As Mercury retrograde ends, we’re stepping into a week where more retrogrades will wrap up and eclipse season is about to begin. This shift brings a welcome sense of forward movement as Mercury stations direct on Tuesday, November 3rd. The most difficult stretch of your 2020 forecast is behind you—expect a positive turn of events.
The waning Moon this week invites you to close chapters that no longer serve you. If you’ve been evolving all year, this is the time to let old habits fade and allow the new, wiser version of yourself to emerge. Spend a little extra time in meditation, preferably outdoors if you can, to connect with the changes that have been unfolding.

Love Can Happen This Week
Venus moves into Libra this week, bringing a softer, more relational energy that supports romance, harmony, and the deepening of bonds. With the Sun lingering in sultry Scorpio, people are seeking meaningful connection—just be mindful of the tendency to rush under pressure. The last quarter Moon on Sunday may create a “now-or-never” feeling; pause before acting on impulse and let clarity guide you.
Overall, the week carries steady energy and a sense of building momentum. With Mars still retrograde, make time for rest so you can conserve energy and avoid burnout as you move forward.
