October brings an interesting twist to our 8th house matters as we see Mercury heading into these topics followed by the Sun getting us to show up for them but while Venus starts her Retrograde asking us to slow down and go back over something to figure it out.
So, 8th house matters are about all financial topics other than income, so we may have a lot to work out with loans, inheritance, bankruptcy, insurance, taxes, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, commissions, a partner’s money, or some other financial interest. The 8th house also rules our sex lives, any reproductive or hormonal needs, divorce, death, birth, and triangles between people. So, Mercury will open up talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, or bring siblings, neighbors, vehicles, or electronics into the story from the 9th onward. The Sun will start urging us to show up and get more personally or physically involved with these topics from the 23rd onward, making it more about our own needs or involvement. But Venus from the 5th onward will ask us to slow down and review, release, rekindle, or rework the love, income, women, or beauty needs in the mix. So, you may go back to an old love to rekindle the sex or let go of a current one over reproductive issues or divorce, or you may find an old investor who can help you with earnings or there could be some other combination of the above, take your time, this unwinds through part of November.
Relationships are also front and center this month with a New Moon on the 8th opening up a 2-week window that can give momentum to our actions with partners, clients, specialists, competitors, opponents, agents, attorneys, or advocates. It’s possible to start a brand-new relationship, start a new interest with a current relationship or take a current relationship to the next level so look at the list above and choose whom you would like to further your interests with and then be proactive. Now, having said this, the Venus Retrograde will enter this relationship territory on the very last day of the month, on Halloween, Oct 31st. So, we start to slow down when it comes to love or income with these people or what is focused on women or beauty interests with them. We return to past people or situations about it, we release current ones, or we rework what is going on in current relationships to get it right. This will take us into November with a do-over involving these key players.
We have a Full Moon on the 24th in Taurus which is about things climaxing with income, purchases, possessions, or products. We may be wrapping up an income project or ending an income scenario or we may be celebrating landing that income situation or achieving an income goal we set for ourselves. The same is true with purchases, we could be wrapping up a purchase or getting rid of some of our possessions or celebrating a really good buy, you get the idea, we are seeing things culminate in these areas.
Finally, this may not influence much of the month but on the 31st Mercury heads into Sagittarius where he’ll tour into November until the 16th and then Retrograde. This means, all in all, we won’t be finished with Mercury’s focus on Sagittarius until the New Year when he leaves the sign in Direct motion so pay attention to the news, ideas, talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, offers, or decisions coming to mind or coming through about travel, people at a distance, relocation, legal matters, educational pursuits, media interests, marketing, ceremonies, religion, or politics, we’ll be in flux with it for a while. Also, heads up, since this Retrograde will be in play over Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s this year, if you are planning to fly you may wish to purchase tickets in the first 3 weeks of October before the Shadow of the Retrograde kicks in, in hopes of avoiding some of the mishaps, malfunctions, mix-ups, and transportation issues associated with Mercury Retrograde, this time in the sign of travel.

Hear what’s coming in the OCTOBER MONTHLY BROADCAST http://healthylife.net/RadioShow/archiveZM.htm”>HEAR
ARIES:
October may be the month that brings that past love interest back around for some steamy do-over or it may be when you are ready to let go of a love relationship that is no longer feeling connected on an intimate level. You may decide to rekindle the flames of a current love relationship by returning to some sexy spot you enjoyed in the past or you may just slow down on all of it to review what you want. This is a major theme that runs side by side with a do-over in any financial arenas you may have that could be equally important for you. Look at loans, inheritance, bankruptcy, insurance, taxes, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or other financial matters and where you are with your personal income needs. This 8th house of sex and finances can also mean looking at divorce or mortality issues this month for some of you, regardless of which one of these topics takes you forward, backward and all around, it’s going to be interesting. Mercury is here opening up talks and meetings, helping you with agreements and sales, writing and interviews, or offers and decisions about it. Mercury may bring siblings or neighbors into the equation or ask that you focus that financial need on vehicles or electronics. This begins on the 9th onward. The Sun joins in on the 23rd onward which will be your cue to show up and start getting more personally or physically involved in these sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or financial matters moving forward. Overlaying all of this is the Venus Retrograde which starts on the 5th and will slow you down in seeking anything new and rather get you to revisit past people or situations about it or to let go of a current scenario or to rework one, so you have a do-over going on that involves Venus themes; love, income, women, or beauty interests in the mix. You’ll be working on this through November back and forth so pace yourself and be open to what comes back around, what exits and what is revived.
You are also getting a nice boost from the cosmos in October with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other relationships starting on the 8th. You’ll have 2 weeks of energy helping to propel you into something new or next level with new or current relationships so be proactive about what you want. Venus will take her Retrograde into this relationship zone starting on the 31st so heading into November you’ll be more likely to be slowed down and figuring something out about love, income, women, or beauty interests with these people be they ongoing or past, or you may have some space between you as one partner or client, etc., has to be away to earn money or for beauty pursuits, etc., during this period.
The Full Moon on the 24th brings income, purchases or what you’re doing with possessions to a climax in some way. You may be wrapping up a project or idea here or ending an income situation or getting rid of possessions now. You could also have a breakthrough, be celebrating the purchase or income achievement, as things climax in a positive way.
Finally, Mercury heads into Sagittarius on the 31st so this starts the process of opening up talks and meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about travel, people at a distance, legalities, media, marketing, education, ceremonies, religion, or politics. Mercury usually speeds through a sign in about 3 and a half weeks but will not fully exit Sagittarius until the New Year because he will Retrograde over these matters mid-November. So, in these areas as well, you’ll be moving forward, then slow down, review, release, rekindle, or rework things as you see fit, coming in contact with the past in these areas and getting a do-over so you get things right. Because of this, if you are planning on flying this Christmas season or even over Thanksgiving, you may wish to purchase tickets in the first 3 weeks of October to avoid the Shadow or actual Retrograde phase and the mix-ups and delays and lost luggage associated with it.
TAURUS:
When it comes to relationships in October you have a whole lot of forward, backward and down the rabbit hole going on, it’s going to be busy. And when I say relationships I mean romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates, whomever here that you are most focused and involved with will likely be your candidates. Mercury will help you to open up talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offer, short trips, and decisions with or about them starting on the 9th onward. The Sun will join in on the 23rd for a 30-day spotlight on your relationships that can put you center stage with them, engaging in a more personal or physical way and putting your interests up front. These two influences are positive for getting you in there with them. The wild card is Venus Retrograde, which begins on the 5th and will have you slowing down to work something out or release someone or it will have the past coming back around for another shot to rekindle or rework things or get better closure if that is where you’re at with them. The focus will be on Venus themes: love, income, women, or beauty, so seek out past clients for income opportunities, partner with people from the past over love or income, see an old specialist about a beauty interest, you get the idea. You’ll be in flux with this for weeks to come so take your time.
October also has lots going on in your work and health zone. There is a New Moon on the 8th that opens up a powerful 2-week window that can help take your actions and get the ball rolling when it comes to your work, a job, the co-workers, the hired help, any paperwork, your organizing needs, cleaning things up, or the details. It can just as strongly boost you forward with health interests or animals, so be proactive in what calls you. Do note that on the 31st Venus will take her Retrograde into this territory, so you may be heading into November with the idea of returning to the past to focus on the income, love, women, or beauty interests in your work or with your health or via co-workers, hired help, paperwork, or the animals. Pay attention to what is coming up for you on the last day of the month for clues as to what you’ll be working on up ahead. As with all Retrogrades someone could exit, someone could return, or you could be revisioning something in one of these areas.
The Full Moon on the 24th is in your sign, Taurus, so you are in the spotlight in some way, perhaps getting some recognition or being honored, achieving a personal or physical goal, wrapping up something you were physically involved in, ending or achieving a title or name, hitting a high point with your image, body or brand, or just feeling like things are coming together for you as the day is about a culmination in your energy field.
Finally, Mercury heads into Sagittarius on the 31st so your mind, talks, short trips, writing, agreements, sales, offers, meetings, and decisions turn to sex, divorce, reproductive needs, death, birth, or any financial matter such as a loan, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, or other resources. You’ll be heading forward with these interests into November, but Mercury will be Retrograding up ahead taking you back over what you start into now so pace yourself, you’ll be revisiting the past, releasing or rekindling past or ongoing situations and figuring out what works and what doesn’t up through the New Year.
GEMINI:
Mark October as work or health month, perhaps both? You have Mercury heading into this territory starting the 9th onward which should open up talks and meetings about your work or with co-workers or hired help, your health, any paperwork, or about animals. Mercury may bring agreements or sales, writing or interviews, or offers or decisions about these themes as well so keep communications lines open. The Sun joins this story on the 23rd onward which is your cue that you’ll be showing up and getting more personally or physically involved with work, health, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, animals, organizing, or cleaning. This is a 30-day trend that can help you stand out and take the lead here. Now for the interesting part; Venus is Retrograding through these matters starting on the 5th. So, she is about the love or income flow, the women or beauty interests with your work or health, pets or paperwork, co-workers or hired help, cleaning or organizing. This should then slow things down in these areas and get you to revisit the past in some way. You may run into past people that are part of this story to see if you want to rekindle something or get better closure, you could release some current situation, or you could get in there with a current situation to rework, release or rethink things. Good examples of this would be to start working out again for your health with a female friend from the past or going to see a hired professional from your past about a health concern, refocusing work and love issues or picking back up on an old job for income. So, take your time, it’s an evolving story.
From the 8th onward the New Moon can help you to maximize your efforts with creative projects, your love life, a lover, any recreational pursuits, or the kids. The 2 weeks that follow this New Moon are there to help propel you into something new in one or more of these areas or to take a current situation to the next level. Note that on the 31st Venus takes her Retrograde into these topics, so you will now slow down and review where you are with lovers, kids, creativity, or fun. You may exit something or see someone exit for the duration of the Retrograde or good, you may run into someone past or pick up a past idea and run with it to see if it holds potential or you may delve into an ongoing situation to rework or rekindle things.
The Full Moon on the 24th is bringing something to a climax in your 12th house. This means there is something building around an artistic project or pursuit, a romance, a romantic getaway, a karmic situation, the hospital, another institution, your spiritual practices, an addiction, a deception, a secret, an investigation, or your research. At this point you may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, celebrating, or noting an achievement in one or more of these matters.
CANCER:
A big part of Octobers focus for you is going to be on your 5th house of lovers, kids, creative ventures, and recreation. First, Mercury enters this part of your chart on the 9th onward which should help open up talks and meetings, agreements or sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, or decisions about these matters. The Sun the joins in on the 23rd, kicking off a 30-day cycle that spotlights these topics and urges you to show up and get more personally or physically involved. You can shine here now and make it more about your interests. The wild card is that Venus is going to Retrograde in the territory of lovers, kids, creativity, and recreation starting on the 5th and will be slowing down brand-new situations and rather getting you to either return to some past person or situation to revitalize things, release them or get better closure or rework them. So you may run into past people in the name of love or for kids, or pick back up on old creative or recreational pursuits, or you may release some current situation or you may delve in deeper and work something out by focusing on Venus themes of love or income needs here or what is going on with women or beauty interests in the mix. So as an example, you could rekindle something with an old love interest, go back to an old income idea via a creative project, see the kids go away for a few weeks on an artistic retreat (beauty), or spark things back up in a current amore. Slow down, take your time, this will take a while to figure out.
The New Moon in your home and family zone on the 8th opens up a 2-week window that can help you to launch into something brand new or take you into some next chapter in a current situation. Make this about home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates, and be proactive in this 2-week window since your action are now paired with more momentum. On the 31st Venus will take her Retrograde into this territory so you’ll then either slow down in current love or income interests on the home front or with family, real estate deals, roommates, etc., or you will return to a past situation or go deeper into a current one to rework, release or rekindle things. This for example, would not be the best time to buy new beautiful objects for the home but rather to go back to an old source of beauty, or it wouldn’t be the best time to start a new love affair with a home-cooked meal but better to rekindle old or ongoing love at home or work out issues here, not the best time to start trying to earn money in real estate if it is brand new to you but good to go pick it back up if you did it in the past.
The Full Moon on the 24th is about something culminating with a friend, the internet, a group, a gathering, interests in astrology, a charity, your personal aspirations, freedom, or an original project. At this point you may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, celebrating a breakthrough, or celebrating for the fun of it, or achieving some goal you’ve set.
Finally, Mercury heads into Sagittarius on the 31st which is about your work and health. Here, Mercury will start to open up talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about your work or health. By extension it can also open up the same with co-workers, hired help, paperwork, cleaning, organizing, or the animals. Mercury will be here unusually long, into the New Year, thanks to his Retrograde next month, so whatever you are starting up now, you will then slow down and rework, release, revamp, rekindle, or rethink in the weeks and months ahead, so pace yourself, let it flower in time.
LEO:
There seems to be a whole lot going on at or with home, the family, your real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, or roommates this month. First, Mercury is helping you to get into talks or meetings about it or he can help you with agreements, sales, writing, interviews, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, or decisions about these topics and this starts on the 9th onward. So, if you need to involve the brother or sister about Mom or want to involve the neighbor in a move or want to sign the lease on a property, etc., it starts now. The Sun joins in on the 23rd, kicking off a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on your involvement with these matters, so you may now start to show up and get more personally or physically involved in the home or family dynamic or out with roommates, parents, the move, renovation, or real estate deals. This period is about you standing out and putting your interests in the mix. The wild card is Venus, she is going to Retrograde over these topics starting on the 5th so when it comes to her influence: love, income, women, or beauty interests, she will start to slow down new opportunities tied to home, family, real estate deals, moves, renovations, roommates, or parents, or she will start to get you in there with a past person, issue, opportunity, or situation to rework, release or rekindle things. You could also have a separation with a current situation during the Retrograde period or for good or get back into that old project and get it going again, perhaps a way to earn from home or in real estate or a family business or sparking love up on the home front. Pace yourself, it’s a long story.
You also have a powerful New Moon in your communication and local arena that kicks in on the 8th and in the 2 weeks that follow. This is your best window this year to launch into something brand new or take current interests into that next chapter. The focus is on talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, ideas, and decisions, so be proactive. Venus will take her Retrograde into this arena starting on the 31st so you may get an inkling about what will be slowing down, returning, exiting, or in for a major do-over in November and how love, women, income, or beauty will be focused on with these communications, local activities, siblings, etc.
The Full Moon on the 24th is about bringing something to a peak on the career front, with your personal goals, your status, reputation, fame, or an authority figure like a boss, parent, director, teacher, judge, or mentor. At this point you may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, celebrating, having a breakthrough, or achieving a goal in one of these matters.
Finally, Mercury heads into your zone of lovers, kids, creative ventures, and recreation on the 31st. Typically he moves through a territory in about 3 and a half weeks but because Mercury will Retrograde next month over these same matters and then goes Direct again, well, you won’t be one with this story until the New Year. Mercury should open up talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, offers, and decisions about creative ventures, with the kids, any lovers or your love life, or with recreational pursuits. Just keep in mind what you move ahead on now will then slow down and you will return to past situations or rework current situations or deal with some space created in a withdrawal for whatever reason, it will be a do-over, again, pace yourself.
VIRGO:
October is about reviewing choices about love, income, women, or beauty interests, or going back into talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, or decisions about it. Some of you may involve siblings or neighbors in this and some may make it about vehicles or electronics. The thing is, it’s time to rethink things and either let go in some areas or go back into past situations and rekindle things or rework them or look at where you are in a current situation and ask if you can rework it in a better way. Examples would be reconsidering a love proposal from the past, going back and re-interviewing for an income position, picking up an old writing project and seeing if you can tweak it to be a money-maker, returning a beauty object you bought before or returning to purchase one you wanted in the past, you get the idea. If you are waiting on news or an offer or wanting to get an added boost with decisions and the rest, note that Mercury joins this story between the 9th and 31st. The Sun will also play a part, shining his light onto your interests here from the 23rd onward, a time when you are more likely to show up and get more personally or physically involved and stand out in some way. So, lots going on here but really, it’s a do-over, make it count.
You will get a cosmic boost starting on the 8th and in the 2 weeks that follow when it comes to your income, purchases or possessions so use it to be proactive about starting something brand new or taking your current situation into that next chapter. You may do best when involving partners, clients, specialists, reps, or other key players. Note that Venus takes her Retrograde into these matters starting on the 31st so you’ll then slow down and start to either release things not working, go back to past situations to rework, release or rekindle things, or rework ongoing situations so you get things right. This means what you set in motion now will be up for this do-over in November.
The Full Moon on the 24th brings something to a head with a trip, people at a distance, a legal matter, a media venture, your marketing ideas, an educational pursuit, a wedding or other ceremony, your religious interests, or a political matter. Whichever you are involved in expect things to now wrap up, end, be a reason to celebrate, or where your achievements await. If you are trying to work towards something here aim at what you value or being valued or look at potential income, purchases or possessions in the mix.
Finally, Mercury heads into Sagittarius on the 31st and this obviously won’t be a huge deal for you since it’s just one day but Mercury is not going to travel here for his usual 3 plus weeks but will be going back and forth across this sign, not exiting until the New Year, so you may wish to pay attention to what comes up for you in regards to any news, talks or decisions about home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates now since it looks like you’ll be working with it for a while. Also note that as with Venus Retrograde, Mercury will be Retrograding up ahead over these themes so what you set in motion now ties into past or reworking ongoing scenarios up ahead.
LIBRA:
October holds a whole lot of focus on your income, purchases or possessions, Libra. The most important thing to think about here is a do-over. Venus is going to be slowing things down, so you have the time to reconnect with past people or opportunities, to let go of anything current that is not working or to rework things and get them right. Venus wants you to focus on love or money, beauty or women here, so think about running into a past love interest while out making that purchase or make it about an old opportunity to earn money or look for women from the past to return engaged with your possessions, purchases or income, you get the idea. This begins on the 5th and stays here until the 31st so pace yourself. It’s also not all of the story. Mercury joins this arena on the 9th through the 31st so his presence may help amplify talks or meetings, news or offers, agreements or sales, writing or short trips about it. Finally, the Sun joins in on the 23rd kicking off a 30-day cycle here. This should help you stand out a bit more when it comes to earning, spending or your stuff, and perhaps it will urge you into more scenarios over love, money, beauty, or women to get there while you have a bit of an edge.
Another nice focus this month is on you. That is because there is a New Moon in your sign starting on the 8th. Plan to take time over the next 2 weeks to start something new or take something already in motion and move it forward. This can be about your body or image, your brand or name, your title or personal needs, or about something you feel passionate about getting involved in that puts you forward. Note; on the last day of the month the Venus Retrograde exits Scorpio and backs into your sign so this may start to pull you towards the past in some way personal or physical to you, keep an eye out for it.
The Full Moon on the 24th brings things to a culmination in your powerful 8th house. This means you may be wrapping something up regarding a loan, the debt, your taxes, the insurance, an investment, the alimony, your child support, a bankruptcy, the inheritance, or some other financial scenario, or it could mean things peaking in your sex life, with a reproductive matter, a death, a birth, or a divorce. Aim to reach goals here or to end things, to celebrate or breakthrough.
Finally, Mercury zips into Sagittarius on the 31st to start you thinking about your ideas, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or short trips. This will be a trend amping up in November, but you could get a head start now. This same influence may bring more involvement with siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, or local activities as well, keep communications flowing.
SCORPIO:
I’m thinking October may be quite interesting for you, Scorpio, and I lay it at the feet of Venus going Retrograde in your sign. This begins on the 5th and will back through Scorpio until the 31st at which time she continues her Retrograde but now in Libra. So, while she is slowing you down for some reason over your needs or physical activities and the love, income, beauty interests, or women, she will also be opening a door to the past to rekindle something or get better closure. This period can also help you let go of someone or something in these areas if it is not right for you or to slow down enough to rework something ongoing, so you get it right. Remember, yours is a deep and rather intense energy field (Sign) so things may feel powerful or you may have an urge to purge or destroy or transform. Again, pace yourself, this may be the time you need to make a breakthrough with someone else over these things, but you will be figuring out what you need as part of the process and should allow yourself until the end of the month to see how things are going to pan out. To add to this story, Mercury will join in between the 9th and 31st, giving you more ability to get into talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, offers, or decisions about it. And then on the 23rd the Sun starts his 30-day cycle through your sign which puts a spotlight on you and helps you to stand out a bit more and make it about your needs in the mix. One last point; Scorpio is about shared financial scenarios like loans, debt, inheritance, insurance, taxes, etc., as well as being about sexuality, chemistry, power, jealousy, obsessiveness, triangles, divorce, death, birth, and reproduction, so one or more of these topics may color what is developing.
A New Moon in your mysterious 12th house begins to unfold on the 8th and will be in effect for the next 2 weeks. This period can help you to start something new or take a current interest to the next level. The 12th house is about romantic getaways, clandestine romance or karmic unions, your artistic pursuits or interests such as film, music, painting, theater, dance, or poetry, your spiritual interests such as prayer, meditation or yoga, any secrets, deceptions or addictions you want a fresh start with, institutions such as hospitals, spas or retreats, or digging into information via research or investigations. So, use this period to boost your interests forward. Do note that on the 31st Venus takes her Retrograde into these areas, so you’ll be ending the month and heading into next month with a do-over in love, with money, women, or beauty interests in these areas.
The Full Moon on the 24th is about something coming to a head with a partner, client, specialist, agent, attorney, competitor, advocate, or other such relationship. This is when you can have a breakthrough, celebrate or achieve goals, or when you can get a finalization, wrap things up or mark an ending.
Finally, Mercury heads into your zone of income, purchases or possessions starting on the 31st, setting the stage for more talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, or decisions about these topics in November. Pay attention to the ideas you have percolating or any information or invitations coming in about it, they may be clues as to what’s to come.
SAGITTARIUS:
Oh boy, Sage, October looks quite interesting for you as well as your Scorpio neighbor! Your zone of behind the scenes, secretive, inspirational topics is getting a major influx of focus which means you can plan on spending lots of time or mental activity on it. This zone is where you find time away from the world, so it can be a place of retreat and magical influences or one of escapism and some more challenging moments. Therefore, topics involved can run the gambit from romantic interludes or getaways, artistic projects or outlets such as film, music, painting, theater, or other muse related themes, spiritual practices or beliefs, or research interests, to secrets, investigations, addictions, deceptions, or karmic re-balancing. I’m sure one or more of these are important to you right now so get ready. First, Venus is going to Retrograde through these matters starting on the 5th. She will slow you down when it comes to any brand-new situations here but rather urge you to refocus on some ongoing situation for a do-over or a release. She can also bring the past back around for another shot at things so people or opportunities or issues can return associated with these needs. Venus will be asking that you look at income or love in the equation or get you to do something with or about women or beauty interests in the mix. Next, Mercury joins this story on the 9th onward so at this point you can start to get more going locally or through short trips, the talks, meetings, agreements, sales, or decisions start to flow about it, or you can involve vehicles, electronics, siblings, or neighbors about it. Finally, the Sun joins the story from the 23rd onward, a 30-day cycle that puts the spotlight on you and urges you to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these artistic, romantic, spiritual, healing, institutional, research, or investigative matters. This period is about making your needs known or taking the lead or involving your name, title, brand, or image about it.
There is another strong push this month and that is social. The New Moon that kicks in on the 8th and is in effect over the next 2 weeks is about opening up potential for you with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, causes, original projects, or aspirations. It’s your best time of the year to start something new or take what’s going on here to some next level so say yes to the opportunities that arrive that feel in flow with your interests. Also, note that Venus is Retrograding as I mentioned above, in your behind the scenes arena of artistic, romantic, spiritual, secretive, deceptive, addictive, institutional (hospitals, retreats, etc.), research, and investigative topics throughout this month, but on the 31st Venus continues her Retrograde by backing up into this social field for you where she will now tour into November. So whatever you are moving into with these friends, groups, internet, astrology, charity, aspirations, or original projects now will then start to deal with the slow-down, retreat or re-connection with the past over income, love, women, or beauty interests up ahead. So, for instance, you may have great opportunities with a new female friend this month, but she then takes her leave for a while or for good as Venus Retrograde kicks in or you start something with a new group now and then when Venus Retrogrades you see an old friend arrive that is part of that group, much to your surprise. It could be that you are starting a new internet project now and once Venus Retrogrades an old love interest shows up or an old income flow returns, you get the idea.
The Full Moon on the 24th brings a work, health or pet situation to a peak in some way. It’s that time of year when you can look back at how far you have come and either wrap up projects, end situations, achieve goals, or celebrate something coming through or at it’s prime about it. This can be a job you are involved in now or a gig you’ve taken, it can be about work you are doing to organize or clean or help out in some kind of service to others. It can be about a co-worker or hired help and what is coming to a head with them or it could be about paperwork you are wrapping up or that comes through for you now. You could have a health situation that is finally over, or you could find you have reached a goal of fitness or perhaps figured something out finally about what’s been going on with your body. Finally, you could be celebrating bringing a pet into the fold or the successes of your furry friend as they achieve some goal you set for them or you could be ending a situation involving animals in your life.
Finally, Mercury moves into your sign starting on the 31st so next month will really be focused on you when it comes to talks, meetings, interviews, auditions, offers, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, or local activities. It can also put you at the center of things with brothers, sisters, neighbors, vehicles, or electronics. Plan on making this the time to show up and get more personally or physically involved in your interests or to focus this on your body, image, brand, name, or title.
CAPRICORN:
It’s time to revisit an old friend or group, to redo your website or go back to an old online interest, to attend old gatherings or pursue old aspirations or to just slow down in your current social or aspirational fields and rework something one way or the other. Venus is the culprit, she is going Retrograde here and her aim is to reconnect you to love or income needs or with women or beauty interests in these areas. You can now, starting on the 5th onward, revamp current situations, let go of anything that is no longer working or rekindle the past. Example; you decide to attend the party or event you get invited to and run into an old paramour or meet someone from the past who now has an income opportunity for you, you decide your website is not generating enough income or needs a better focus on women or isn’t beautiful enough so you spend this month working out the issues so you can launch forward with the new once Venus is Direct on Nov 16th. You get the idea, it’s a do-over these areas up until Oct 31st at which time Venus will continue her Retrograde in another area, more on that in a bit. Mercury also joins this story starting on the 9th onward so at this point you may get into talks or meetings about the internet, your aspirations, with friends or groups, about charities or astrology, or about original projects. Mercury can help you get things moving with agreements, sales, writing, short trips, siblings, neighbors, or decisions about it as well. Finally, the Sun also comes to focus on these social and aspirational topics starting on the 23rd. He will be urging you to put yourself into the mix in some personal or physical way, to show up, make it about your needs, take the lead, and stand out in these areas. You’ll have 30 days with this positive influence.
The other area of focus this month is on your Midheaven, the apex of your chart. This area is all about personal goals, reputation, fame, status, career, and authority figures in your life such as the boss, parent, judge, director, or mentor. The New Moon on the 8th opens up a powerful 2-week window for you about these topics and can help you gather more momentum than at other times of the year to start something new here or to take current interests to the next level. So, make it count! Now, for the rest of the Venus Retrograde, starting on the 31st Venus takes her Retrograde into these areas where she will slow you down and allow you to dive deeper into an ongoing situation with goals, career or authority types or to return to the past to rekindle or release something. Again, Venus will want you to look at your income or love needs here or to make it about a woman, the women or beauty interests in the mix. So, if you have a goal to earn more money on the career front or to rekindle something with a past love interest, you may find that past ideas or situations calling you. You could also find a past authority type is inching back into your life or someone current is exiting. You’ll just get a preview as the month ends but next month you’ll have a couple weeks to figure it out, keep it in mind as you launch forward under this New moon momentum.
By the 24th you should see something culminating with a lover, your love life, a child, the children, a creative endeavor, or a recreational pursuit. The Full Moon will bring emotions to a peak and allow you to have breakthroughs, achievements or celebrations in these areas or to finalize things, wrap up projects or mark endings here. Keep your values center stage.
Finally, Mercury heads into your behind-the-scenes territory starting on the 31st which means the weeks ahead can be fruitful when it comes to ideas, talks and meetings focused on artistic, romantic, spiritual, or hospital/other institutional matters. It’s good for digging into information via research or investigations, for attending meetings about addictions or bad habits, for sales, writing or decisions about art, film, music, poetry, romantic interludes or getaways, or spiritual ideals, and may mean you have a lot of inner thoughts going on that are helping you formulate options or inspire the muse.
AQUARIUS:
With Venus Retrograde starting on the 5th and slowing you down to refocus on love or income, women or beauty interests this month, you can take your time to figure out what is still relevant and can be reworked or rekindled or what is done and can be released. The focus for you is on personal goals, career or authority figures such as a boss, parent, judge, mentor, director, or other such higher-up person. So, you may find that you run into an old boss or mentor this month or purposefully return to them yourself to figure out something with income or perhaps this is a woman. You could be drawn back to an old goal with love or refocus your career on a women’s interest. You can also focus on current goals, career matters or authority figures as you see someone or something exit for a while or for good or you decide it’s time to revamp things in the name of more love or income, women or beauty needs here. Venus will be Retrograde over these topics through the 31st at which time she will take her Retrograde into another area, more on that in a bit. Mercury will also join in this story starting on the 9th at which point you may find you can get into talks or meetings, tackle agreements or sales, write or interview, take more short trips or get busy locally, or involve siblings, neighbors, vehicles, or electronics when it comes to these goals, career matters or authority types. Finally, the Sun joins in starting on the 23rd at which point you will be more illuminated in these matters, able to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these goals, career matters or with authority types. It’s time now, over the next 30 days, to make it about you and your needs, to stand out and take the lead.
You also have a New Moon this month on the 8th which is all about your 9th house of law, travel, education, media, marketing, weddings, other ceremonies, politics, and religion. So, you can choose one or more of these matters and really get more momentum behind your efforts over the next 2 weeks. You can start something new, like signing up for a new class or putting out your hat as a teacher, booking the plane tickets to some far off destination, starting back to law school or filing your legal papers, announcing your wedding or booking your wedding venue, launching your YouTube show or marketing campaign, joining a church, or throwing your hat into the political arena. You can also use this momentum to further something you are already doing in one of these areas, so be proactive! Note; when Venus Retrograde exits the are of goals, career and authority figures on the 31st, she will be backing into these travel, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, and political matters. That means as you boost your interests forward with the New Moon now, you will know that as you end the month and head into November Venus will be slowing down and bringing the past back around about it. So, any income or love interests, women or beauty themes that might tie into these topics will be geared towards reworking current situations, letting go of what is no longer valid or returning to the past about it. So, examples could be you book the trip with the New Moon and find you are running into women or love interests from the past up ahead or you could launch the new media or marketing ideas now but see things slow down with income in new areas as Venus Retrogrades moves in and you realize you need to revamp something or an old situation or approach is your best option for the couple weeks Venus Retrogrades here. You get the idea!
By the 24th things should be at a peak on the home front or with family thanks to the Full Moon in your 4th house. This is an emotionally charged culminating period when you may be finalizing something about your home, renovation, move, or real estate deal, wrapping up projects or ending a situation, or you may have a breakthrough here, have a celebration in the home or about the real estate deal, or achieve your goals with the renovation or move. Family, parents, history, ancestry, and roommates are also areas that could be at peak performance now as you wrap things up, mark endings, celebrate, or achieve. So, you could perhaps be throwing some kind of celebratory scenario for a parent or you could find the perfect roommate or end a roommate situation as examples.
Finally, Mercury heads into your social and aspirational territory starting on the 31st. This will be a trend into November that opens up talks or meetings, agreements or sales, writing or short trips, offers or decisions involving your friends, group activities, online interests, astrology, charities, or gatherings. You can also make it all about your personal aspirations, freedom or original projects. It should be an expansive time.
PISCES:
Venus is Retrograding in October starting on the 5th. She will be slowing you down in current love or income scenarios or slowing you down in situations with women or beauty interests, as she opens up the potential to rekindle, release or rework something past or ongoing. For your sign this will occur tied to travel, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political arenas. So, think about how you want to approach this, you could decide to book a flight and hop a plane that puts you back in touch with an old paramour, you could attend a friend’s wedding and run into an old love interest or women you’ve known before or decide the idea of getting married is back on the table with a current love interest. You could call off the wedding as Venus shifting gears makes you question love. You could go back to an old media idea or marketing campaign to see if you can revamp old income flow or rework a current ad or site to get that money coming in up ahead. You could rework a legal agreement with a woman or decide to take a class or teach something about beauty that takes you back into the past. It’s your do-over, take your time, you are in flux with this until the 31st at which time Venus will take her Retrograde into a different arena, more on that in a bit. Mercury will join this territory starting on the 9th onward so at this point you may find you can get into more talks or meetings, agreement or sales, writing or interviews, offers or decisions that involve travel, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political matters. You may also find that your siblings or neighbors are more involved or that you are making it about vehicles or electronics. So, for example, perhaps your trip will mean seeing your sister or brother again or you are now tending to some legal agreements with a vehicle or you are proposing marriage or proposed to, or you are signing the papers on something educational, you get the idea. Finally, the Sun joins in on the 23rd onward so now you find you are showing up and getting more personally or physically involved or that you are standing out and taking the lead. So over the next 30 days while the Sun spotlights you here you may board the plane, show up in the classroom, put your image or brand forward in the media or marketing campaign, walk down the aisle, attend the wedding, go to church, volunteer for the political campaign, or any other way to be front and center in one of these expansive arenas.
You also have a big push forward this month coming from the New Moon that kicks in on the 8th onward. On the one hand, this is about your financial arenas, so you can look at what you want to do with loans or debt, inheritance or bankruptcy, insurance policies or taxes, alimony or child support, or any other financial resource, and either start something new or take what you are doing into that next chapter. Of course, follow the advice of your financial experts in these areas but it might be the right time to see if you are getting the best return or if you need to work something out. On the other hand, this can also have a strong personal side to your New Moon push forward and that would be about sexual attractions, reproductive matters, divorce, death, birth, or third-party situations you are involved with or want to start up. In any of these areas you can either start something new or take something current to the next level. Now, I told you Venus Retrograde was going to move into another sign starting on the 31st and this is where she is headed. So, from the 31st through Nov 16th things will slow down as you rework something current, let go of something current or return to the past for another shot at something. An example would be running into an old love interest and rekindling that sexual flame, letting go of a love interest via divorce or reworking things with your current paramour over sexual or reproductive needs. Another example could be seeing income slow down to the point you decide you need to revamp your way of accepting payments with credit cards or how deciding to return to an old income situation because it offers you the retirement or insurance you need. So, let the New Moon move you forward with the idea that you will be heading into this period up ahead to revitalize, release or rekindle things.
By the 24th the Full Moon will bring things to a head in your 3rd house so there are several areas that could be coming through or wrapping up. First, this is about information and communication, so you could get some big news, or an offer or proposal could come through, you could have an important talk or meeting, see something peak with agreements or sales, wrap things up or celebrate something with your writing, auditions or interviews, or make a big decision. Secondly, this could be about something big going on locally or via a short trip, with a sibling or neighbor, or about vehicles or electronics. So, you could have the car or electronic hit the skids or celebrate the purchase of the new item, you could have arguments come to a head with the brother, sister or neighbor or celebrate them in some way, or you could get away on the wonderful short trip or celebrate something with neighbors or in the neighborhood.
Finally, Mercury heads into your Midheaven starting on the 31st. This means that over the weeks ahead you may hear some news or get into more talks, meetings, interviews, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, offers, local activities, or decisions that are all about some personal goal of yours or focused on your career, reputation, fame, or an authority type like the boss, director, teacher, parent, or judge. Keep the communications flowing, it’s time.
