The Libra new moon on the 29th of September should have allowed you to hit the re-set button on relationships, especially with lovers in your life. The love fest continues with The Sun and Mercury urging you to find compromise and take you out of your comfort zone of “my way or the highway.” It’s a little uncomfortable at first but you’ll find that your beloveds will love you even more as a result. How cool is that? Well when you’ve got Venus and Mars in your eighth house in October, the hugs and kisses lead to much deeper mysteries of the spirit and the flesh. With the full moon rising in your sign on the 14th, squaring both Venus and Mars, keeping your cool is critical. Avoid confrontation at all costs and if you have to cross swords with someone, make sure it’s a last resort, because as in back in the days of The Samurai, you don’t pull a sword unless you plan to use it to the death and while the example is a dramatic one, it speaks to the finality of any conflict you initiate. Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo are still squaring your Sun, driving you towards excellence in your work, rewarding you with all of the hard work you’re putting in. Don’t blow it by losing your cool.
