Mainly Moonology with Yasmin Boland

Venus is already retrograde, and this week Mercury goes retrograde too. What could possibly go wrong? Scorpio season begins, the Sun meets Venus to start a brand new 19-month Venus cycle, and the week builds to an intense Full Moon in Taurus that's clashing with Pluto. In this episode The Sun moving into Scorpio on October 23, and why this Scorpio season is extra powerful with Venus retrograde in the same sign The Sun meeting Venus on October 24: what the inferior conjunction is, why it's a reset point for love, money and values, and the myth of Inanna Mercury turning retrograde in Scorpio on October 24, so two planets are now backing up in the same sign Why Mercury retrograde has a bad reputation, what to avoid, and what it's actually good for (including Yasmin's own contract story) The Sun square Pluto on October 26, the toughest aspect of the week, and how to avoid a power struggle The Full Moon in Taurus on October 25/26: secrets, turnarounds, second chances, and why Uranus is offering a breakthrough Key takeaways On the night of October 24, journal on this question: What do I truly value now that I didn't value a year ago? Mercury retrograde isn't bad. It's a time to review, rethink, revise and revisit. Trouble mostly comes from trying to bulldoze forwards. Read the fine print on any contract at least five times, and think before you hit send on an emotional text. If you find yourself in a power struggle, look for a win-win. Pluto loves a win-win outcome. One question to sit with this week: What part of my life is asking for an honest rewrite now?

Last week was all about love. This week is asking you how committed you are. Venus is still retrograde in Scorpio, but now the heavyweights are joining in: Pluto ends its retrograde on October 16, the same day Mars trines Saturn, and the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn arrives on October 18. In this episode Pluto turning direct on October 16 at 3 degrees of Aquarius, and why a clear out is coming in one area of your life Why Pluto is a psychological planet, and what throwing out the dead wood looks like in real life Mars in Leo trine Saturn in Aries: the best astrological news of the week, bringing stamina, sticking power and courage with a plan Venus retrograde in Scorpio square Pluto on October 20: old jealousies, old power dynamics, old money wounds, and a second chance to get it right The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn and the tension between love and work A look ahead to next week, when Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio Key takeaways Pluto going direct is a green light on the inner work you've been quietly doing all year. Now is when you start to have something to show for it. Pick one goal and give it a really consistent effort this week. That's how Mars and Saturn like it. If you've made a mistake in the not so distant past, this is a good week to own it. Ask yourself: Where am I giving my power away in relationships? Where am I trying to control someone? What am I clinging to that needs to go? At the Quarter Moon, whatever you want usually needs a balance of action and faith.

Love is getting complicated this week, and the stars can't hide it. Venus is retrograde in Scorpio, she squares Mars in Leo on October 10, and on the very same day we get the New Moon in Libra. Add the Sun in Libra sextile lucky Jupiter, and it's a week of mixed signals, second chances and a real invitation to balance the old and the new, in love and in money. In this episode Why Venus retrograde in Scorpio is love at its most intense, and why old feelings, old flames and old money matters are coming back Venus retrograde and self-worth: what are you really worth, and how have you done since the last Venus retrograde 18 months ago? Venus square Mars in Leo on October 10: desire, pride, and why nobody wants to be the first to back down The Sun in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo, the best news of the week The New Moon in Libra at 17 degrees: times, keywords and why some of your wishes might involve going back Manifesting: are you living in line with what you say you want to manifest? Your questions: what not to do under Venus retrograde, which signs are feeling it most, and the benefits of this rare cycle Key takeaways Before you get into an argument, ask yourself: is this about what happened, or about how it made me feel? Make your New Moon wishes right after the New Moon: LA 8:50am October 10, New York 11:50am October 10, London 4:50pm October 10, Sydney 2:50am October 11. Avoid massive appearance changes and luxury splurges under Venus retrograde. Going back to the hairdresser who did a great job is fine. Don't go back to an ex just because you're lonely. Go back if something has genuinely changed. Use this rare cycle for a self-worth audit and a money review.

This week starts off tough, gets even tougher, and then, hopefully, ends quite well. Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio for the first time in 18 months, on the same day that Mars opposes Pluto, while Mercury squares off with both of them. Words are under pressure, and what you say now could come back to haunt you later. In this episode, Yasmin explains what's happening and how to keep your cool while the sky feels like a tinderbox. In this episode - The fixed T-square between Mercury in Scorpio, Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius on October 2, and why nobody wants to back down - Why the Mercury/Mars clash repeats on October 30 and December 9, and what that means for conversations you start now - Venus stationing retrograde at 8 degrees 29 minutes of Scorpio on October 3, and what we can learn from the last time, in 2018 - Mars opposite Pluto: power struggles around jealousy, trust, control, money and self-worth - Why Taurus, the missing sign in the T-square, provides the medicine - The Sun/Saturn reality check, Mercury meeting Venus on October 7, and a lively Mars/Uranus finish to the week Key takeaways - If you feel cornered into saying something you're not ready to say, don't say it yet. - Ask yourself, "Am I communicating, or am I just trying to win this argument?" - When tempers rise, slow it right down and ground yourself, Taurus style. - Ask, "What are we actually fighting about?" and try to get to the bottom of it. - If a conversation goes off the rails, it may not be over. Around October 7 you could get the chance to say what you wish you'd said.

Venus retrograde is coming, and in this week's episode Yasmin explains what it actually means. Venus is the planet of love, money, beauty, pleasure and self-worth, and roughly every 18 months she appears to go backwards through the sky. This time she turns retrograde in Scorpio in early October before moving back into Libra, the same two signs she retrograded in back in October and November 2018. In this episode: What Venus retrograde is, and why "reevaluate" is the key word for it Why old loves (and old friends) tend to come back when Venus goes backwards, including the story of a man who turned up at Yasmin's door asking how to win back his ex Why it's wise to hold off on big, expensive purchases chosen for their looks The Venus star, and why it's worth scrolling your photos back to October and November 2018 Why this won't be a replay of 2018: Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune have all changed signs since then This week's astrology: the Sun opposite Neptune, the Sun trine Pluto and the Sun trine Uranus on the 28th Key takeaways: Ask yourself: How much is this worth to me? Am I giving more than I'm getting? Is there a balance? Don't fear retrogrades. Venus wants harmony, and her retrograde is often about second chances. This affects everyone, not just Libras and Scorpios. Your Rising sign shows which area of your life is up for review. Be careful with big-ticket aesthetic purchases while Venus is retrograde. Your taste might be a little off. Journal on the Scorpio questions: What do I really, really want? What am I frightened of losing? Where have love and power become entangled?

This week’s astrology is one of the biggest turning points of the year. Mercury retrograde begins in Cancer, Mars enters Gemini, and Jupiter moves into Leo for the first time in more than a decade. Together, these major shifts invite us to reflect on the past, communicate differently, and prepare for an exciting new chapter. In this episode, Yasmin explains why Mercury retrograde doesn't have to be feared. Instead, it offers a chance to revisit emotional patterns, reconnect with your intuition, heal family dynamics, and move forward with greater clarity.

Looking back to 2014–2015 may reveal what's ready to expand in your life once again. Finally, Yasmin explains why the rare planetary alignments building throughout July 2026 could become one of the most significant astrological periods of the century.

This week's astrology tells a remarkably coherent story. As the Sun moves into Cancer at the June Solstice, we're invited to reconnect with what truly nourishes us. Then Venus forms a harmonious trine to Saturn, asking us to commit to what matters most. At the same time, the Sun squares Neptune, challenging us to see things as they really are rather than how we'd like them to be. Together, these energies ask one powerful question: Where in your life have you been hoping instead of deciding? In this episode, Yasmin explores why Cancer season is all about emotional security and belonging, why Venus trine Saturn may be one of the most underrated aspects in astrology, and how Neptune's influence can help us release old stories and see life more clearly. She also shares the beautiful Aramaic concept of WASHBOQLIN , a word often translated as "forgive" but which may be more accurately understood as "untie," "release," or "loosen the knot." Plus, Yasmin gives an early heads-up about the extraordinary astrology building for July 2026, which some astrologers consider one of the most important celestial configurations of the century. In this episode you'll discover: What the Sun moving into Cancer means for the collective mood Why the Solstice marks a powerful turning point in the year How Cancer season helps us reconnect with home, family and emotional wellbeing Why Venus trine Saturn is the standout aspect of the week How to make lasting progress in love, money and creative projects What the Sun square Neptune is revealing about illusion, confusion and wishful thinking How to tell whether you're seeing a situation clearly The deeper meaning of the Aramaic word WASHBOQLIN Why forgiveness is really about freeing yourself A preview of the extraordinary astrology arriving in July Details of Yasmin's upcoming workshop on the Great Shift of 2026 Resources mentioned Free Guide: Where Is the Sun Shining in Your Chart? moonextras.com Free Birth Chart moonmessages.com/freechart Moonology Diary 2027 + Workshop Registration moonologydiary.com Key Astrology Dates June 21 Sun enters Cancer The June Solstice June 25 Venus trine Saturn June 25 Sun square Neptune Memorable Quote "Where in your life have you been hoping instead of deciding?"
