Weekly Horoscope, October 26 to November 1, 2025, Preview

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 opposes Chiron retrograde in Aries

Mercury in Sagittarius

Entering Sagittarius on October 29, 2025, is 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 beliefs, and a space to reorient to perspectives that benefit us.

Mercury is the mind. It is the way we see and think, process and perceive. Sagittarius, in its own way, is also the mind, although it is less about everyday processing and more about the belief systems that shape our existence. Sagittarius invites us to widen our existence through exploring more of life. It is the way the mind expands when we are exposed to new belief systems, cultures, and philosophies. It is the big picture pondering as we question the meaning we ascribe to our living 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 been guiding you, and explore the connection between thinking and feeling.

Mercury in Sagittarius Opposite Uranus Retrograde in Gemini

As Mercury crosses into Sagittarius on October 29, 2025, it instantly comes into opposition with Uranus retrograde in Gemini. The zodiac is literally a circle of constellations in our cosmos. When two planets form an opposition, they sit directly across from one another, 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 co-exist within us. Mercury, Uranus, Sagittarius, and Gemini are each highly intellectually stimulating, expansive, and quick. On this day, there is a profound stretching happening in a sort 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 let it show us more. We are exploring both intuition and logic, belief and fact, expansion and detail. We are both Mercury in Sagittarius and Uranus in Gemini. Meaning, as these two planets come into an opposition, we are being stretched across the entire zodiac—particularly our minds. We are the entire cosmos, not just one of these planets. Your weekly horoscope includes supportive practices include anything that brings you back to the body, the breath, 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 self and other—just as the self cannot exist without the other, the other cannot exist without the self. Our life is built on relating, connecting, and collaborating, yet it is also built on personal direction, truth, individuality, and preferences. Venus remembers this. She is a planet desiring partnership, love, balance, and harmony. Chiron, however, is different. It is focused more on the self as our deepest hurts and, at the same time, a doorway into our deepest wisdom.

Continuing the themes that arose under the recent new Moon in Libra, this opposition is an opportunity for healing relational dynamics. In particular, our ability to show up in the truth of who we are and claim our space, desires, and individuality while moving within a world of relating. It touches on themes of individuality, selfhood, and courage—especially the fears, patterns, and stories that arise when we desire to bring that authentic self into the realm of relationship, whether acquaintance, friend, lover, or something else.

Weekly Horoscope, October 26 to November 1, 2025

To move with these astrological transits means to remain open. To remain curious. To remain playful. To remain willing to be surprised. Your weekly horoscope reminds you that you can’t know what you don’t yet know—and there is beauty in that. To move with the offerings of this week is to let come into the body so that our minds may play and move without overstimulating us. That looks like whatever physical expression of the body helps your emotions flow freely. For sometimes, all emotions need is a place to move. Read for your rising sign.

Aries Rising

This week asks you to let yourself be a student of life as well as a student of yourself. Explore your knowing, your wisdom, your body and spirit. As you disrupt old thought patterns and relational dynamics, you stretch 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 creates a stretching of the mind, for you this opening takes place through first listening and trusting your felt sense, emotions, and inner knowing. That happens when you indulge in whatever supportive habits help you draw closer to a sense of embodied safety and emotional nurturance. Be certain to spend some time in silence.

Gemini Rising

Any outdated perspectives and relational dynamics that shape the way you interact with life are ready to be alchemized. The transits at play in the days ahead can help you transcend the feeling that you don’t belong or that you need to contort yourself before you can be understood. It’s a change that happens most readily when you think less and inhabit your body and your life with more truth, creativity, happiness, and confidence.

Cancer Rising

Make space for inner work related to the past that integrates to your present. As you sit in silence, your intuition heightens, as does your self-authority and confidence. Do not lose sight of the fact that you are part of a vast network of wisdom, potential, and beauty, both seen and unseen. You can draw on this as needed.

Leo Rising

Let yourself be curious this week. Life is showing you more and inviting you to play, create, and express yourself. Remain aware of how these experiences alter your self-expression—whether in ways seen or unseen, subtle or obvious—and how they allow 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 worthiness, inner resolve, self-trust, safety, and intimacy, you confront your innermost truths. Expansion is ready to take place—both inward and outward, mental and emotional. The week reminds you that access to your highest knowing comes only when you take proper care of yourself.

Libra Rising

The week brings expansion to how you perceive the world and how you move through it. What are you drawn to explore? Claiming your self-confidence and self-love? Revisiting your outdated relational patterns and dynamics? Let yourself be open to new intuition and perceptions, thought patterns and beliefs. As you allow more of your energy into your body, let outdated energy release out.

Scorpio Rising

The days ahead explore unprecedented depths of self-worth, safety, inner strength, and outer resources available to you. As you explore an alternate way to consider finances, intuition, health, and self-trust, be curious. Observe where life is stretching you. Where old emotions arise, let your newfound security help you afford them space to exist and dissipate.

Sagittarius Rising 

You are transforming—claiming your creativity, belonging, self, and people. Expanding your ability to remain true to yourself while remaining open to collaboration. Let yourself be changed. Let your truth move beyond your existing identity. Let your heart expand for the people you love. Let your life speak more loudly.

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 hear only in the silence. In order to make space for this, move only in the ways that self-care inspire you, including emotional tending, self-authority, and loving confidence.

Aquarius Rising

This is a week of holding perceived opposites—self and community, intuition and logic. Being your most truthful, individual, and authentic self allows you to feel held within the larger collective. Against this backdrop, it is in embracing what is unknown to your mind that you come to know more.

Pisces Rising

Your weekly horoscope invites more of you to step into your life. Not just in your inner world but in how you share yourself with the world. Allow yourself more of what brings you an intrinsic sense of security, worthiness, and belonging. From this place, you will be better able to embrace your imaginings and move toward your desires.
