Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio early in October, and it’s going to make you rethink a lot about how you connect with others, especially if there’s distance involved. This month brings a deep re-evaluation of your ideals about love and what true intimacy means to you.

You’re a dreamy romantic, Pisces, and you love with devotion. This period asks you to look honestly at your desires, your beliefs about partnerships, and how you share your emotional world. Don’t shy away from these deeper questions.

If you’re single

If you’re single, October brings a lot of reflection on what you seek in a partner. Venus and Mercury both turning retrograde in your 9th house (travel, big ideas, long-distance connections) means you might reconsider your dating “type” or your approach to meeting people from different backgrounds.

Early in the month, a square between Mercury and Mars (n.1) could lead to some friction if you’re discussing future plans or big ideas with someone new. You might find you’re not seeing eye-to-eye on daily habits or long-term goals. With Venus also squaring Mars later (n.5), be prepared for differing opinions on what makes a relationship work.

The New Moon in Libra (n.4) in your 8th house (intimacy, trust, shared resources) around October 10 could open up a new chapter for emotional closeness. This is a powerful time to set intentions for deeper connection and sharing. As Venus later retrogrades into Libra (n.9), you might be re-examining how you share trust and resources with potential partners.

If you’re in a relationship

For those in a relationship, October centers on re-evaluation, especially concerning your shared future and intimacy. Venus and Mercury’s retrogrades in Scorpio (n.2, n.8) highlight your 9th house, bringing questions about your joint philosophies, long-distance travel, or how you expand your horizons together. You might find yourselves revisiting old dreams or questioning big plans.

Be mindful of communication around your routines and daily life. Squares involving Mercury and Venus to Mars (n.1, n.5, n.11) could spark disagreements about household chores, health habits, or how you both contribute to small acts of care. It’s important to talk things through rather than letting small issues simmer.

The New Moon in Libra (n.4) on October 10, in your 8th house (intimacy, trust, shared resources), offers a fresh start for deepening your bond. This is a moment to work on shared trust or discuss joint finances. Later, when Venus retrogrades back into Libra (n.9), you’ll have an opportunity to review these areas, making sure you both feel secure and understood.

Your love advice for October

With two significant retrogrades in your love sectors, this month calls for patience and introspection. Take time to think before you speak or act, especially regarding big relationship decisions or new connections. Journaling about your feelings and desires can help you gain clarity.
