All of the parts of us. The unclaimed parts. The parts we are afraid of. The ‘difficult’ parts. Calling them home. Whispering sweet love to them. This is the only way we can face the ‘problems’. Problems are only attracted to the bits we have hidden and swept under the carpet.
Low vibrations. Heavy energy. What are they clinging to? I’m always the first to freeze in that moment, in that question. Then I remember I need to find love, I need to find tenderness for them. Befriend your demons. It’s the only way to gently sweep them off.
Scorpio/ pluto energy. And breathe. And love. There’s a lot of love - use it, find it, let it in.

Venus has now disappeared as Morning Star into the Sun's light, far from Earth. We are drawn inexorably inward, to discover our deeper light within and to embrace the shadows that can bring - a sense of disconnection from those we love & our ultimate aloneness.

Venus is currently in Scorpio, the water sign of deep interiority. With Mercury Rx also travelling retrograde back towards Scorpio (in Scorpio 7-29 October, then 18 November to 12 December) this year's Scorpio season has an extended and deep focus.

Black Moon Lilith is also in Scorpio, especially potent at this New Moon in Scorpio on 20th. As Soul Mother, Lilith points to gems hidden within the underworld. Clues lie within what you might most reject, judge or resist, especially about yourself.

Key: exploring underlying motivations, perception/instinct as guides, honouring your staying power & resourcefulness in the face of intensity, uncovering deeper emotional honesty as a key to presence.

The Sun will conjunct Venus on 6 January 2026 at 15 Capricorn, ushering in the new themes for Venus Rebirth & new Evening Star phase starting 1 March. This growing underworld period mirrors the theme of other current planetary retrogrades... seemingly backwards, yet actually into integration of embodied presence. Stay with it.. something powerfully new is gestating within you.

*Virgo Moon square Mercury Rx in Sagittarius (5 deg)
*Moon square Mars in Sagittarius (6 deg)
*Moon sextile Venus in Scorpio (8 deg)

Moon square Mercury Rx and Mars can trigger anxiety and arguments over what's correct vs what's believed. Aggressively doubling down on an idea/story/sales pitch will stir up resistance as certain details are challenged. Or, sticking with specific solutions in the face of an assertive review/question will create pushy insistence to change. Getting drawn into conflict over who's right/what's true will only accentuate the clashing realities. And amplify the anxiety.

The Moon's sextile to Venus suggests deeper acceptance and harmony are the way to go. Underneath the facts and big words and aggravation is a quiet certainty about what's wanted, loved, valued. If you stop talking and trying to make corrections and just be still for a few moments, you'll feel the harmony between wants and needs- the profound connection with someone that is perfect in that moment. The soundless embrace of all that's dark and intense. And in that embrace are the tools to make things just right.

*Third Quarter Leo Moon (20 deg)
*Mercury Rx in Sagittarius conjunct Mars (6 deg)

The Last Quarter Moon (square the Scorpio Sun) draws attention to the light where secrets and shadows dominate. The moment is heavy with intensity, but there's a spark of joy and self-expression in the background. It may seem sacrilegious to celebrate or create or go public, but you're feeling the tension between light and shadow for a reason. Don't ignore the growing need for recognition or play. Don't let the darkness s***f out your flame. You're meant to question why you "can't" shine or smile right now. Why must you remain hidden?

Mercury Rx/Mars adds considered initiative to the above. Questions and reviews are energized as you act on them. Perhaps a message from the past triggers a desire for risk or freedom. Or, that second look convinces you to go for it (finally). But you still have to be careful (this is Mercury retrograde after all) - look closely at the truth/details behind the story and then do your thing. Take delays into account- you still won't be able to move as quickly as you'd like, even though action is called for.

This is not random, impulsive energy - you're insisting on something specific and backing it up with passionate effort.

Physicists in Copenhagen have observed a phenomenon that seems to bend time itself. Experiments show that particles can change their past state depending on how researchers measure them in the future. This paradox, known as retrocausality, suggests that cause and effect may not always flow forward.

In the experiment, a photon traveled through a set of detectors. The decision of how to measure it was made later, yet that choice influenced the photon’s earlier state. It’s as if the universe anticipates the choice and adjusts history accordingly. Scientists describe this using quantum superposition: until a decision is made, the past remains undefined. Once a choice occurs, the past seems to “fill in” to match it.

This challenges our everyday understanding of time. Particles do not separate past and future; they exist in a state where all moments are connected. If retrocausality is real, then every decision we make might be shaping history itself, not just responding to it.

Skeptics remain cautious, but the findings open the door to one of the strangest possibilities in physics: the past is not fixed until we decide what it will be.
