OK, you might be on the trail of something good, but there's a strong likelihood of you going over-board and not recognising that there could be strings attached to any deal. You could also over-spend. Perhaps the answer is to allow the voice of reason (a Virgo friend?) to be heard. A further possibility is renewed contact with someone from childhood and with whom you once shared a voyage of discovery. You might each need to agree to keep quiet about certain aspects of the past!

Someone close could be giving out confusing signals. Their passions might not be far from the surface – actual plans might lie in deeper waters though. You might enjoy trying to tease thoughts from them. Under your own surface, a degree of disquiet about personal future plans might manifest soon as an apparent change of mind. Mood swings are likely, testing a relationship.

Mentally you may now have two quite different objectives. One involves pleasing others, partying and preparing for weekend activities. Yon the other hand, you might be quite happy to put this on one side whilst you deal with practicalities. An older person might need to see that you've followed a set of rules and regulations diligently. Reassuring them (in a very social setting) could take priority.

Others may think that you're being unreasonable. They may ask you to take into consideration their health or other concerns. Yet it's possible that their actions in recent weeks have made your life more difficult than was necessary. It would be understandable if you were grumpy and cross. With both Mercury and Venus retrograde, and Mars making aspects to both, it would be all too easy to get into verbal war and so prolong difficulties. It's never easy to walk away but that could be your smartest move – at least for now. Mid-November both Mercury and Venus turn direct suggesting calmer times ahead. For now the accent must surely be on preserving that which has value, and making arrangements to cut loose from services and products that drain resources.
