10/20 • Venus Rx (relationships & finances) ~square~ Pluto (transformation & purification):
(2 of 3: 9/15 :: 10/20 :: 12/9)
This activation brings a profound & potent moment, demanding your attention and urging you to embark on a transformative journey. Its influence reverberates intensely, often compelling you to venture beyond the familiar realms into uncharted territories, particularly in the spheres of relationships & resources. Prepare for an immersion into the depths of emotional resonance, your Soul level, as this activation sparks encounters & exchanges with others that can unearth insecurities or stir hidden fears within oneself or within the dynamics shared between you. Stability finds itself absent from the equation, signaling an imminent & inevitable wave of change, thanks to Pluto. The rumblings of this shift may have already grazed your awareness, yet now it stands fully present, offering an invitation to act with foresight or face the repercussions of delaying the inevitable. One of my Kelly-isms is: “Pay now or pay double later” – which echoes all through this transit. The more you hold on, the harder and more painful it will ultimately be for you. Despite the natural inclination to clutch onto familiarity, try to resist that temptation. Pluto, as is its nature, intensifies all that it touches, so intensity is part of the equation. Honoring the necessary purification and embracing change stands as the wise choice, alleviating the potential for greater discomfort that comes when you resist Pluto’s purification & transformative powers. Activate your inner compass, discern your renewed values and align with your truest priorities of here & now. In choosing change consciously, you lay the groundwork for a new & different future, free from the shackles of the old or an opportunity for something new that resonates more harmoniously with your natural essence and current aspirations.

10/23 • Venus Rx (beauty & creativity) ~conjunct~ Sun (individuality & Light):
This energy activates your innate creativity, sparking ideas about what you want to express or bring to life in the world, what you want to invest in, and what you want to be part of. When the Sun contacts Venus, the focus is on your individual creativity, but with Venus contacting the Sun, it is all about your creations! Use this Solar infusion to brighten and illuminate yourself, your surroundings & your creative projects. This will expand and brighten your magnetic field, attracting opportunities that are perfect for you. A burst of new energy is wanting to be expressed through you, based on your new values & priorities, marking the beginning of a new creative cycle. Remember, love is also a creative force. If your relationships are taking center stage, this energy will enhance what you create with others. This is a potent time for planting new seeds, so be open to support & guidance from men and the Sacred Masculine within and around you.
10/23 – Juno Dir RE-Enters AQUARIUS (until 1.14.2027):
This is special because she has been lingering in Capricorn/Aquarius since the end of 2025, re-setting the new roles & responsibilities that we are choosing in partnerships now and going forward. We have (theoretically) agreed to new terms so now, as she moves through Aquarius, our independence, sovereignty & freedom within the context of all our relationships, partnerships & collaborations (at home or work) becomes the number one priority. If we cannot feel that things are fair & balanced or if there are constant ego-battles and drama at every turn, then it is not going to work – on any level (private or public). The best thing to do with this energy is detach & discover the larger vision or perspective for your life at this time. After a lot of closure in recent months, now is the time to dream up how you would like to navigate your partnerships in the future.
Juno represents how we do partnership – on all levels, but intimacy in particular. This is a time when we are supported to re-set and re-negotiate our roles & responsibilities within the context of our interactions with others. Some things have run their course, as the last time she was here was Nov 2021. We have all grown tremendously in that time. Life is different and our values & priorities are different, which means that we have the opportunity for a very clean slate. Our current collaborations can use the upgrade to a new level and it sets the foundation to attract all new support from others. This is a time when we can also rebirth what we would like to be “known for” in our partnerships. For example, when you are actively parenting young children, you are “known” as the Parent, however, once they grow up and you hit Empty Next, you want to be “known” for something different. That goes for ANY roles or responsibilities which have outgrown their usefulness. It is also a great time to check-in with the general stability & fortitude of your primary relationships and do whatever maintenance needs to be done at this time to ensure a successful future of conscious equal partnership. It is time to finish the review that has been taking place since the first of the year and take advantage of Juno lingering in your Capricorn & Aquarius Houses/Areas of Life so that you can recalibrate your primary relationships so that they reflect the personal upgrades that we have all gone through lately.

10/24 • Mercury Retro in SCORPIO (until 11/13):
Mercury in Scorpio takes us beneath the surface. This is not the energy of casual thinking or polite conversation, it asks us to investigate, question, research & uncover what is actually going on underneath our thoughts, words, choices & perceptions. The deeper question is: What have you learned about your own personal power to create your world? What mental attitudes, beliefs or stories have shaped the reality that you are experiencing and which of them have simply run their course? Scorpio understands that something must sometimes die before something new can live and Mercury asks us to consciously participate in that process. We are conceiving a new way of thinking, perceiving & processing what we have learned over the last quarter.
When Mercury Retrogrades or lingers in Scorpio, the process becomes even more internal & investigative. What was moving beneath the surface may circle back for another look. Old conversations, beliefs, fears, secrets, memories or unresolved questions can resurface, which is not necessarily because you need to repeat the past, but because you are finally equipped to understand it differently. Mercury Retrograde gives us permission to slow down & reconsider what we thought we knew. In Scorpio, that review can be profound: What has changed about the way you think? What no longer has power over you? What are you ready to stop feeding? What truth are you finally willing to acknowledge?
This can also be a conception point, a quiet but potent period in which a new mental framework is forming before it is ready to be fully expressed. So do not rush to have all the answers. Instead, create time & space for research, journaling, listening & following the thread. Give your Shadow something constructive to do so it does not default to old, toxic or repetitive patterns. Let curiosity lead without turning it into obsession. And remember: when you go into Scorpio territory, you are not required to fix everything you discover. Sometimes the first act of transformation is simply seeing clearly.
Ultimately, Mercury Retro in Scorpio is an invitation to reclaim the sovereignty of your mind. You are not your old beliefs. You are not every thought that passes through your consciousness. You are the one who gets to investigate, discern, choose & consciously participate in what you create next. Let the old mental pattern die where it needs to die. Let the new one be conceived with intention. Then give your newly liberated mind something worthy to create.
And because Scorpio deals with both creation & destruction, language becomes especially powerful under this influence. Words can create realities, but they can also reinforce patterns that keep us trapped. Notice the language that you use when you speak about your Self, your relationships, body, money, sexuality, creative power and/or your future. What needs to be released altogether from your vocabulary because it no longer represents who you are becoming? Perhaps it is time to renew your language and practice saying things in new or different ways or tell a new story.
