Moon Mood Report, October 19–25, 2026: Scorpio Season & Mercury Retrograde

Scorpio season begins Friday, October 23; Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio Saturday, October 24; and retrograde Venus returns to Libra Sunday, October 25. The Moon moves through Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries before entering Taurus Sunday evening. This week’s Moon Mood Report offers daily Energy, Self-Care, and Teen Vibe guidance for noticing feelings, clearing up misunderstandings, and choosing a different response.

This week brings lots of shifts in the astrology.

The Sun enters Scorpio on Friday, bringing our attention to feelings we may have pushed aside. Notice what keeps coming up.

Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday. If you’ve been around long enough, you know we use this time to pause, review and understand each other better.

You and your teen may hear the same words but respond to them differently. A reaction may come from a misunderstanding. Taking time to hear each other out can help you see where the confusion started.

Once you understand the energy at play, you can choose a different response. Clear up the plan, say what you need, or try the conversation again.

We still have Venus retrograde. Venus returns to Libra on Sunday, but not before she sits in the heart of the Sun at 0° Scorpio. Venus connects with relationships, values, and what we enjoy. Think about something you used to love and consider if it still lights you up.

Consider:

Is something bothering you?

Do you wish to have more open conversations?

Are you stuck in fear of letting something go?

Energy: Independent, thoughtful, open to a different approach.

Self-Care: Question one “should” that’s making your day harder.

Teen Vibe: A new interest or strong opinion may be part of figuring out who they are. Ask what they like about it before sharing your view.

Energy: Social, curious, wanting room to be yourself.

Self-Care: Give yourself ten minutes to explore something that interests you outside of family life.

Teen Vibe: Fitting in may matter even when they insist they don’t care. Let them talk about their friends without ranking or comparing them.

Energy: Soft, sensitive, easily distracted.

Self-Care: Turn off the background noise for a few minutes.

Teen Vibe: After a busy school day, even a small request may feel like one thing too many. Give one clear next step instead of the whole list.

Energy: Imaginative, tender, drawn to meaning.

Self-Care: Enjoy a little music or creativity without needing to make anything useful.

Teen Vibe: A song or story may help them share something they can’t quite explain. Let them show you without asking for a deeper meaning.

Energy: A gentle start, with more spark later.

Self-Care: Save a little energy for something you want to do tonight.

Teen Vibe: Restlessness may show up as picking an argument. An activity they enjoy can give that energy somewhere else to go.

Energy: Direct, active, ready to get going.

Self-Care: Take a brisk walk before tackling a frustrating task.

Teen Vibe: Their frustration may pass faster than yours. You can welcome a fresh start and still return to anything that needs repair.

Energy: Restless early, a bit fiery too.

Self-Care: Choose a stopping time for weekend chores and let it be enough.

Teen Vibe: They may want a say in how they prepare for the week. Allow them to choose the order.

There’s room to learn something new about each other during this week, even during a familiar conversation.

Blessings,

Kristin

The Moon is in Aquarius at the start of the week, Pisces from Wednesday morning, Aries from Friday afternoon, and Taurus from Sunday evening. All times below are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Friday’s daily guidance highlights the afternoon Aries shift. Sunday’s guidance reflects the daytime Aries Moon.

Timing sources: October astrology calendar, Sun’s entry into Scorpio and Venus conjunction, and Venus’s return to Libra.

In Eastern Daylight Time, the Taurus Full Moon peaks Monday, October 26, at 12:12 a.m., just after this report ends. The Moon enters Taurus the evening before, on October 25 at 7:34 p.m. Entering Taurus and reaching the Full Moon are two different events.

This phrase describes Venus meeting the Sun at the same zodiac position, called a conjunction. This week, the meeting occurs at 0°45′ Scorpio late Friday, October 23. In this report, it offers a prompt to reflect on relationships, values, and what you enjoy.

Use the daily lines as prompts for noticing patterns. Energy names a possible mood, Self-Care offers something for Mom, and Teen Vibe suggests a need that may sit beneath a reaction. Your teen’s actual experience matters more than matching a forecast.
