Friday night promises a cosmic cocktail of emotions as the Marsy Aries Moon struts its stuff, tangoing with retro Neptune, sextiling Aquarius Pluto, and graciously mingling with retro Gemini Uranus. Talk about a surprise party in the sky! Just when you think it can’t get wilder, the newly Scorpion Sun wades into the fray, joining forces with retro Venus, while the Moon perfects its sextile to Uranus. It’s a mood that whispers sweet nothings of magic and delightful reflection, turning our frowns upside down in playful mischief.
But hold up, partygoers—this isn’t just a carefree escapade. As Saturday dawns, Scorpio Mercury shifts gears, breaking its pause to enter retrograde, leading us down a rabbit hole of reflection. Are we ready to retrace our steps and capture those fleeting moments that lit up our spirits? Or is the past merely a wily trickster trying to distract us from the current cosmic show? With the Scorpio Sun squaring Aquarius Pluto all weekend, it’s a timely reminder to sidestep those ego traps as we navigate potentially sticky situations, while keeping those rivalry vibes in check.
And as the full moon approaches, our cosmic agenda only intensifies. Questions hang in the air: will we engage in power struggles or rise above them? These reflections are essential—because letting go isn’t a sign of defeat; it’s about crafting space for something new and better to emerge. So, how do you want to fold your story into this celestial tapestry? Are you up for the challenge or ready to retreat into introspection? Navigate wisely, my stargazing friends, as we brace ourselves for the waves of cosmic energy crashing down. LEARN MORE.

Friday night, the Marsy Aries Moon conjoins retro Neptune, sextiles Aquarius Pluto, then sextiles retro Gemini Uranus. The newly Scorpion Sun spends the same span of time moving into conjunction with retro Venus, exact as the Moon perfects its sextile to Uranus. Surprise!
Immediately after, in the wee hours of Saturday morning, Scorpio Mercury breaks its pause to turn retrograde. So Friday night’s mood is actively magical, titillating and satisfying — deep reflection that turns up the corners of your mouth in a twinkly smirk. So delicious.
When the bubble bursts, it’s no tangible piñata. It’s a call to rewind, retrace your steps to access clarity and direction. And yet, there’s an undercurrent of pleasure and recovery. Mercury heads back into square with sunny Leo Mars. What was that something different that elevated the mood? Can it be captured? Looking back is natural, but is it helpful? Who knows, but the mood says explore.
The Scorpio Sun heads into square with Aquarius Pluto all weekend, as the Sun and retro Venus pull further apart. Venus pulls away from its past-exact square to Pluto and heads back into opposition with retro Chiron in Aries. Ultimately, we’re in trouble if we charge into ego challenges. We’ve got to rise to the pro-social challenge of not engaging the same old power struggle when it shows up wearing a brand new mask.
Juno is involved: watch for rivalries, jealousy, and possessiveness.
Somebody jabs your ego? Pause. Are you in danger? If no, sidestep the challenge. If yes, redirect their attention and sidestep the challenge. There’s no win in engaging here. Don’t play. Venus is still nearby, so use charm.
Saturday night, the Aries Moon trines sign-ruler Mars in Leo then quincunxes retro Mercury in Scorpio. So any Sun-Pluto challenge can be subverted with simple generosity of manner and quick humor. La, how jolly! Be royal, and you won’t get caught in a power trap.
Early Sunday, retro Venus crosses back into Libra — into its own rulership in cardinal air. The Aries Moon trines Jupiter in Leo, and the mood expands in warmth and good will. Midday into afternoon, the Aries Moon conjoins retro Chiron and opposes retro Venus. The fixes in relationship — were they tuned to your liking? Or did you just go along? Any discrepancies pull at the mood, but they’re also coming up to be readdressed. Why paint over something you can fix?
Then the Moon moves to Venus-ruled Taurus and opposition to the Scorpio Sun. The full moon. The Moon and Sun oppose while very closely aligned with the retro Venus-Chiron opposition, exact conjunctions just behind them. The Moon and Sun both square Pluto in Aquarius, active and just ahead by less than a degree. Power struggles from the past that had been properly managed may seem to unravel in the present. But this is no time to lean in to the eruption. If the old answers aren’t working, give yourself time to rethink before action. Wait for the dust to settle before engaging in a tussle for control of the road ahead.
It’s a full moon, something’s coming down. I’m not saying don’t act. I’m saying, don’t get involved in a power play. There are other parts of the plan to work on — bits where there’s no metaphorical lava flowing. Look there. Look back for what was working that’s still working and regroup.
It’s tough to let go if you’re riding your ego. It feels like losing. It’s not. Let what’s dead fall away. When it’s done we’ll have something to work with. It’s okay to step back to conserve resources while there’s dire drama. Going down with the ship means you won’t be around to help in the aftermath. Pause, reflect.
The full moon takes place Sunday night at 2 degrees of Taurus with Pluto at 3 Aquarius. Where does it hit your chart? Is there a power struggle, a challenge to your ego or goals?
Spoopy was a choice, not a typo. Actually it’s slang that probably originated from a purposeful, meme-ified typo from Tumblr times. According to Merriam-Webster it’s “something that is spooky in a cute, silly, or comical way rather than genuinely frightening.” Full moon ruler Venus will retrograde back through cardinal Libra to sextile Mars and Jupiter TWICE in November. That’s a lot beneficial recruitment. So in the end, whimsy will prevail. Things fall apart so they can come together correctly.
