ARIES 

The Flame in the Darkness  

October draws you into deeper territory, Aries. You may normally prefer to face life head on, but this month asks you to slow down long enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface. Venus turning retrograde in Scorpio can bring questions around trust, intimacy, shared money and powerful emotional attachments back into focus. Something you thought you had dealt with may require another look, particularly within a close relationship or financial arrangement. The Libra New Moon on 10 October shines directly onto your relationship world and could mark an important new chapter in love, partnership or the way you relate to somebody significant. But this is not about losing yourself to keep somebody else happy. It is about discovering where genuine balance exists. As Scorpio season begins, attraction becomes stronger, intuition sharpens and you may find yourself drawn towards people or situations carrying an irresistible air of mystery. Mercury retrograde from the 24th warns you to listen carefully, especially where secrets, promises or money are concerned. Then the Taurus Full Moon on 26 October illuminates your finances and self worth, potentially bringing a money matter, purchase, payment or decision about security to a head. With fiery Mars travelling through Leo, however, your confidence, creativity and appetite for fun remain very much alive. Invitations, romance, parties and spontaneous encounters could make October considerably more exciting than you expected. As Halloween approaches, remember that not everything glittering in the candlelight deserves to follow you home. Trust your instincts, protect your energy and allow yourself to enjoy a little danger without surrendering your power.
