Astrologer Amy Demure says a Venus retrograde period that began with this month's Libra New Moon is set to bring rapid and dramatic changes for four zodiac signs, with the shifts unfolding after Venus returns to Libra on October 25. In remarks reported by YourTango, Demure described the coming two months as a time of relationship breakthroughs and deeper connections. She said people may find themselves pursued and may hear others confess true feelings. Demure also noted that with both Venus and Mercury retrograde, former partners often reappear, particularly where business was left unfinished, and that it is up to each person whether to engage.

Libra is most directly affected by the retrograde, especially once Venus moves into that sign on October 25. According to Demure, Libra has been wanting change and now has an opening to achieve it, and the stretch of repeated setbacks and disappointments is over. She said obstacles blocking the love, career success, wealth and life Libra has wanted can be cleared, and that solutions to long-standing problems may emerge over the next month. As with Aries, former partners may resurface, and Demure advised using discernment when pursuing connections.

For Capricorn, Demure said the Libra New Moon on October 10 had a significant effect that quickly advanced career success and set the sign on a path toward life-changing wealth. Over the next two months, she said, Capricorn is breaking free of cycles that kept it in unfulfilling career paths, welcome news for anyone who has been underpaid or overworked. She pointed to well-paying opportunities ahead and urged the sign to pay attention.

Cancer experienced an ending rather than a beginning under the October 10 New Moon, according to Demure. She said difficult times are over for the sign, and that in the first half of the month Cancer may have relived painful memories for an important purpose. Demure described the sign as releasing months or even years of emotional baggage and entering a new life era free of repeated disappointment, betrayal and rejection. She characterized it as the start of a freeing new chapter that brings the love Cancer has been waiting for.
