#388-"Nothing You Need Will be Lost"-Week of October 26, 2026
Sunday, 25 October, 2026
The Morning Star Rises into SamhainWe are in the deep of it now.Venus is still moving through the underworld. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio. And this week the wheel of the year turns to Samhain, the feast of the dead, the thinning veil, the moment when the ancestors draw close. This is not a week for rushing. It is a week for slowing down enough to let what is present be genuinely present.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, October 26: Sun in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius.The Conscious Self in the sign of depth meets the Transformer in direct tension. Where is power being used in ways not genuinely in service of life? Where is control masquerading as care? Sun square Pluto insists that what is true beneath the surface be named, even when naming it is uncomfortable. See clearly. Stay grounded. Do not look away.Wednesday, October 28: Venus retrograde in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries. Second opposition.The first opposition on September 10th named the wound, the body and self that has never quite believed it deserves genuine belonging. This second opposition is met by someone who has genuinely descended. Who has been stripped. Who has been to the bottom. What does the wound look like from inside the descent? Sometimes it becomes more specific, more honest, less the general story of unworthiness and more the precise places where genuine care was genuinely absent. What has the underworld clarified about this wound that the upper world could not?Thursday, October 29: Venus rises as the Morning Star at 27 degrees of Libra.She is back. Not fully, the retrograde continues through November 13th and the integration of what the underworld produced is still in process. But she is visible again, rising before the sun in the pre-dawn sky after ten days of darkness. She rises in Libra, in her home sign, carrying the grace of genuine right relation, now tempered by everything Scorpio's underworld asked of her. Go outside before dawn if you can. Look east. She is there.Friday, October 30: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo.Mercury as the truth-teller moving backward through the depths meets the creative fire in direct tension, the same square that appeared at the beginning of October, now revisited from deeper inside the interior journey. What did not get fully said the first time? What truth around genuine visibility and creative expression is asking for one more honest encounter? Mercury retrograde squares rarely bring new information. They bring the same essential question back with less room to avoid what was not yet fully faced.Samhain — Saturday October 31 and Sunday November 1: No astrological transit needed here. The wheel turns to the feast of the dead. The veil between the living and the ancestors is at its thinnest. And this year Samhain arrives in the same week as Venus's return from the underworld, the mythic field in deep coherence. What Inanna brought back from the Great Below was not only her own transformation. She brought back knowledge of her dark sister, the grief and abandoned feminine that had been locked away.At Samhain the ancestors who made their own descents are present. The ones who grieved and loved and were excluded and endured, they are at the table. And Venus, newly risen, carrying what the underworld taught her, she is at the table too.Light a candle. Set a place. Let what has been invisible be present.Reflection QuestionsAt this second Venus-Chiron opposition, what do you know about your relational wound now, from inside the descent, that you did not know before?At Samhain, whose absence do you feel most keenly — in your personal lineage, in your community, in the collective field — and what would it mean to genuinely honor that absence rather than move past it?As Venus rises as the Morning Star, what are you carrying back from your own inner descent that you want to bring consciously into the light, even before you fully understand what it is?Podcast poem: a part of Mother Wisdom Speaks by Christine Lore WebberSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.
