The stuttery energy of retrograding Mercury and Venus lasts until November 13th so you can expect some stops and starts during the first half of the month.   However, this isn’t ‘dead time’ but a process of review that is in itself very valuable for making what unfolds later a great success.  When Mars and Jupiter join forces in Leo on the 16th you are buoyed up by a partnership, strong connection or arrangement that brings out the best in both parties whether it’s business or personal.  This has been a while in the making but you can both see the upside and wish it to continue.  The Sun’s arrival into the people angle of your chart on the 22nd is followed by a happy-go-lucky Full Moon on the 24th.   The second half of the month brings many blessings.
