October 21 ~ November 4

There are moments when your Soul knows the truth long before your mind can find the words to express it. Mercury stations retrograde in fellow water sign Scorpio on Saturday, October 24, inviting you to reconsider something you once believed was certain. A conversation or experience may awaken a deeper understanding of where your journey is taking you, and why the road behind you could never have led anywhere else. The Full Moon in Taurus on Sunday, October 25, brings a message or meaningful exchange that helps you make sense of something you have been feeling for some time.

As Venus retrogrades into Libra and your eighth house, her pivotal trines and sextiles to the lunar Nodes by month’s end may unlock a deeper understanding of the Soul contracts that bind you to others. You may recognize where love has become entangled with obligation, and where greater honesty could restore the balance between giving and receiving. Mars in Leo continues to press upon your daily responsibilities, but its square to Mercury retrograde later next week may challenge you to reconsider how much of your energy is being spent meeting demands that leave little room for your own needs. You cannot honor your Soul’s calling while continually abandoning yourself to answer everyone else’s.

The truth you are discovering is not asking you to sacrifice more, Pisces. It is asking you to recognize the power of your own desires and have the courage to give them a life of their own.
