SAGITTARIUS (23 November – 21 December)
All Fire signs, like yours, are finding tensions about whether to stay in one spot or find a place to travel. Just realize the stars are showing some stress areas so plan for people to generally be more reactive around the first two weeks.

As Venus rules all your value systems you will start analyzing how successfully you balance between social friendships and “alone time”. You are going to feel the need to analyse people you spend time with and the people most important in your life. Mid-month you should prioritise where is the best place and time to catch up on your personal rest and recovery time. Mid-month the New Moon in Libra favours you with new cycles around friendship and new communities. It is an opportune time to join a professional organization. If already immersed in one it could be the opportunity to take more responsibility within the group now.

22 December - 20 January
CAPRICORN [23 December - 19 January].
The month of October is half good for you and half under stress! This is because the planet Venus will spend half of its retrograde transit in Scorpio and the other half back in the sign of Libra. Capricorns should note that this Venus retrograde period always centers around reviewing reflecting and revisiting your interpersonal relationships. The black Moon, called ‘Lillith’ has just entered your sign and it will mean that your community may be plagued with old patterns and you are instrumental in throwing out useless old ways and bringing in new programmes. This may result in some people grappling with their relationships in anger or conflict! The Full Moon October 26 will be in the sign of Taurus and you should stay focus on grounding yourself and not being overactive. Saturday October 24 the Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio.

21 January - 19 February
AQUARIUS [20 January - 19 February]
Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio October 3 and Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio October 24. Both Venus and Mercury retrograde periods function as reflections on your values of the relationships. Venus will do an audit on your career aspirations so do not be surprised if you feel the urge to change direction in some respects related to your career. Mars and Pluto are especially giving you tension to make changes. October 11 the New Moon is in Libra and centers around your super spiritual values. This New Moon supports planning a trip which would provide you with some enlightenment. You feel much better off October 26 when the planet Venus re-enters Libra.
The planet Pluto finds tension with this Full Moon making it likely that issues which have been buried, or left unaddressed, rise to the surface at this time.

20 February - 20 March
PISCES [20 February - 20 March }
Pisces is lucky that October begins with the planet Venus turning retrograde in the compatible water sign of Scorpio! This will last until October 26 when the Full Moon moves into Taurus and Venus moves into the sign of Libra. You should note then that Venus will continue to reappear again in the sign of Scorpio December 5. This means from October 26 all through November Venus retrograde has the job of fixing your relationships. The main energy of Venus is the term “values”. So, this is a major period that the planet Venus functions as an audit of your one-to-one relationships. So be receptive to what is shown to you over the next six weeks. As Mercury rules communications and is travelling through the sign of Scorpio all this month you will have the benefit of having your best communication skills to fix any relationship problems and joint ventures. Therefore, both Mercury and Venus will re enforce the importance of people of value in your life and your progress made.
