You could find yourself tempted to do a review of your contacts list when pleasure planet Venus turns retrograde on October 6. If you’ve surrounded yourself with people who waste your time or take you for granted – or both – now could be the time to critically examine whether you need these people in your life. Before hitting the de-friend button though, turn your focus inward and ask whether you’ve been making your needs and wishes clear to them – or whether there’s been a misunderstanding between you that needs to be resolved.
If that’s the case, this might be your chance to do so.
With Mars firing up your health zone this month, it’s an opportunity to give the boot to any bad habits that have crept into your daily routine. Paying extra attention to your diet and exercise schedule could help you get back on track quickly. Apply the same focus to your work routines and make tweaks and adjustments as required.
October’s New Moon on October 9 is your annual diary note to balance your budget. Try not to be too hard on yourself if money matters have gotten a little beyond your control. By checking in on the situation and being discriminating in regards to your spending, it is possible to bring the situation back into alignment. Rather than attempting to tackle the whole problem at once, use the energy of the New Moon to set some achievable intentions – and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Even if you’re usually reluctant to step too far outside your comfort zone, there could be part of you that wants to experience something beyond your normal routines. If everything has been feeling a bit too mundane, having some fun could be overdue. You don’t need to push yourself too hard, and the timing doesn’t have to be perfect, but trying something beyond your boundaries could be just what you need to renew your faith in life.
