October’s planets are leading a mischievous and potentially meddlesome dance through the Love Zone of your chart, so it’s safe to say that this month could bring some drama in your personal relationships.
Sweet-tempered and loving Venus turns retrograde in your house of love early in October, and her energies start to become rather demanding. Don’t be surprised if you feel inexplicable jealousy, or dissatisfaction with a relationship which was previously fulfilling. Some of the gloss seems like it’s worn off it, and you may need to work hard to re-find the magic – if that’s even what you wish to do. It can be done, certainly, but only with the full co-operation of your partner too.
If you’re single, this energy may exacerbate any feelings of loneliness or shyness, or you may feel as though you’ll never meet the right person. Not true, of course, but everyone’s been there at some time.
Single or attached, the best way to handle these feelings is to distract yourself with work, study or your ambitions. Energetic Mars is travelling through your career zone all month, and a New Moon helps to focus your attention away from any love woes too. Throw yourself into your goals and try to stay away from too much love related drama.
Once the Sun arrives in your Love Zone late in October, you’ll start to feel light at the end of the tunnel. However, expect the unexpected. Both the Sun and Venus go head to head with unpredictable, rebellious Uranus at this time, which could indicate sudden breakups or indeed an out of the blue new relationship. You’re striving for freedom in love, one way or the other, and you’ll make sure you get it. With a Full Moon in your own sign in the last week of the month, you’ll be confident enough to ensure that your love life works out on your terms. Quite right too.
