This week kicks off with a powerful double event on Monday, and both carry long-term impact. First, Mercury enters Scorpio during the day, shifting our collective mindset toward depth, strategy, and emotional honesty. Conversations go below the surface, and clarity comes through curiosity, not confrontation.
Later that evening, the Full Moon in Aries arrives, marking the end of eclipse season. It helps settle and illuminate the changes you’ve recently made, and how they’re starting to take shape. What’s revealed now offers a sneak peek at what’s coming in your Aries-ruled zone in 2026.
All week long, Pluto slows to station direct, stirring up transformation in subtle but undeniable ways. Power dynamics, personal evolution, and long-buried truths might quietly resurface.
Truth rises. Energy clears. Change sticks.
Mercury enters Scorpio: Monday, October 6
This week’s astrology pulls us deeper into emotional truth. On Monday, as Mercury enters Scorpio, communication in relationships shifts from surface-level chit-chat to something more emotionally charged. This isn’t the time to sugar-coat what you’re feeling. It’s the time to ask the question you’ve been avoiding, admit what’s been bothering you, or speak up about what you need, even if it feels vulnerable. Scorpio energy doesn’t mess around, and neither should we when it comes to honesty.
If something’s been simmering beneath the surface, this transit might stir it up. But it’s not to cause drama, it’s to create depth. For couples or close bonds, this is an ideal week to have one of those “real talks” that clears the air. For new connections, there may be a sudden pull toward intensity or intimacy... Just don’t confuse intensity with compatibility.
Monday night’s Full Moon in Aries can be a pressure point for relationships, especially if one person has been carrying more than their fair share. Aries energy doesn’t wait for permission. You (or someone else) might reach a breaking point, or a breakthrough. Themes of independence vs. togetherness come to the forefront. The key? Don’t play the blame game. Focus on how to move forward more honestly, even if it means redefining the relationship altogether.
If you’re single, this Full Moon could bring a moment of clarity about what (or who) you’re really looking for, particularly if your recent choices haven’t aligned with your actual needs.
Careers & Work
There’s a shift in tone this week around work; less talk, more strategy.
With Mercury entering Scorpio on Monday, your mental energy becomes more investigative, focused, and even a little obsessive (in a good way). You might find yourself drawn to problem-solving tasks, financial decisions, or research-heavy projects. If something at work hasn’t been adding up, you’ll want to get to the bottom of it now. This is also a brilliant week to revisit old ideas with fresh eyes. What didn’t work six months ago might finally make sense now, especially if you approach it from a new angle.
Scorpio is also the sign of contracts, investments, and power dynamics. So if you're negotiating a raise, redefining your role, or considering a major financial decision, Mercury here gives you an edge, just be mindful of control issues. Ask yourself: are you holding back out of fear, or standing firm because it’s truly aligned?
The Full Moon in Aries on Monday evening highlights whether your current path is truly fulfilling or just something you’ve gotten used to. If you've been sitting on an idea or secretly wanting to pivot, this could be the spark that pushes you to finally make a move. It might come through a moment of frustration, or inspiration. Either way, this Moon encourages courageous action.
By the time we approach the weekend, Pluto's near-direct station reminds us that long-term success isn’t just about what we do, but how we do it. You might notice deeper questions arising: Who holds the power in your work relationships? Are your ambitions still rooted in truth, or are you chasing a version of success that no longer fits?
Monday’s Full Moon in Aries offers closure around identity shifts that began months ago, especially around who you are when you’re not trying to be what others expect. This Moon closes the loop on eclipse season; not through sudden shocks, but by helping us embody the choices we’ve made. If the last few months have felt like an emotional obstacle course, now you get to pause and notice what’s shifted inside you.
Expect mood spikes early in the week, especially if you’re someone who tends to bottle things up. Aries doesn’t keep quiet. You may feel a strong need to do something with your emotions. That could mean journaling, running, venting to a friend. Please don’t let it turn into impulsive self-sabotage.
As Pluto slows to station direct on Saturday, its intensity grows, but not in obvious ways. Think of it as an emotional undertow... Gentle on the surface, powerful underneath. You may find yourself revisiting a decision or pattern that’s ready to change. Pluto is about long-term transformation, and its influence this week helps us realise what no longer holds power over us.
Give yourself permission to reflect, integrate, and move forward, not with urgency, but with intention. The breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from getting honest about what you’re ready to leave behind.
