Your Weekly Horoscope Brings A Full Moon & The End Of Mercury Retrograde

Are you ready for your weekly horoscope for October 18-24 2021? This Friday marks our grand entrance into Spooky Season2 (otherwise known as Scorpio season). If your home still lacks the terrifying trimmings of Halloween, there’s still time to deck the haunted halls and carve a pumpkin or two! But Friday’s a few days away, and there’s more good news before then, namely the end of Mercury retrograde on Monday!

Fortunately for us, this Mercury retrograde is the very last one of the year, so we need not fear for another until mid-January. (I’ll refrain from discussing the dreaded Venus retrograde in December. We’ll cross that bridge when we reach it.) But wait, there’s more!
