Looking back to more minute planetary shifts this month, on Sunday, October 13, the divine messenger Mercury shifts into sexy Scorpio, lighting up your pleasurable 5th House. This is an erotic transit, Cancer. If you’re dating or hooking up with someone, you’ll find yourself coming out of your crab shell, curious to explore new kinks, especially dirty talk. However, considering that shortly after, on Thursday, October 17, the lover planet Venus moves into your 6th House of Health, you’ll also be very aware of what’s working for you in your love life and what’s not. If you’re only lukewarm about a partner, Mercury in Scorpio may actually give you the strength to part ways and find someone who actually inspires you to come up with erotic poetry.
Also on Thursday, October 17, the sky lights up with an Aries full moon that affects your 10th House of Social Status. Full moons are times of results and culmination. In addition to gaining clarity on your love life, while we can’t promise anything in this job market, this date could see you hearing about a professional opportunity, so keep your eyes on your inbox.
The sun moves into Scorpio, kicking off spooky Scorpio season, on Tuesday, October 22, indicating that Halloween approaches. (Browse some costume ideas here). For the next few weeks, the sun is in your 5th House, which rules earthly pleasures. This could mean orgasms, a surge of creativity, or even, fingers crossed, financial abundance.
Finally, October comes to a close with Vesta, the asteroid of erotic spirituality, moving into your 4th House of Home and Family on Saturday, October 26. Vesta is all about the merging of the sacred and the profane. Continuing themes from the rest of this month, it indicates that not only clarity but divinity will infuse your love life. It’s okay to feel a little woo-woo this month, Cancer. We’ll see you in November.
