You tend to be somewhat cautious about what you share with others. Since the love planet Venus turned backwards in your 3rd House of Communications on October 8, it’s likely that you would be even more reticent to speak openly. Venus goes forward in this verbal part of your chart on November 18, which should get relationship matters, discussions and new ideas about romance moving ahead.

However, you may surprise yourself and those who know you best with an outburst of frankness that could be shocking even before then. This occurs when talkative Mercury, your ruling planet, enters mouthy Sagittarius and your 4th House of Roots on November 8. This can attract people who make big promises but who can also lift your heart and mind above the concerns about your daily life. This is also a chance for you to be more truthful with yourself as your defenses are lowered and you’re able to see bigger patterns that are usually difficult to discern.

The good news is that you can feel liberated by this awareness and able to act with even greater confidence when the Sun joins the party upon entering Sagittarius on November 22. You will be freer to look ahead with hope instead of being held back by old fears. Yes, you may become overly optimistic but that’s probably a healthier place for you to be than living in a world of self-doubt. Taking emotional risks isn’t easy but is probably wiser than playing it safe if your current relationship life is less than satisfactory.
