Venus (the planet of love) continues its retrograde journey through Scorpio, where it squares Pluto (the planet of the underworld), uncovering our deepest relationship wounds and trust issues. As the Sun enters Scorpio, it meets up with Venus in a restorative cazimi, and we’re invited to plant seeds for the connection, intimacy, and justice we want to grow into with this next Venus cycle. When Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Scorpio, it helps us review the lessons that Venus’ retrograde has taught us so far and sort through any details we still need to address. Plus, there’s a Full Moon in Taurus that illuminates the growth that’s gotten us to this point and reminds us to nourish ourselves for all that’s still to come. This is a time to pour your love, care, and attention into the hurts you wish to heal — and treat yourself and others with the kind of care you want to manifest in your life.This episode covers:Venus’ square to Pluto on Monday, October 19thThe Sun’s entrance into Scorpio on Friday, October 23rdThe Venus cazimi on Friday, October 23rdThe start of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, October 24thVenus’ retrograde into Libra on Sunday, October 25thThe Full Moon in Taurus on Sunday, October 25thTimestamps:00:00 - Intro09:21 - Preparing for the Venus cazimi14:11 - Monday’s Venus–Pluto square15:12 - Friday’s Venus cazimi and Sun in Scorpio ingress29:05 - Saturday’s Mercury retrograde kick-off31:07 - Sunday’s Venus Rx in Libra ingress32:32 - Sunday’s Full Moon in Taurus37:15 - Astrology 10140:20 - Weekly wrap-upThis episode was recorded on 10/13/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Big news: You can now add multiple charts to your CHANI app and dig into readings for all your friends.
