Forecast for Oct. 18-31
Sex, secrets and finances are the topics of the day when the sun enters passionate, enigmatic Scorpio and conjuncts brainy Mercury on the 23rd. On the same day, retrograde Mercury transits back into Libra, indicating it’s time to discuss and resolve old relationship issues. Heightening the relationship wake-up call is the Uranus-Venus opposition on the 24th-25th, which can rattle new relationships and knock committed ones out of a rut. Next, the full moon in Taurus boosts sensuality in the bedroom and moneymaking opportunities in the boardroom. Overindulging in both those areas is likely when Venus squares expansive Jupiter on the 29th. And if you’ve been confused about your direction, Neptune turning direct on the 31st should produce some much-needed clarity.
