October 21 ~ November 4

You have spent a lifetime learning the art of compromise, but there comes a time when keeping the peace can cost you your own. Your ruler Venus retrogrades back into your sign on Sunday, October 25, inviting you to reconsider who you are becoming and what you truly need from the relationships in your life. As Venus forms exquisite connections to the lunar Nodes by month’s end, you have an opportunity to resolve old relationship karma and find a healthier balance between honoring your own needs and loving another. Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, October 24, activating your house of income and personal values, prompting you to revisit financial decisions or reconsider what you are willing to give in exchange for what you receive.

The Full Moon in Taurus on Sunday, October 25, brings matters of intimacy and shared finances into focus, bringing an emotional or financial matter to a turning point. With Mars in Leo fueling your vision for the future, its square to Mercury retrograde later next week may challenge you to consider whether those closest to you truly support the direction your Soul is taking. You may discover that a dream you once shared no longer speaks to the person you are today. Loving someone does not mean abandoning the dreams that make you feel most alive. The evolution of love does not require you to become less of yourself to make room for someone else.

The right relationships will give you more freedom to be who your Soul came here to be, with those who love you cheering you on as they watch you fly.
