The twosome-oriented new moon in Libra on the 21st launches a series of powerful influences that energize relationship and financial opportunities-with some stress. From Oct. 22 to Nov. 1, Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Scorpio, intensifying and expanding communications, but a square from Saturn limits interactions. Next, the sun, Mars and Venus enter Scorpio, increasing the Scorpio lineup to five. A three-way Scorpion merger from the 24th-27th plunges relationships into the depths of passion and transformation. How deep do you want to go? And how complicated do you want it to get? Be especially thoughtful in communications when Mercury turns retrograde from Oct. 28 until Nov. 17. Fortunately, clarity should resume somewhat when nebulous Neptune turns direct on Oct. 29.
