The last few weeks have been a lot, and looking ahead, things don’t seem to be slowing down with midterms, Halloween, homecoming and more. However, the theme this week is recovery. It’s time to restore some harmony to your life, hit refresh if you can and wipe the slate clean.

The brightest point of the month comes Oct. 13, when the sun makes a trine to Jupiter, which enters retrograde on the 9th. This comes just days before Pluto goes direct in Capricorn on the 11th, bringing a really beautiful, abundant, sparkly, bright breath of fresh air for us all toward the end of the week. If you’re feeling extra grumpy or negative, take a nap, take a break and be really kind to yourself, Stars. 

Extra love,
A Pisces Sun, Aries Moon, Taurus Rising
