Pisces Weekly Horoscope

The week at a glance

The Full Moon in Taurus on Monday, October 26 falls in your 3rd house of talking, learning and short trips. Full Moons bring things to a head rather than beginning them, and this one does it in your conversations, messages, learning and local movement.

Underneath that, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde all week. Here is where the slower bodies are sitting, counted from Pisces:

• The Sun in Scorpio — your 9th house. It spends this stretch of the year illuminating that part of your life.
• Mercury in Scorpio (retrograde) — your 9th house. It means the thinking happens there, whether or not the doing does.
• Venus in Libra (retrograde) — your 8th house. It is the reason that part of life is currently the least of your problems.
• Mars in Leo — your 6th house. It puts your energy and your irritability in the same place.
• Jupiter in Leo — your 6th house. It opens it up, which is an opportunity and an invitation to overdo it.
• Saturn in Aries (retrograde) — your 2nd house. It wants it built properly, and will make a second attempt necessary if it is not.

The Moon through your week

It begins the week in Taurus, through the talking part of your week. From Wednesday, October 28 it moves into Gemini, through home ground, where you can drop the performance. On Friday, October 30 it crosses into Cancer, through the part of you that wants to play. Sunday, November 1 takes it into Leo, through the working hours, useful for grinding through a list.

Everything else here changes over months or years. The Moon changes every couple of days, and that is the part you actually notice.

Love and connection

Venus is in Libra, your 8th house of shared money, depth and change, so this week the material is the stuff you do not discuss casually — joint money, trust, what is owed. Open the shared account, the contract or the subject you have both been avoiding.

Venus makes no exact aspect this week, so nothing forces the issue. The warmest window is Friday, October 30, when the Moon crosses your fifth house and makes it easier to be light about things.

Work and money

Mars is in Leo, your 6th house, which is where your effort will actually land this week — daily work, routine, service and health. Mercury in Scorpio puts the conversations and paperwork in your 9th house instead, so the thinking and the doing are aimed at different targets.

The Sun is still in Scorpio, your 9th house, which is the background theme for the whole month rather than just this week: the frame widens — travel, study, publishing, anything that enlarges the map.

Wellbeing

The Moon does not touch your twelfth house this week, so there is no built-in rest window. You will have to make one. The Moon reaches your sixth house of routine and health on Sunday, November 1, which is the natural day to deal with the appointment, the admin or the habit you have been avoiding. Energy tracks the Moon this week: it peaks around the Full Moon on Monday, October 26. As a water sign you absorb the mood of whatever room you are in; some of this week's tiredness will not be yours.

Dates that matter

These are the days something perfects rather than merely builds:

• Monday, October 26 — Sun square Pluto. They refuse to agree, which usually forces a decision you have been deferring. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 12th house (rest, endings and the inner life).
• Wednesday, October 28 — Sun quincunx Uranus. They do not fit together, and want a small adjustment rather than a decision. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 4th house (home, family and roots).
• Friday, October 30 — Mercury square Mars. They pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 6th house (work, routine and health).
• Sunday, November 1 — Sun quincunx Saturn. They never quite line up, which shows as a nagging sense of something being slightly off. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 2nd house (money, values and self-worth).
