🔭 Major Astronomical & Planetary Events: October 20–26, 2025

Written by Mia Astrology

Dear friend, this week feels like a bridge. We’re crossing from the emotional tides of last week into new terrain. Comet Lemmon gains subtle strength, the Moon shines in softness then steadiness, and Venus edges lower in dawn skies, asking us to learn from the waning beauty. It’s not a stormy week—but a week of translation, recalibration, and soul punctuation. Let me walk you through it.

🪐 Planetary Shifts & Movements

☉ Sun in Scorpio — Ongoing
 The Sun remains in Scorpio’s depths, pushing you to choose authenticity over surface comfort. Secrets and courage are both themes this week.

• Retrogrades Still Underway
• Saturn Rx (Pisces): gentle insistence on boundaries.
• Neptune Rx (Pisces): intuition sharpened, illusions thinning.
• Uranus Rx (Gemini): internal shifts, curious sparks.
• Pluto Direct (Aquarius): big change loosening its grip on the underground.

💫 Intuitive note: When something feels unsettled in your relationships or direction, it may be a retrograde revisiting an old wound — not a new one.

🌌 Night Sky Events

☄️ Comet Lemmon Approaches
 Over these days, Comet Lemmon edges deeper into visibility. Under darker skies, binoculars might reveal its faint tail emerging. It’s still subtle, but it’s getting closer.

💫 Intuitive message: This comet is like a long-dormant dream coming home. If you’ve felt something misplaced in your heart, you may sense it returning now.

🌠 Draconid Fireball Potential — Oct 21–22
 While the major Draconid peak is earlier in October, there’s often residual fireball activity around Oct 21–22. If you’re awake late, scan the sky. A single, bright fireball can feel like a soul-message.

💫 Message: When the sky flares, something held deep within might suddenly become undeniable. Pay attention.

🌙 Moon Movement

• Oct 20–22: Waning Moon in Virgo — tidy, repair, heal with detail.
•  Oct 23–25: Moon in Libra — diplomacy, relationships, healing through connection.
• Oct 26: Moon enters Scorpio — intuitive, deep, revealing.

🕯️ Tip: Align your emotional work with the Moon’s movement. Clean when Virgo, make amends under Libra, dive inward in Scorpio.

🌟 How to Ride These Energies

• Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): The Scorpion Sun pushes you to stand in your shadow and declare your desires. Use the Libra Moon to repair anything broken.
• Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Virgo Moon early in the week helps you ground. Comet glimpses remind you that dreams don’t need to shout to be real.
• Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): You’ll feel potent especially around the Libra Moon for connection and reconciliation—say what you mean, meaningfully.
• Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Venus fading lower, lingering in the dawn, speaks to impermanence. Let go of what’s meant to be gentle release.
