So much has changed over the course of the past few months and years. Relationships must now also adapt to reflect this new life experience and sense of self.
The new moon in Libra on October 16, 2020 at 12:30 p.m. PT is helping us to clear out all the old relationships, or ways of relating, that are preventing us from moving forward in this new and different way.
This new way of doing relationships will be one that is slower, more patient, and more understanding of the emotional needs of everyone involved.
With Mercury now retrograde in the sign of Scorpio, we may be having a lot of conversations at this time to get to the bottom of what has been keeping us stuck in old patterns with relationships. This is all so that we can come out of these challenging situations and step into something that is more stable. We may also be reconnecting with people from our past in order to get closure.
The idea behind re-working old situations is that we’re digging out old patterns. But doing so could create a little bit of frustration and confusion about what is next to come—especially as we wipe the slate clean of our old interactions. We could be unsure of where everything is going with relationships and how things will play out over time (and feel a bit in over our heads while we’re at it).
However, we are doing the important preparatory work in relationships so that we can get to a place of more clarity and ease in relationships over time. This is especially true as Mercury retrograde ends on November 3 and Mars retrograde ends ten days later on November 13.
As a result of these relationship adjustments, we could also be starting to create more balance in our lives after a time of much intense change. However, that balance is coming by first reflecting on our lives and progress, which many times happens through our interactions with other people.
Your relationships are about to change, Aries. However, the old people and ways of interacting need to be cleared out first. That can then create some confusion about how you leave the old habits and daily routines with them behind in order to step into new patterns that are more effective.
Your relationships with people at your job and on the day-to-day are about to change, but before that can happen, you may need to clear out old work relationships that are no longer serving you. This can then create some confusion about what makes you happy and how you can step up into a leadership position. It’s for the best, Taurus.
Relationships with your kids or a romantic interest may be changing to be something that you feel works better for you on the day-to-day and is more stable, but first, the old ways of working with them have to be cleared out. You could be confused about what you want or how you feel, Gemini. You may also be unsure of how to adjust your home and family in order to support the adjustments with kids and romance.
Relationships or situations with home and family members are about to take on a different form. But first, Cancer, the old ways of working with them have to be cleared. You could be confused about what the new way of working with home and family is, and what your beliefs are around these situations. You could also be moving or changing up your home as well.
The way you communicate with relationships is about to change, Leo. However, the old way of communicating needs to be cleared up first. You could be confused, uncertain, or a little insecure about how your finances will factor into these new situations with people on the day-to-day as you have these conversations and figure what changes need to be made.
Your finances, and the ways you work with people to make money and feel stable, are about to take on a different form, but first the old ways of working with them has to be cleared. As a result, you could be confused about yourself and your job and what that all will look like when things are said and done. You could also be confused about what the people you work with are hoping to create with you, Virgo.
Who you are in relationships and how you assert yourself with other people is about to change. However, Libra, the old ways of relating and working with people need to be cleared out first. That can then create some confusion or sensitivity around your old or past relationships and bring some things from the past back for emotional healing so that you can better stand up for yourself.
You are about to start an entirely new cycle with relationships all across the board—where you associate with different types of people and work with them in drastically different ways. However, you first may need to make amends with your past before you move forward. That can then create some confusion about what kind of future will make you happy, and what kinds of people you want to associate with.
Your friend group or how you interact with friends is about to change. However, a lot of old friends need to be cleared out so that you can figure out who you want to associate with. That could then create some confusion about the direction you want your life to go in and what career will resonate with you. Try to find and figure out who is a part of your new soul tribe, Sagittarius.
Some of the most important relationships for you, both personally and professionally, are about to take on a different form. However, Capricorn, many things from the past need to be sorted through first. That can create some confusion about how you work with them differently at your job or on the day-to-day. It can also create some confusion talking to them as well about these changes and sorting through the details.
You are about to meet many new people, Aquarius. They may be abroad or at a distance, who will bring new opportunities to you. However, the way you relate with others need to be reworked—especially with neighbors or people you are already close to. That could create some confusion about your finances and how that ties into meeting new people.
Pisces, relationships with sexual, business, or financial partners are about to change or take on a different form. However, some old things regarding those relationships need to be dealt with first—including some personal healing and a paying off of debts. That can then create some confusion about how you relate to these other people or work with them on the job.
