Sagittarius
While the Sun won't return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year until 23rd October and until then will have the solar spotlight on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking, a sense of nostalgia is going to hang over the whole month. By the time you move into the new month, it has been three weeks since Venus, the planet of love returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane that will normally end with her return to Sagittarius 24 days later. However, a retrograde turn on 3rd October won't just keep her here until 25th October, but when she leaves she won't be returning to Sagittarius or at least not yet.
Instead, this will see Venus retrograde back into your friendship sector, two days after the Sun left. This will see Venus put her nostalgic trip down memory lane on hold during the month long wind down of your old solar year, preferring to spend her time back in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, where she will be making the most of the doors this can open to the past, second chances and untapped potential. Meanwhile Mercury, who will also turn retrograde in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 24th October, will stay here until returning to Sagittarius in early December.
Also slowing down are Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres and while Ceres won't return retrograde until next month and Mars not until the New Year, this is slowing them down and giving them more time and that is good news on two fronts. This means that instead of leaving your financial sector, Ceres will stay on and her deep dive into your financial needs and priorities will continue all the way through to May 2027. This also means that instead of rushing through your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in six weeks, Mars has until the end of next month to fuel a passion for adventure and a hunger for life's richer experiences.
