Speak up at a meeting today. Your viewpoint on a contract or sale is needed. Enjoy a meal with close companions. The sights, sounds and smell of home are worth more than any worldly possession. Success lies in balancing between home and office while also finding time to care for your own well-being. Health of parents or dependents may be a cause of slight concern, demanding your attention. You may just need to confront the situation on its own terms.

Feeling conflicted about a certain someone, Aries? Starting Saturday, you may fly all over the emotional map as Venus turns retrograde until November 13. This befuddling backspin begins in Scorpio and your intimate eighth house, then shifts into Libra and your relationship sector on October 25. Drama could surface during this period. Are thoughts of a nightmare ex coming back to haunt you? Or maybe you're simply getting paranoid and jealous about your S.O. Take a deep breath and examine any irrational feelings through an objective lens. Are these emotions grounded in reality, or are you being triggered by your own painful history? Retrogrades are never fun, but you can use this slowdown to work on your own emotional well-being. What do you need to do to feel centered? Meditation, plenty of support and a great guide like a therapist or coach can be your saving grace. Do the inner work and by November 13, your outer world could be blessed with a rock-solid—and soulfully sexy—bond!
