October's gift.. Retrograde Recovery + Who do you Love?

Welcome to a season of intensity, hidden angst, and the murky underbelly of the beast—including the inevitable reappearance of exes.

October delivers a triple-whammy energy blast with both Mercury and Venus retrograding through intense Scorpio, alongside a total of five planets in retrograde motion. This isn’t shared to induce fear; it’s your tactical guide to help you navigate choppy, temporary mayhem, work through shadow areas, and align with your highest timeline.

Please know that anything that comes up is NOT intended to punish, only to help us get clearer on what is in our Highest good! If things are delayed or blocked thats because Blessings are beneath, we are being called on to explore things patiently , curiously but withholding judgement till at least December.

Sometimes Spirit guides, its fine to just be ok in a period of transition without giving into pressure to make snap decisions, form conclusions in a hurry! I do totally understand that in many areas of our daily lives we are conditionined, indeed encouraged to act swiftly... but this period is NOT about that!

The Venus Retrograde Impact

Venus retrogrades only once every 18 months, but she always packs a punch. Beyond relationships and appearance, Venus governs financial abundance.

• The Rule: Postpone major cosmetic surgery, bold style overhauls, and financial speculation.

• The Reality: Hidden animosity and deep feelings may surface—especially when Mars or Pluto stir the pot.

• The Strategy: Resist the urge to react. Hold firm boundaries, keep your cool, and focus on healing and releasing pent-up angst. Deeply private and resistant, Scorpio energy demands self-reflection rather than external drama.

Avoid jumping into new romantic connections now; no matter how magnetic the pull, they rarely last. Expect Uranus to rock the boat in unexpected ways, including around our finances / relationships... so step back from power struggles and prioritize your own inner work.

Libra Transitions & Mercury’s Chaos

When Venus retrogrades back into Libra, expect breakups, shake-ups, and a tug-of-war between heart and head. Legal systems, major frauds, and deceptions will likely dominate the headlines.

Adding to the mix, Mercury joins the retrograde lineup. In Scorpio, expect communication breakdowns, tech glitches, travel snafus, and sharp wars of words. On a global scale, this combination shines a harsh light on hidden secrets, political scandals, and geopolitical tensions.

Cosmic Milestones

• October 10 – New Moon in Libra: A powerful window to heal relational patterns, reclaim inner balance, and advocate for fairness and justice.

• Late October – Full Moon in Taurus: Expect news surrounding food supplies and natural resources.

This lunar cycle invites you to integrate your shadow self with your conscious identity. By acknowledging your fears and uncertainties, you clear karmic sludge, elevate your soul journey, and invite genuine healing into your relationships.
