Venus turns retrograde at 10 degrees Scorpio today. She's closing a square with Mars at 8 degrees Aquarius. The exact clash takes place on Thursday, October 11th.
I'm guessing the best way to deal with this is to detach. But
Venus in Scorpio draws a person in, making this easy to say but hard to do.
If you're trying to resist a temptation, you can channel Saturn in Capricorn, concerned with patience and maturity. If you do get in a knife fight, you're very likely to be cut while you're cutting. This is a freaky time.
If you wonder what I mean by freaky, I don't think it's usual for people to push (Mars) others (Venus) to kill (Scorpio). Have we lost our collective mind?
You might be able to work with Monday's new moon in Libra in your own sphere. Balance or beautify something in your life. Compromise. Or as a double Aquarius friend of mine liked to say: "Try not to suck".
