October 2022 Horoscope and Love Guide for Every Zodiac Sign

1. LIBRA: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

Happy Libra season! Hope you’ve put the 1st aside for something fun because on this day, Venus in your sign will oppose Jupiter in Aries. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending—especially with a significant other, best friend, or crush. This day is great for fun but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone, so do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

Positive Energy on the 2nd

On the 2nd, Mercury retrograde goes direct, helping you leave some of the confusion from the last month in the rearview. That said, we’re not completely out of the woods till the 16th, when Mercury leaves the retrograde shadow—you can take a big sigh of relief on this day. On the 10th, Mercury will re-enter your sign, so you can expect to arise for you, potentially even conversations that readdress issues that came up in September when the retrograde started. The good news is that this time, you can draw on what you’ve learned over the last few weeks to approach the issue from a new angle.

Challenges will arise

We’re thrown a curveball on the 12th when Mars squares Neptune. This creates conflict between two of your houses. The first is your house of health, work, and routines, and the second is your house of education, publishing/broadcasting, and international travel. If any of your clients are overseas, you need to travel for work, you’re in school, or any other variation of these two houses, you may experience conflict, delay, and confusion.

But that’s not all, because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December. In other words: Don’t expect quick or easy solutions for the next couple months—it will save you a lot of frustration. The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun in Libra and then Venus in Libra. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

Just after, we run into some rough patches on the 19th and 20th when the Sun and Venus square Pluto, and Mercury opposes Chiron. Painful conversations with loved ones, power struggles, or negative self-talk may come up. Do your best to lay low on these days but bring your self-care toolkit just in case.

Positive energy on the 22nd

Things look up on the 22nd when the Sun and Venus team up in Libra. Peace, harmony, creativity, and healthy finances are all possibilities, so arrange meetings and dates accordingly. On the 23rd, your planetary ruler, Venus, enters Scorpio and your house of wealth and self-worth.

The next month is the perfect time to ask for a raise, increase your sense of luxury, and root out any beliefs, behaviors, or people who make you question your self-worth. This will be pushed along by the partial New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th that is lighting up this same house of wealth and self-worth.

There is tremendous creative potential with this Moon, but perseverance is necessary. Something definitely wants to be shed or transformed in your relationship to money or feeling worthy, and because the Moon and Sun are conjunct Venus, the change will affect your close relationships, wealth, or creativity.

New beginnings and transitions

While this elimination or new insight may feel shocking, the astrology is showing that it’s all in service to a greater, long-term vision for your life. Letting go must happen so that you can birth deeper love, greater luxury, a more exciting relationship to your own creativity, and ultimately, a greater sense of self-worth that you will carry with you throughout the coming years.

2. SCORPIO: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

The month kicks off on a high note on the 1st. Venus will oppose Jupiter on this day, which is top-notch astrology for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Barriers and conflicts on the 12th

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: the first, your house of transformation, sorrow, sex, and external financial resources (like loans, for example), and the second, your house of true love, expression, and creativity.

There are a few possibilities here. One, that deep internal changes prevent you from being able to fully express yourself or have fun (maybe as you learn to connect with what’s authentically true for you). Another is that your attempts to partner romantically or conceive will bring heartache, or in general that attempts to connect with pleasure will end up just feeling confusing or addictive. Still another is that creative projects won’t get the funding you were looking for.

Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive Energy on the 17th, 18th, and 22nd

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

On the 23rd, Venus enters your sign, carrying with her lessons of self-worth, affection, creativity, and wealth. These will be a focus for you in the month ahead. The Sun enters Scorpio on the same day, ushering you into the spotlight and energizing you during your birthday season. This is a beautiful day for you! Take advantage of it as best you can.

A new moon on the 25th

A New Moon partial solar eclipse in Scorpio falls on the 25th. Eclipses often bring shocks or quick changes, and for you, it appears this is impacting your appearance, close relationships, income, or creative work.

This Moon comes with tremendous creative potential, and though something does want to be shed during this time, it’s in service to what ultimately wants to be gained. This eclipse is drawing attention to something that has been transforming in your relationship to home and family, in a way that has deeply impacted your mental health.

Whatever changes occur in your home, family, or childhood memories around this day or in the weeks following, know that they are in service to a more strongly sustained income, sense of creativity, or personal identity.

3. SAGITTARIUS: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

Save the 1st for a good time, Sag! On this day, Venus will oppose Jupiter. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good for putting your nose to the grindstone or keeping a regimen. Do your best to reserve this day for fun so you’re not working against the grain.

Because Jupiter is your planetary ruler, this might also look more like a romantic situation or relationship issue coming to a head, a critical financial issue presenting itself, conflict with a woman you know, or fun gone awry. Just be aware and do your best to cruise through the day with a light heart.

Challenges will arise

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled.

That’s the good news. But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses. The first, your house of one-on-one partnerships (best friends, spouses, business partners, therapists, etc.).

And the second, your house of home and family. You may have an extended argument with a roommate or spouse, experience delays in issues surrounding your home, feel confused about where you stand with your business partner, feel unable to work something out with a close family member, etc.

Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive energy will arise

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

Just after, we run into some rough patches on the 19th and 20th when the Sun and Venus square Pluto, and Mercury opposes Chiron. Painful conversations with loved ones, power struggles, or negative self-talk may come up. Do your best to lay low on these days but bring your self-care toolkit just in case.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus are the calm after the storm, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

A new moon on the 25th

A New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th happens in your house of mental health, secrets, witchy practices/spirituality, and hospitals/prisons. Because Venus is conjunct this moon, this will likely affect your income, sense of worth, or close relationships.

As this happens, a grand trine is pointing to an important conversation with a best friend, a communication project with a partner that increases your audience, or an important connection with a community member or networking group.

Perhaps you will partner with someone in your podcast on mental health or tarot, and this will increase your audience. You may learn a helpful secret from a best friend. Or perhaps a helpful connection gets your foot in the door at the health clinic you’ve been wanting to work for.

Whatever the case, there is tremendous creative potential with this eclipse, and it may come through surprises. Ultimately, eclipses ask us to let go so that we can make progress. Whatever you must leave behind, know that it is in service to setting strong foundations for you in the years to come.

New energy will arise

On the 28th, Jupiter reenters Pisces and your house of home and family. Because it will essentially be square to Mars from the moment it enters, don’t expect huge progress in this area until the end of December. But once the holidays roll around, this area will start to receive Jupiter’s blessings once again.

4. CAPRICORN: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

October opens up with a bang on the 1st when Venus opposes Jupiter. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone or trying to be disciplined in any way. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Barriers and conflicts will arise

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses. Your house of communication, writing, neighbors, and siblings, and your house of work, daily routines, and health.

You might find yourself unable to move forward with a writing project for work, get in a fight with a neighbor or sibling that affects your daily routine in some way, or get news about a health issue that you can’t seem to clear up.

Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions to whatever issue arises. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive Energy

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

Just after, we run into some rough patches on the 19th and 20th when the Sun and Venus square Pluto, and Mercury opposes Chiron. Painful conversations with loved ones, power struggles, or negative self-talk may come up. Do your best to lay low on these days but bring your self-care toolkit just in case.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

New moon on the 25th

A New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th is happening in your house of audiences, friends, and networks. With a conjunction to Venus, this eclipse is pointing to a shift in your creative pursuits, income, close relationships, or sense of self-worth.

As an example, maybe a creative pursuit will suddenly gain a large audience and result in an increase in your income. As this eclipse happens, a beautiful grand trine is connecting your house of wealth, your house of work/health/routine, and your house of career. Be aware that a change is coming in these areas, likely one you will like very much!

The nature of eclipses is to push us quickly; that can sometimes feel shocking, and it can require that we let go of things we weren’t prepared to part with. Just remember that these changes are happening to provide you with a strong framework as you move forward in the years to come.

5. AQUARIUS: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

We get the month started on a high note on the 1st when Jupiter opposes Venus. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone, follow rules, or be disciplined. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Challenges will arise on the 12th

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: your house of wealth, valuables, and self-worth, and your house of true love, children, creativity, and self-expression.

You may get in a fight with your children about something you own, feel undervalued by your lover or partner, or find that your creative projects aren’t selling. Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions.

The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive Energy

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

Just after, we run into some rough patches on the 19th and 20th when the Sun and Venus square Pluto, and Mercury opposes Chiron. Painful conversations with loved ones, power struggles, or negative self-talk may come up. Do your best to lay low on these days but bring your self-care toolkit just in case.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

A new moon on the 25th

On the 25th, a New Moon solar eclipse happens in your house of career, legacy, and reputation. This eclipse is conjunct Venus, pointing to a career or reputation change that is closely linked to luxury and wealth, love and affection, beauty, or art.

As this happens, a grand trine is connecting your house of identity; your house of expansion; and your house of true love, children, creativity, and self-expression. You might launch your creative projects into an overseas market in a way that changes how others see you, as an example.

Or you might find that your affections for a lover become much more serious, in a way that changes your reputation (from that of a career-oriented person to that of a family-oriented person, for example).

Positive Energy

There are lots of ways these energies could interact, but whatever happens, remember that the nature of eclipses is to push us quickly. That can sometimes feel shocking and require that we let go of things we weren’t prepared to part with. With your agile mind and swift intelligence, I have every confidence you will be able to adapt to whatever beautiful changes lie ahead.

6. PISCES: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

Life’s a party on the 1st when Venus opposes Jupiter. This is a great day for partying, indulging, going big on crushes, and spending—but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone and stay focused. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Barriers and conflicts on the 12th

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: your house of identity, ego strength, and vitality, and your house of home, family, and childhood. Issues with your family might leave you feeling lost or unsure of yourself, or wounds from childhood may affect your sense of worth as you work through them.

If you’ve been wanting to move or remodel, you will likely experience delays as a result of this transit. Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive Energy

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

New moon on the 25th

A New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th is bringing powerful energy to your house of overseas travel & relationships, broadcasting & publishing, higher education, and spirituality. The Moon is exactly conjunct Venus, which means Venusian themes will be large and in charge: love, wealth, creativity, beauty, and self-worth.

You may fall in love with someone from overseas, make money on a book you’ve published, combine your spirituality with your sense of self-worth, or enroll in a program to study art, for example.

As this happens, a grand trine is connecting your houses of mental health, family/home, and deep change, indicating that as Venus brings her gift to this eclipse, childhood wounds or issues that have affected your home life can be healed now.

More positive energy

There are many ways these houses and celestial bodies can work together, but the truth is that there’s no real way to prepare for what an eclipse has in store. They’re full of surprises and can sometimes feel shocking or require that we release something before we feel ready.

Just know that this eclipse in particular has lovely astrology surrounding it, and that ultimately you will love the changes it brings, even if it feels a bit like a rollercoaster. On the 28th, Jupiter reenters your sign, where it will stay until December 20th. In the coming months, this will be so useful to you in your public image, sense of vitality, and your ego strength.

7. ARIES: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

Save the 1st of the month for blowing off steam, Aries. On this day, Venus will oppose Jupiter. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending—especially with a significant other, best friend, or crush (Venus will be in your house of partnerships)—but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Conflicts will arise

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: Your house of mental health, subconscious thoughts, spirituality, and hospitals/prisons on one side, and your house of communication on the other.

You may suddenly experience negative self-talk, become engaged in conversations that bring up emotional wounds, or hear about a friend or loved one who is in and out of the hospital or jail. Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions.

The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless efforts.

A full moon on the 9th

On the 9th, a Full Moon in Aries is opposing Venus. This is an emotionally difficult Moon. You may feel hungry for affection you aren’t able to get or feel unable to satisfy your own emotional needs.

This is also a transit that can cause people to shop, overeat, or indulge in some way in an attempt not to feel their feelings. That’s the tough news for this Moon. But the good news is that Saturn, Mars, and the Sun/Venus conjunction will be linking up in a grand trine and connecting your house of communication, partnerships (business partners, best friends, spouses), and audiences, friends, and networks.

Perhaps you publish a book or launch a podcast with a partner, and it creates quite the following, or maybe you become romantic with someone from your friend group after they send you a heartfelt email. Whatever the case, this grand trine will have a soothing effect on the Moon’s challenging influence.

Positive Energy

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

A new moon on the 25th

A New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th is bringing powerful energy to your house of deep change, sexuality, sorrow, and external financial resources (loans, inheritances, etc.). This Moon is conjunct Venus, so her themes play a big role: love and affection, wealth, self-worth, and creativity.

Maybe an important relationship will transform the way you think about love and sexuality, maybe you will get a green light on the loan you applied for, or perhaps love will leave you with heartache, but deeply changed.

The good news is that the grand trine that brought such lovely astrology during the Full Moon will be slightly altered but still going strong for this eclipse, and it will repeat the same themes.

New beginnings and transitions

It’s important to remember that all eclipses can feel jolting or shocking, and we may be asked to release something we weren’t prepared to let go of. But the astrology is very clear that this is in service to something you will love even more, and to your long-term well-being. So even if you feel caught off guard by this eclipse, remember that ultimately you will love the changes it brings.

A new, creative work project may land in your lap, or you may find that you’re making a lot more money at the office. You might get a new pet you adore or meet a romantic interest at the doctor’s office. These are just a few possibilities.

As this is happening, a grand trine will connect three of your houses: Your house of identity, healthy ego, and vitality; your house of true love, fun, children, and creativity; and your house of international travel, publishing/broadcasting, higher education, and spirituality.

Perhaps you fly overseas for a work trip and meet someone you fall in love with, or maybe a creative publishing or broadcasting project you’re deeply passionate about receives international notoriety and helps strengthen your identity in your field.

On the 29th, Mercury moves into Scorpio and your house of work, health, routines, pets, and service projects. You can expect these themes to be large and in charge as we move into November.

10. CANCER: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

The 1st comes along with a bang! On this day, Venus will oppose Jupiter, making this a great day for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Barriers and conflicts on the 12th

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: your house of mental health, secrets, witchy practices (tarot, astrology, etc.), and hospitals/prisons; and your house of travel, broadcasting/publishing, higher education, and spirituality.

Maybe your spirituality and mental health are at odds, or maybe secrets you’ve hidden are coming back to negatively impact a publishing project you’ve been working on. There are many ways this can look, but whatever the case, because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions.

The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

Positive Energy

The 17th and 18th are beautiful days when Mars trines the Sun and then Venus. These are excellent days to be with loved ones, achieve goals, and feel appreciated; mark your calendars.

Just after, we run into some rough patches on the 19th and 20th when the Sun and Venus square Pluto, and Mercury opposes Chiron. Painful conversations with loved ones, power struggles, or negative self-talk may come up. Do your best to lay low on these days but bring your self-care toolkit just in case.

On the 22nd, the Sun and Venus team up, bringing peace, harmony, creativity, romance, and healthy finances, so arrange business meetings and quality time with loved ones accordingly.

A new moon on the 25th

A New Moon solar eclipse on the 25th is bringing a big change to your house of true love, children, passion projects, and fun. And because it’s conjunct Venus, Venusian themes like love and affection, creativity, and money will be in the spotlight.

You may fall in love, make money from a passion project, or even get pregnant. As this is happening, a grand trine is connecting your house of hidden things: secrets, mental health, spirituality, witchy practices (astrology, tarot, etc.), hospitals, and prisons; your house of deep change, sorrow, external financial resources, and sexuality; and your house of home and family.

Falling in love and learning you’re pregnant would, again, certainly be one way this energy could come through, or maybe you’ll learn that you have to move and find that it affects your mental health (anxiety, etc.).

More positive energy

There are many ways these houses could interact, but however it looks, it’s important to remember that all eclipses can feel jolting or shocking, and we may be asked to release something we weren’t prepared to let go of.

That said, the astrology is very clear that this is in service to something you will love even more, to your well-being in the long-term. So even if you feel caught off guard by this eclipse, remember that ultimately you will love the changes it brings.

11. LEO: What to expect in October 2022 Monthly Horoscope

Go crazy on the 1st, Leo! On this day, Venus will oppose Jupiter. This is a great day for partying, indulging, and spending, but not good if you need to put your nose to the grindstone. Do your best to reserve this day for a good time so you’re not working against the grain.

On the 2nd, Mercury will go direct, helping you leave confusion and conflict in the background. But don’t get too comfortable until the 16th, when Mercury emerges from its shadow phase, and we can officially tie up any loose ends that Mercury retrograde unraveled. That’s the good news.

Barriers and conflicts on the 12th

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: your house of deep change, sorrow, sexuality, and external financial resources (loans, etc.); and your house of friends, networks, and audiences. You may receive a loan from a friend that puts a strain on your relationship, or maybe a dip in your ratings causes the loss of a business deal.

There are several ways this can look, but however it shakes out, it’s important to remember that because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.

For the next month, if you’ve been looking to move or connect with family, this is a great time! But you may also run into family disputes or issues with your physical home.

A new moon on the 25th

Speaking of, on the 25th, a New Moon solar eclipse is bringing changes to your house of home and family. Because Venus is conjunct this moon, Venusian themes like money, love, and creativity are very much a part of this energy. You may propose or be proposed to, have a heart-to-heart about your childhood, finance your home, or redecorate.

As this eclipse is happening, a grand trine is bringing three of your houses together in harmony: your house of friends, networks, and audiences; your house of partnerships; and your house of communication. You and a business partner from your friend or networking group might go in on a social media app, or maybe you’ll confess your romantic feelings to a close friend in a meaningful talk.

Positive outcomes

Challenges will arise

But this happens just as Mars squares Neptune on the 12th, creating an ongoing conflict between two of your houses: your house of career, reputation, and legacy; and your house of partnerships. You and your business partner might find yourselves in a dispute or sticky situation, or maybe your spouse resents your career and the two of you can’t find middle ground.

Because Mars is preparing to move retrograde and Neptune is currently retrograde, this square will follow us till the end of December, so don’t expect quick or easy solutions. The best you can do right now is expect some setbacks, delays, or challenges in these areas through the end of December, so you’re not wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors.
