Saturn Retrograde Ends Tuesday — Making This Week A Good Time To Revisit Goals

But are you a voyeur or an exhibitionist? As Venus in Leo gets in a frisky formation with retrograde Mars in Aries, few will be shy about strutting their stuff. This fire trine can make us romantic and impulsive, which might be just what's needed to get stalled romances in motion, or stuck energy moving in fading relationships.

If ambitious plans seemed to hit a snag over the past five months, don't abandon hope! The ringed taskmaster Saturn has been enjoying his home-court advantage since December 19, 2017, serving us double-strength Saturn vibes until December 17, 2020.

As he shifts from reverse back into drive this week, give your life a review: Where could you elevate your standards? This planet demands excellence but abhors excess. And during this three-year tour through Capricorn, he's teaching us how to build a solid foundation for success, so we can feed the "family dynasty" for generations to come. If you hired unreliable contractors for your build, start handing out pink slips and go sourcing for the cream of the crop.

While retrograde for the past four months, Saturn forced a design review, stalling progress while inspecting every corner and insisting upon protocol. This astrological audit was not fun. But with Saturn's positive pivot this Tuesday, embrace the challenge of developing your dreams to the highest possible standard.

Get ready: The bar will be raised even higher as Saturn makes its final lap through Capricorn over the next three months. Don't get sidelined by what the "competition" is up to. There's always going to be someone doing it better, faster, or on a grander scale. Let them serve as inspiration instead of a discouraging ideal. For those who are willing to proceed slowly and masterfully, Saturn in Capricorn can be a major career booster.

Modesty and restraint become undeniably attractive as the beatific planet lingers here until October 27. This downshift may feel abrupt. Since September 6, Venus has been flipping her Vegas-size mane in Leo's lair, making everything feel "extra." The highs and lows, the dramatic arcs...it was all par for the course. With Venus moving on to Virgo this Wednesday, we'll get a much-needed break from Cupid's reality-show rose ceremonies.

But brace yourself! Whatever's been buried deep in Pluto's subterranean vault for the past five months could surface like hot lava from a volcano.

From nefarious activities to shocking secrets, what we discover probably won't be easy to take it in. Whether or not you agree, we're of the mind that it's better to know the facts than to remain in the dark. Investigate: What's real, and what's a mirage? And are people actually trustworthy or simply plying us with charm?
