Many eclipse points are getting re-stimulated this month as well, and it is good to be aware of these things. The restimulation of an eclipse point can often be as powerful as the actual eclipse itself. Venus, your ruling planet–and thus an important planet for you–re-stimulates eclipse points from the 4th to the 9th and from the 25th to the 28th. Avoid risky activities and be more mindful. Mars re-stimulates eclipse points from the 4th to the 9th and from the 25th to the 28th–the same advice applies. Mind your temper as well–avoid arguments and confrontations. Mars’ re-stimulation can bring weird dreams or ESP experiences which shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Saturn re-stimulates eclipse points from the 26th to 31st. This can bring changes in educational plans for students, and it might be better to reschedule foreign travel around this period.
With health needing watching until the 23rd, and all this eclipse phenomena going on, take it easy this month. Enjoy more quiet time at home. Have fun, but in a relaxed kind of way.
Career, as mentioned, is still very exciting–wonderful things are happening there–but keep your focus on family and their needs now. Work to maintain a state of emotional and domestic harmony. Your career planet retrogrades back into Pisces (where it has been for 7 or so years). It might seem to you that your career is moving backwards instead of forwards–but this is not the case. Many good things are happening behind the scenes. Charity and altruistic activities–as we have seen for many years–are still powerful ways to enhance your career and your public standing.
Your 5th house is powerful all month, but especially after the 23rd. You are in another yearly personal pleasure peak–a fun and creative period. Even money will come to you in happy ways–and there is luck in speculations (I prefer before the 20th than afterwards). Your financial planet makes another one of his retrogrades on the 20th, so try to wrap up important financial decisions or major purchases before then.

Though your career planet is still retrograde and most of the planets are still below the horizon–you are not that ambitious this period–very interesting and dramatic things are happening in your career–perhaps unbeknownst to you, behind the scenes. These seem very happy. There is sudden advancement in store for you. Continue to enhance your career by ‘doing good’ for the world, not just at your job. Again we see sudden financial windfalls for parents or parent figures, and they are likely to be generous with you.
You are still in one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks until the 23rd, but your 6th house of work is also strong. You need a good balance between work and play.
Mercury is retrograde until the 13th, so spend the time reviewing your finances and financial management, and execute on your plans after the 13th. Speculations are still favourable this month, but after the 13th seems better than before. Like last month, money comes to you in happy ways. There is joy in the act of money-making. Often with these aspects a night out on the town with important clients produces more money than hours of tedious work. Sometimes you are at the theatre or a party and make an important financial connection. You are spending more on health this month but can also earn from this field–especially those of you who are investors. Your financial planet in your 5th house also shows that you are spending more on children (or those who are like children to you) or investing in them. But a child can come up with interesting financial ideas as well–or be the motivation or inspiration for greater earnings.
Though your health is good you still seem more focused on health issues this month. Your 6th house is very strong and will get even stronger after the 23rd. Most likely you are into healthy lifestyles or preventative kinds of medicine. You can enhance your already good health by paying more attention to your kidneys and hips (always important for you but especially until the 9th), to your spine, knees, teeth, bones, gallbladder and overall skeletal alignment (important all year), and to your head, face, skull and adrenal glands (until the 14th). After the 23rd focus on your heart as well. Emotional wellness is very important after the 23rd. Probably you will be more involved in the health of family members then, too.
Love is a mixed picture this month. On the one hand, Venus, your ruling planet (and the generic planet of love) moves into your 7th house on the 9th. You are more popular, more social, more proactive in love. You are going out of your way for your friends, spouse or current love. Yet Pluto is still camping out on an eclipse point, so existing relationships are being tested. Singles might be opting to change their marital status–Pluto on the eclipse point signals a dissatisfaction with the current status. Pluto will start to go forward on the 15th after many months of retrograde motion–and love issues will start to clear up.

Last month, on the 15th as Mars moved into Scorpio, the planetary power shifted from the bottom to the top half of your horoscope. Dawn is breaking in your year. You’ve had a good night’s rest for the past 6 months and you are ready to face the day with new energy and enthusiasm. This energy will only increase in the coming months. It’s time to let go of family and emotional issues for a while and start to pursue (implement) your career goals. As we have been mentioning for the past few months, there are dramatic things going on in your career–sudden advancements and successes–happy changes. You are like a rocket ship these days.
Also helping matters is the power in your 6th house of health and work. You are serious, sober, disciplined and hard-working. You are more than willing to earn your success. You are every employer’s dream these days. (Those of you who employ others are attracting serious, hard-working people as well.) The problem now is that you can overdo things. You seem a little bit ‘too’ serious. Lighten up and have some fun as well.
Health is good and you can make it even better in the ways described last month. With your health planet in Scorpio, pay more attention to your colon, bladder and sexual organs. Detox regimes are more powerful than usual now. Good health is not about adding things to the body, but about getting rid of things that don’t belong there.
Venus, your ruling planet, goes retrograde on the 9th–a rare retrograde for her. This could make you feel that you ‘lack direction’–perhaps you feel confused. This is natural. It is only the cosmic signal that you need to review your personal goals and plans. Also a good time to review your health regime and the state of your physical body and personal appearance. Probably there are many things that can be done to improve these things; now is the time to look for them. With your attention all kinds of possibilities and solutions will come to you–and later, when Venus starts to move forward, you’ll be able to implement them. Not a good idea to make drastic changes either to your image or health regime after the 9th. Wait till November 18th when things will be clearer.
Venus’ retrograde is also a good time to review your self-esteem and self-concept. How do you think of yourself? Who do you think you are? What kind of image do you project to others? What can be done to improve things? (Confidence tends to be weaker when your ruling planet is retrograde.) When you upgrade your self-image and self-concept you will also be helping your relationships–we always attract who we are.
