Welcome to the extraordinary energy of October.   I say that because the month has some stormy cosmic weather at times and we all need to be prepared to step outside of our comfort zone.   We are also entering a period of Venus retrograde in the deep sign of Scorpio requiring us to review what it is we value in terms of love, creativity, relationships, money and any aspect of life that takes us into the realm of the heart.  People from the past re-surface, old patterns, unfinished business – and later in the month on the 24th Mercury also starts reversing through Scorpio.  A day later Venus backtracks further into Libra and we are called to look at our sense of balance and what is or has been fair – or not.   This is the theme for October and there’s no avoiding it as we get some strong Pluto energy which forces us to face those very things we may have avoided but now have to acknowledge what’s really true for us.   What can you get rid of , acknowledge or unblock that will allow Venus to flow in your life..
