The truth isn’t always convenient, Aries, but it is necessary. October 16 may reveal some less-than-desirable relationship dynamics that have taken their toll on you. This isn’t only about the person you’ve been dating but about yourself as well.
Be honest with what comes up. Acknowledging where you could have done better is key for growth in the coming weeks.
Taurus

When you finally know what you deserve, you can never accept less, Taurus. On Friday, you will finally experience clarity about what it means to know your worth.
While you may have already thought you have been honoring what you deserve, an event on October 16 will reveal that you haven’t. But it's never too late to start.
Gemini

Slow down and think about how you feel, Gemini. You don’t always need to be focusing on someone else or the big moves in life. Actually, for you, it’s slowing down and sitting in your feelings that brings the greatest clarity.
On Friday, take some time alone to reflect on how you feel. The only way to truly know what you should do is to first honor what you’re genuinely feeling.
Cancer

Everything has changed, Cancer, so there is no point in pretending otherwise. It's better to honor what has changed, both in terms of your relationship and what you're starting to see that you want.
You’re not the same person you once were, and you can’t keep approaching relationships the way you have in the past. Embrace what has changed because there’s no point in trying to keep everything the same.
Leo

You have to be willing to get messy, Leo. Love isn’t always fun and games, nor is it straightforward and logical. Especially when you start getting into the realm of family and commitment, genuine love is messy, but it is real.
October 16 brings up a messy and inconvenient truth. You must be mature in how you approach it, as what you do will determine everything.
Virgo

Allow your priorities to shift, Virgo. It’s OK if what was once important to you now isn’t. That means you’ve grown and changed, and are now seeing ways to actually become better.
Yet, you need to honor that instead of pretending everything is the same. As your priorities shift, how you live your life and approach romantic matters will change too. But it’s all part of you creating a life that truly feels good to your soul.
Libra

Take time to think about what you want, Libra. You are on the cusp of making an important decision. This is one that you already know is coming, but it will bring a decision that you’re not expecting.
On Friday, you will surprise yourself with what you end up choosing, but it’s all positive. You are meant to choose new beginnings and yourself. And don’t worry, because as you do, the kind of love that you actually deserve will find you.
Scorpio

It’s safe to embrace change, dear Scorpio. Though you are going on a deep dive into your self-work and love during Venus retrograde, its purpose is to help you embrace change.
The better your relationship is with yourself, the more opportunities you're able to seize. Whether it’s for relationships or your career, loving yourself is what allows you to choose what’s best for you.
Sagittarius

There’s something you haven’t wanted to feel, Sagittarius. You can make a logical decision when it comes to relationships, but you can’t pretend it reflects the truth in your heart.
On Friday, you will be faced with some big emotions you’ve tried really hard to bury and avoid. This affects the choices you’ve made and continue to make in your romantic life, but it’s because you’re not meant to settle for what seems logical.
Capricorn

You may actually like the changes life brings, Capricorn. You can be so afraid of change that you miss the opportunities that come from it.
While you may have spent time trying to avoid your life changing, Friday brings the realization that you actually want it. This helps you surrender to what comes up and trust that wherever you’re guided is better than where you once were.
Aquarius

You deserve to be completely in love with your life, Aquarius. This means you must constantly reflect on whether all matters of this life actually feel aligned.
As you grow, you tend to go through more changes than most. This is not just in your career or love life, but in the life paths you choose. On Friday, be aware of a new truth that comes up, which will affect all aspects of your life. Choosing this truth helps you finally love your life, instead of just pieces of it.
Pisces

You deserve this second chance, Pisces. Something happens on Friday that challenges your inner narrative and how you thought your life would go. This is the return of a person or possibly an opportunity that makes you feel like everything is finally working out.
However, this time around, it doesn’t have the risk it once did. Instead, it feels like fate. You've become the person who’s ready for it.
