October 3 launches an important period of reviewing relationships, attachments, money and personal values. Retrograde Venus in Scorpio returns you to the feelings and scenarios that were never fully lived through. A wish may arise to go back to a person, a conversation or a financial decision that was once left unfinished.
What's at play
The Scorpio background makes this review especially deep. Jealousy, fear of loss, dependence on another's reaction and the wish to control closeness may surface. It's important not to read the return of strong feelings as an automatic sign that the past must be brought back literally.
What to watch for
At the same time Mars opposite Pluto creates powerful tension in the theme of will and power. Forceful clashes, battles of character and the wish to prove who controls the situation are possible. Any attempt to push another person through can quickly lead to escalation.
How to use it best
The best use of the period is to look honestly at what exactly you're trying to hold onto and why. Right now you can change a very deep scenario — if you don't spend energy on a struggle for power but use it for inner review.
