LIBRA
Mars-Neptune disharmony hangs about until Monday: don’t be drawn into a data vortex or automatically trust the veracity of credentials. Delusionists aren’t necessarily bad people, some are just high on their own hype. But you’re about to enjoy an extended, dazzling display of love and opportunity: the Sun is conjunct Venus from October 19 to 27. It’s an aphrodisiac revitalizer deluxe.
SCORPIO
Mars-Venus hookups like the one from Tues to Thurs are typically a transient stimulus – sharper fashion sense, intensified attraction scenarios, a few extra endorphins. This week’s phenom is square your ruler Pluto and in range of next week’s Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. It’s amped. Anticipate renewed lust, gusto, romantic options and/or the reopening of your secret love vault.
SAGITTARIUS
Mars Retro at the end of October until mid-January need not be problematic. In fact, it’s brilliant for revising your relationship strategies or resolving feuds and it inspires your core Saggo persona: You could home-cut your hair into a mullet, hire an intimacy coordinator or text people that you forgive them for being mediocre. But it’s cumbersome for being stuck in scraps you started.
CAPRICORN
You may like the theory that key players will perceive your worth without you having to stuff around with filters, styling, font and flattering edits but bin it. This week’s Sun-Venus sync – super-strength from the 19th to 27th – shimmers up your professional image and general public persona. Add some additional gleam from your end for fantastic gains. It will also deflect flakier competition.
AQUARIUS
Financial weirding and the hell of trying to decipher faux zen vagueness from Piscean types eases by Tuesday. In the meantime try not to inadvertently aid someone’s tedious delusions by politely taking them seriously. As an Aquarian you can always pull the wacky inventor card or affect an off-planet demeanor. You also need mental capacity to refine your emergent guiding philosophy.
PISCES
A burst of hyper-accelerated work, focus and/or definitive decision-making before late October would be highly advantageous. It would mean you could spend a chunk of the retro-Mars phase (October 31 till January 13) scrying the upcoming trends in your scene or industry and consolidating. Nov-Dec also see lucky Jupiter return to Pisces, expanding opportunities for travel and wisdom.
ARIES
Some people confuse healthy self-regard with selfishness and it can even be an on-off-on issue in Ramzilla relationships. But not between Oct 17 and 27 – a golden mini-era of potentially harmonized love, friendship and familial bonds. Your ruler Mars trines the Sun and Venus as they glide into a beneficial nine day config: something dazzling is about to spark and develop at high velocity.
TAURUS
Mercury arrives back at the point it turned Retrograde last month, answering riddles and inspiring strange, fabulous insights. A.W.O.L. opportunities and people drift in again but take a moment to consider whether they are still as desirable. The few weeks of Mercury Retrograde was metaphysically a millennium: Your mindset has changed. Of course, if it’s money owed, grab it.
GEMINI
October 25 is a Solar Eclipse that could spring dramatic evolution in everyday routines, work practices, health habits and your methodology. Scan the scene for early indicators of upcoming change AKA opportunities to show off your mercurial agility. From Tuesday, a snazzy Venus-Mars config reveals new fans of your charm, genius or a particular project. Nonchalance will deter trolls.
CANCER (KATAKA)
October 19 to 27 is potentially superb for securing a good outcome for any home or real estate scenario. The Sun and Venus are aligned the whole time, with asteroid Psyche for extra E.S.P. It could also coincide with a cosmic cue re family or deep memory and this influence enhances your interiors aesthetic. And, as the next New Moon is an Eclipse, you’re creatively regenerating.
LEO
Maintain distance from anything or anyone remotely grifter-esque until Tues – even your own flakier concepts. You will then be on more stable ground and better equipped to assess the terrain. Fronting up to something admin-ish or an awkward conversation is strengthening. It somehow sets the scene for a spectacular relationship development and broadly revitalized communication.
VIRGO
Mercury zaps out of the wider retrograde zone, revenue flow picks up and you benefit from an array of cogent conclusions. Being a Virgo, you like to guilt out over various ‘mistakes’ or costly detours but they are how you learn. Dim the harsh self-scrutiny lights: next week’s Eclipse energy represents a fresh style of self-expression and thought. Oct 19 to 21 is a sexual or financial pattern-break.
