A Full Moon & Mercury Retrograde Are Making For A Spooky Halloweek

Fairness and equity are the name of the game, but how do we actually define these ideals? This could be a hotly contested topic starting on Tuesday. The mindful messenger planet has been doing a number on the world since it first turned retrograde on October 13. From missing mail-in ballots to misinformation being cobbled into conspiracy theories to misbehaving media moguls flashing their colleagues on Zoom—Mercury's two-week moonwalk through Scorpio has not strayed from its reputation.

Despite Mercury retrograde shadowing the love planet through this zodiac court until November 3, peacekeeping Venus will restore a harmony to the world while hovering here until November 21. During this golden romantic period, Cupid will be in close firing range and, despite our election anxiety, his arrows are sure to hit the mark. (TBH, who couldn't use a dose of distraction while nervously awaiting the results of this pivotal moment in history?)

Libra is the zodiac's partnership sign. Whether for business or pleasure, it's time to collaborate, cooperate, and communicate with joy once again. And indulge a little, as best you can.

This is the first time we've had a full moon on October 31 since 2001, so we'd call it a pretty big deal! Calling all Little Women, Tiger Kings, and @SashaBeFlutings.

Full moons are notorious for bringing out the wild side in us all, so good luck trying to skip out on the worldwide costume party. And that goes double for. this Saturday, given that spontaneous Uranus in Taurus is directly wired into the full moon's network while also opposing the seductive Scorpio Sun. True, our howling activities may be restricted, but by no means should Halloween be #canceled. In earthy, luxe Taurus, this full moon will direct many of us outdoors. Go on a haunted hike through the woods or through a ghost town, if you dare.
