Work and money troubles consume your mind at present. Take a short trip to distract yourself. Write, photograph, engage in activities that satisfy your creative spirit. New opportunities await and along with them another source of income. Your own good mood surprises you. You have a sense of purpose today and feel tremendous. Interactions with others, especially the opposite sex, are satisfying. Pursue your passions to experience life more fully. Loved ones, both young and old, are pleased by your affection towards them. This gives you the ultimate satisfaction of unconditional love.

Is your "picker" on point, Pisces? Love planet Venus turns retrograde until November 13, starting its backspin in Scorpio and your optimistic ninth house, then shifting into Libra and your intense and possessive eighth on October 25. Single? You can't afford to skip the vetting during this tricky transit. Take red flags seriously, even if you later find out they're NBD, and steer clear of anyone with a reputation for heartbreak. If you're already in a relationship, think twice before stirring up drama with your sweetie just to "keep things interesting." You may start to feel possessive and jealous after October 25. Rein it in and determine whether these issues are grounded in reality or just paranoid fantasies brought on by the green-eyed monster. Want to revitalize romance? Head to a favorite spot that has sentimental meaning AND sex appeal before the month is through.
