Friday, OCTOBER 23

The Sun leaves Libra and enters Scorpio today, and then tonight, aligns with retrograde Venus.

The Sun transits Scorpio from today until November 22nd. Scorpio is a sign of depth, intimacy, and extremes of feeling, and with the Sun in the sign, superficiality or mediocrity will not do!

In the weeks ahead, we’re more likely to prosper through strategy and by knowing when to keep some things to ourselves. Efforts to repurpose, recycle, salvage, and transform can be successful. We’re adept at organizing, researching, investigating, and analyzing. We gravitate to challenges and feel compelled to heal, fix, and direct or manage.

The Sun and retrograde Venus align in the sign of Scorpio tonight, marking the middle of the Venus retrograde cycle and the beginning of a new Sun-Venus cycle. Relationship matters are in high focus, and they can feel fated, emphasizing issues and people from our past. We’re motivated to find some semblance of balance in our relationships and environment.

With the Sun and Venus coming together, we want to impress, charm, smooth over differences, and satisfy others. Still, as a new cycle begins, we may feel symbolically in the dark about our feelings or relationships. It’s a time for redefining what we want and need from our connections, relationships, and pastimes.

The Moon is void until it enters Aries today at 3:54 PM EDT.
