On October 14th there will be a remarkable opposition between Venus and Uranus, which is retrograde. The former planet naturally dominates love, finances and self-esteem. The latter typically determines creativity, rebellion and chaos. When in retrograde, Uranus encourages you to explore new ideas, feelings, and experiences.
