Weekly horoscope, October 26 to November 1, 2025, example

October 26 | Moon enters Capricorn
October 29 | Moon enters Aquarius; Mercury enters Sagittarius and opposes Uranus retrograde in Gemini
October 31 | Moon enters Pisces
November 1 | Venus in Libra is opposite Chiron retrograde in Aries

Mercury in Sagittarius

On October 29, 2025, Sagittarius enters the planet Mercury. As it travels through the Jupiter-ruled sign, we are invited into an expansion of the mind, a deepening of faith, trust and personal convictions, and a space to reorient ourselves towards perspectives that benefit us.

Mercury is the mind. It is the way we see and think, process and perceive. Sagittarius is also the mind in its own way, although it is less about the day-to-day processing and more about the belief systems that shape our existence. Sagittarius invites us to broaden our existence by exploring more of life. It is the way the mind expands when we are exposed to new belief systems, cultures and philosophies. It’s the big picture that we think about as we question the meaning we assign to our lives and the purpose of it all.

Play with your mind. Expand your perspectives. Invite yourself to see in new ways, question the beliefs that have guided you, and explore the connection between thinking and feeling.

Mercury in Sagittarius opposite Uranus Retrograde in Gemini

If Mercury Entering Sagittarius on October 29, 2025, it immediately opposes Uranus retrograde in Gemini. The zodiac is literally a circle of constellations in our cosmos. When two planets form an opposition, they sit directly opposite each other, anchoring opposite ends of this cosmic circle along an axis.

Oppositions are never exclusively this or that. They ask us to hold both ends of the spectrum and expand ourselves so that both experiences can coexist within us. Mercury, Uranus, Sagittarius and Gemini are each very intellectually stimulating, expansive and fast-paced. On this day a profound event takes place in a kind of mental liberation – a breaking down of rigid ways of seeing, speaking about and understanding the world.

This opposition asks us to stretch ourselves and let more of life communicate with us. To show us more. We explore both intuition and logic, faith and fact, expansion and detail. We are both Mercury in Sagittarius and Uranus in Gemini. This means that as these two planets come into opposition, we are scattered throughout the zodiac – especially our minds. We are the entire cosmos, not just one of these planets. Your weekly horoscope includes supportive practices, including everything that brings you back to the body, breathing, and the ground beneath you.

Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Retrograde in Aries

Another opposition, another opportunity to integrate into wholeness. This week also brings Venus in Libra opposite Chiron retrograde in Aries on November 1, 2025.

Aries and Libra are the axis of the self and the other – just as the self cannot exist without the other, the other cannot exist without the self. Our lives are built on connecting, connecting and collaborating, but it is also built on personal direction, truth, individuality and preferences. Venus remembers this. She is a planet that longs for partnership, love, balance and harmony. However, Chiron is different. It is more focused on the self as our deepest pain and at the same time a door to our deepest wisdom.

Building on the themes that emerged under the recent New Moon in Libra, this opposition is an opportunity to heal relationship dynamics. In particular, our ability to speak into the truth of who we are and claim our space, desires and individuality as we move in a world of relationships. It touches on themes of individuality, individuality and courage – especially the fears, patterns and stories that arise when we want to bring that authentic self into the realm of relationships, whether it is an acquaintance, friend, lover or something else.

Weekly horoscope, October 26 to November 1, 2025

Moving with these astrological transits means staying open. To stay curious. Stay playful. To remain prepared to be surprised. Your weekly horoscope reminds you that you can’t know what you don’t know yet – and there is beauty in that. Moving with this week’s offering is letting it get into the body so that our minds can play and move without overstimulating us. That seems like whatever physical expression of the body helps your emotions flow freely. Because sometimes all emotions need is a place to move. Read for your rising sign.

Aries rising

This week asks you to allow yourself to be both a student of life and a student of yourself. Discover your knowledge, your wisdom, your body and mind. As you disrupt old thought patterns and relational dynamics, you expand your beliefs, identity, and relationships. Keep your mind open and receptive as you explore your own identity.

Taurus rising

Your body is your own source of wisdom with its knowing, rhythm, intuition and intelligence. Although this week brings an expansion of the mind, this opening for you takes place by first listening to and trusting your felt feelings, emotions and inner knowledge. That happens when you indulge in the supportive habits that help you move closer to a sense of embodied safety and emotional nurturing. Make sure you spend some time in silence.

Gemini rising

All the outdated perspectives and relational dynamics that shape the way you interact with life are ready to be alchemized. The transits in the coming days can help you overcome the feeling that you don’t belong or that you have to contort yourself before you can be understood. It is a change that comes most easily when you think less and inhabit your body and life with more truth, creativity, happiness and confidence.

Cancer is rising

Make room for inner work related to the past that integrates with your present. As you sit in silence, your intuition increases, as does your self-authority and self-confidence. Don’t lose sight of the fact that you are part of a vast network of wisdom, potential and beauty, both seen and unseen. You can use this if necessary.

Leo rising

Be curious this week. Life shows you more and invites you to play, create and express yourself. Stay aware of how these experiences change your self-expression – visible or invisible, subtle or obvious – and how they enable you to offer something more to others.

Virgo rising

The days ahead are a reminder that meeting your inherent needs strengthens, not weakens, your work and your legacy. As you explore issues related to dignity, inner fortitude, self-confidence, security and intimacy, you will be confronted with your deepest truths. Expansion is ready to take place – both internally and externally, mentally and emotionally. This week reminds you that accessing your highest knowing is only possible if you take good care of yourself.

Libra rises

The week expands the way you perceive the world and how you move through it. What are you drawn to explore? Want to claim your self-confidence and self-love? Revisiting your outdated relational patterns and dynamics? Be open to new intuitions and perceptions, thought patterns and beliefs. As you allow more energy into your body, stale energy is released.

Scorpio rising

The coming days will explore unprecedented depths of self-esteem, security, inner strength, and outer resources available to you. Be curious as you explore an alternative way to think about finances, intuition, health and self-confidence. Observe where life challenges you. Where old emotions surface, let your newfound security help you give them space to exist and pass away.

Sagittarius rising

You are transforming and claiming your creativity, your connection, yourself and people. Increase your ability to stay true to yourself while remaining open to collaboration. Let yourself change. Let your truth go beyond your existing identity. Let your heart expand for the people you love. Let your life speak louder.

Capricorn Rising

The vast universe of potentials, ideas and perspectives that exist invites you to make more of a home within yourself. Trust the intuition that you only hear in the silence. To make room for this, move only in the ways that self-care inspires you, including emotional tendencies, self-authority, and loving trust.

Aquarius rising

This is a week in which we cherish perceived opposites: self and community, intuition and logic. Being your truest, individual, and authentic self can help you feel held within the larger collective. Against this backdrop, you learn more by embracing what your mind doesn’t know.

Pisces rising

Your weekly horoscope invites more of you to step into your life. Not only in your inner world, but also in the way you share yourself with the world. Give yourself more of what gives you an intrinsic sense of safety, dignity and connection. From this place you will be better able to embrace your fantasies and realize your desires.
