This is a wonderful and intense month. During October, Mercury turns direct, as do Pluto and Saturn, two of the strongest planets. Both major lunations, the Full Moon in Aries—sign of self, ruled by Scorpio’s coruler, Mars—and the Eclipse New Moon, also in Scorpio, connect deeply with the powerful Scorpion.

Yet this doesn’t mean we’ll be repressing our feelings or going it alone. Venus and Jupiter, the kind and great benefics, will keep our heart-light burning, enliven positive connection, make our way sweeter, and maybe even magical. Whether for our independent path or in relationship, the prevailing energies hold great potential. With all this promise and intensity, it’s worth….
