Don't convince yourself that an unexpected development threatens a sense of security. Until October 18, Mercury moves backward to reveal how volatile something is that you believed to be secure or well-grounded. But it could also become clear what adjustments are needed to ensure that it upgrades security-wise to be more appropriate for your current circumstances. The transition might feel uncomfortable at first. But it won't take long for you to feel reassured by what changes!

How does that saying go? Is it 'less haste, more speed'? Or 'more speed, less haste'? Either way, you're likely to deal with confusing energy that won't benefit from an urgent or a hasty approach. You could be keen to resolve a matter, possibly not of your making. But as the month progresses, it could be clear that you must allow a process beyond your control to unfold as it intends to. Whatever arises, it's manageable and resolvable. Just try to dial back determination to force what won't be forced!
