Competition is weighing on you. You are ready to be alone with your thoughts. Take time to re-charge and resolve your current worries. Debts or recent expenditure may be causing you stress. Try meditation or dream journaling. Look for answers in quiet, contemplative spaces. This is a perfect time to regroup and reassess. Don't panic if you have too many things on your plate right now. Move at your own pace. Just keep following your gut when making decisions. Clarify your priorities and you will move closer to your goal.

Your words may take on a life of their own starting this Saturday, Aries, as curveball-hurling Uranus turns retrograde until February 3. The shake-up begins in Gemini and your third house of communication, then on November 7 the side-spinning planet backtracks into Taurus and your money zone. Over the next two months, language may not capture what you’re feeling. Creative outlets—or even unspoken cues—could deliver your message with far greater impact. On Sunday, a Pisces lunar (full moon) eclipse—the first of September’s two—shines in your twelfth house of closure and healing. Linked to February’s new moon, it urges you to finally release a habit, grudge, or fear that’s been draining your energy. Endings may be bittersweet, but know that each one will open space for fresh beginnings. Stay receptive: unexpected allies—or even a mentor—could show up right when you need them most.
