This week starts a little bumpy and finishes with one of the sweetest moments of the whole Venus retrograde cycle. We've just had an intense Full Moon in Taurus that squared Pluto, so we're now in the waning cycle, the time to let go. Halloween brings a scrappy Mercury Mars square, and then on November 4, Venus retrograde in Libra harmonises with lucky Jupiter, making it a beautiful night to kiss and make up, whether that's with an ex, a friend, your mum or your neighbour.

In this episode

• Why Pluto is the planet of detox, and definitely not the green juice kind
• The Full Moon in Taurus square Pluto, and what it's stirring up, including feeling emotionally manipulated
• Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo on October 31, and why it's motor mouth weather
• The Moon's journey through Cancer, Leo and Virgo, plus the Last Quarter Moon in Leo
• Venus retrograde in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo on November 4, and why it's ideal for reconciliation
• The Sun meeting Mercury in Scorpio on November 5, and why it all comes down to communication

Key takeaways

• This weekend, least said soonest mended. If you feel an argument brewing, put the brakes on.
• If someone is giving you a hard time, give them a wide berth or look for a win-win outcome.
• Use the waning Moon to let go of whatever's annoying you.
• November 4 is the night to shoot your shot with someone you've fallen out with. It's also a good time to ask for money you're owed.
• If a seed is planted now, it may come to fruition when Venus makes her third and final connection to Jupiter later in this retrograde cycle.
