A True Team

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 26 | Exact: Oct 8, 2023

Whatever you have on your plates as a couple over the next several months, you should be able to deal with it well. Even undertakings that would normally be stressful for the relationship -- coordinating a party together, getting ready for a move, even launching a business enterprise -- should go even more smoothly than you might hope, because you're both able to depend on each other now. There is a sense of trust between you that makes it a lot easier to get things done. You both know that your sweetie is holding up their end of things, which frees you up to work on your own end. Furthermore, you're both very aware now of each other's strengths, which you'll notice complement your own. One of you is better at organization than the other, but the other is a genius when it comes to motivating the team and making things happen. Together, you're a formidable force! So put your heads together and figure out the biggest, most daunting project that's on your combined horizon. Then, work out a game plan together and get started. You'll be amazed at the results you can achieve!

Being More Sociable

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 26

You could become more romantic with each other this year than you've ever been before, because a creative spark is enlivening your relationship during this period, making you both think of brand-new ways to let each other know how much you care. But this exciting energy isn't confined to just your connection; it will also influence your friendships with other people. You're both in the mood now to be social, to get out of the house and get together with groups of friends who are doing something fun and different. You're likely to make new friends during this transit, ones who open your eyes even wider to the possibilities the world holds for you. The emphasis now should be on creative, original ways to connect with each other and with other friends, and to express your affection for each other and the people around you. This year should also bring you something positive in the way of finances, too. Unusual investments may work out better than you thought, or a new source of income could develop in a surprising arena. At the very least, you should have enough extra cash to go out a little more often with your friends.

Sweet and Easy

Before 09/27/2023 to Sep 27

Things feel sweet and easy this week. Your bond is a source of pleasure, support and warmth for both of you. Things just feel natural and right. Any recent tensions that have been bugging you fall away, or at least recede into the background. So take advantage of all the good energy -- get out of the house together for some fun to strengthen and renew your connection. It's the perfect time for a romantic date or to get together with friends for board games, dinner parties or a pickup softball game -- anything fun and active that will make you laugh and bring you closer together! And if there have been any recent tensions marring the surface of your relationship, this might be a good time to address them. It's fine if you want to just enjoy the sweetness of the moment and not discuss heavy subjects, but if you do decide to tackle some little issue between you, you'll both be more receptive now to listening calmly. If an argument results, it shouldn't get too heated, because you both have the best interests of the relationship in mind now. But keeping things simple, sweet and friendly may be your best bet. Every relationship can benefit from a period of warmth like this.

An Attractive Couple

Before 09/27/2023 to Sep 28 | Exact: Sep 28, 2023

As a couple, you're both at your articulate, sociable and attractive best this week. Important social functions -- such as fundraisers or dinner with the boss -- go even better than they would have if you'd each attended alone. Other people are impressed by what a friendly, intelligent and good-looking duo you make! And there's nothing like a good impression to grease those wheels. But the current energy isn't wasted on simple social gatherings or one-on-one dates, either. You're both feeling much more like getting along than going head-to-head on any subject, so conversations go smoothly now. In fact, this would be a good time to have a little talk about any problems that have been affecting your relationship lately. You'll be able to articulate yourselves better than usual, and you'll both place harmony over all else, making it easier to stay calm and get along. But don't feel as though you have to spend this period discussing heavy issues. This is a time to be light of heart. A great date now might be to a gallery opening or a botanical garden -- someplace where you can soak up the beauty together, and revel in the sweetness of your connection.

Stars In Your Eyes

From Sep 27 to Oct 1 | Exact: Sep 30, 2023

You're extra tuned in to each other during this ten-day transit, at a level that you don't normally get to indulge in and enjoy. You could have experiences like knowing exactly what's going through each other's heads, or picking up the phone to call each other only to find that you're already connected. The current energy is the kind that binds you together at a subtle level and intensifies your sensitivity toward each other's moods and needs. You can offer each other a lot of sweetness, compassion and support now...and let's not forget the romance! Yes, this is a wonderful time to reaffirm your bond and your love for each other with a little good, old-fashioned lovemaking. A picnic on a hillside at sunset would be the perfect date for you now, or taking a canoe out to a secluded spot on the lake. Anything that lets you enjoy each other's company and get lost together in all the wonderful possibilities of your love is perfect. Yes, you're a little bit idealistic now, and you're putting each other up on a pedestal -- but so what? You can spend the rest of the year being realistic about the limitations of your bond. Now is the time for stars in your eyes.

Embrace the Unexpected

From Sep 27 to Oct 3 | Exact: Oct 2, 2023

During a week like this one, it's best not to try too hard to stick to the status quo you two have established for your relationship. Instead, embrace the unexpected moments of sweetness that will arise, because that's what the current energy is all about -- spontaneous expression of your affection for each other. You're both feeling a little more energetic and playful than usual. You want to connect with each other in a new way, so don't close yourselves off to your sweetie's suggestions -- and open yourselves up to exploring your own fantasies! This could be a really fun period if you open yourself up to all things wild, weird and wonderful. Also, stay open to unexpected get-togethers with old friends and new acquaintances. If you say yes to all social invitations -- and you should -- you're bound to get into something fun and new and different from what you normally do. And what could be better than that? If you let it, this period will go a long way toward revitalizing your interest in the relationship and broadening your sense of what's possible between the two of you.

Getting Through to Each Other

From Oct 4 to Oct 8 | Exact: Oct 8, 2023

You can really get through to each other this week. Sometimes communicating can be so confusing, even downright difficult, but right now those pathways are wide open, making it a grand time to put your heads together and connect. If the air needs clearing, make it happen now: You can say what you mean, mean what you say and really get through to each other. Also take some time this week to take stock of the relationship as a whole, either together or each on your own. Think about what you hoped the relationship would be as compared to what it has turned out to be. Are things going the way you'd hope? Is it turning out to meet or exceed your dreams? Here's hoping that the answers to both are a resounding 'yes' -- but if not, not to worry. This period is perfect for getting things back on track if they've gone off-course. Plan a summit meeting -- er, date -- to get together, connect, talk, make plans for the future and focus on any areas of the relationship that aren't living up to their potential. And finally, remember that things don't have to be so serious! While there's a wonderfully clear-headed energy now, it's also a great week just to make each other laugh.

Venus trine Mars

Turned On and Tuned In

From Oct 4 to Oct 11 | Exact: Oct 9, 2023

You two are feeling really in love now. All the good things that come with it -- attraction, passion, excitement, warmth -- are in high gear this week. You've both got a renewed sense of just what it is that connects you, and keeps that connection going through the dull days and the difficult ones. Ah, it's days like these that are the real gold of a relationship! You only have to look at each other this week to feel turned on and tuned in. Getting together with friends would be great now, if you can spare the one-on-one time -- you might just want to stay in together, with the bedroom door firmly shut! But you are both feeling social, and you should get out and have a good time with good friends. At home, you can give this new sensual energy running between you a boost by cooking together or doing something fun and hedonistic like taking a candlelit bath or giving each other massages. Whatever your desires might be this week, you should voice them, or otherwise make them known. You're both in the mood to pleasure each other, as much as you want to seek your own; you're both even more open than usual to fun, sexy, passionate play.

Mercury sextile Sun

Speaking Your Minds

From Oct 5 to Oct 6

You probably won't have much downtime together during this fun, active ten-day period. If you're on the couch watching TV together, you're both laughing and yelling at the TV; if you're trying to take a nap together, new thoughts and ideas will keep popping into both of your heads, and you'll just have to get it out. And when you're apart, the phone calls, emails and IMs will be never-ending. What fun! But even more than fun, this is a real opportunity to get to know each other even better than ever before. You'll amaze each other with your honesty and your insights. You'll open up in ways that you usually don't. And you may even surprise yourselves with what comes out of your mouth when the two of you are together. Because of all the heightened clarity of communication going on, this is an excellent time for making plans and decisions together. As a team, you can weigh out all the pros and cons of a situation and decide together where to go next. If there's something important or serious on your horizons -- an upcoming new job, move or other change -- you can talk things out and make sure that both of you are comfortable with where things are going.

Cuddling Up and Tuning In

From Oct 7 to Oct 9 | Exact: Oct 9, 2023

Your connection feels a lot more intuitive this week than usual. You're tuning in with each other in a way that goes beyond simple conversation or other aboveboard signals. You're both feeling rather sentimental about your bond, and you want to show each other how much you value the relationship by tuning in and supporting each other on an emotional level. This could be a bit of a low-energy week, so don't be surprised if you're both more into dates that involve cuddling, talking and communing in sweet silence over dates that are about extreme energy output. You're a lot more likely to take a candlelit bubble bath together than to go out to the batting cages and hit the balls around! Your collective creativity is running strong now, so you may want to watch a lot of movies together this week or even create something artistic together -- a story or poem or painting that comes about through team effort. You're both feeling somewhat idealistic about your bond now, too, which is just fine -- if nothing else, it can counterbalance those times when you feel a little bit distanced from each other or even pessimistic about your future.

Mercury sextile Mercury

Feeling Turned On

From Oct 13 to Oct 15

Take a class together this week in something that interests both of you, or even in a subject that's brand-new; or read a book together, or watch a history show on TV. In some way, you both want to be enlightened when you get together now. You want to use your minds and talk over all the ideas that come into your heads. Your energy is sparked up when you get together, and for now, instead of being sexual, it's intellectual. You're both feeling chatty and communicative, and ideas are important to you -- not just what happened to each of you today, but how it made you feel and what it made you think of. You can expect to stay up late chatting at least a few nights this week; when you get together, you'll both feel that energy humming in your veins, making you listen up, tune in and focus. You may have a lot of busy work to take care of together, such as paying bills, negotiating contracts and the like. If so, you'll tackle it as a team and it will only add to the feeling that you're working together in a fun and interesting way. It would be a good idea to get outside this week and get some exercise, just to help burn off some of that energy!

Venus sextile Saturn

A Serious Assessment

From Oct 16 to Oct 21 | Exact: Oct 20, 2023

Spend some time this week discussing your relationship, including its weak points. You're both able to take a serious view of things now, without blinders or filters that can distort your view of reality. Though that may not seem very romantic, it's actually a good thing -- you're in touch with the truth of your relationship, which is the perfect foundation for improving anything that needs it. Neither one of you is expecting more out of your bond than you're going to get, which means the pressure is off. Whew! That's when you can really start tackling the big issues and deciding whether or not you've made a match that's going to last. Now, that's not to scare you or make you uneasy; facing the truth can seem like a nerve-racking prospect, but in truth, you'll be able to do it as a team this week, calmly and honestly. The energy at work now ensures that any decisions you make as a couple regarding your bond are good ones. If you stay together, it's with your eyes wide open and fixed firmly on the future. If you decide that you're not as great of a match as you might wish, you'll be able to proceed from there with mutual respect and good wishes.

Progress as a Couple

From Oct 20 to Oct 26

During this period, the two of you can make solid decisions as a team that will bring satisfaction and success to your relationship. When you get together during these few weeks, a particular energy will be created -- the energy of industry, of hard work and excitement about the future. You're not just making plans together now, you're acting on them. It's like you're putting money into the bank, only the money is your combined efforts and the bank is your relationship itself. You can work on problems together, or projects around the house. Thus, this period could be more about hard work and progress as a couple than anything so frivolous as romance, but that's fine with both of you. There's a sense that the work you're doing together now is more important than the frills -- as if, in essence, you're getting down to the meat of the relationship and creating something wonderful together. Whatever else you tackle during this period, it would be a good idea to eat well and exercise together as well. Keeping your energy up is key, because if you let it flag, you won't get as much accomplished, and a valuable opportunity will have been wasted.

Jupiter sextile Saturn

Truly a Team

From Oct 24 to Oct 26

Over the next few months, you'll enjoy a balanced view of your relationship -- one that is both optimistic and practical. Rather than being idealistic about what you can achieve together, which often leads to disappointment down the line, now you're realistic about your bond. You know what you want to achieve together and how to make it happen, and this period offers you the perfect opportunity to set your goals in motion. You can make solid plans together now, ones that are based in a clear sense of reality and a willingness to really apply yourselves to the task at hand. This period could be a trust-building one for you both, because it will show you that you're both invested and involved in the relationship. You're truly a team now, and you should take advantage of this dynamic. Examine the hopes and goals you have as a couple. Which ones are realistic, and which ones are little more than pipe dreams? Discard the pipe dreams, but make the workable ones a reality. If you apply yourselves and your energies throughout this period, you'll come through it a stronger, closer couple, and you'll be much closer to the relationship and the life you've been dreaming of.

Focus on Taking Care of Business

From Oct 26 to Oct 26

This ten-day period may not be a barrel of monkeys for the two of you; the focus is off laughter and romance and on taking care of business. But what a lot of business you can tackle this week, when you work as a team. You're disciplined and focused when you're together; when one of you starts to stray from the task at hand, the other can gently bring you back around again. When you put your heads together, you can work out almost any snag, solve almost any problem. All of those skills are your forte now as a couple, and you should certainly put them to use in whatever arena is appropriate. Do you have some paperwork to finalize together, or a project around the house that needs attention? Does one of you have a family situation that needs resolving, something that could go more smoothly if you both work on it together? Whatever it is, give it your attention as a team now. You can also help each other simply with working on or understanding something on a personal level, such as an interesting problem in your school work or career. Now would also be a good time to help each other brainstorm ways to chat up your boss for a raise or promotion.

An Exciting Phase

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 7 | Exact: Oct 4, 2023

This period of a few weeks could be just the injection of excitement and spontaneity your relationship needs -- or it could make you feel seriously insecure, as your bond takes twists and turns that are completely unexpected. It's up to you how you experience the energy of this period, but either way, it will at least be an exciting phase! You're both feeling just a little bit rebellious. You want something to shock and amaze you about your sweetheart, about the bond that you share -- you want to be shown that, however long you've known each other, there are still secrets to uncover about each other. Making plans probably won't work out very well now; instead, play it by ear, and follow where your urges take you. Scheduling an evening or a weekend would only lead to broken plans, so just leave your time open. Your impulses will take you where you want to go. Now, do be careful that you don't do anything too rash or impulsive! This is the kind of energy that could make some couples elope, or break up, or get into a sudden argument for no reason other than an excess of energy. If you're in the mood for something new, make it fun and experience it together.

Sun conjunct Pluto

Old Issues Renewed

Before 09/27/2023 to Sep 29 | Exact: Sep 28, 2023

This period could be an intense one for the two of you, but will ultimately prove beneficial. You're likely to get into some power struggles with each other now; you might both feel calm and centered on your own, but when you get together, something big is bubbling to the surface, demanding that you deal with it. And your way of dealing with it might well be to argue, or take subtler routes of attempted domination and control. 'I'm holding the remote control tonight, honey,' you might say, with a grin pasted on to hide the fact that your jaw is set like concrete! Whatever's coming up is something that's been there for a long time, so why not go ahead and face it down now and be done with it, once and for all? It could be an intense, even difficult process, yes. But it could also be really transformative for your relationship as a whole. By the end of this ten-day period, you could both feel as if you understand each other and yourselves and even your bond infinitely better than you did a week ago. Expect intense sexual chemistry now, too -- even if you're arguing a lot, or even because of it. Something about your mutual displays of domination will really turn you both on!

Mercury conjunct Pluto

Mutually Intense Focus

From Oct 4 to Oct 8 | Exact: Oct 7, 2023

Has either of you been keeping secrets of any kind? Because it's likely that they'll come out now. No, not big, deep, terrible secrets; more the kind of secrets that will surprise and even delight you when you uncover them about your sweetie, whom you thought you knew so well. You'll have deep and intense conversations with each other this week and discover things about each other that you've never even guessed at before. What fun! Isn't it exciting to discover new and interesting things about your intimate partner? You can also turn this depth of perception outward toward any projects or other matters that are calling for your mutual attention. Together you're focused on becoming healthier, stronger and more truly yourselves, so this would be a great time to discuss joining the gym or even going to counseling together. You can also turn your attention now to wrapping up old, unfinished business. Are there any overdue bills that need to be paid, or business matters that you've left dangling while other parts of your lives have taken precedence? Tackle it all now, this week, when you've got the combined energy and focus needed to really get things done.

Sun conjunct Uranus

Feeling Sparked Up

From Oct 12 to Oct 19 | Exact: Oct 18, 2023

Hmm, this ten-day period could go either way. It could be really fun, a time when you're both feeling sparked up, spontaneous and ready for anything new and fun...or it could verge into the arena of a little too much instability, and could actually lead to arguments and other mini-flare-ups that undermine the solidity of your bond. It's all in how you handle this energy, which will certainly fire things up between you, one way or another. This would be a great time to go on an impromptu day trip, or do something together that you've never done before. Something a little bit daring would be just the ticket, like skydiving or bungee jumping! But you might be inclined to do something really risky together, like eloping or deciding to move in together. Just try to be careful; sudden moves can often lead to regrets later. Think it through before you act. For now, smaller ways of tasting the unusual side of life would be better: Go see a foreign film together, and then discuss it over a meal of ethnic cuisine that neither of you has ever tried before. Anything more major than that could end up being disruptive to your relationship, instead of a fun way to do something new together.

Mercury conjunct Uranus

Forward Thinking

From Oct 16 to Oct 19 | Exact: Oct 19, 2023

When you put your minds together this week, you'll come up with some crazy stuff -- some of it downright brilliant. Any task or project that you're working on together can make real headway during this ten-day period, because you're bringing out the genius in each other. When you work together, your ideas are sparkling, and more than a little bit ahead of your time! This period is all about tossing around ideas rather than trying to hammer anything down or come to any definite conclusions. You can really get outside your normal ways of thinking together; you can be very innovative in how you approach any problem as a team. You'll also see the humor in any and all situations that you get into together, so this should be a fun period, one that renews your senses of interest in the relationship and in the possibilities that your shared future holds. This would be a great time to take some sort of class together, preferably in an area such as computer technology or Web design -- anything that encourages thinking outside the box. And if you have a chance to work as a team on a project like this, then so much the better! You'll leave all the other teams in the dust.

A Siren's Call for Change

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 26

The world is changing around you, and you both feel that strange, deeply rooted siren's call to join in the changes -- to transform yourselves and your relationship into something brand new. Will your relationship survive this period of fluctuation? That remains to be seen, but there's nothing inherent in this transit that will break you two up. On the other hand, the energy affecting your relationship for the next few years is a powerful and unpredictable one. You'll both ask yourselves difficult questions over the course of this period, such as, Do your core values and ambitions really match up well? If the answer is 'No,' you may decide to take separate roads in life. But if you're together because you share similar views and desires, then this could be a really interesting period of shared growth and transformation. You may decide to join some political or social movement together, one that takes you places you could never have anticipated. This probably won't be an easy journey -- your old friends and acquaintances may oppose the new you -- but it will be interesting, and the changes you'll undergo now will alter the courses of your lives.

Jupiter square Mercury

Let Others Have the Stage Too

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 12

You'll both feel infused with new energy over the next few months, as new ideas occur to you and broaden your perspective of your relationship and even of life itself. You're both in the mood to be social, but your friends might actually find you a bit hard to take at the moment. When you're together, you're just so absorbed in each other and your own, combined point of view! After all, it's wonderful that you feel like you're figuring out big, important things about each other and your connection -- but do you really think your friends, your coworkers and the lady at the grocery store checkout counter really want to know about it? They've got their own problems and epiphanies to keep them busy, without having to ooh and ahh over yours. So try to be a little more self-controlled when it comes to all the amazing things you're figuring out about love, life and relationships. You might even find that -- gasp -- you learn something even more amazing when you keep your mouths shut and your ears open in social situations. And your friends will definitely appreciate getting a chance to present their own opinions, without having to fight to be heard!

Mercury opposite Jupiter

Take a Chill Pill

Before 09/27/2023 to Sep 27

When you get together this week, you'll both be running off at the mouth -- talking, arguing, monologuing... At the moment, neither of you has any sense of when enough is enough; you'll just keep on talking, or yelling, unless someone (such as your sweetie) stops you. And how will they stop you? By saying something that upsets or offends you, probably because you've misheard them -- because who can listen carefully when they're talking as much and as fast as you will be? It's not just you, either; your sweetie is doing the same thing, and you both need to take a mutual chill pill. Try to listen instead of exaggerating. Another possibility now is that, instead of arguing, you'll be in agreement -- but neither of you has any real sense of reality or perspective at the moment. You could talk each other into a frenzy over something that's really a minor thing, or something that you've misinterpreted from the start. Try to keep in mind that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is; and if you're suddenly up in arms over something or someone, it has more to do with your current state of mind than with them, or with reality.

Mars square Venus

Off-Kilter

Before 09/27/2023 to Oct 3

You both feel off-kilter during this period, as if your needs aren't being met and there isn't any effective way to communicate about it and change things for the better. But instead of just staying calm and trying harder to make that connection, you'll both respond by getting more and more aggressive and insistent until you're embroiled in an argument, both pouting and lashing out like angry children. No fun! Though it may seem counterintuitive, what's going on here at base is that you're both feeling very turned on by your relationship and you're both really wanting to tune in; but the energy at hand is preventing you from making that connection, and you're both acting a little bit, well, immature about it. Overreactions are highly likely now, and it's even more likely that whatever you're feeling upset about exists more in your mind than in reality. It's also likely that you'll encounter mismatched energies again and again, such as one of you feeling randy when the other just wants to curl up and take a nap. Try not to get too upset about this kind of mismatched energy or blow things out of proportion. This period only lasts a few weeks; things will even out after that.

Sun square Saturn

Feeling Restrained

From Sep 29 to Oct 5 | Exact: Oct 4, 2023

At the moment your relationship could feel like a source of frustration, friction or limitation, certainly not like the fun, romantic romp that you might both wish it could be. But hey -- you've had your fun, romantic times, and you'll have them again. This period only lasts about ten days or so, and your best bet is just to endure the heavy energy instead of making it worse by worrying about what it all means. Besides, what you're going through is a very important phase for any relationship: a sort of reality check that will ground the two of you in what your relationship really is capable of becoming, rather than what you hope or dream that it could be. Realizing the limitations of your bond can be a bit depressing, of course -- but if you're to be together for the long haul, it's a necessary period of disillusionment, and one you'll be glad for once you're through it. After all, relationships are work. That honeymoon phase in the beginning can't last forever; and why would you want it to? If the goal is to create a stable bond, to become a true team, a partnership, this period is essential to strengthening that bond and putting your teamwork on the line.

Mercury square Saturn

Get Creative

From Oct 8 to Oct 11 | Exact: Oct 10, 2023

The two of you are going to have to get a little creative during this ten-day period -- which will be easier said than done. Any plans you've made could go out the window, especially ones that weren't very well founded in the first place. You'll be required to think on your feet, but that could be hard now, because your instincts will tell you to stick with what you've already set out and try to make it work. When it doesn't work as you thought it would, you could both start feeling pessimistic about the whole project; and since you're both feeling that way, who's going to be the cheerleader who picks you both up and inspires you again? Good thing this is a relatively short transit! Try not to turn your pessimism toward each other, because it will be all too easy now to get unfairly critical of each other's efforts. 'You're not holding up your end of things,' one of you might complain; you might even get into arguments, asking each other, 'What were you thinking? Of course that wasn't going to work!' But remember that you're in this together. That's what relationships are all about. If you can both loosen up your thinking, things will go much more smoothly.

Sun square Venus

Lazy and Affectionate

From Oct 8 to Oct 14 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

You won't get a lot done together during this ten-day period; when you get together, you'll both just want to revel in your bond. You'll find it hard to focus on anything tedious or mundane, like schoolwork, housework, paying bills or getting to the office on time in the morning. It's so much nicer just to loll around in bed together, cuddling, giggling and whispering sweet words of affection! But hey, even though you two are enjoying a little renaissance of love, the world's still carrying on around you. In a week or so, you may have to play catch-up on the extra work that piled up while you were ignoring your responsibilities together. Oh well; that happens sometimes. And what fun it is while it lasts! You'll gaze into each other's eyes, each of you feeling like you're staring at the world's most gorgeous person. You could even both put on a few pounds now, because cooking up rich, sumptuous meals or treats together is high on your list, while hitting the gym probably isn't. If there's something that one of you absolutely has to get done this week, you may need to spend some time apart just to make sure you don't distract each other.

Play Nice

From Oct 10 to Oct 19 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

Even if you feel placid when you're on your own during this three-week period, you'll both get worked up whenever you get together. You'll circle each other like a couple of alley cats, backs up, teeth bared, ready for conflict. If you live together, this could be an especially rough period because there's no place where you can get away from each other, and territorial issues loom large now. You might get into silly arguments about who did the dishes last or which one of you needs to make the bed in the morning. Though these little spats are over minor things that wouldn't normally bother either one of you, they speak to a deeper issue: You two are working out some inner aggressions that usually lie dormant, which have to do with independence and standing up for your own perspective. When we get into relationships, we naturally tend to suppress parts of our own personalities in the name of togetherness and true romantic unity. But that can lead to some serious feelings of rebellion from time to time, and that's what you two are experiencing now. So play nice! But do use the energy of this period to get in touch with the real, inner you.

A Frustrating Connection

From Oct 10 to Oct 21 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

Making time to chill out, relax and collect your thoughts is going to be difficult but essential for both of you during this period. And it may be something that each of you has to do on your own, because for the moment, some seriously aggressive and frustrating energy is at work in your relationship. Whenever you two get together this week, you're both just instantly in a defensive frame of mind, ready to fight -- even if there's nothing really wrong. It'll sure feel like something's wrong; things just seem out of kilter between you, and you're both taking the 'when in doubt, shove' approach to problem-solving. Rather than staying calm and patient and talking things out, you're both much more apt right now to yell it out, to hurl accusations and projections rather than listening to what your sweetie is feeling and thinking. Issues like jealousy, possessiveness and other challenges could rear their ugly heads now, making each of you behave in ways that later you'll look back on with regret. All of which is why your best bet might just be to spend a few days apart, meditate if you can, and hold on to all the myriad reasons why you care about each other.

A Rosy Dream of Love

From Oct 12 to Oct 18 | Exact: Oct 17, 2023

The two of you are living out a dream this week -- a pleasant one, to be sure, but one that is distinctly separate from reality. You may both be putting each other and the relationship up on a pedestal, ignoring the very real flaws in each other and your bond; and for the moment, that's okay. But don't be surprised next week if the return of your normal sense of reality includes a feeling of letdown -- as if all those pretty dreams you wove together about your love are just flimsy fantasies, nothing that could ever stand up against the harsh reality of real life and relationships. Both perspectives are wrong, by the way; romance by definition includes a bit of fantasy and idealism, and relationships by definition are difficult, requiring dedication and maintenance. There's no reason to swing from dreamy idealism to pessimism, but that's just what you'll do if you're not careful to remind yourselves of the truth about things. Speaking of truth, be sure to be honest with each other this week, even if you think you're telling a little white lie for the sake of preserving the peace. Any untruths you tell now will come back bigger and much worse later.

Listen Up

From Oct 13 to Oct 16 | Exact: Oct 16, 2023

Miscommunications this week could leave both of you feeling a little frustrated or embarrassed. You might make a date and then find that you both had different ideas in your minds of what, when and where; or one of you could be feeling amorous and chatty while the other just isn't in the mood for much interaction. If things do get tense, try not to let them devolve into criticism and arguments. It's not your sweetie's fault, any more than it's yours; this is just one of those weeks when snafus will happen with annoying regularity, and you'll both just have to roll with the punches. You may end up having to discuss things that neither one of you wants to talk about, such as problems in the relationship. Be especially careful in your communications if you're working together on something that's supposed to beautify things around your home. Again, you could find that you each have very different ideas of what's supposed to happen and when, and if you're not careful, things could turn from pleasant to unpleasant fast! Be clear about your own expectations, and listen carefully when your sweetie is voicing their own. Snafus can be avoided if you both just listen up.

Arguments Are Likely

From Oct 18 to Oct 25 | Exact: Oct 24, 2023

Confrontations are likely during this ten-day period. Your relationship is feeling far from calm and cozy; instead, when you get together, you're both sparked up and just a bit on edge, even if you felt fine earlier. Neither one of you is being careful at the moment about what you say and how you say it, or how you come across. And whether you realize it or not, you're both feeling just a little bit competitive when it comes to each other. That feeling could -- and probably will -- make you both behave in ways you normally wouldn't. You'll have short fuses when you're around each other, and lots of little things will set you off; never mind the bigger struggles that will inevitably come up this week! If possible, try to spend some time apart. Teamwork isn't your strongest asset at the moment, so projects that you'd normally work on together, like housework or a board game with friends, won't go very well. Try going it alone, just for now. You'll both get more done apart than you would together, because there won't be that aggressiveness thrown into the mix, creating obstacles in your progress. This energy will pass in a week or so, and then you can work and play together again.

Irritable Energy

From Oct 19 to Oct 23 | Exact: Oct 22, 2023

The two of you will lack a sense of perspective in your communication this week, and you won't know how to choose your battles. Little things will seem big; big things will seem gigantic! When you get together during this period you'll both be poised for an argument, almost as if you're looking for a fight. You're both excitable and irritable when you're around each other now, so you both need to take care not to set each other off. In fact, it may be best just not to spend much time together until this energy passes. If you live together, that could be difficult; things will feel tense, and you'll both have the impulse to react first and think later -- making you say things you'll almost certainly regret. You very likely to misinterpret anything your sweetie says. Maybe this week is a good time to watch a movie instead of going out to dinner, because there's less chance of conversation during a movie! Find ways to be together that aren't combative. Also, be careful in general, especially when you're angry. With all the excitable energy in the air, neither one of you is being as careful as usual, and that's how accidents happen.

Be Patient

From Oct 21 to Oct 25 | Exact: Oct 22, 2023

This week you're both talking, but neither one of you is hearing what the other is trying to say. Arguments are likely because you're both misunderstanding each other's intentions; when you're together, you'll both get offended more quickly and easily than when you're apart. Good thing this period lasts only a week or so! And if you both can exercise a little patience, you could skate right through this potentially troublesome influence with little or no trouble at all. But it's likely that you will have to work at least a little harder than usual at making yourself heard, and also at listening carefully to what your honey is trying to say. The impulse will be strong now -- for both of you -- not to let the other person finish their sentence, because you'll want to answer whatever they've just said as soon as possible. But a little patience and self-control will go a long way here! If you're feeling critical of each other, try to keep it under your hat; the irritation of this period will pass through when the energy abates. If a truly important issue comes up, on the other hand, now would be a good time to speak honestly, even if what you have to say isn't what your sweetheart wants to hear.

Easily Distracted

From Oct 21 to Oct 26 | Exact: Oct 26, 2023

Let's hope you two don't have any pressing business to tend to this week, like, say, work or paying the bills, because when you get together, neither one of you will be in the mood to buckle down. Instead, you both want to relax together, enjoying good food, long naps and some fine cuddle sessions. Getting up early to make it to work on time will feel like an impossibility this week, as will dragging yourselves to the gym or sticking to your diets. Even if you try to do those things together for the added motivation, you'll probably end up poking each other and making each other giggle, and then off you'll be, acting like a couple of silly teenagers instead of two responsible people with duties to attend to! If you don't live together, now may be a good time to spend a few nights apart, because if you get together you're just going to distract each other. Especially if you've got a lot of work to do or a big project on your plate, you should keep your distance -- because you're both really persuasive when it comes to playing hooky! Overspending is another big possibility for this period, so if you can't afford a shopping spree, wait till next week to get together.

Take a Chill Pill

From Oct 22 to Oct 26 | Exact: Oct 24, 2023

Things could feel a bit strained now. The two of you seem to be working at cross-purposes; your schedules are off, you're both a little moody, and your libidos might not be up to par. You might have lingering doubts at the back of your mind about the relationship -- is this really living up to everything you wanted it to be? Is it even what you thought it would be? Dissatisfaction and anxiety reign now. It's easy to press each other's buttons, and you know each other well enough to know just which ones to push! So don't do it. Keep a handle on yourself; stay calm even when things get tense. The best thing to do during a period like this is just hunker down and wait it out. If you can, spend a little time apart -- absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder. If you do have to spend a lot of time in close quarters, don't be surprised if arguments break out and feelings get a little hurt. If this happens, think of it as an emotional clearing of the air for your relationship -- an important thing to do every now and then, even if it's not a fun one. In a week or two, things will start to look rosy again, and you won't even remember what you were so upset about.

I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!

Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.

That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.

Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.

Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.

You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
