this weekend in the skyOct 30 – Nov 1
Halloween under a waning Moon, retrogrades tangling every exit line
Sun sits deep in Scorpio while Mercury retrogrades through it too, so the small talk in the smoking area means more than it should. Venus retrograde in Libra keeps old names circling back. Skies stay dry and clear all weekend, cold enough by Sunday to want a coat you can disappear into. The Moon wanes through Cancer into Leo, low light for a weekend built on masks and the dead. Go out, but don't confess anything you can't take back.
Watch out this weekend, Scorpio, Libra and Aries: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and Venus retrograde in Libra tangle exes, texts and plans, and Saturn retrograde in Aries stalls momentum, so confirm the guest list twice.

10 plans
Fri 30 Oct · 21:00
Surrealist Día De Los Muertos x Monopol LAB x Say No More
Nômade Temple Madrid · 48 - 75€
Dry air, clear sky, a Moon in Cancer waning past its brightest: this is the night the veil gets thin on purpose. Surrealist rites, Día de los Muertos staged like it means it. A Spectre finds the altar before anyone else does.
Gran Vía at Halloween with no rain forecast and a club that knows how to build a crowd. The waning Moon keeps things loose rather than heavy. A Catalyst lights the room before midnight even asks permission.
ARACNE 2nd Anniversary - Michel Lauriola, Viels, SPECTRAL & JOHNO
Lasociaciøn · 15 €
Second anniversary, second wind. Capricorn discipline meets Scorpio appetite under a sky thick with retrograde static. The night stays long and structured, techno built like architecture, built to hold an Anchor steady till sunrise.
Four names deep on the bill and the Moon still waning in Cancer behind the clouds that never quite rain. Rap turned ritual, bass doing the talking. A Hearth brings the group that actually dances together.
Tablao Flamenco 1911: El Tablao Más Antiguo del Mundo
Tablao Flamenco 1911
Dry, cool Friday evening, sunset gone by six. The oldest tablao in the world doesn't need Halloween to feel haunted; it already carries every dancer who's stood on that floor. A Vigil watches and understands something nobody says aloud.
No rain, no plan, just a room that makes things up as it goes. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio means nobody's words come out quite right anyway, so let improv take the blame. A Wildcard finally says the unscripted thing.
Clouds roll over Vallecas and the sun drops at 18:14, early enough for the dark to feel deliberate. A Scorpio season staple done straight: fangs, candlelight, dread you can applaud. A Spectre feels at home in every shadow on stage.
Centro Cultural Carril del Conde (Hortaleza) · free
A quiet cultural centre in Hortaleza, jazz drifting through on a cool clear evening while the Moon wanes in Cancer. Nothing flashy, just a quartet that knows the value of restraint. A Philosopher takes the whole set in without needing to say why.
Saturday brings sun by day, clear skies by night, and the Moon shifting into last quarter still in Cancer. Perreo as release valve before November locks back in. A Catalyst turns the room's nervous energy into motion.
All Saints' Day, the Moon just slipped into Leo at dawn, last quarter, sky mostly sunny and cooling fast. A night built for anthems you didn't know you still had in you. A Hearth sings every word like it's a confession.
