Siren Star Report October 13th-20th
This week pulses with love, truth, and transformation. Venus enters Libra, inviting harmony, beauty, and connection into our relationships, even as Pluto turns direct, moving transformation from inner work into the world. Sparks fly midweek with trines and squares that challenge us to balance desire with discernment, optimism with reality, and courage with patience.
As Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio later in the week, the cosmos sharpen our focus and communication, pushing us to speak honestly, act decisively, and lean into what truly matters. The skies are alive with energy that’s bold, clarifying, and full of possibility. So let’s dive into it!
The week opens with Venus entering Libra on October 13th, her home sign of harmony, balance, and beauty. Venus, the planet of love, values, and connection. It all feels most at ease in Libra, encouraging cooperation, charm, and relational grace. This is a time to nurture partnerships, bring diplomacy into tense situations, and align your actions with your heart’s desires. Yet Venus immediately opposes Neptune in Aries, inviting us to discern fantasy from reality. In astrology, an opposition occurs when two planets face each other across the zodiac, creating tension and a push-pull dynamic. Here, it asks us to honor our dreams while staying grounded in truth.
Also on October 13th, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius, signaling a collective turning point. When Pluto moves from retrograde to direct, the inner transformations we’ve been working on begin to manifest outwardly. This energy encourages release, empowerment, and radical growth, often in unexpected ways.
By October 14th, Venus forms trines to Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, opening space for sudden insights, creative breakthroughs, and authentic connections. A trine is a harmonious aspect where planets are about 120° apart. That allows energy to flow easily, bringing opportunities that feel natural and effortless. These trines highlight unexpected joys, relational growth, and alignment with your deeper values.
Midweek, on October 16th, the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer, presenting a cosmic push-pull between optimism and practicality. A square occurs when planets are 90° apart, creating tension that challenges us to act. This transit may amplify overconfidence or overcommitment, reminding us to pause, evaluate, and maintain balance before moving forward.
Finally, on October 19th, Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio, intensifying communication, strategy, and focus. Mercury governs thought and speech, while Mars brings drive and action. Together in Scorpio, the energy encourages penetrating insight, honest conversations, and decisive moves, especially around matters that require emotional depth or uncovering hidden truths.
This week’s cosmic currents push us to align our hearts with our actions, speak and listen with clarity, and transform what no longer serves. It’s a blend of harmony and challenge, perfect for reflection, bold decisions, and heartfelt connections.
The Moon travels through a waning crescent all week, encouraging reflection, release, and subtle shifts. This is the final stretch of the lunar cycle, a time to tie up loose ends, meditate on the bigger picture, and prepare for the fresh intentions of the upcoming New Moon on October 21st. Even now, we can feel the subtle build-up toward renewal, as the waning crescent whispers to slow down, honor endings, and create space for what’s coming.
As the days unfold, this lunar energy gently reminds us that inner work is just as important as action. Pause, reflect, and listen to the quieter currents of your heart. It’s the perfect complement to this week’s bold Venus and Mercury movements.
Lean into: heart centered connection, honest conversations, emotional discernment, and creative breakthroughs. With Venus in Libra harmonizing and challenging our desires, this is a week to seek clarity in relationships and act from a place of authenticity.
Avoid: illusions in love or work, overextending yourself, and reactive decisions. The Neptune opposition and Sun-Jupiter square highlight where dreams may collide with reality, so pause before committing or promising too much.
Embody: the Siren who moves with grace, courage, and curiosity. The Siren who is able to speak her truth, honor boundaries, and balance bold action with reflective insight. Let your presence be magnetic, grounded in self-awareness, and open to unexpected inspiration.
This week’s Tarot Tide card is the 7 of Pentacles. A gentle reminder to pause, assess, and reflect on the seeds you’ve planted in your life. Whether in relationships, career, or personal growth, the 7 of Pentacles asks: What is bearing fruit? What needs more attention?
The energy of this card encourages patience and discernment. It’s a moment to step back from constant action, evaluate progress, and consider the next steps with clarity and intention. Combined with the week’s Venus and Mercury transits, the 7 of Pentacles highlights opportunities for refinement and alignment… not rushing forward, but nurturing what matters most.
Take this time to check your investments, both literal and energetic. Are you putting your time, energy, and love into what truly serves your long-term growth? The cosmos is asking for conscious cultivation, and the 7 of Pentacles is your guide to steady, mindful progress.

As the Moon wanes and its light softens, we’re invited into stillness. The quiet space between endings and beginnings. This week’s energy asks us to pause and prepare, to honor how far we’ve come before setting our sights on what’s next. With the 7 of Pentacles guiding our reflection, it’s the perfect moment to tend your inner garden and prepare the soil for the intentions you’ll plant under next week’s New Moon. Here is ritual to help you prepare seeds for the new moon:
Set the space: Light a candle in your favorite earthy or autumnal color… deep red, amber, or brown. Gather a small notebook or journal, a pen, and a few items that feel symbolic of growth or abundance to you (like seeds, small stones, or crystals).
Ground yourself: Take several deep breaths, feeling your body rooted to the earth. Visualize your intentions as seeds lying ready in fertile soil, waiting for care and attention.
Reflect and release: Look back on the past lunar cycle. Write down what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve learned, and anything that no longer serves you. Acknowledge these experiences, then burn the paper or rip it up and discard of the pieces to symbolize the release.
Plant your intentions: On a fresh page, write down the seeds you want to nurture for the upcoming New Moon. These can be goals, habits, creative projects, or emotional intentions. Visualize each one taking root, growing steadily, and flourishing with attention and care. (Bonus tip: plant the paper in soil to symbolize the planting of intentions)
Closing: Take a few deep breaths and imagine your intentions infused with energy and focus. Extinguish the candle with the affirmation: “I honor my growth, release the old, and plant seeds for what is yet to come.”
As the Moon fades toward darkness and we stand on the threshold of the New Moon, may this week remind you that growth often happens in the quiet spaces between effort and rest, planting and blooming. Trust the rhythm of your own timing. Your patience, reflection, and care are part of the magic unfolding beneath the surface.
