Happy October, darling Cancer. At the end of September, the Fall Equinox encouraged you to take advantage of the cooler weather and plan autumnal dinner parties with your friends and family. This theme continues with a new moon in romantic Libra and your 4th House of Home and Family on Wednesday, October 6. You’re feeling loved and supported — and are happy to be a generous host. Just don’t do all the work, Cancer. Make sure to at least let guests help with clean up.
During October, several planets end their retrograde and go direct. First up is Pluto, which has been retrograde since Tuesday, April 27. During this time, your task was to shake off any sexual shame that’s been holding you back from your happiness. Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth, so when it goes direct on Wednesday, October 6, you must take what you learned and put it into action. Go ahead and tell your partner about the role-playing scene you’ve always wanted to act out. If you’re single, expand your dating pool in all the ways you’ve been curious about. There’s no right or wrong way to go about your sex life, as long as it’s consensual and makes everyone involved happy.
The next day, on Thursday, October 7, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, enters Sagittarius and your 6th House of Health. This transit asks you to slow down. In our society, it’s easy to feel that you have to work constantly, stay up late, and get up early to continue the grind. If you push yourself too hard professionally, though, you risk crashing. You’ll be more productive in the long run when prioritizing your mental health. And remember, Cancer, all you have to do is look around at your friends and family to know there’s more to life than work.
Saturn, the strict disciplinarian of the Zodiac, has been retrograde since Sunday, May 23, encouraging you to set boundaries during this time. In particular, you had to adjust to vaccinated life while continuing to honor your comfort levels. When Saturn goes direct on Sunday, October 10, in Aquarius and your 8th House of Sex, you must create and hold boundaries in your sex life. First, write down what you are comfortable with. If you’re down with one-on-one dates but aren’t up for a packed concert, let your partners or potential new lovers know. Hold your ground. If you do, you’ll attract partners who share the same values, and your love life will flow much easier.
