Honoring Ancestors and Identity Shifts
Dear Scorpio Rising,
October begins with a surge of pressure and illumination. On October 6th, the Full Moon in Aries lands in your 6th house of work, health, and daily rhythms at 14°, throwing a bright light on the habits and responsibilities that have either kept you grounded—or left you drained. This is less about “fixing yourself” and more about becoming conscious of the rituals that truly sustain you. If something in your schedule or body feels like it no longer serves, this lunation may press the point. Think of it as a wake-up call: what patterns are you ready to release so your energy flows more freely into the life you’re actually trying to live?
By mid-month, the New Moon on October 21st arrives at the final degree of Libra in your 12th house of the subconscious, solitude, and release. Squaring Jupiter in Cancer, there’s tension here between what your inner world is craving and what your broader sense of belonging asks of you. Seeds planted in the 12th aren’t always visible at first—they sprout in dreams, in whispers, in subtle shifts of perspective. You might feel pulled between expansion outward (home, family, your larger sense of roots) and the quiet necessity of retreat inward. This is a potent chance to reset how you hold space for endings, for grief, and for the unseen parts of your psyche.
Then, on October 22nd, Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces, re-entering your 5th house of creativity, romance, and joy. This is a return to unfinished inspiration. Dreams, muses, or longings you’d drifted from could reappear, perhaps with less clarity than before but more tenderness. Neptune here isn’t asking you to define what lights you up, but to surrender to it—even if it feels vague or impractical. Old illusions around love, pleasure, or art may soften, giving way to a more compassionate vision of what joy can look like. Trust your intuition; it’s speaking in symbols and sensations more than words.
Finally, October closes with Samhain on the 31st, the cross-quarter festival marking the midpoint between fall and winter, when the veil is said to thin. For you, this moment arrives with particular depth, as the Sun is moving through Scorpio—your sign—and your 1st house of self. Samhain becomes both an ancestral threshold and a personal one. After a month of sifting through habits, hidden patterns, and reawakened desires, this day invites you to honor the threads of identity that are ready to be shed, and the ancestral echoes that continue to shape you. Stand at the doorway of what was and what’s to come, knowing that not all transformations happen in the light of day. Some require you to sit with mystery, to feel your way forward, to trust what you cannot yet name.
October, then, is about thresholds: letting go of rituals that no longer serve, recalibrating the unseen corners of your life, and daring to create from a place of mystery.
As with anything in life, take what you like and leave the rest with this horoscope.
Grateful to be in this cosmic journey alongside you,
Nadine

Full Moon in 14° Aries
October 6th, 2025, at 8:47 pm PT
The Full Moon on October 6th rises at 14° Aries, lighting up your 6th house of work, health, and daily rhythms. This isn’t just a regular Full Moon—it’s a flare across the sky that calls attention to how you move through your everyday life. Aries energy here is fiery and uncompromising, demanding you look at the routines, labors, and rituals that have either sustained or depleted you. Something about your daily patterns is coming into sharp relief: whether it’s a project that requires your full effort, a health matter that asks for care, or a confrontation with the way you’ve been overextending yourself.
At the same time, the Moon reflects onto your Libra 12th house of rest, retreat, and the unseen. It pulls you into the eternal balancing act between productivity and surrender: how do you honor your body and commitments without abandoning the quieter parts of your psyche? Aries in your 6th house asks for courage—the courage to realign your work and health practices in a way that supports vitality rather than drains it. This is not about choosing between service and solitude, but about recognizing where one has eclipsed the other.
Think of this moment as a clarifying mirror: if you’ve been running on autopilot, chasing productivity at the expense of your inner life, the imbalance may surface now. Conversely, if you’ve been retreating too far into avoidance, this Full Moon might illuminate the daily practices that could pull you back into flow. Full Moons in the 6th remind you that devotion is built on rhythm, and rhythm requires both effort and pause.
Something is ready to dissolve here—whether it’s a toxic work habit, a health pattern that no longer serves, or an old belief about what you “owe” to others. The point is not to hustle harder, but to refine the rituals that keep you steady. This Full Moon initiates a season of recalibration: balancing expansion with rest, service with soul. The sweet spot comes when your work in the world is fueled by a deeper well of inner alignment.
Here are some ways you might work with this energy:
Clarify Your Commitments
Notice which routines, jobs, or habits feel outdated. Which truly support your growth, and which are ready to be shed?Recalibrate Work and Rest
Take stock of how your schedule affects your inner world. Where might you invite more stillness or set firmer boundaries?Practice Courageous Alignment
Have the brave conversation—with yourself or with others—about what balance looks like now, not just in the past.Anchor Devotion in Rhythm
Journal or meditate on the practices that make you feel both steady and alive. Envision a daily life that sustains your spirit as much as your body.
New Moon in 28° Libra
October 21st, 2025, at 5:25 am PT
The New Moon on October 21st lands at 28° Libra, activating your 1st house of self, identity, and new beginnings. This isn’t just a regular New Moon—it’s a reset button for who you are becoming. With the Sun and Moon meeting in your sign, the spotlight turns fully onto you: how you present yourself, how you move through the world, and how you claim your space. New Moons in the 1st are invitations to step into a new version of yourself, one that feels more aligned with the life you’re creating now. Libra energy emphasizes balance and reciprocity, reminding you that selfhood isn’t selfish—it’s the ground from which all of your relationships grow.
Still, this New Moon doesn’t arrive without friction. It forms a square to Jupiter in Cancer in your 10th house of career and visibility, stirring up tension between personal growth and professional demands. Perhaps you’re ready to step into a bigger version of yourself, but the roles you’ve been playing publicly feel restrictive. Or maybe your ambitions are expanding rapidly, and your personal identity is struggling to keep up with the image others project onto you. Squares ask for honesty, and this one insists that you face where self-definition and external recognition are out of sync.
Think of this moment as a clarifying reset: harmony doesn’t mean avoiding conflict, it means telling the truth about who you are and letting your commitments shift to match. You don’t need to contort yourself to maintain an image in the world, nor do you need to sacrifice your career for the sake of peace. The work here is integration: planting seeds for a selfhood that is both authentic and expansive, a version of you that can hold both your inner needs and your outer aspirations.
This New Moon reminds you that identity is an act of choice. What you set in motion now—whether it’s a change in how you present yourself, a redefinition of your role in the world, or a commitment to honor your personal truth—will ripple outward, shaping not just your relationships but also your future path. The invitation is to claim your independence without losing your sense of harmony, to embody a self that feels rooted, clear, and capable of expansion.
Here are some ways you might work with this energy:
Redefine Selfhood
Reflect on who you are becoming. What parts of your identity feel authentic, and what’s ready to be shed?Align Inner and Outer Life
Notice where your career or public image supports your growth—or pulls you away from your truth. What needs recalibration?Balance Independence with Visibility
Pay attention to where your need for authenticity bumps up against the expectations of others. How can you honor both?Plant Supportive Seeds
Set intentions for the version of yourself you want to embody. Choose a self-image that sustains your future, not one that confines it.

Samhain Cross Quarter
On October 31st, the wheel of the year turns at Samhain, the cross-quarter point that marks the threshold between fall and winter. For you, this day always carries particular weight, because Samhain coincides with the Sun’s yearly passage through Scorpio and your 1st house of identity. It’s never just a seasonal festival—it’s a mirror held up to the ways you embody yourself, the roles you’ve outgrown, and the versions of you that are ready to be shed.
The 1st house is the realm of becoming. It governs your physical presence, your self-image, and the way you move through the world. With the Sun illuminating this terrain, Samhain becomes a portal into your personal underworld: what masks or armors have you outworn? What stories about who you “must be” deserve to be honored for what they’ve taught you—and then laid to rest? And what longings are ready to be expressed through a truer, more liberated self?
For you, Scorpio Rising, this season is not about hiding behind survival instincts or old defenses. It’s about reclaiming your right to be seen, felt, and known as you are now. Samhain calls you to look directly at the contracts you’ve made with your own identity. Where are you still dimming your presence for the comfort of others? Where do patterns of self-editing or self-protection keep you captive? The 1st house teaches that endings here aren’t about losing yourself but about ending the disguises that obscure your essence. They’re thresholds into a clearer, more authentic expression of you.
There’s also a soulful invitation here. The 1st house is where your story begins, and during Samhain, that beginning becomes alchemical. True selfhood requires vulnerability: the courage to face where you’ve muted your vitality, and to extend compassion to the parts of yourself that still long to be witnessed. Scorpio season reminds you that transformation doesn’t just happen in the hidden corners—it happens through your willingness to emerge, to be seen in your power, to live unarmored.
This Samhain, your power lies in ritualizing release and renewal through identity itself. Honor the versions of you that brought you this far. Grieve and let go of the self-images that keep you small, hidden, or locked in survival. Name aloud the cycles of self-doubt you no longer wish to carry forward. In doing so, you align with the rhythm of your chart, one that always asks Scorpio Rising to remember: transformation isn’t just an inner process—it’s the sacred act of becoming who you truly are.
Ways to honor this passage:
Tend to Rituals of Presence
Mark this day by affirming your vitality—move your body, wear something that makes you feel powerful, or adorn yourself as an act of devotion.Release Old Selves
Write down the identities or roles that no longer fit. Burn or bury them as an act of release.Recommit to Becoming
Ask yourself: who am I ready to grow into now? Set intentions for a self-image that sustains and inspires your future.Make Selfhood Sacred Again
Choose one practice that affirms your authenticity. Treat your presence as holy, a living ritual of transformation.
