*VENUS RETROGRADE HOROSCOPES: The Area of Life You Must Rebalance. Release. Rebuild.

0:09 So I'm sitting here reading extra butterflies. Newsletter they just sent out about Venus retrograding. Did you guys know that first of all, Venus is going retrograde for 40 days from October 3rd to November 14th, but the 40-day period is one of humanity's oldest symbols for rebirth. I didn't know that.

0:32 I feel like I've read it before, but I forgot. In religious text, and this is straight from Astro Butterfly, the way they break Venus retrograde down, highly recommend following them. They're awesome. In religious texts, 40 days marks a period of spiritual transition or cleansing. In the flood with Noah, the rain falls for 40 days and 40 nights.

0:53 Moses spends 40 days on Mount Sinai. In folklore and magic, 40 days is also a period of time for breaking a curse, going through a major spiritual transformation. Here's a part that blew my mind. Even the word quarantine, quad, quar, comes from this 40-day period because during the plague era, European port cities began requiring ships suspected of carrying disease to remain isolated before people and cargo could come ashore.

1:22 The Italian quaranta means 40, which gave us the word quarantine. Oh my gosh. That is fascinating, and that is the period that collectively, you and me, we're going in this together. We're about to go into 40 days of quarantine in our hearts. Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode, the episode you've been waiting for.

1:47 Venus Retrograde Horoscopes. I'm not going to spend too much time discussing what this Venus retrograde is. We gave it its own episode back in the archives. That was on September 8th, called Venus and Scorpio. Start preparing for retrograde now so you don't repeat 2018. This is kind of part two of that episode, which is the horoscope forecast.

2:09 But essentially, Venus, planet of love, values, relationships, is turning backwards in the sky, making nearly the same exact retrograde that she did in October and November of 2018. Do every sort of historical exercise you can to see how are you feeling? What was going on? Where were you at in life? Who were you in love with?

2:32 Who were you falling out of love with? Were you making any money? What moves did you make to make money? What did you spend your money on? What did you value? Were you looking at yourself and saying, my self-worth really needs some TLC? Or were you taking someone or something in your life for granted and not fully valuing it?

2:49 Take a good look because we are repeating that transit very closely this time around in 2026. Now, before we get into these horoscopes, visit the website astrology-lounge.com to purchase merchandise, book a reading with me to look exactly at what's going on, this Venus retrograde. I think we have some uh availability in mid-November to late November, so we can at least meet when Venus is still in her shadow to discuss what is going on, how can I best handle this.

3:16 I always think it's really cool to do readings during a retrograding because the first thing, since I know that these are kind of shadowing Libra and Scorpio season, the first thing I do is look at where it's happening on your chart to say, hey, what's going on? The revising, the rethinking of our values, money, and love in this area of life for you.

3:32 So astrology-lounge.com, tons of cool resources to take your astrology education off the airwaves and bring it to your house, like through flashcards or merchandise or books. I have a book. I don't promote it enough. It's called It's Just a Face. Journaling with the Moon. Get it on Amazon. It's awesome.

3:50 You can learn how to just glance at whatever sign the moon is in for the day and base her day off of that and keep going. Go get your coffee, go get your tea, move on to work. Let's go. That's why I created that book. So everything's on the show notes. Check it out. Venus goes retrograde on October 3rd at 8 degrees Scorpio.

4:09 Do you have any placements there? What about 8 degrees Taurus or Aquarius or Leo? You Leos are still breaking my contact form. I love it. This will affect you, or you may feel it the most. And when I say affect, I don't want you to go, no, gasp, uh-uh-uh-uh. I think retrogrades are rewards. Revise, revisit, rethink, reward.

4:34 A reward. If a retrograde hits that, at least this is how I look at it, because I am someone who's willing to face the shadow of things, look at the ugly side of myself, of people, I have no problem making really tough decisions and telling myself, uh, just push through, you can do this, because what's on the other side of it is usually empowerment, strength, taking everything in life not for granted and enjoying it.

4:57 So bring it on, let's go, bring on the hurricane because the ocean's always clearer after let's go. That's kind of my mentality motion of the time. Uh, and so if there is a retrograde placement right on something like that, reward, okay. I might have to get out of my comfort zone for a little bit or think outside the box or take advice from someone I don't normally take advice from.

5:15 I don't know. Depends on what the planning and the placement is, but that means there is an opportunity there for me to be rewarded. So this retrograde starts at eight degrees Scorpio and it will reverse all the way back to 22 degrees Libra. If you have any Scorpio placements or Libra placements between those late degrees and early degrees of Scorpio, pay attention to this.

5:35 And for everyone else, just look at the house that is ruled by those two signs. As we'll get into with the horoscopes, this is the area where you're being asked to revise to get rewarded. Um, Mercury is also going to join the party on October 24th. Did you catch that on the previous episode? Astrology of October.

5:55 Mercury will go retrograde at 20 degrees, Scorpio. So we're used to Mercury in the microwave, right? It happens three times a year, every year. A lot of people are born during a Mercury retrograde, but I thought it was interesting that it's kind of layered onto this Venus retrograde right in the middle of it, where that Scorpio-rolled area of our chart is seriously getting reverse-engineered.

6:18 So you can be rewarded in that area of your chart. All right. So when we do these horoscopes, this is all I'm gonna look at. I'm not gonna bring in any aspects, make it diluted. I'm gonna be very frank and blunt with the Libra house in your chart and the Scorpio house in your chart. For example, Aries risings have a Libra seventh house and a Scorpio eighth house.

6:41 Very clearly, they are going through issues around intimacy, trust, power issues. Um, seventh and eighth house, Taurus risings, sixth house, seventh house. Do you like the people you see and work with every single day? Do you like the people you live with? Is there something about relationships where you are giving too much and it's time for you to say enough?

7:03 That's how we're gonna do these things. So, with that said, you guys know what we do. The rising sign will hold the most accuracy. I understand not everyone knows their birth time down to the minute, which is what is required to get that ascendant to the exact degree, which makes the houses that we're gonna talk about.

7:22 If you don't know it, go straight to your sun sign. Of course, it's what all these planets orbit around. It is your identity. However, if your life seems pretty good, pretty cool, pretty calm, but internally something is brewing and changing that's quiet and within, and really you're the only person that knows it and feels it.

7:38 Listen for your moon sign. There's accuracy in that as well. But first, rising if you know it, second, sun, always, and third, the moon. And since we're talking about the two zodiac signs that represent relationships, I mean, Libra is love, relationships, fairness. Scorpio is depth, intimacy, sex, really tight-knit relationships.

7:58 The house ruled by Libra in your chart is where the review is really showing up. The great transformation, what you're being asked to permanently change, is the Scorpio ruled house. Now, I think I'm gonna incorporate the Libra new moon that's on October 10th, because it's just right in the meat and potatoes of this transit, as well as the Taurus full moon on October 25th, because that's kind of intertwined with Mercury going retrograde.

8:28 So we might pull in your Taurus ruled house as a little, hey, there's a culmination in this area of life that you're done, it's over, and it started back in May. So let's begin with sign of the hour, Aries rising. As I said, this Venus retrograde is going through your seventh house of marriage, relationships, divorce, all connections, rule by Libra, and Scorpio rules your eighth house of great change, transformation, intimacy, trust, and shared finances is a huge one with this as well.

9:03 So, Aries, you guys have Saturn going through that first house, really forcing you to grow up and mature, which you guys like to have your foot on the gas. And Saturn coming through that first house of yours is not always your most uh favorable transit. It forces you to slow down, it pulls your impulse back a little bit, which when that's your default setting, it could really feel like your hands are tied behind your back.

9:24 And now you've got the relationship. Something about a marriage, a relationship to a caregiver or a parent or a sibling, maybe it's your children. There's something that's really throwing gasoline on the fire of feeling stuck. So, Aries, you guys could be reviewing during this 40-day Venus retrograde whether your relationships are actually equal.

9:45 Who compromises more? Who initiates apologies or connection more? This could be as simple as you going, I always call this friend, I always set our plans. Do they even like me? Because they never reach out and try and initiate something. Who keeps the peace at their own expense? Where have you lost yourself to a marriage or a divorce?

10:04 You may realize that something you have been calling a relationship or a partnership has quietly become radically out of balance. So the Libra new moon on October 10th will hit your seventh house. So there is a new moon opportunity to begin again here. This could be a new relationship. If you're currently in a relationship, this could be turning over a new leaf.

10:25 But it could just as easily mean new rules within an existing relationship. You're planting a seed for a healthier definition of what it means to be in partnership, whether it's business, love, relationships. If this is like with your children, this could be, hey, I know I was pretty relaxed on these rules in the past, but that's changing today.

10:44 It could be something like that as well. Although the first definition of the seventh house is typically a romantic marriage, union, partnership. Now, Scorpio rules your eighth house. And so Venus moving through Scorpio says, now go deeper. The relationship itself may not need to die, but an old way of relating, of having sex, or your discussions around sex in that type of intimacy, or how you share finances needs to be discussed.

11:10 It has to be Scorpio's favorite word, dead. It needs to die. This could also be a business partnership. Maybe you're not paying someone fairly, or they you work for someone, you don't feel like you're getting paid fairly, and you need to have a discussion around those things. So this could mean completely changing how you share money, your body for sex and intimacy, vulnerability, how you share deep emotions, how you pay off debt, and what's going on with some shared finance with credit cards, student loans, mortgages, debt, or emotional power, power plays, manipulation, using kids as a pawn, or pets or money as a pawn.

11:48 Like those things are coming up for a review and they've got to stop. They've got to die. And around the Taurus, full moon, in your second house of earned income, natural talents, and your self-worth, something may finally become very illuminated and really crystal clear about your own worth, about how you make money, what your needs, and honestly, what type of person you really value.

12:10 It's a reminder that intimacy with another person should never require losing your own stability, whether that's financial stability, sexual autonomy, um, relationships shouldn't require manipulation just to get them to see how they hurt you. It should never require you to lose yourself and question your reality.

12:30 I mean, you know, gaslighting, these are some big words because it's the eighth house. So, Aries, I will wrap it up with this. Can the relationship you're in or the relationships you have become deeper without you abandoning yourself? Is there a relationship in your life that you would like to completely transform?

12:50 Is there debt with a partner, a business partner that you would like to pay back? Is there an investor that you would like to invest in, a business idea? There's something about relating one-on-one that's requiring a brand new you. You have Saturn in your first house as your guiding principle. That's actually luck when you look at it through the lens of okay, I'm impulsive, whatever, but I'm no longer, I'm not letting my anger define my relationships.

13:16 I'm learning about how I act impulsively or how I express anger within all different sorts of relationships. And I am now channeling that anger into something more healthy and something that can be manifested as drive and ambition rather than fracturing my connections. So, Aries Rising, I really like this for you.

13:39 I'm a Scorpio moon. I like the seventh and the eighth house activated together because pretty much maybe you're a single Aries rising listening to this. You're like, I don't know how, if you're single and you don't want to be, this could be what has your view around intimacy and money been? And dive really deep into it for these 40 days.

13:58 Why did I let people do this? Why am I afraid of sharing finances with someone? Why am I afraid of having sex with someone? Why am I afraid of letting someone in again? Why am I afraid that I'll be single for the rest of my life? What does that mean on a deeper sense? Because you know you won't. What does that mean on a deeper sense?

14:14 This Venus retrograde is asking you to go there. Remember, reflect back on October and November 2018 with these same exact themes because there is a clue of something coming back up to be revisited, revised, and remember, getting a great reward. Aries, your reward could be a wonderful new partnership or rekindling a current one that needed some TLC.

14:39 And you guys could emerge as a power couple. Or if you're single, this could be a really solid business partnership with a brand, with an investor. It's it's a really cool, it's a delicious one to get rewarded with. So play your cards wisely, Aries. You've got Saturn on your side. So use this because you might be very happy with love, sex, and money by the time all is said and done.

15:00 Aries, come see me if you need me. Astrology-lounge.com. Taurus Risings. Hello, my fellow Taurus Risings. Guys, this Viennes Retrograde is very important for us. Come in for a huddle. I've got snacks and cozy blankets going. Come in for a huddle. Alright, guys, listen. Venus is our chart ruler. What does that mean?

15:20 We're a Taurus Rising. The ascendant is the first house, it's the front door to our castle. Okay. There's a bodyguard to everyone's front door to their castle. And for us, it's Venus because Taurus is ruled by that beautiful planet Venus. That's why Taurians love luxury charcuterie boards, because of how beautifully the food is decorated.

15:42 We eat slow and we eat a lot because boy, is that a simple indulgence. Venus. Okay. So when our chart ruler goes retrograde, we're essentially called to the front of the class. So I really want you to go back in your mind, Taurus Risings. And I want you to think of October and November 2018, especially around who you were dating, because yes, our seventh house is being pulled into the equation.

16:08 But also, how was your health? Do you have any weird health stuff coming up? What was your relationship to pets and animals like? Did you lose a pet, gain a pet? And most importantly, what did your average Tuesday look like? All of those things are up for review. Let's get into it. The Libra sign, which is going to be our sixth house, is our daily life.

16:33 That is what is up for a review. Taurus, we rule being comfortable. We need to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone in order to go seek and find the comfort we really want. The Taurus rising predicament is we have staying power, which is equally our blessing as it is our curse. We will stay in jobs, in relationships, in living situations until it absolutely pulverizes, disintegrates our soul, simply for the fact that we believe and tell ourselves that that is where we are most comfortable.

17:07 I can't tell you how many Taurus, sun, moon, or risings will stay in a marriage or partnership because they are terrified of I won't be able to go to the spa if I have to start paying for all my own things. I won't be able to buy all the Whole Foods groceries if I have to now afford my own groceries without the help of a partner or living person.

17:28 No, I'd rather die. And die a slow death, I will. So this is what is coming up for review, Taurus Risings. Where have you ignored how frustrated and tired and maybe even sick you are on the average Tuesday because you're ignoring that something in your relationships is not working? The Scorpio transformation is your seventh house of marriage and relationships.

17:57 A lot of Taurus risings may go through a separation during this time period. A lot of Taurus risings may go through a complete death and rebirth of a current relationship. If you are currently in one and this resonates with you, I'm not saying your relationship is over. In fact, I actually don't encourage you to permanently sever one.

18:18 If you need to take a break from one, it's more than likely that it's not over and you need to clean something up or have a further conversation or something else may come to light that makes you think differently towards it. But I would, if you are in a relationship that you're like, yeah, I definite my day today is getting so stressful and high intensity that I don't care if I can afford Whole Foods, groceries, and the super soft robe.

18:42 I'm out of here. It may mean just a temporary break from someone you're with. And so maybe it's going to see family or going on a trip. I don't know, just getting a little break so that you can see things clearly. Like I shared in the beginning of this episode, um, Venus is notorious for 40 days quarantine.

19:02 I can't encourage you enough to go live temporarily in a space that is all yours, that is cozy, quiet, and safe, where there's a bathtub and you can cook slow dinners. Because I think through that act or moving in with someone who has energy like that for you, it doesn't have to be alone. I think if there's something you're struggling with, health-wise, relationship-wise, that that little bit of isolation and self-care will give you so much clarity.

19:30 So, Taurus, look at the life you're living every ordinary Tuesday. I pick that day because it's just the most random blad day, right? Your routines, your workload, your health habits, your coworkers, and the relationships with them are coming up under review. The responsibilities at home, who is doing what around the house, who is not helping you around the house, all of these things are coming under review.

19:53 Who is not helping you with caretaking, the children, the pets? Something is simply not sustainable anymore with caregiving, the daily routine, or relationships with coworkers and what you do for a living. So October 10th, we have a Libra new moon in our sixth house. This lets us begin creating that daily life that is more balanced, peaceful, and calm.

20:14 This is a new routine, a new schedule, um, a new work arrangement, maybe to get away from a toxic coworker or take space from them. So, Taurus, if you like go to the office and you want to work from home a little bit more, this is actually a really good time to introduce that idea to someone higher up and see if it flies.

20:32 It probably will. A way of caring for yourself differently can begin around this October 10th time frame. This could be when a lot of you take a little sabbatical where you book an Airbnb or you remodel your home or you get a little space on your property that is just yours where you can go have those Venusian qualities of peace, comfort, happiness, joy, just Venusian music, plants, animals, tea, cookies, all those things.

21:01 And the realization of oh my gosh, I feel so good in this little space for the first 48 hours that can show you. Wait, I got so stuck in my day-to-day routine that I didn't realize how much that person's energy was affecting me, my health, my mind, my mental, my spiritual. So this leads directly into the Scorpio ruled seventh house of marriage, relationships, partnerships, and divorce and separation.

21:32 Scorpio in that seventh house says a partnership you have may need to fundamentally evolve. Maybe the relationship survives beautifully through this retrograde, but the roles you've been playing within that relationship cannot. This could literally be we cannot keep living like this. If we're staying together, something has to change with both parties, not just the other, but you as well.

21:56 Where can there be more balance? So then the Taurus full. Moon on October 24th. Is that right? 25th on October 25th. Lands in your first house, our first house. This is very personal, especially if you are a zero to five degree Taurus rising. This is right on that ascendant. Something about who we are becomes impossible to ignore.

22:21 Maybe your physical body gets so healthy from this little break or making your home private and cozy for yourself around that Libra new moon. Maybe something with your health comes to light, which is a good thing. I'm not saying a bad thing, a good thing. And you're like, oh my gosh, I used to have migraines every day at 3 p.m.

22:39 But when I went to live with by myself for a week, I didn't have them. Hold on, hold the phone. You might realize you've changed and your relationships and routines now have to accommodate the person you've become. Or it could be, it could be that a health issue gets diagnosed around that time. And it's nothing scary or sad, but it could be like, hey, here are people I live with or here daily routine, here coworkers.

23:04 This has made me sick and I can no longer live this way. And so I'm removing myself. So I love the Taurus full moon for us in our first house. It is a culmination of confidence. It is a culmination revealing a new beginning, turning over a new leaf with nobody else involved but you. So Taurus Risings, this is a very personal retrograde.

23:24 It could be that you leave this retrograde 40-day period feeling so much better and balanced at work, who you work with. You could be just feeling so burnt out with caregiving pets and kids that by the end of this, you ask your spouse or whoever you live with or family members, like, hey, I need help.

23:43 I'm drowning here. I need a little help. And if they step up, this is a beautiful, probably a time in your relationship to whoever you're thinking of right now, where you're like, this is when it all changed. And it's true. Let's just lay it out where it is. This could be the beginning of a separation.

24:01 I don't think it is one that is severed and permanent and done, and you never talk to this person again. But if they don't rise to the occasion, then yes, this could be a time where you're like, yeah, that that was when it all crumbled, and then it slowly finished itself until the end of March retrograde, next April.

24:18 Or this could be when you and someone completely rekindle your relationship and you turn over a new leaf and it feels so much stronger. And you're extremely thankful for this Venus retrograde. A lot of people talk about exes coming back into their life during a Venus retrograde and Taurus Risings. That is probably next to your next to your neighbor Aries.

24:40 This is probably, yeah, no, you're the number one sign because Scorpio rules your seventh house, and that's where this retrograde is starting. So I want to tell you guys if an ex-lover from the past creeps in, it's probably just a test on ah, how much do you value yourself now? What are your standards?

24:57 What are your values? How are you going to respond to this? It's very typically not a time where if someone creeps up during a Venus retrograde, it's an omen of it's not meant to last. There's just something that needs to be revised, reviewed, and then finished permanently. And then the last thing I'll say is Venus retrograde rewards.

25:16 So, Taurus, your reward, should you show up and rise to this occasion, is a really delicious, rich, comfortable home life and a partner that you feel really supports you and has your back through time, which at the end of the day, when romance fades and our bodies age, that's what it's all about is having a life partner that helps you.

25:39 So, Taurus, that's what could be your reward for this. Come see me if you need me. I'm going through it right there with you. Visit astrology-lounge.com. Gemini Risings, how are you guys? How's Uranus transiting that first house, huh? Does it feel good? Do you feel liberated? Are you like, what is going on in my life?

25:59 Whoa, everything's turned upside down. What's going on with your relationships? Are they fun, wacky, and quirky? Or are they, well, are they just not supporting this new person that you are? Are you realizing they were great for a season, but not for a lifetime? Come see me if you need help with it. Geminis, Venus retrograde is beginning in your fifth house.

26:19 Well, it's beginning in your sixth house of Scorpio, and it's moving backwards into your fifth house that is ruled by Libra. What is going on? Ooh, the Libra review, that fifth house. Joy, romance, creativity, fertility, children, Gemini Risings. If you are in the field of pregnancy, trying to conceive, this is an awesome time for diagnostic testing and working with physicians to discuss your fertility goals.

26:46 If that's not something for you, then this could be a time of romance and dating. You may be excited of hot off the heels of a fresh divorce or a breakup because of that opposition to your seventh house and your dating, and you're like, whoa, look at all these people, but also, oh, this is how people date nowadays.

27:03 I'm not a fan. Nobody wants to talk and have a conversation, and that's the bread and butter of my chart. You gotta flirt with my mind before my body. Come on. Sixth house. Scorpio rules that for you. And this is your everyday life. Your day-to-day routine is the sixth house. So again, sixth house is also uh medical procedures.

27:25 So if fertility is a concern for you, this is a good omen to revise or review a medical procedure that involves children. Uh, maybe you already have a child that may need a little blood work done or something with a physician, and that's taking up your Venus time, and it really shows you what you value in life, the little things like having your family members healthy during a Venus retrograde in the fifth and sixth house.

27:48 But this is also a creativity and self-expression axis. So this could manifest in one of a few ways. It could be that you have a child or children and you are just like, oh my gosh, I'm overwhelmed. I'm having panic attacks, analysis, paralysis, ADD through the roof. I need a break. I need help. I got to revise the day-to-day routine with my children.

28:09 If that is not the case, then this is as an artist. If something you do involves creativity, then you are starting to think, where in my life can I make more room for creativity and fun. You guys during this Venus retrograde are reconsidering what actually makes you happy. Old romance, an old creative project you want to pick back up, an old hobby you haven't done in a while, any dreams surrounding children if you don't have them yet or want them, or simply a version of yourself that used to know how to have fun, how to play.

28:43 All those things could return for examination. I think a lot of Gemini risings, especially with Uranus in your first house, are just having that. Whoa, where did I lose myself? Life just got boring. Life just got too much of like, wake up, go for a jog, drink my green smoothie, go to work. I don't know if I like what I do anymore.

29:02 Okay, I don't even know if I like my partner anymore. Oh, geez. My life just feels so unfulfilling. And as a Gemini rising, I thought I was supposed to have fun and flirt and talk to people and see the world and travel. What's going on with me? The Libra new moon on October 10th falls right in that fifth house of joy, children, creativity, self-expression, romance.

29:24 This asks you to plant a new seed around joy, around those fifth house themes. A new love, a new project, a new way to have fun. Um, this is a beautiful wish for a baby to get pregnant, or a new way to relate to your current children. Simply giving yourself permission to enjoy life again. Start over.

29:43 Now, Scorpio ruling that sixth house, Venus going retrograde here takes what you discover around reassessing and reviewing those topics and asks you to build a completely different life around it. Your schedule, your work, your habits, your health, and your diet. Like if you're a Gemini rising thinking about fertility and children, conception, then this Venus retrograde is saying, okay, well, have you been taking vitamins?

30:09 Have you considered doing acupuncture? Have you thought about losing a little weight before you step into that? Like, that's a lot on your body. How's your health, your diet? Can you quit drinking now so you don't have to wait for then? Um, if it's a creative project, if you're a Gemini Rising, it's like I want to create a book or a podcast or I want to paint or write music again, sing again, then it could say, okay, well, where are you scrolling all day?

30:33 Are you sitting on social media for an hour? Do you know what you could do with an instrument in an hour every day? It's like not sexy and not fun, but it's asking you to audit your entire day around what how you want to have more fun, if that makes sense. It's like all of those sixth house things, your schedule, daily responsibilities, they have to change because you can't keep saying something matters to you or crying about I don't have fun anymore while giving it zero room in your actual life.

31:04 And Gemini risings. I love you guys, you're one of my favorite descendants. But you guys have the information addiction like no other sign I've had. Uh, I'll be an astrologer after one more class, one more reading, one more book, one more podcast, one more thing. And so I know social media and the short form content should be illegal for Virgo placements, Gemini placements, because it hooks you guys, line and sinker.

31:29 And it's not fair because you guys are just bridging heaven to earth with your creativity and your intelligence. And we need you to write books. We need you guys to be creating the content that you're stuck taking in every day. And so, uh, it makes me mad when it just sucks you guys in and you're like, shit, it's eight o'clock.

31:46 I gotta make dinner for the kids, and uh, I'm not having fun anymore. I just have anxiety and I get stuck taking in all this information that I'm not even applying to my daily life, and now I'm miserable because I'm watching people travel while I'm not doing it. Ugh. The Taurus full moon on October 25th lands in your 12th house.

32:05 This is the house of subconscious. This is the house of, okay, if I'm falling victim to doom scrolling, why? Why do I feel like I need to veg out? Why am I allowing myself to be a user of this drug of short form content? This could bring an ending or a realization behind the scenes of answering those exact questions.

32:26 An old emotional pattern, an old attachment style, or simply just an old chapter around self-worth and finances and finding grounding in your life, may finally be ready to release. Think back to the Taurus new moon on May 16th. Could be a correlation here. So, Gemini Risings, your Venus retrograde question.

32:44 Does the way I spend my days reflect what I love? Can't say you love to go rollerblading and not spend a single minute a day going rollerblading. You can't say, Oh, I used to love to paint. I was so good at painting. Look at this painting I made when I was 18. Okay, do you paint anymore? Why? I don't have time.

33:02 Yes, you do. And this Venus retrograde is asking you to do that because Gemini, what your reward, remember, we are revising, rethinking, reassessing to get a reward could be is pregnancy, of course. What your reward could be is a new romance that feels so fun and exciting, and your heart just shines again.

33:26 And the best reward that you guys could get is doing what you love every day and feeling alive again. And you might even make money from it. We'll see. Gemini's come see me. Visit astrology-lounge.com if you want to go over this on your chart together. I'm always here for you. And thank you so much for choosing to listen because I know you guys are picky with the podcast you listen to.

33:47 Cancer risings, my moon babies. Hello. You guys have this Venus retrograde going through your fourth house and your fifth house. Children, family, where you live, your legacy, who you call home, where you call home, how you feel about having fun, about romance, or has your ego been preventing you from finding the security and emotional stability that your chart yearns for?

34:19 Libra rules your fourth house, and Scorpio rules your fifth house. So this is exactly the axis that Venus is going to ask you to reassess, revise, rethink for the next 40 days. And you guys could re-emerge getting rewarded with where you physically live. Some of you could be finishing a home, buying a home, selling a home, moving, or you could be rewarded with a pregnancy or a child.

34:44 If you already have a child, it could be a child moving into the home or something about feeling closer to a child. If none of those things are true for you, then this is just getting very anchored in healing the past so that your ego doesn't run the show and it can be expressed through a more healthy lens, and you can find fun, joy, and excitement in the little things in life again.

35:09 This is pretty cool. So a lot moving for you guys. This is a pretty personal axis, the fourth and fifth house. The Libra review takes place with home and family, and the Scorpio transformation, since that's a sign this retrograde begins in, is in joy, fertility, creativity, and children. You guys are going back to the roots.

35:28 Home, family, your parents, your relationship or lack thereof to your parents. What patterns are you repeating? What needs to stop? Your childhood, your living arrangements are coming up for review, your emotional security is coming up for review. This is a really personal retrograde for you guys. I can't encourage you enough to dive deep into October 2018.

35:50 What was going on with love, sex, romance, children, and where you physically called home? What decisions back then do you regret that you'd like to not repeat now? What do you regret about not doing back then that you would like to do now? You guys are examining where peace exists or where you haven't allowed peace to set up shop in your home, your body, and where you've been maintaining peace rather than actually feeling peaceful, where you've just been carrying on and pushing through, ignoring the undercurrent of what the feeling at home actually is.

36:29 So, Cancers, you have the Libra new moon on 1010, October 10th, in your fourth house. Because this is your IC axis, see if it's at 17 degrees or around then. This is a very personal new moon for you. Remember, you guys are ruled by the moon. So this is a really big deal for you guys. This offers a fresh start involving your physical living space, your home, a fresh start for your family, current family, or planned family, or just simply how you feel inside.

36:58 Your emotional foundation, something once balanced within. You guys are learning as Cancer Risings to balance those big feels, to not project and blame other people for how you feel, but instead get curious about why does this person make me feel this way and how can I react responsibly is such a huge lesson for Cancer Rising.

37:19 And of course, family, ancestry, go back in your history and see how have I acted like my mom, how have I acted like my dad. It's always important for you guys to reframe because if you look at your parents and you don't like how they're living, you better really do a serious audit of yourself because you may find yourself waking up when you're 55, 60 years old, living the carbon copy life of how they are.

37:42 So sorry, I'm losing my voice. I'm dealing with the cold over here. You guys are simply you're planting a seed in your emotional body and where you physically call home. And whatever comes up around that time, it changes how you approach the Scorpio-ruled fifth house. Scorpio in the fifth can profoundly death and rebirth transform your relationship to ego, jealousy, possessiveness with romance, possessiveness over your romantic partners, creativity, pleasure, children, or even the possibility of parenthood.

38:18 So for a lot of you, fertility, parenthood, whether it's uh pregnancy or children that are already here, something about the living situation and how you emotionally feel grounded is hugely up for review under this. There's many ways it could turn out, but I know that Saturn is up in your 10th house, so this is less career and more.

38:41 What do I want to leave behind? You guys may be starting to realize that I work so hard to accomplish and achieve something outside of the house, but this Venus retrograde is showing me that the real legacy lies within my four walls. It's like you guys are such go-getters. So many of you are very successful entrepreneurs and athletes, and you have all these incredible ideas on how to heal the world.

39:07 But have you healed yourself and have you asked the people that you live with if they feel healed and comfortable around you? That's your Venus retrograde, is making sure you're not neglecting pregnancy, children, mothers, women you're in relationships with. That's a fourth house. Because something about it maybe it needs rebalancing.

39:32 The way you love your family needs balancing here. Something about what makes life worth living. May you may emerge looking at that or answering that question in a completely different light by the end of these 40 days. Now then we have the Taurus full moon. It's a big deal for you guys on October 25th in your 11th house.

39:53 Okay, I like this. This is the house of hopes and dreams, your community, what you want for yourself, your future that you've imagined for yourself. You may suddenly see which people and what dreams still belong in that future and which ones you really value, or which ones you were just telling yourself you value.

40:12 So, Cancer Risings, your Venus retrograde question is what would I choose if I stopped building my life around everyone else's comfort? What do I choose when I ground my emotions and I center myself? Not when I'm emotionally reactive and feeling really big feels, but when I'm feeling calm, what is my truth?

40:35 I can't encourage you guys enough to get it like a little weekend away from family or obligations to get very anchored in what your truth is. And now, once that truth is revealed to you, do you go home and act like it wasn't? Or do you go home and make some big changes that alter the entire direction of your life around that truth?

40:54 In Cancer Risings, I'll leave you with this. There is a reward at the end of this retrograde, all the R E words. And your reward is one of my favorites of the entire zodiac horoscopes. And it is, it could be a pregnancy because it's the fourth and fifth house, it could be an expansion of your family, it could be a better relationship to a child you currently have, like an adult child or a young child.

41:17 It could be feeling much more anchored, valued, and loved at home. It could be realizing that you really value the connections that you've created, or you simply recognize how you want to, what type of family you want to create for yourself, or what type of space you want to call home. And when our fourth house is anchored and we feel loved and valued, every other house just shines.

41:46 And so Cancer Risings, pay so much, do as best as you can to pay attention to what comes up during this 40-day period because it's really setting the foundation for the rest of your life and every single other house, your future in your marriage or a future partnership, your health, your relationships, to co-workers, to friends, your travel, your career, everything.

42:10 This is a really personal retrograde for you. And all you have to do is feel it. Feel it, process it, and use that cardinal energy to make really big, mature decisions around it. And you guys just have like Ten of Cups energy over the rainbow, waiting for you guys at the end of this. So, Cancer Risings, don't go at this alone.

42:28 Come find me at astrology-lounge.com if you'd like to look at this Venus retrograde on your chart personally. Good luck. All right, Leos, gather around. Let's talk about this Venus retrograde on your chart, where you're doing the Libra review, where you're being asked to radically transform and change, where something's gotta die, where you have had enough.

42:50 It's your third and your fourth house. The area of communication and home, your emotional body, but also where you physically live. You are doing the Libra review in that third house, communication and mindset. And the Scorpio fourth house transformation is simply relationships to home and family within yourself and also external with the people you live with or people you are related to.

43:15 Now, the third house is heavily focused on siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles fall into this as well. So this could be a conversation with a sibling is coming up for a review, but it's also your local environment where you live. Perhaps you're listening to this and you're thinking, I need to change where I live because I just don't fit in my local environment anymore.

43:34 So review the conversations during this Venus retrograde that you've been having and the ones you've been avoiding, your mindset. You guys are reconsidering how you communicate, how you think about conversations, how you make decisions on big things, how you handle again, siblings or family members, or how you navigate your immediate environment.

43:54 The third house is the house of neighbors as well. So again, there's a huge review coming up on I've got Jupiter. My first house. I'm feeling loud and proud, but do I fit in this small community anymore? Is this really where I want to live? Can I grow here? And remember, this begins on October 3rd and lasts to mid-November.

44:11 So this is your time frame to reassess these things to move forward again with that Jupiter blessing in your first house. So on 1010, October 10th, the Libra new moon at 17 degrees will fall in your third house. And this is a new moon during in the scales of balance in Libra. So this is offering a new way of communicating, a new conversation, decision, idea, or mindset can all be delivered around this time.

44:39 Because it is during the Venus retrograde. This could be a new piece of information that you receive that changes your Venus retrograde story completely. Because eventually something has to completely die to be reborn. Scorpio, at the foundation, the fourth house of your chart. Scorpio ruled fourth house can correspond symbolically with major transformation involving your home, family, living situation.

45:07 A lot of you could be deciding to move during this Venus retrograde, or simply your understanding of where you belong. Do you fit in with your biological family? Have you created a chosen family? You guys are seriously reassessing where do I fit in now with this new mindset? Because a lot of you had some Aries Ninth House activity going on.

45:25 It could involve uh political views, social views where you're just like, I don't feel like I fit in this progressive neighborhood anymore. I don't know. Something coming up there. Um, church, religion, all these things could come in because faith is getting activated for you guys too. You may realize you can't create a new home while continuing to carry an old definition of emotional safety within an old environment.

45:49 The Taurus full moon on October 25th will fall into your 10th house of career and the overall direction of your life. So this can illuminate your public direction, your reputation. Something about where you're going professionally may become clear under that full moon. And that realization could influence the home life you're building underneath of it.

46:10 As above, so below. When you guys are doing a serious internal audit of where you live, a lot of it could come up with I can't expand and create the reputation I want here, or I can't achieve the career I want here. I gotta move. I'm changing. So your guys' Venus retrograde question to ponder is where and with whom do I genuinely feel at home?

46:36 Now remember, during retrogrades, we reassess, revise, review because we get rewarded. Should we put in the work? And the reward that you guys could potentially receive, should you answer the call of revising things in these houses, is an a new friend, an awesome neighbor that feels like family and helps you out with things.

46:55 It could be moving, selling, signing a lease, anything. Something to do with your environment. It could be a more optimistic mindset in regards to the past, because the fourth house is the past as well. You might look at your family differently. There could be a vulnerable conversation that you have with family that makes you feel more connected to them.

47:13 It could be a very rewarding transit for you, Leo. So don't go about this alone. You know I'm always here for you. Find me at astrology-lounge.com. Virgo risings. This Venus retrograde is happening between your second and third houses. This is an area of our chart that rules finances in our immediate environment, the networking and the contracts, the paperwork involved in creating finances, second house.

47:38 But it's ultimately your sense of self-worth and how you communicate that or react to a low sense of self-worth within your local community, friends, neighbors. So Libra rules your second house. Scorpio rules your third house. So the second house area of life, the finances, self-worth, natural talents, is up for review.

48:00 The Scorpio ruled third house wants the way you speak, communicate with people, your voice, something about it wants to die. It doesn't want to continue the way it has. It feels trapped. So, Virgo, your Venus retrograde is a serious values audit. What are you spending money on right now? What are you charging?

48:23 How do you handle money with other people, with employees, with co-workers? If you work in a very contractual-based business, this is the third house. Are you playing fair? Is money fair? Are you using money as a form of control to work on that sense of self-worth? Or is somebody using you for money for their own power hungry issues?

48:45 What do you believe your time is worth? Have you been overcharging or undercharging? Has your financial life become so unbalanced because you're undervaluing or overvaluing yourself? What's going on with this, Virgo? On 1010, October 10th, there will be a Libra new moon in your second house of earned income and self-worth that allows you to start changing these things to bring more balance to your bank account, of course, to your finances.

49:12 Love this for you. It could be a new financial goal, a new income stream, a boundary or relationship with your own self-worth can begin under this. Now, if finances aren't a thing for you, which I would be shocked if they weren't in some sort of a conversation right now, it could just be your sense of self-worth.

49:29 Do I live every day like I value myself? The relationships in my life, since this is Venus we're discussing. Do I believe I am truly valued by the people I love and I do business with or I'm romantic with or my friends? It's an audit, it's a values audit, Virgo. Scorpio ruling the third house. This is the area that wants to transform the way you think and communicate.

49:52 Go through your text, go through your email, and ask yourself what is it like being on the other side of me? You guys are very pure of intent, but you seem to fall short when it comes to understanding your impact on people. You guys are extremely mercurial, very logical. And so you can go into situations, especially around money and self-worth, and say, Well, my intention was, but that doesn't always matter when someone's sharing the impact that you have on them, and vice versa.

50:22 You as well. Someone could have good intentions with you, but the impact they're leaving, you just can't rock with anymore. So you may need to kill off an old narrative about yourself. I can't ask for that. I shouldn't say that. I need everyone to approve of me, or I have to overexplain myself. Or this could involve lying, manipulation, hiding things when it comes to finances, self-worth, money, all those things.

50:46 There could be a part of you that's like, I'm done hiding who I am, or there's a behavior of mine that I'm ready to let go of and clean up. Um, the Taurus full moon on October 29th, uh, 29th, 25th is in your ninth house of expansion in beliefs. This can bring a huge realization involving your education, travel, your belief system, but ultimately changing the overall direction of your life.

51:11 You may recognize under this full moon that you've simply outgrown an old belief about what's possible for you. Maybe money was the thing that was holding you back from achieving something you really want to do, an expansion of sort. And this Taurus full moon kind of swoops in and says, Oh, you thought you couldn't find love, here you go.

51:28 You thought you couldn't make money doing something you enjoy, here you go. I really like this for you, Virgos. It's like it could be a little turbulent in the beginning of this as it kicks off October 3rd, but by the end of October, which we're about halfway through the Venus retrograde, something switches.

51:44 Your mindset really switches under that Taurus Full Moon. So, your question to assess during this Venus retrograde is what would I say differently if I truly believed I was valuable? How would I treat people when it comes to money if I had all the money in the world and it wasn't such a form of stress?

52:03 Um, do I go after my goals and dreams that I really want to do? Or do I tell myself I don't deserve it? You guys are doing that again, a serious values on it. Now remember, retrogrades are a time to visit the REs, reassess, revise, rethink. But when you show up and put in the work, which you Virgos typically do, you get rewarded.

52:29 And your reward, Virgo, could of course be money, lots of money being paired, uh, being paid fair wage, fair salary. But it could be speaking and communicating, communicating with others from a sense of I know what my worth is, I know what my value is. And so I don't need to overreact, I don't need to get emotional about it because I know who I am, and I can have conversations and listen to my impact on people without getting overly aggressive, or I can find relationships where I can share how people impact me without worrying if they won't value me anymore.

53:03 This is a really juicy one. So, Virgos, if you need help with this, want to look at it together on your chart, you always have me. Visit astrology-lounge.com. Libra Risings. This is a very personal retrograde for you. Why? Because as a Libra ascendant, Venus is the ruler of your chart. She is your bodyguard, she's your best friend.

53:23 So when she changes signs or when she goes retrograde, you pay attention. You and your fellow Taurus Risings got to keep your eye on this transit and Libras. This is happening in your first and second house. So the Libra ruled house is where things are under a review to bring balance. And the Scorpio ruled house, which for you will be the second house, is where things have to change immediately and transform intensely.

53:49 So Libra Risings, the review house is you. You. It's the only house that has nothing to do with anybody else except you. So this Venus retrograde is very personal. It is you reassessing how you dress, how you look. Please do not schedule any cosmetic surgeries during this Venus retrograde. Go ahead and think, look in the mirror, do some research, whatever you want to do with that.

54:14 I know you guys are old love and beauty is very important to you guys, but do not book anything. Just do your research and think about it. Sleep on it for these 40 days, please. The second house of Scorpio for you guys is money, possessions, and self-worth. So, Libra, you guys are the main character of this one.

54:31 Venus comes all the way back into your first house and asks you, who are you now? Do you like the way you look? Do you like the way you dress? Do you like the way you present yourself? But ultimately, what is your sense of autonomy and individuality right now? Do you like where you work? Do you like how your relationships are?

54:48 Do you like where you live? Who are you? Is what this Venus retrograde is saying. Who are you? Do not say I'm a mother, I'm a daughter, I'm a father, I'm a son. Do not say any labels like that. Who are you? Your appearance, identity, relationships, desires, every your money, who you rely on for money.

55:06 All these houses are activated with this. The version of yourself you've been presenting to other people lately, especially since 2018, may go completely under review during this 40-day time period that begins October 3rd, right in the heart of your season, and lasts all the way to mid-November into Scorpio season.

55:24 So where have you guys shaped yourself around being chosen, loved, accepted? You guys have Saturn going through your seventh house of marriage and relationship. Some of you could be going through a divorce or a separation during this Venus retrograde. Again, you'll already know it. It's not going to be anything shocking or surprising.

55:42 Um, a lot of you could be in a relationship where you say, How we've been treating each other, our functioning has to completely die for something new to be born, a completely new way of relating. If you are single and dating, this could be a time frame where you are like, you know what, I have not had good luck with dating.

56:00 So let me go back and reassess who I am and what my values are. If you've struggled to be single and live alone, this may be a time where you're challenged to financially support yourself. Because as we get into it's a Scorpio rule in second house, and you'll figure out who you are when you strip away all of the things you've attached your identity to.

56:21 Again, reflect back to October 2018, October, November, and December 2018. This is the last time you experienced this. I imagine some things were stripped away from your identity. That involves love, affairs, marriage, kids, pregnancy, home, living situation, everything that made you go, oh my gosh, you know, Libra is the sign of relationship.

56:44 We always utilize a tandem bicycle as a symbol for Libra. And so when you strip away partnership of any kind, a friendship, a family relationship, Libra shiver. They're like, Who am I when I stand on my own two feet? But then we have on 1010, October 10th, a Libra new moon in your first house. This is a beautiful, symbolic reset for you and only you.

57:06 You're planting the seed for a new version of yourself while Venus is actively asking you to reconsider who you think that person should be, what you want her or him to look like, to be presented as in the world. Who are you? Then Venus walks forward into Scorpio, into that second house and says, now put a price on the new you, your income, your spending habits, your possessions and self-worth.

57:30 Some of you may be selling a lot of material items because you realize I don't need these things. I don't want them. Strip them away. I don't need to buy the fancy clothes and the expensive things. I don't want that. It's not me anymore. All of these change because your relationship with yourself is changing.

57:46 And then on October 25th, we have a big Taurus full moon in your eighth house. Shared assets, intimacy, sex, trauma, pain, and betrayal from the past, trust issues. This Taurus full moon brings clarity around what you share with other people: money, debt, intimacy, vulnerability, emotional entanglement, and responsibility.

58:08 So it brings those things to a head after you've done all this internal individual auditing. So your question is what am I worth when nobody else gets to determine that answer? Who do I love? Where do I live? What do I do for a living when nobody else is involved in answering that question? When nobody else is involved in the equation of trying to solve who I am, what number am I?

58:36 Who am I? That is your Venus retrograde story. I can't encourage you guys enough to go back into 2018 and say, if I could do things, react to things, start things, or end things differently back then, how would I do it? Do it now. Libras, retrogrades don't go without rewards. So where you can get rewarded, should you choose to do this work and do things differently, is in yourself.

59:03 You guys might end this and say, Yep, I'm getting the injections, then you look great. Or you guys could decide, wait, you know what? I really want a partnership that feels like this. And if that means being single for a little while while I get rooted and comfortable in who I am, to where I'm to the point where I don't need anybody, I just want somebody where I've already baked my cake.

59:24 Anyone that comes in is just sheer icing. That's your reward. Unshakable self-confidence, beauty, glow up, truly a glow-up transit. Should you get rid of all the negative energies around you, within you, and answer the call to this? And money, the second house is involved. Doing something you love, a natural talent for income, could be a part of your Venus retrograde reward, too.

59:49 So looking good, making good money. I don't know, Libras. That's a pretty cool reward for a Venus retrograde. You Libras, come see me at astrology-lounge.com. If you want to look at this in your chart, I'm always here for you. Good luck. Scorpio risings. This Venus retrograde is in your 12th and your first house.

1:00:09 This is like a threshold retrograde for you guys because the 12th house is the final house. It's the house of endings. The first house is the, well, the beginning. It's something new. So the Libra ruled 12th house and your Scorpio ruled first house. This is a very personal retrograde. You are reviewing endings, subconscious patterns in the past.

1:00:31 The Scorpio first house transformation of Venus retrograde here is you. It's the only house that has nothing to do with anybody else but you. So Scorpios. Venus, planet of values and love and self-worth, literally begins her retrograde in your first house. If your Scorpio ascendant is eight degrees, ooh, this is your time.

1:00:56 It backs into your 12th house and then returns to that first house. This is pretty much a death, go into the underworld, rebirth. You're being pulled backwards, literally going into the past to examine something that may have been hidden in the busyness of the day today. An older relationship, yes, you guys have a high forecast for an ex from the past coming back in.

1:01:20 An old grief. Maybe you have not grieved the death or the loss of someone or something you were attached to. Speaking of attachment issues, self-sabotaging patterns to create loyalty and intimacy with people, private desires, secret affairs, secret loves, secrets about yourself, unconscious beliefs about yourself, or a version of yourself that you thought you'd outgrown or you thought you'd healed could come up.

1:01:45 And then we have a Libra new moon on October 10th in that 12th house. And this quietly hits a reset button or a new chapter through an ending. So I want you guys to pay close attention to the October 7th to October 13th week. There could be an ending that may feel a little bit heavy and it could be internal, it could be quiet.

1:02:06 It could be you just waking up on a random Tuesday morning deciding I'm not triggered by this anymore. Oh, yeah, look at that. Or it could be something literal. But that is immediately a message that a beginning is about to swoop right back in. That could also be when an ex texts you during that time frame.

1:02:24 But I want to remind you if anybody from the past pops up during this 40-day October 3rd to November 15th retrograde window, it's usually, I won't say always, but usually indicative of they came back to be permanently released. Something doesn't necessarily have to happen externally yet during that Libra new moon.

1:02:45 This can simply be the moment you privately decide I'm done carrying this. No more. I don't want to carry this, I don't want this to be in my day today. I want things to permanently change. And then you Phoenix rising from the ashes, then you emerge. When Venus returns to Scorpio, you don't have to be the person who entered this retrograde.

1:03:05 In fact, I really don't think you will be. There is you in September and August, and then there's you in November and December, and they are completely different people. The Taurus full moon on October 25th is in your seventh house of marriage, partnerships, divorce, relationships. This can illuminate and bring to a head a relationship at the same time, meaning there could be one starting or there could be one ending.

1:03:33 You may see another person or the role the relationships play in your life with incredible clarity and know what to do if you've been thinking about starting or ending a relationship. Reflect back on May 16th when we had a new moon in this seventh house of yours to get an idea of what it could mean. And also reflect back to October, November 2018, when we last had the same exact Venus retrograde in your 12th and first house.

1:04:00 So, Scorpio Ascendants, your question of this Venus retrograde is what version of yourself are you finally ready to stop resurrecting? It's like that analogy they say stop beating a dead horse, or you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. There's something about you, your physical body.

1:04:19 And by the way, it's your physical body as well. So if there's a diet or a workout routine that you just can't get to stick, stop forcing it and try something completely different. Your physical body wants transformation as well during this. So Scorpio Risings retrogrades don't just pass with hard work and then see you later.

1:04:38 We also get rewarded during them. And in my opinion, your potential for a reward is richer than any other zodiac sign because you guys could get literal psychic healing plus physical healing all in one. Whoa, love this for you. This could be a permanent release of something energetic that was like an energetic parasite just leaching onto you, but it could also be a release of weight if you want to lose weight because it's your physical body, but it's you releasing something spiritually, psychically heavy, and you emerge from this so much lighter.

1:05:18 And I love that for you. So, Scorpios, don't go at this alone. Come see your Scorpio moon sister over here. Visit astrology-lounge.com. Sagittarius Risings. What am I about to say? Did you write your book yet? How's that going? Listen, you guys send me an email with your book cover and your updates. I I need I need a PowerPoint presentation of how far you've gotten into it.

1:05:41 Sagittarius Risings. You have this Venus retrograde happening from October 3rd to mid November, almost into Sagittarius season, and your 11th and your 12th houses. Are you guys ready to move into that future that's probably been in your heart and in your mind for almost a decade? Okay, definitely since 2018.

1:06:02 Something you guys did in 2018 is saying, hey, you should have had this dream be your reality by now. If it's not, we gotta do a serious subconscious spiritual audit because it's banging on the door. Why haven't you let it in? Libra rules your 11th house. Scorpio rules your 12th house. And so the Libra house is where we're doing the balance review, the audit.

1:06:29 The Scorpio house is where things are massively transforming and changing. So the 11th house is your future dreams, your goals, and your friendships, your social media community, your community you live in. You're auditing those things. You're thinking, where have I lost sight? Have I been have I been sacrificing my dreams for somebody else's?

1:06:51 Have I been getting glued and sucked into social media and letting other people's opinions and teachings on social media sway me from what I know I've always wanted? Scorpio 12th House Transformation says, endings and the unconscious. This is a huge ending period for you guys. The you guys are just reconsidering who belongs in your future and how you go get that future that I feel like you know what I'm talking about.

1:07:17 You can feel it's at your fingertips, but it's like someone or something is in the way. And you're getting to a point where you're like, okay, at first it was terrifying to imagine life without them or that thing or that job. But now I'm at a point where I can taste, I can waft the smell of the reality of that dream.

1:07:38 And if it gently means excusing this person that's dropped, this thing that's in front of me blocking it, I will gently bye-bye, you gotta go. And then that dream just like floodgates, pours in, whether it's love, pregnancy, a living location, new friends, new job, dream job, dream trip. Gosh, I'm still waiting to go to South Africa.

1:08:00 Maybe I will. Friendships, communities, social media audiences, long-term dreams may come under review. Some connections may return. Old friends, a lot of people talk about an ex-lover may return, but for you guys, it could be an old friend may come up to apologize, may want to talk to you, may want to bring things up and discuss some stuff.

1:08:22 Um, usually what we say is like if an ex-lover returns, let him go. But I don't know about friends. It might apply to friends. If an old friend returns, it might just be a hey, are we good? Okay, we're good. But I don't know if you'll be friends again and be that close. We'll see. You guys have to let me know.

1:08:37 But some people in your friendship groups may, they may come back to reveal that they simply belong to a version of your life that you've already left behind that you're not revisiting. It could be like an old friend crops up into your life. You're like, oh, hi, how are you? But then you realize, oh my God, I have nothing to talk to you about because I'm just not who I was back when we were friends.

1:08:58 And while I'm so excited to see your name again, this is also kind of sad because I just I don't have anything to connect with you on. You know what I mean? So then there's a Libra new moon on October 10th, 10th, 10th. And that's in your 11th house of friendships, your future dreams. If you're in an age of retirement, this could be when you retire or when you start to do the financials and make the planning, and you guys pull the trigger in December or January after the holiday season, you retire.

1:09:27 I just want to throw that out there because that's the 11th house. But this Libra new moon lets you plant a new seed for your future, new friendships, new social media accounts, or creativity on there, new collaborations for work, or even a completely different dream may begin taking shape under this Venus audit.

1:09:47 So then the Scorpio rule 12th house, this takes you inward. Something may need to be released completely. A private relationship, an attachment to an old dream, an old grief, an unconscious pattern or a chapter that you've been dragging behind you. Sagges, if you've been having regret or grief over this, isn't how my life was supposed to go, this is not how I thought uh things would be, we've got to let that go during this Venus retrograde.

1:10:16 Like, I'm sorry, and I grieve right next to you because I do the same thing. But this Venus retrograde is saying, Hey, I I get it. Get a goal, get a dream, and God laughs and says, Good luck, and nothing goes to plan, right? But there could be some dream, a love that got away, a dream with parenting, creativity.

1:10:36 You guys have your fifth house activated too, uh, pursuing an artistic career, something around those things that the universe is saying, Hey, can you let it go now? I'm sorry it didn't turn out, but we promise we've got something even better in store if you can just remove that deep dark block, something you've been dragging behind you.

1:10:55 So this one is it's like it's it's so dark, but you guys can go there with me. It's like if you lost a pet and you have their ashes or their body, or if you lost a human, someone you're very close to, the person in your life that you love, and you're holding on to their ashes, but they're sitting on your fireplace and you're like, Why are they here?

1:11:15 Like, I need to go scatter them in their favorite place, but for years you couldn't bring yourself to because you wanted them to be in the house with you. It's almost like you're gonna literally do something like that. Or this could be the ashes of an old dream that don't want to be sitting at like an elephant in the room of your present relationships and goals and careers, and want us to be like, oh, stop dragging it behind you.

1:11:38 So, this Venus retrograde for you guys, it feels less like starting something and more like finally closing the door and taking off the weighted vest of life. You guys are never you're Sagittarius rising. Goodness gracious, you're never meant to move through life feeling heavy. And I feel like you have been.

1:11:57 Use this Venus retrograde to say, Yeah, you're right. I want to laugh more, I want to play more, and I want to move more. I want to live. Life is too short. I want to live somewhere I love and have so much fun. And then on October 25th, we have a Taurus full moon in your sixth house of day-to-day routines.

1:12:14 This can reveal something about your work, your coworkers, those daily routines, the average Tuesday, or everyday life. It's reached a culmination. Your future cannot change if your everyday life stays exactly the same. Massive change starts with micro changes within the average Tuesday. I love using that for the sixth house.

1:12:33 So the Taurus full moon later in October reveals that. So, Sagittarians, your Venus retrograde question is what am I carrying into my future that actually belongs in my past? I think you guys know the answer to that. I think it just popped in your head really quick, didn't it? Now, I'll wrap it up with this retrogrades do not leave without giving you rewards if you show up.

1:12:57 And I know you sad just will because you're fearless. So the area of life that you can get rewarded is the 11th and 12th house. When I tell you guys, you your reward is if you move remove that heavy block, the floodgates of just rainbow tie-dye goodness flow into your life, and you're sitting there like, oh my gosh, this is how fast it would have flown in if I would have just moved it back.

1:13:23 Oh gosh, it's like your dreams immediately come true once you kiss an old thing goodbye. And I love that for you guys because I think you guys have been waiting long enough for something. So let it go. Let it go. And I will always be here for you guys. Visit astrology-lounge.com to send me your update on your book.

1:13:43 Okay, I'll be here. Bye guys. Capricorn risings, 10th house, 11th house. Oh my gosh. You know, I was telling Libras and Taurus that this is a very personal retrograde for them because Venus rules their signs. But you guys, Capricorn, 10th house, tomato, tomato. This is pretty personal for you too. 10th out, 10th house of reputation, public identity, and career, and the 11th house of retirement.

1:14:11 Some of you could be getting retired or planning it seriously during this time frame. But for those of you who aren't, this is your hopes and dreams, your future goals, your friendships. So the Libra House, your 10th house, and the Scorpio house, your 11th, the Rumper Review and Great Change, permanent change.

1:14:29 You guys are seriously auditing your career and what you do for a living, what you want to be when you grow up. Is that not the eternal Capricorn rising? What do I want to do for a career? Boy, you guys will figure it out and you will charge full steam ahead when you do. However, something in that 11th house has to die.

1:14:48 Future goals, community, Capricorn. You're reviewing what success means to you now. A career path, business, reputation, professional goal that once made perfect sense to you may not fit anymore. And a huge piece of it may involve that you were so caught up in your reputation being someone who is well known and highly regarded in that community of people, of artists, of athletes, of professionals, that it's a serious identity crisis when you realize, oh, I was once the big fish in the little pond.

1:15:22 And now I have to go be a little fish in a giant sea. Meaning, you're more than likely going to start over completely from scratch in a brand new career field, and that can be kind of an ego hit to you. But blah ba-buh but boy, will you be glad if you put your ego aside and do it. And we'll get to why in a second.

1:15:44 Rather than immediately like replacing your career, Venus is asking you guys to reconsider during this retrograde from October 3rd to November 15th. Reconsider whether you're climbing a ladder you even want to be on anymore. I feel like a lot of you have already, like this is a duh feeling because you've already felt this.

1:16:01 But how exhausting is it to go put in eight hours a day every day at something you just don't care about anymore? Capricorns, don't do that to yourself. Don't do it to yourself anymore. So on October 10th, 1010, we have a Libra new moon in that 10th house of career. This allows you to plant a new professional seed, a new goal, a role, business direction, a new definition of success may begin around this early to mid-October time frame.

1:16:29 And then Scorpio transforms the future. You guys want your community, social media accounts, friendships, the audience, and the people you associate with, long-term vision. There's a radical change here because you're aiming somewhere completely different, right? As above, so below. You guys have, I believe, yep, you guys have Saturn going hovering down the base of your chart.

1:16:55 So there's something going on at home with your deep emotional body. Don't let your family influence where you want to go for a career. Of course, listen to them, but make sure you're making that decision solely based off of you. Um I think you'll be very happy with how much your family actually ends up supporting you on this.

1:17:11 There's a Taurus full moon on October 25th in your fifth house of conception, fertility, romance, creativity, the arts. This is illuminating what actually makes you happy. Who makes you happy? What creative process makes you happy? Something with children may come up around this time that changes the direction of your life.

1:17:34 You may realize that whatever you're building professionally also needs to leave room for a life you actually enjoy living. I know Capricorn Rising, especially, you guys tend to struggle with can I actually enjoy what I do for a living? Yes. The answer is yes. The year is 2026. The answer is absolutely, and you guys deserve that.

1:17:54 So your Venus retrograde question is if nobody were impressed by my success right now, would I still pursue this? If social media and talking about what do you do for a living or the family reunion, if none of that existed, what would you guys go do? So don't forget, Capricorns, that during retrogrades, should we put in the work and revise, reassess, we get greatly rewarded.

1:18:26 And where you guys can get an amazing reward is exactly what I just said. You could find a community that loves you, accepts you, and you're new there. You're the new kid on the block because you're like, well, I've kind of wanted to do this for a living, but I've, you know, I'm this age, I don't think I can fit in.

1:18:42 Am I too old for this? Mm-mm. Go into that community as a newbie, put your guard down, say, Hey, I have no idea about any of this. This is so fresh to me, but I would love to learn. I've had an interest. This community swarms you with love and support, and you climb the ladder of this faster than you ever did in that old career.

1:19:01 And for my Capricorn risings who are in a state of being able to retire, this could be you retiring and focusing your time on volunteerism, activism, philanthropy, and you're like, oh my gosh, finally, my days are filled with leaving a lasting legacy and impact. I love this reward for you guys. Capricorns do not go at this alone.

1:19:23 Come see me at astrology-lounge.com. Aquarius risings, this Venus retrograde is going through your ninth and tenth houses. This is your house of career, tenth house and the ninth house of your belief systems and expansion. Libra rules your tenth, I'm sorry, your ninth house, and Scorpio rules your tenth house of career.

1:19:45 The Libra house is where we're doing a serious audit for balance. The Scorpio house is where things must. We're not asking for them to change, they must change. So you guys are doing a serious audit of your religious beliefs, social beliefs, political beliefs, and how those have shaped or held back your whole life's direction.

1:20:07 The place that must change is your career. It has to change. And if you are an Aquarius rising who's not working right now, so career is not really a thing for you, the direction your life is currently going has to change. And I don't say this with a stern voice to scare you or shock you. I know a lot of you are like, nope, I know exactly what you're talking about.

1:20:27 Didn't really want to hear it, but nope, I know exactly what you're talking about. Aquarius, something has to change. The way your life is going, it's not for you anymore, is it? You guys have Pluto in the first house. You know what I'm talking about. You cannot keep on the way you are and feel vibrant, healthy, alive, and well.

1:20:45 You know what I'm talking about. First, you guys are reconsidering what you believe about life, education, spirituality, religion, travel, publishing, teaching a worldview. You've built your life around. These things need updating. Your beliefs around I can just continue status quo and keep going as I am, those have to change.

1:21:07 There's a Libra new moon on October 10th in your ninth house, and this opens a new door for you guys. Be open-minded with a new belief coming in, a new course, a new, a new course of study, like a university program, a trip, international trip. Book it around here or go on one, a new teaching opportunity, or simply a new direction can begin emerging around that early to mid-October time frame.

1:21:32 And then comes the external consequence. The Scorpio-ruled 10th house. When Venus moves backwards into Scorpio, your philosophy changes enough. Your career will change as well. Your career, if you're working, cannot stay exactly the same. Scorpio in that 10th house says your public identity may undergo a huge phoenix rising from the ashes moment.

1:21:55 You might leave a career, completely reinvent one, completely change industries, step into greater authority, or realize that you want to be what you want to be known for has changed. And you guys could be going, this could be as intense as I don't know, the most basic example is when you were young, you said, I want to be a nurse or I want to be a doctor, and you went to medical school and you've been working in the medical field ever since then.

1:22:21 And your whole family and your friends know, oh, so-and-so has always wanted to work in biology. Like that's just what they've always wanted to do. And now you're like, hey, um, I have an announcement to make. I want to be a tarot card reader. And your friends and family are like, what Mr. or Miss Science now wants to do the woo-woo?

1:22:41 And you're like, well, it's kind of, I don't know, my beliefs around what I believe in have been all dramatically changed, especially since 2018. So yeah, yeah, this is my new belief set. I love it. I love the wow factor in it, right? That's always what you guys are meant to do. Hit them with the shock factor, right?

1:22:59 Then the Taurus full moon on October 25th is in your fourth house. This is very personal, guys. It's where you physically live, it's your emotional body, it's your family. There's an illumination around your emotional and physical home. Something may become clear about where you live, where you want to move or live, where you belong, or what you need privately to support that public life.

1:23:25 You're ready to change. What you need at home, you need family, or you need a living location that supports this brand new identity. A very obvious way this could manifest is you're switching careers or the direction of your life, and you have to change your physical living location in order to follow through with that.

1:23:44 Or a job could require you to move across country and you're like, nope, I love this job, but I do not value leaving my family and community here. So I guess that career is over for me. I don't know, but this is this is an intense Venus retrograde for you guys, even though she doesn't rule your chart.

1:24:01 Uh, your overall question to process during this is does the life I'm building represent the person I've become? And is who I have become, especially since 2018, when we had this exact same retrograde, does who I've become still want to do what I do for a living, or do I still want to live this way and take my life in this direction?

1:24:24 It is an extremely personal Venus retrograde, but you know what? When we show up and we reassess and we revise and we put in all the reworks, we get big rewards. So your reward, Aquarius Rising, is a career you love. Some of you could become very well known and go viral on the internet for sharing your newfound social, political, religious, spiritual beliefs.

1:24:50 That's the ninth and the tenth house. But your reward is your life finally feels like you're the author of it. You finally have balance in your day-to-day where you can go and be an individual, but yet still have the delicious home life that you guys deep down require in order to function, have that sense of belonging and support.

1:25:11 So it's beautiful. I love this. You guys could be going on an amazing trip. If you guys haven't traveled in a while and you really want to get off the internet and get out into the world to go see it for yourself, I can see you guys booking or going on a trip around this time. And something about that trip changes your career or the overall direction of your life.

1:25:30 Like once in a lifetime opportunity. I absolutely love it. Aquarius, come see me. We will talk about this on your chart as well as Pluto going through that first house. Visit astrology-lounge.com. And here we arrive at my sweet, beautiful Neptunian ocean babies. Pisces risings. This Venus retrograde is going through your eighth and your ninth house.

1:25:56 This is intense, but you like this area, this watery house, this relationship quadrant. The Libra ruled eighth house and the Scorpio ruled ninth house are coming up for review. October 3rd to mid-November. Let's do it, Pisces. The Libra review, where you want to bring balance and notice where things are not in balance, is in the eighth house.

1:26:18 Intimacy, sex, transformation, shared money with someone, where you're emotionally entangled with someone. It could be a child, it could be a sibling, it could be your spouse, your life partner, someone you're just sexually intimate with, a coworker. It's anyone where you feel, and this is such a Pisces thing, isn't it?

1:26:36 Where you feel like you've lost yourself. Where you're like, okay, I feel like I am just a healer for them. And I feel like they kind of just trauma dump on me without asking how I am. And it's starting to make me just feel uncomfortable and off and resentful, and it's frozen my water. I've turned into a Pisces rising ice cube, and I don't like that about myself.

1:26:58 I'm meant to feel and heal, but who heals the healer? Is kind of your Venus retrograde story. Scorpio ruling that ninth house. This is where things must change. There is no buts, no what's, no nothing. The ninth house must change. Your beliefs about your future direction. Pisces, you're reviewing what you share with other people energetically, spiritually, sexually, financially, emotionally, especially.

1:27:25 Debt, shared debt, tax issues, investments, mortgages, shared bank accounts, but trust, intimacy, dependence, and power dynamics as well can all come under examination during this Venus retrograde. Where have things become unequal in your life? Where are you carrying something that isn't entirely yours?

1:27:48 Now, this could be you reviewing where you've used people for money, where you're like, whoops, I got a little too comfortable and porous there, or where people are using you for money. This could be you realizing, you know. I've been having sex with someone, and I thought I fantasized that maybe it would turn into something, but it's not.

1:28:07 And I think I have to face the reality that they're kind of using my body. But am I using theirs as well? That's not a good energetic exchange. I think that's getting a little icky for me. That has to come under review. If you're in a long-term partnership and there hasn't been sex or intimacy, why not?

1:28:23 Why not? That's a huge form of escapism for you guys that done healthily can be wonderful. What's going on there? Where things become unequal. There's a Libra new moon on 1010, synchronicity on October 10th in your eighth house. This is giving you an opportunity to create a healthier arrangement around sharing sex, money, finances, emotions.

1:28:47 A lot of you guys work in healing fields. And so clientele. Do we feel like we're working with people that appreciate us? Do we feel like we're overgiving, overworking? Are we doing too much Reiki therapy on people? Uh massage therapy, acupuncture therapy, are we nursing, midwife doula, death doula? You guys are excellent at all of these things.

1:29:09 But do you feel like you've been pushing yourself through a little too much because of money? Because you're like, wait, you know, that client really energetic drains me, and I think that they need help beyond my scope. But they always tip really well, so I'll continue to see them, even though I kind of dread it.

1:29:28 That's what's coming up for you guys during this Venus retrograde. Okay? So around that Libra New Moon in your eighth house, this could be financial or emotional. What is mine? What is yours? What are we consciously choosing to carry together? What is the soul contract that I have with said person? And do I feel like it's up and I'm dragging a dead corpse?

1:29:49 What's going on there? And then Venus dips back into Scorpio and transforms your beliefs, your worldview. You guys may emerge questioning everything you previously believed about love, trust, money, marriage, mortality, morality, or simply what you thought your life was supposed to look like. Hmm. So we are completely transforming your beliefs.

1:30:14 And so using that analogy of I'm sticking with a client who energetically drains me because I make really good money from it. Just it's a very basic analogy. This could be you saying, you know what? No. Because if I get two clients to make up for that, but I energetically feel safe and supported with them, you can't put a cost on my peace, says the Pisces rising during a Venus retrograde in their eighth and ninth house.

1:30:39 There is no price you can put on my energetic balance and peace. The Taurus full moon on October 25th is in your third house of the mind, mindset, messages, communication. This brings something into focus through a message, information, a conversation, or a finalized decision or realization. Sometimes changing your entire worldview, Pisces, it starts with one very simple sentence.

1:31:10 I don't think that way anymore. That's not what I believe anymore. Ooh, micro turn into macro there. So Pisces Risings, your Venus retrograde question this season is what becomes possible when I stop living according to an outdated belief about myself, my money, my body. I I believe I can't trust them.

1:31:36 I don't believe I can make money if I let that go. I don't bel sh now, a lot of you could be traveling internationally or booking a trip. Highly suggest a little spiritual retreat if you need it during that October to November time frame because lots of realizations could come up since we're talking about that ninth house.

1:31:55 But Pisces, during retrogrades, revising, rethinking, should we put in the work on those things, the universe and the cosmos greatly rewards us. Set at bar two seven seven seven. Of course, you guys come with the synchronicities. So where you guys could get rewarded is in the eighth and ninth house area, which is a radical Scorpio intense transformation of your beliefs, your mindset.

1:32:23 It's like you guys are taking off old, scratched, permanently etched, dirty glasses and getting a brand new, shiny, glossy, crystal clear lenses. And you're like, ah, ah, this is what I've been missing out on. The colors are so vivid and everything is so sharp. I see things different now, and I can never go back to wearing those glasses because I crushed them up and threw them in the crystals.

1:32:49 Get them out of here. I'll never unsee or I'll never see the world differently because I'm wearing a new lens, viewing the world from. And when we change the way we think, the things we're experiencing change, and that's an incredible reward for you, Pisces. I absolutely love this for you. Never feel like you have to go at this alone.

1:33:08 I'm always here. Visit astrology-lounge.com to look at this Venus retrograde on your chart specifically. Good luck, Pisces. Okay, my friends. That was awesome. I really enjoyed recording these Venus retrograde horoscopes. I can't remind you enough to reflect back on October, November of 2018 and ask yourself, what would I do differently?

1:33:32 How would I rethink a decision that I made back then? What would I revise in terms of decisions around love and money and self-value back then? And I also want to end this reminding you guys that there's rewards. There's another R-E word, rewards. There's rewards at the end of this. You're putting in a lot of work in the areas of life ruled by Scorpio and Libra, but there's a beautiful pot of gold at the end of the Libra, I mean the Venus rainbow at the end of this.

1:34:02 So the Libra house needs rebalancing. The Libra new moon on October 10th. What new seed can I put here? Okay. And then the excuse me, the Scorpio house, what has to die? What has to fundamentally change in this area of my life? And this is also where the rewards could reveal themselves in December. And then the October 25th, Taurus full moon.

1:34:28 What becomes clear about what I value, need, or want to keep in this house of my chart? Okay. Libra and Taurus are both Venus ruled, so the new moon and full moon are not random side quests during this retrograde. They're both speaking Venus's language while she's retrograde. That's why I snuck those two in there.

1:34:48 The Libra new moon asks, can we create something more balanced here? And then the Taurus full moon, which has a direct connection back to early May. Remember that, May 16th. Go reflect on that date as well. Okay, is this actually valuable and sustainable for me? Was this change enough? What needs fine-tuned?

1:35:07 That's it, guys. That's all I've got for you. I'm sending you the best of luck. Never forget you're gonna get rewarded when you show up and you do things differently in these areas of life.
