Let the Pumpkin Lean | October 26–November 1
[00:00:00] Hi, loves. I'm Dahlia Kent, author of Inviting Him In: A Spiritual Practice of Receiving, and this is your celestial forecast for the week of Monday, October 26th.
[00:00:11] Y'all, Halloween's Saturday, and I need to get ahead of something. People want a big, round, glowing moon on Halloween night. I know you do. The full moon actually peaked late Saturday night, early Monday for some of you. By Halloween, you've got a waning moon at about two-thirds on its way down. Still beautiful, just no longer making an entrance. And that's the actual mood of the week. Mercury went retrograde Saturday in Scorpio, which is the least casual place it goes. so something peaked, something got obvious, and now every message you send about it is gonna read three different ways depending on who's already mad.
[00:00:50] One rule for every sign, reread before you react twice.
[00:00:56] Let's get into it
[00:00:58] Aries, somebody's [00:01:00] gonna do something on Halloween that's clearly aimed at getting a rise out of you. A comment, a costume, a remark about last year. You'll clock it immediately because you always do. A reaction in a room full of people is a gift you hand somebody for free.
[00:01:16] Let it sit till Sunday. If it still matters Sunday, it was real. If it doesn't, you just saved yourself a weekend
[00:01:24] Taurus, that full moon was in your sign and over the weekend something got very clear. A need, a cost, something you've tolerated because changing it looked harder than living with it. This week, the urgency comes down a little.
[00:01:39] Do not mistake quieter for untrue. Write down what becomes obvious Sunday night. One sentence. Don't act on it yet. And don't talk yourself out of it either
[00:01:50] Gemini, something you said, typed, or thought was finished may have come back this week with somebody else's interpretation attached. Do [00:02:00] not defend the old version word for word.
[00:02:02] You're allowed to say, That's not where I am now, and then stop. The more you explain the old message, the more alive it gets. You don't have to spend the whole week acting as a legal counsel for something you said six months ago.
[00:02:16] Cancer, Saturday night, Halloween, you're gonna end up holding everything, the bags, the discarded costume piece, the jacket somebody swore they wouldn't need, And at some point, somebody's gonna hand you their whole situation and say, "You're just so good with them."
[00:02:34] You are good with them. They also wanted their hands free. So when somebody hands you a bag Saturday, hand it back and say, "Can you carry this?
[00:02:43] My hands are full." Your hands are always full. This week, somebody gets to hear it out loud
[00:02:50] Leo, you're gonna get dressed for Halloween and there'll be a fork in the road.
[00:02:54] You can dress to win to be the best looking person in a room that happens to one up [00:03:00] that person that you keep score against. Or you can get dressed for the version of yourself you actually like. The one who catches herself in a mirror and thinks,
[00:03:09] well, hello." Pick that one, Then go be looked at, Leo, and enjoy every second of it.
[00:03:16] You've earned a night of being the most interesting thing in the room
[00:03:20] Virgo, you're the reason Saturday's going to function. The costume that fits, the candy bought before the good kind sold out, the route, the backup route, the message starts, "Just so everybody knows the timing."
[00:03:33] Nobody thanks the person who prevents the disaster Because nobody ever sees the disaster that didn't happen. So hear it from me.
[00:03:42] It works because you handled it. Now let one thing be a mess. Let the pumpkin lean
[00:03:49] libra, someone on your street is gonna make Halloween look extremely well-funded. The amber lights are professionally spaced. The pumpkins have no visible [00:04:00] flaws. And they're giving away full-size candy like they recently came into money, and you're gonna tell yourself you're simply appreciating the effort, and then you'll spend 40 minutes moving one lantern six inches to the left. Libra, your eye for beauty is real. So is the part of you that would like the neighbors to notice you have one. Make the porch feel good when you come home to it.
[00:04:22] That's the audience that matters
[00:04:24] Scorpio, the sun's in your sign, so everything you usually keep to yourself is getting harder to ignore. Somebody from the past may surface. A conversation you called finished may prove otherwise. You've got two honest options. Reopen it on purpose or stop checking whether it's still there. What you've been doing is keeping it technically over and emotionally available,
[00:04:50] And that costs more than either real choice
[00:04:53] sagittarius,
[00:04:54] You've said yes to too many things this weekend because an empty Saturday looks suspicious. A [00:05:00] party, a second party, a just stop by, something involving a hayride that already sounds longer than advertised. Pick one. Go all the way in on it.
[00:05:11] Sag, one quiet night doesn't mean your life got smaller.
[00:05:15] It just means nobody needs anything from you for three hours
[00:05:19] Capricorn, everybody else is gonna be having fun on Saturday, and you're gonna find a job. The candy bowl needs managing. The driveway needs watching. Notice that the job appeared the exact same moment the fun did? You reach for a task when a room asks you just to be in it because a task has a finish line and a Saturday night does not. Put it down for three hours. Stand in your own yard with nothing to accomplish. That's the harder job, which is why I gave it to you.
[00:05:51] Aquarius, an invitation may show up this week from people whose approval once mattered a great deal to you. Before you [00:06:00] say yes, ask something honest.
[00:06:03] Do you want the people or do you enjoy finally being invited? Those are different pleasures, and only one of them makes for a good evening.
[00:06:11] Just don't attend a party for the satisfaction of proving you no longer need to be there.
[00:06:17] That's still needing to be there
[00:06:19] Pisces, somebody's gonna tell you something mystical this week. A sign, a number, a message from the universe that fits your life so beautifully you'll wanna rearrange the furniture around it. Before you do anything, ask where they heard it.
[00:06:35] The feeling may be real, the meaning may still need checking. Because the veil is thin, and sometimes it's just that you skipped lunch and walked past somebody wearing your mother's perfume. And well, that's your week. Somebody's handing the bag back. Somebody's letting the pumpkin lean, and somebody's standing in their own yard on Saturday night with absolutely nothing to accomplish.
[00:06:58] Remember to reread [00:07:00] before you react twice. Happy Halloween, everybody. I'm Dahlia Kent. Follow the week wherever you listen. I'll be back next Monday. Until then, have a great week. Love you guys.
