While for the first time this year you have moved into a month with no planetary activity on the relationship front and since the North Node left your romantic sector at the end of July, with no activity there as well, there is more than enough to make up for that. At the same time that the Moon will continue to make its monthly visits to your romantic and relationship sectors Venus, the planet of love is making this month her own and is bringing her own influence into play. It was last month that Venus returned to Scorpio to begin what should have been the chance she gets each year to spend 24 days updating your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year. By the time you move into the new month, Venus has been here for nearly three weeks, but instead of getting ready to leave, she is instead slowing ahead of a retrograde turn on 3rd October that will have implications for the rest of the year. Chiron, the planet of healing was still in your relationship sector when Venus returned to Scorpio last month and while only here since June, there had been continuous planetary activity here since November 2025. This saw Venus clash but as the only planet that will clash with a planet in your relationship sector this year, this helped to establish what you want from your relationships. Meanwhile, it was the Moon's return to your romantic sector late last month that has done the same on the romantic front, with the Moon having left your relationship sector late last month, before returning again from 26th October to 28th October. Venus will still be in Scorpio but in retrograde motion when the Moon returns to your romantic sector from 22nd October to 24th October. While this is likely to evoke a sense of romantic nostalgia, this will move to the next level when a day later, Venus retrogrades back into a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, where she will stay until early December, before returning to end the year in Scorpio. For the rest of the year, Venus will move back and forth between the two.
