A relationship may soon come to a sudden end. Don't blame yourself on situations that can't be fixed. Instead, look to self-care, being attentive to your health and your mode of travel as you embark on a short journey. A career transformation may already be underway. Take a break from your super busy schedule and concentrate on doing what you are best at, spend time with your friends, even indulge in hobbies. Avoid turning point decisions, especially concerning work. You may make new friends or enemies who will help or obstruct your endeavors. Be tactful in conversation. Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.

Romantic Venus starts a tricky backspin today, retrograding through Scorpio until November 13, then dipping into Libra and the long-term-planning sectors of your chart on October 25. You and your partner might hit a rough patch after realizing you're not on the same page. Don't hit the panic button! It could take a skillful compromise, but working through this brings you closer. Conflict might also arise at work in the coming weeks. Tread carefully around higher-ups and think twice before stirring the professional pot. Got the urge to jet-set? Choose your traveling companions carefully, especially if your journey falls between October 25 and November 13. If your job starts stressing you out, turn your lunch hours into restorative breaks. Even if you only have time for a five-minute guided meditation in your car, it could flip the mood around. Here's the silver lining to this retrograde: An influential person from your field could become your professional guardian angel. Reach out to the people you admire and genuinely connect.
