Spooky season takes on a whole different meaning when it takes place during Mercury retrograde. This strange transit has been pulling skeletons out of your closet and bringing you face to face with ghosts from your past. Your October 26, 2020 weekly horoscope has a few haunting tricks up its sleeve, but don't worry, there's plenty of dark romance and mystical beauty to go around.

Prepare for Mercury retrograde to start spewing out strange gossip and create confusion in your social life when it reenters partnership-oriented cardinal air sign Libra on Oct. 27, taking you even further back in time. This shift will surely intensify the limitations and complications of Mercury retrograde, especially when it forms a square with restrictive and karmic Saturn on Nov. 1, starting the new month off on an intense and repressive note. This could create feelings of disconnect and disappointment, so when these feelings crop up, try to remember they're temporary.

Luckily, things can't be so bad for your love life and your social life when Venus — planet of affection and luxury — enters its home sign of Libra on Oct. 27. Venus loves being in Libra. This benefic planet loves the charming and flirtatious flair of Libra, its ability to create harmony in the midst of chaos, to find the beautiful in the ugly, and to keep things lighthearted. Although this Venus in Libra transit will be a bit of a roller coaster ride, there's no way you'll be able to deny the soft magic behind it all.

Last but not least, the month of October wraps up on a devilishly spooktastic note. A full blue moon in Taurus takes place on Oct. 31 at 10:49 a.m. ET, making this a Halloween marked by heightened spirituality, emotional intensity, and plenty of eye-opening revelations. All full moons are marked by surprises, but this particular full moon might just throw you for a major loop, as it forms an exact conjunction with erratic and unpredictable Uranus. Your desire to turn up the shock factor, rage against societal norms, and create mischief just for the sake of spicing things up will be stronger than ever. This Halloween, expect the unexpected.
