Same vigilance on the 20th where possessiveness, jealousy or other excesses disturb sentimental life. From the 25th, Venus returns to Libra, bringing a less tense atmosphere.
Mars moves in Leo until 26 November. At the start of the sequence, pride from this sign leads to strong reactions and offensive actions. If aims are noble and proposals innovative, execution comes quickly, provided attention is given to others and reactions stay contained in case of opposition (2nd, 3rd, 10th). With measured attitude and no rush, construction takes shape over time on solid ground (16th). Otherwise, conflict ground appears when egos clash and create lasting tension (30th).

In October, Uranus increases change rhythm and stimulates reflection to move lines so progress and discoveries spread widely (7th).
Neptune returns to Aries since 26 January and brings a new impulse to a world lacking vision. Emergence of new ideals inspiring societies, with attention to certainties presented as absolute. In October, Neptune inspires initiatives on the 2nd. This influence does not ease current tensions and divergences between peoples and individuals.
Pluto in Aquarius opens access to varied dynamics, from constructive to darker expressions. Entry into a world where technology and artificial intelligence transform daily life, including medical fields, but also development of virtualization mechanisms that can distance from self and lead to excess. Attention is required so creations remain under human control and directed toward desired aims. In October, Pluto highlights its darker side by stirring passions and destructive power games (2nd, 3rd, 20th, 26th). Need to avoid feeding shadow zones in order to limit major drift.
