It’s been the season of the hustle, but with Venus reversing in your career zone on Friday, October 5, due diligence is key. Venus governs our values, so when this planet goes backward, your judgment may get a bit hazy. If you’re planning any big career moves, make sure they’re anchored in reality: Through November 16, it will be very easy to get tempted by opportunities that may sound shinier than they are.

Remember, Aquarius, no job is perfect. Every situation, even those that fuel professional growth, requires negotiation. Under this sky, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of your choices. Things may not be exactly what they seem.

However, a new moon in Libra on Monday, October 8 will help expand your horizons. With the sun and moon connecting in a like-minded air sign, your curiosities will be reflected in your daily realities. This is an excellent time to travel, dive into a new hobby, or double-down on your intellectual pursuits. You’re a natural philosopher, Aquarius, so why not explore the unknown? Remember that you don’t need a passport to go on an adventure — some of the most exciting journeys are within our subconscious.

You shift into hyper-drive on Tuesday, October 23, when the sun crosses into Scorpio. By the end of the month, all eyes will be on you, so make sure you’re ready for a lot of attention. Whether that means polishing up your résumé, perfecting your elevator pitch, or simply sporting a new look, take advantage of this spotlight. Your ideas will be heard by people in important positions.

Of course, even good things come at a cost. The full moon on Wednesday, October 24 will reveal exactly where tension exists within your emotional world. Everyone makes compromises to achieve success, but now, these choices may feel more like sacrifices. Don’t let it get you too worked up, Aquarius.
