You begin the month preparing for a trip or others visiting you. The 1st thru the 5th is excellent for plans and arrangements going smoothly. The 9th could be very busy but turn out well. The New Moon on the 11th falls in the residence and family area of your chart. You desire peace, harmony, balance and beauty in your environment and family. Since Mercury turns retrograde on the 12th in the same area of the chart, what you desire may take until mid-November to achieve. The retrograde is a good time to complete projects already done but not to begin major ones. Mars enters the shadow of its retrograde on the 17th in your house of emotional memories, dreams and inspiration. You could have many emotional ups and downs between now and February, remembering the past. The Full Moon on the 26th occurs in your house of career and public image, bringing visibility to you and your talents.
