Welcome to your Stars
October 15 to 21, 2026
Many astrologers saw Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, fully there from November 2024, as a time when the collective consciousness would blaze into new being, bringing shared inherent light and spiritual powers to be, and truly manifest the Age of Aquarius.
However, earlier or more ancient astrology spoke of how there could be a bitter struggle by the old powers to prevent this and maintain even more control. As Leo, Aquarius’ opposite sign, is also raised with it.
Furthermore, it’s said this Aquarius-Leo axis brings similar challenges to the Leo-Aquarius axis under which Atlantis fell. (Remember the, said to be prophetic, Sphinx has a human head and a Lion’s body.) That now humanity can redo and reset or buckle, again, under toxic oligarch and other oppressive forces.
Staying centred in your own consciousness, and thus closer to the Source, is what makes it the former. Lighting your way and adding to the crucial Light quotient in our shared reality.
The Moon’s Nodal shift into Aquarius-Leo at the end of July has accelerated this process. Perhaps seen in how existential ‘threats’ or deeply corrupt behaviour seemingly increasingly try to darken our horizons.
I’ve given you this background as mighty Pluto directing in Aquarius on Friday, colouring all of these days, could further intensify this profound evolutionary crossroads in time that we’re at.
By maintaining your consciousness, awareness and focus, your efforts crucially resound into this world, and the next. And Pluto’s directing symbol, ‘A HINDU YOGI DEMONSTRATES HIS HEALING POWERS’, can then better spark into life.
To summarize these coming days:
Sun sextile Jupiter can reward right effort Thursday.
Directing Pluto can depth-charge Friday.
The weekend’s Capricorn Moon can assist powers of organization and applied intelligence to make important progress in life and aims.
However, warning flags fly Monday to Wednesday as retrograde Venus squares Pluto. Fate and destiny can swirl, perhaps deepening the themes of our earlier discussion. Now it’s even more important to remain mindful to better your life and that of others. Nihilism or power struggles only hasten destructive outcomes. Awareness and clarity deepen your mastery and wisdom.
Thought for the Times
“Think as though your thoughts were written on the sky in fire. For in truth they are.”
Rumi
ARIES: Directing Pluto can powerfully influence the trajectory of your ambitions and the potency of your interactions. Certainly, these could be life changing days. Practicing safety and wise money-management as well as sensible relations with others is what pays, starting Thursday. Be doubly careful Friday. The aware Ram makes gainful progress over the weekend. But alarms blare Monday to Wednesday. Heeding the above advice avoids undesirable developments and keeps you on course.
TAURUS: Pluto directing at the top of your Chart can signal new breakthroughs on your life path or blocks and ego battles. Acting thoughtfully and sensibly transcends trouble, making it the former, as Thursday proves. Friday could be doubly intense. Be doubly careful. The mindful Bull meets with success and kudos over the weekend. But relationships and ambitions are even more potently poised Monday to Wednesday. Watching your step avoids igniting trouble.
GEMINI: Directing Pluto can light your path and bring excellent or desired developments to come to pass for the thinking Twin, starting Thursday. Being calm and clear helps more light break through Friday. Applying yourself constructively makes further gains over the weekend. But none of this happens for those stuck in old patterns. And circumstances could worsen Monday to Wednesday. The informed and intelligent Gemini, however, knows tending all sensibly pays.
CANCER: Your big money and deep issues zone under directing Pluto’s rays can signify renewed prosperity, healing or improving life prospects. But balancing karmic and financial accounts is essential. Paying mind to this, however, sure pays, as Thursday proves. Any tests are then successfully passed Friday, and relationships sparkle over the weekend. Venus square Pluto, however, intensifies matters Monday to Wednesday. Beware carelessness or karma dramas. Wisdom turns important corners.
LEO: Pluto directing in your relationship and interaction zone sure stirs up the karma and destiny wattage here. Understanding it’s important to pay mind to relations with others makes life move forward positively, negating negative deadlocks, as Thursday illustrates. Remaining focused Friday teaches you much. You can get things done over the weekend. But Venus squaring Pluto from Monday to Wednesday increases life’s potency. Watching your words and ways avoids pratfalls.
VIRGO: Maybe work, wellbeing or even daily life have required significant attention recently. If you’ve given it, directing Pluto can begin registering positive transformations, beginning Thursday. If you haven’t, then you’d better start. Friday’s challenging potency is then better channelled into positive pivots, not problems. La Luna can light your unique charms and magic with others over the weekend. Employing diplomacy and wisdom thwarts dismal developments Monday to Wednesday, greatly improving results.
LIBRA: Being REALLY aware, especially re children, loved ones and your personality expression, captures directing Pluto’s power in a powerfully productive, not problematic, way. As this Thursday demonstrates, and makes Friday work much better. Family and general fortunes are then favoured over the weekend. But life and money-management require even greater mindfulness Monday to Wednesday. Beware bad vibes, negative manoeuvres or destructive attitudes costing you emotionally or financially. Considered action transcends trouble.
SCORPIO: Your mighty ruler Pluto directing can bring ancestry, family or residence matters into new light. If you’ve been paying right attention to them, this can accelerate positive and desired developments here and generally, as Thursday shows. Continuing wisely helps Friday’s potency add positive momentum, not disruptions. Your wits and charisma work well over the weekend. But sirens sound Monday to Wednesday. Navigate carefully to avoid sudden storms sinking your chances.
SAGITTARIUS: Directing Pluto could increase life’s tempo and also perhaps clarify some deep issues you’ve been dealing with. But remaining present to the moment and positively proactive is necessary to successfully catch this wave. Thursday illustrates how doing so pays and will keep you on course under Friday’s intensity. Worthwhile effort proves rewarding over the weekend. However, Monday to Wednesday could be destabilizing. Not if you’re watching wellbeing and travelling carefully!
CAPRICORN: Pluto directing in your money, resources and confidence zone can introduce new prosperous life solutions. However, the canny Goat’s applied wisdom is necessary for these rewarding results, not getting caught short. Karmic and financial account attention introduces this life improving emphasis, starting Thursday. Friday’s power then works for you. Capricorn La Luna can light your charms and way over the weekend. Monday to Wednesday, however, require great caution, especially re others and assets.
AQUARIUS: Pluto directing in Aquarius is a big deal -maybe even life-changing! How this all plays out depends on how you play your cards. Employing that cosmic consciousness is what gives you a winning hand, as Thursday proves. Friday could feel intense. Wisdom wins, again. Not pushing yourself over the weekend gets more done. But Monday to Wednesday could be a minefield. By checking by your behaviour and moves twice, dangerous missteps are avoided.
PISCES: Awareness that Pluto is directing in your soul or subconscious zone means any old skeletons or guilts stirred are soon dispersed and more spiritual and rewarding light shines, as Thursday and Friday demonstrate. Being safety and wellbeing minded pays too. Your people skills and unique abilities can prosper under La Luna’s magic over the weekend. But sirens blare Monday to Wednesday. Remaining focused and calm avoids triggering traps or trouble with others.
