Predictions for this month

  1. Venus stations retrograde at 8° Scorpio on October 3 in Cancer's fifth house of romance, creativity, and pleasure

    Beginning a review that lasts until mid-November.

    Romance and creative projects come up for review. A past love may return, or an old creative idea may ask to be finished at last. This is not the best time to rush into a new romance or make big decisions about love. Instead, reflect on what truly brings you joy and what only distracts you. Old patterns in how you give and receive affection may become clear. Rediscovering a forgotten hobby could be deeply rewarding. What you revisit now may become more meaningful than anything new.
