This reading is for October 17th, 2019. I am experimenting with publishing a day or two in advance.

Today, I feel like focusing mainly on Venus. She is in an exact sextile to the South Node in Capricorn. She is strengthening her trine to Neptune retrograde and is still in opposition to Uranus. In Scorpio, Venus has us feeling, wanting, and yearning deeply. The sextile to the South Node, however, might make us too strategic in our attempt to get our needs met. As such, there could be a tendency to think that the means justify the ends. They never do. This configuration, coupled with the opposition to Uranus, might have us experiencing some major shifts in our relationships. Our clingy, needy behavior may cause the shift or the shift may cause the clingy, needy behavior. Either way, Neptune retrograde aids our growing awareness of relationship power games.

Tarot card of the Day: 5 of Swords reversed. Perfect. Let Neptune do its retrograde work. Become conscious of the insecurities that cause negative relationship patterns. Drop the swords, heal the wounds, and try again.
