The Full Moon Oct. 6 lights up a relationship. If you’re single, Venus has a few tricks up her sleeve. She’s actually well-connected to the stars as she sparkles up your social scene. Initially it’s with Mars. The yin and yang of the galaxy begin their balancing dance. Then Venus stands up to authority (Saturn), which happens when you believe in yourself. Mars opposes Chiron, triggering a healing crisis. The New Moon Oct. 20 is a blank slate, offering a unique perspective. What was spinning out of control acts in your favor. This translates to trust, possibly hard to come by lately. If you’re in the mood, check out the theme for Roppongi Hills. See if it’s your kind of Halloween parade!
