Pisces Weekly Horoscope

After a few weeks of hosting (more like hiding) communication planet Mercury in your uber-private eighth house, you're ready for a big reveal. On Wednesday, September 30, the messenger planet joins forces with Venus in Scorpio and your candid ninth house until December 6—an extra-long cycle due to a retrograde from October 24 to November 13. While Scorpio energy isn't exactly forthcoming, this planetary pairing in your straight-shooting zone will stimulate you to get some things off your chest. But choose your audience carefully. For example, sharing the details of a breakup with your boss—or tout le TikTok—is never a good idea. Still, after three weeks of near invisibility, you'll be happy that people care what's going on in your life. During this Mercury cycle, you may get the itch to travel or learn more about your ancestry—or perhaps about one particular person from another background.

On Saturday, your love light may start shining inwards as amorous Venus turns retrograde until November 13. The backspin begins in Scorpio and your ninth house of truth, travel and optimism, then slips back into Libra and your intimate eighth house on October 25. Have you been using positive thinking to try to sidestep a conflict in a relationship, Pisces? You can't pep-talk yourself out of your honest feelings nor put off speaking up because you don't want to rock the boat! For the rest of October, stop painting sunshine over a legit issue and start addressing it directly (albeit diplomatically). Venus retrograde's gift is that it brings a golden opportunity to revisit the past and see where you can make things better. While broaching certain topics will be uncomfortable, once you open the floodgates, you'll feel so relieved! In all your closest connections, it's time to put long-range goals on the table and see how they align. Though discussions may reveal that you want different things, this isn't the end of the line. Use the next six weeks to cleverly brainstorm ways you can support each other's dreams. That might mean living in different cities for part of each year or reconfiguring finances temporarily so one of you can afford to go back to school. Put it all on the table and discuss! Need help falling under Cupid's spell? Before November 13, revisit a location that makes you feel like your most beautiful and magical self. You can journey solo or with a plus-one, but the point of the exercise is to connect to YOUR power, and the sensual parts of yourself that haven't gotten enough attention for a while.

Spoiler alert—or shall we say, advance preparation warning! When Venus slips back into Libra and your shadowy eighth house from October 25 to November 13, you may be more susceptible to the charms of a player, perhaps one who has visited your bed on prior occasions. Old habits die hard, especially when there's ultra-strong sexual chemistry between you. But since you know this could happen, you might consider blocking a few numbers just to keep that door shut for good. Or, you could fall under the spell of an enchanting raconteur who woos you with promises but fails to follow up. Fortify your willpower in October so you can make it to November 13 without getting swept into a dangerous liaison. Are you still ruminating over "the one that got away"? Venus' pivot could bring an old flame back into the picture who actually has soulmate potential. If the connection is still strong, it could be worth exploring, but don't expect to get a clear read on the situation until the middle of November.
