This is a decisive, important month, especially in all things that impact your health, job, and reputation. Uranus and Jupiter both go retro until early December and mid November, respectively. So your career future is in flux during that time. You may take a temporary position because the person currently holding that job can no longer perform it. Venus moves into your solar 3rd house, making you very sensitive to compliments and criticism. Your first priority is to please and placate others from the 10th onward. This is despite the pressure and uncertainty you feel in a "boss" or duty-infested role. You do a delicate balancing act removing your boss hat when you're in the company of loved ones or friends, and then putting it on again when anything connected to work comes up. You do feel the burden of others expectations – and it's beginning to take a toll. Even so, you manage to have a good time between the 9th and 13th. On the 21st, Saturn moves into Libra, impressing how important your duties and responsibilities are in a family matter – as if you didn't already know. During the next two years, you will learn alternative ways to manage stress instead of simply absorbing others' illness or nastiness. You'll deflect it, protecting yourself and your healthy, worthwhile relationships. You will evolve from someone with a childlike desire to live in the past to a full grown adult who can accept, cope with and even thrive in the present. It will take some work – all Saturn transits do. This one just feels more personal. You're one of the most reluctant people to release the past, but your health and other important relationships are urging you to PLEASE do that, for your own sake. A Full Moon on the 25th is mostly about money earned, owed, or lost. The 26th is enjoyable. The 27th is, too, but seems more, well, sober. The 29th pushes Mars into Libra, right alongside with Saturn. This could be the perfect storm in an ongoing family drama. Something that has lost its tensile strength may finally break down. The 30th and 31st are very busy – the phone lines are buzzing, and there may be visits or trips planned. These are probably not pleasure trips. They're more likely to be duty trips. Monthly touchstone: Black Tourmaline.
