The pairing of Venus and Virgo starting on October 2 isn’t the most comfortable one. You might struggle to make connections with loved ones (lovers in particular), and financial ventures could stall. Pay attention to details now. They’re much more important than the big picture.

Contemplative Pluto goes direct in your sign on the fourth, giving you the go-ahead for future activities that include making up for lost time and applying realizations you’ve made in the last few months. You’re a forward-thinking sign, and Pluto’s direct motion reminds you that good things are ahead when you put forth your maximum effort.

As the sun moves into powerfully intense Scorpio on October 22, you can use your intuition and psychic abilities to make important decisions. Your first hunches are seldom wrong in the coming month, especially when it comes to the people closest to you. A strong emotional connection binds you to someone now, and it borders on obsession.

A full moon in fellow earth sign Taurus on the thirty-first is special because it’s the second one of the month. Use this powerful lunation’s energy to infuse patience into an anxious situation. If others insist on playing a waiting game, you’ll win.
