Scorpio 24 Oct - 21 Nov

The Sun's departure from your romantic sector yesterday may have taken the solar spotlight off matters of the heart, but romantic matters are far from forgotten. With Venus, the planet of love just five days away, things are set to become even more romantically charged next week. For now, as he moves into his final week in retrograde motion here, Mercury is able to turn even more focus onto the past.

While the Sun is still four weeks away from your relationship sector, the point in each year when the solar spotlight shifts onto your relationships, there is already a lot of focus. This will be put to the test as the Moon returns to Scorpio, with a need to expect some relationship tension, while seeing it as an opportunity to reveal where there is work to be done when it comes to balance.

With the Sun leaving your romantic sector today and Mars moving into his final 10 days on the relationship front, there should be a lot more urgency. Especially as life is set to become a lot busier. Yet the fact that instead of urgency there is a growing sense of romantic and relationship confidence and anticipation, suggests the love and relationship gods still have some wildcards up their sleeves.
