A difficult astrological week that begins with a tense Taurus Full Moon should begin to ease for three zodiac signs, with conditions improving by November 1, according to astrologer Leslie Hale of YourTango. Hale, who is described as a professional astrologer with more than 30 years of experience, writes that the Full Moon's ruler Venus is retrograde and that the Moon forms a T-square with the Sun in Scorpio and Pluto in Aquarius. That configuration places people between what they want, what a partner wants and what their job demands, creating pressure that could reach a boiling point. She advises staying grounded and focused, noting that clear judgment is harder to come by this week and that Mercury's retrograde makes emotional responses likely to worsen matters.
Taurus is told the hardest days come first, after which life improves considerably, especially because the Full Moon occurred in that sign. Hale recommends rest and deep self-care for Taurus. She also cautions against letting ego lead at the start of the week, suggesting detached conversations with others to keep situations from getting out of control.
For Scorpio, the Sun is in that sign and directly opposite Monday's Full Moon, and because the Sun and Moon form a T-square with Pluto, the first few days look stressful on the work front. Hale writes that burnout would not be surprising and that the pressure could spread into other areas of life, where how it is handled may have lasting consequences. Since the Sun rules the ego, she advises against pride and recommends staying calm and answering questions directly.
Libra sees its ruling planet, the Sun, challenged by Pluto and the Moon in Taurus, which Hale says could create a contentious situation with a partner, whether personal or professional. She describes the T-square as having the potential to destroy or transform, and says transformation should be the aim if a relationship is worth keeping, with honest and open conversation as the only route there. Disarming the ego and protecting one's energy and peace are presented as ways to handle whatever arises.
Hale also links Pluto to transformation, noting that while the planet may bring destruction at times, it always brings rebirth, so life improves when change or endings are accepted rather than resisted. She advises lowering expectations of other people this week, since both Venus and Mercury are retrograde and high expectations will simply lead to disappointment. Finding somewhere to relax without outside interference and demands is her closing recommendation. According to the article, the rough opening days give way to noticeable improvement for these three signs by November 1.
