Turning our attention back to what’s happening on a smaller scale, on Sunday, October 13, the divine messenger Mercury shifts into intense Scorpio, affecting your 4th House of Home and Family. While not as tumultuous as the eclipse, this transit could be a little bumpy as it brings any disagreements at home, whether with roommates, partners, or anyone who feels like home, to the surface. While this can be uncomfortable, it ultimately helps you work through unresolved issues to make your home life happier.
If you’re dating or hooking up with someone, prepare for sparks to fly when lover Venus shifts into your pleasurable 5th House on Thursday, October 17. In color magic, red is for passion, and pink is for sweet affection. Venus in your 5th House blends these two energies. Casual hook-ups are infused with feelings and affection, and any long-term stagnant relationships get an injection of passion.
Know that you might feel a bit brooding when the sky lights up with an Aries full moon on Thursday, October 17. Full moons are intense times of manifestation. While this date could lead to a welcome email, it’s more likely that you’ll feel slightly on edge and in need of lots of sleep and self-soothing. It’s a good night for working with tarot cards or connecting with ancestors to seek insight on a matter close to your heart.
And browse some of our Halloween costume ideas because Scorpio season begins on Tuesday, October 22. Leos do love attention, and you’ll get plenty of it.

Just know that for the next few weeks, the sun is in your cozy 4th House, indicating that it’s super important to make time for rest, too. We’ll see you in November.
