Stop sitting on the fence! Until November 25, mighty Mars gives you serious fire for creativity, romance and anything else you could use some passion aimed at. Just don't confuse enthusiasm with permission to interfere in everyone else's business. Mercury shifts your thinking toward shared money and responsibilities, making boundaries important. Sort out who owns, owes or handles what. You can be helpful without becoming everybody's unpaid superhero.

During October, you're urged to take a hard look at what you give in relationships: your time, money, trust and energy. If you've been handing over too much to placate someone, it may be time to admit it. Have an awkward conversation, listen to someone's answer and give yourself room to change your mind. Then check what you need and what you can afford to give – or keep giving. You're not selfish to expect more in return than you've been receiving lately.
