Opportunities for passion, pleasure, beauty and connection lie ahead.

Pay attention to the subtle shifts happening this week as two planets will be pivoting in the heavens above. The start and end of a retrograde often bring forth a major situation that needs to be reviewed.

Jupiter, our planet of expansion, begins retrograde on Oct. 9 in the skies of Gemini. We’ll feel encouraged to be introspective and open to new opportunities that enhance growth in our lives through Feb. 4, 2025.

Pluto, the planet of transformation, will awaken from a long retrograde on Oct. 11 in Capricorn and remain there until Nov. 19. Then, it won’t return to that zodiac sign for nearly 250 years!

Oct. 6 may have us feeling fired up and feisty, so try to keep your cool and don’t be too impulsive. Oct. 8 is a great time for dating, romantic union and socializing.
