Good morning, dear reader! 🌙

First — thank you to everyone who joined me at the New Moon Circle Friday. It was such a lovely gathering and I am so glad we got to be in that space together. 🌟

During the circle we spent a lot of time talking about how Venus, currently in retrograde, is really helping us in this New Moon to dig in deeper than what lives on the surface. In so many ways the energy she is giving us is to really transform and strip way old ideals that no longer serve us to "balance the scales" we all have inside of us.

To me it is a lot like the feeling of fall. The sap inside of the trees is slowing down which triggers teh beautiful colors in the leaves. This slowing down can feel like things have been realigning your viewpoint of relationships, values and even your finaces. If this has been something you have noticed for yourself over this past week it culd be something Venus Retrograde is talking to wihtin your chart. It is not something to be scared of, just to notice. I know that I have felt this personally so I can imagine others have as well and habe been refletin gon along the way..

On Tuesday October 13 I will be turning 51 and will have a 4th house perfection year. This means that the ruler of my 4th house, Leo/the Sun, can play an added emphisise in the energy until my 52nd birthday. When you have a Solar Return session with me I give a gift of a mediataion to meet your Timelord, and for me I will be listening to the mediation I made for the Sun to see what insights there are for me for the year ahead. This is open to anyone, and be sure to check out the discount codes at the bottom of this message or in my linktree for your code to receive 15% off any service or class.

🌟October 11-12, 2026| Scorpio Moon

The Moon: There is a certain intensity that can be felt under the Scorpio Moon this year — especially with everything currently in the sky. She will be in Scorpio from 10:21 am CT Sunday through 7:59 pm CT Tuesday October 13th.

How to work with it: With Venus Retrograde meeting up with this Moon in the evening you may feel a carry over from the energy given to us at the Libra New Moon. If frustrations happen tears may flow — just a heads up. Having honest and open conversations with those you hold dear may feel very natural over these next few days as the Moon travels through Scorpio. If things get hard lean into your intuition for what feels empowering, drink your water, and rest as needed.

Other energy:

Sunday — If power struggles arise — especially if you are a parent — figuring out how both sides can feel like it is a win may be needed. The Moon squares Pluto and holds hands with Venus Retrograde today, giving us this energy of wanting to collaborate but very much on our own terms. And when I say “our” I mean everyone may want it their own way. 😄

Monday — As the Moon continues through Scorpio she squares Mars and holds hands with Mercury. This could give you some intuitive ideas on how to solve a problem and open up honest conversations to make it happen. With the Mars interaction there could be some friction between being vulnerable through the Scorpio Moon and the ego through Mars in Leo. Both can be stubborn at times — the key is to not become defensive. Can you take a beat and breathe before reacting? That said this can also be a very creative period of time and even offers a little romance too. It is truly up to you how you direct this energy.

✨ October 13, 2026 | Day Long Fuzzies

The Moon: The Moon slips into a 16 hour, 14 minute Void of Course period from 3:45 am CT to 7:59 pm CT today.

How to work with it: Make your to-do list Monday night for anything you want to get done on Tuesday. It may feel like a scattered kind of day — hence the day long fuzzies — and having that list could help you stay on track. Rest as needed is my best advice.

Once she shifts into Sagittarius it may feel like your energy picks back up — and if you are a parent you may find your kids need some extra time to get the wiggles out at bedtime too.

✨October 14-15, 2026| Sagittarius Moon

The Moon: She moved into Sagittarius on Tuesday at 7:59 pm CT and will be there until Friday at 7:56 am CT.

How to work with it: Lean into joy and conversations that really stimulate your mind. A Sagittarius Moon in Libra Season loves to experience new ideas and even a few adventures while staying diplomatic about it all. If things get hard lean into what would bring you joy — especially if you are having a hard time deciding on something.

Other energy:

Wednesday — It is an expect-the-unexpected kind of day that can feel intuitively driven with a desire to move your body — especially if what you are moving toward is something fun!

Thursday — Three key things happen today.

First, the Sun and Jupiter make a beautiful angle that could have you noticing new open doors you had not seen before. The key with this one is to actually notice it — or it could slip right by. Conversations may flow more easily today and it may feel simpler to see other people’s point of view while still staying true to your own.

Then at 4:55 pm CT the Moon slips into a Void of Course window that carries us through to 7:56 am CT Friday. Your dreamscape may be very interesting and vivid tonight — just a heads up.

Last but certainly not least — Pluto stations direct at 3° Aquarius. If you have felt stuck with something since May 6, 2026 you may start to notice some forward movement. These feelings may have you moving past outdated power dynamics and releasing things that no longer feel authentic to you. Unless Pluto is speaking directly to one of your planets though you may see this more in the headlines than in your personal life.

✨October 16, 2026| Capricorn Moon

The Moon: The Moon moves into Capricorn at 7:56 am CT Friday and will be there until 8:39 pm CT Sunday. The First Quarter Moon peaks at 11:12 am CT Sunday morning — more about that next week.

How to work with it: Both the Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun are Cardinal signs which means they both like to lead. The Capricorn Moon is focused on reputation and how you want to be seen, while the Libra Sun wants collaboration. This can create a frustration between wanting to take the lead and feeling like you need to check in with another first. If things get hard lean into the element of Earth — which is what Capricorn is made of. How can you slow down and come back into your body? Going outside for a breath of fresh air may help too.

Other energy:

While we are sleeping Mars and Saturn trine each other — and you may feel this building as early as Thursday. If you have been looking for creative ideas or solutions around how you want to move something forward, this is the energy to tap into.

Throughout the day the Moon makes aspects to Chiron, Neptune, and Venus — giving potential ups and downs of inner child work, feeling into what is true and what is not, and conversations with someone close to you that may bring some of this to the surface. Following the breadcrumbs may feel frustrating at times — though the reward at the end of it is well worth it.

✨ In Closing:

This week has the Libra New Moon at its heart — and everything surrounding it feels like an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and get honest about what truly matters to you right now. Venus Retrograde is doing her quiet, deep work. Mercury’s pre-shadow is collecting the thoughts and conversations that will matter more than you realize. And Pluto stationing direct on Thursday signals that something that has felt stuck since May may finally start to move.

It is not a week to force anything. It is a week to notice. To feel. To follow the breadcrumbs even when they feel frustrating — because the reward at the end is worth it.

A few things to keep on your radar — I will be in Nashville from October 11th through the 18th so my availability for consults is limited during that time and for two days after. If you have been thinking about booking something please grab a spot before I leave. And the 51% birthday Patreon discount goes away at 11:59 pm CT on October 13th — my 51st birthday. I would love to have you inside Between the Moons before then.

The Deeper Dive into Pluto and your Scorpio House is Thursday October 22nd — just one day before Scorpio Season begins. Perfect timing. All the details are in the Link to All Things.

Until next week — be patient with yourself. The depths Venus is asking you to explore are worth every step. 🌙

with love and stardust,

Sarah
