Venus stops in your sign
Mercury enters Scorpio (Wednesday Sep 30, 11:44 UTC). Astrologers link Mercury in your sign with sharper focus and a taste for getting to the point. It suits the conversation you have been rehearsing in your head.
Mercury square Pluto (Friday Oct 2, 20:43 UTC), at 3°07' Scorpio and Aquarius. Pluto is your modern ruler, and this square is read as intensity in words: wanting the last word, or the full truth. A question worth holding: are you trying to understand, or to win?
Venus stations retrograde at 8°29' Scorpio (Saturday Oct 3, 07:16 UTC), in your own sign. Astrologers read Venus turning back here as a personal review of what you want in love, how you present yourself, and what you are willing to pay for, in every sense. Nothing needs deciding this weekend; noticing is enough.
