But back to the more day-to-day shifts happening this month. On Sunday, October 13, the divine messenger Mercury slides into intense Scorpio, affecting your 3rd House of Communication. This could lead to fights, dirty talk, or, honestly, both. It’s important to get plenty of sleep while Mercury is in Scorpio, or else you could say something that you regret. The vibe is very passionate.

However, any arguments (even if they come with hot makeup sex) should be resolved by the time the planet of love Venus moves into your cozy 4th House of Family on Thursday, October 17. This transit could see casual hook-ups becoming more serious. And, if you’re in a long-term relationship, you’re reinvigorated with a reminder of why you’re together. If you’re single, celibate, or asexual, know that Venus loves all types of relationships.

There’s also an Aries full moon in Aries lighting up your 8th House of Sex, Death, and Transformation on Thursday, October 17. Honestly, even with Venus in your safety-oriented 4th House, this lunation could lead to even more passionate fights. The good news is that the 8th House is associated with change and clearing, so any disagreements that do occur will be for the sake of getting rid of built-up tension and wiping the slate clean. But still, make sure to get plenty of rest so that cooler heads prevail.

Following this month’s themes of fervor and the need for good sleep to balance such excitement, on Tuesday, October 22, the sun moves into Scorpio. Happy Halloween! We made a list of costumes, if you’re interested. Scorpio is an intense season but a lot of fun. The tarot card associated with Virgo is the Hermit, so just make sure to schedule in alone time and rest so that you don’t get too burnt out. But have fun, and we’ll see you in November.
