October 6th: VENUS RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO – you need more privacy in your life, especially in your love life. „Give yourself more opportunities for privacy, when you are not bombarded with duties and obligations. Privacy is not a rejection of those you love; it is your deserved respite for recharging your batteries“ (Wayne Dyer)

October 9th: NEW MOON IN LIBRA (Sun conjunct Moon in Libra) – main task is to equilibrate ourselves and to bring more harmony in our lives and in our relationships.

Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well“ (Mahatma Gandhi)

October 10th: MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO – Mercury in Scorpio makes you a great observer, especially when it comes to emotions, desires and interpersonal relationships.
