Astrology forecast for Oct. 9-22
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
A combination of passion and intrigue influences relationships when Venus transits into Scorpio on the 9th. The Full Moon in Aries on the following day encourages us to evaluate me versus we issues.
Love takes on a rosy glow on the 17th-18th when Venus loses herself in illusionary Neptune, causing reality to take a temporary hike. This is further magnified by Mercury’s blending with the planet of dreams on the 13th-nice for connecting with your spiritual side. Reality reemerges when Saturn squares off with Mercury on the 14th. And Neptune turning direct on the 22nd smoothes the way for an endeavor that stalled out around mid-May.
