From the 3^rd of this month the planet of relationships and self-worth Venus goes retrograde until the 14^th of November. It is in the zodiac sign of Scorpio, which is in its detriment, causing old issues of security and identity on a collective basis. This is going to be a challenging period since the planet Venus cannot function in Scorpio and can feel vindictive in its energy. We also have a Mercury retrograde to contend with from the 24^th also in the sign of Scorpio and squaring the planet Pluto in the sky. This is going to be a tense political month, but also it will bring up many changes in attitudes and deep-rooted fears that stem from our past actions. On the 26^th we have a Full Moon at degrees in Taurus , ‘ A burning brand beneath the paw of a lion , whose rage is against it’ symbolises a political figure being their own worst own enemy.
