As we inch towards the end of October, we’re getting closer and closer to the full moon, which will appear in the sky on Oct. 24. This month, it’s called the Hunter’s Moon. Every full moon brings about a powerful energy that is important to pay attention to — a full moon is connected to the new moon in that it is the time to complete the goals you made during the new moon. This full moon will affect everyone, but certain zodiac signs will be affected by the October full moon the most — and you should know if yours is one of them. This full moon is in…

After the summer of eleventy-million retrogrades, you’re probably looking forward to some karmic peace. Not so fast my friendlies. Venus turns retrograde Oct. 5, and she’s here to shake things up. Because Venus is the planet that retrogrades the least, the energy is mega intense. However, zodiac signs Venus retrograde 2018 will affect the least — Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces — will have the easiest time during Venus’s 40-day backspin. Venus only turns retrograde every 18 months and spends less time in that position than some of the bigger planets like Saturn and Jupiter. This means Venus has to pack a powerful punch into a short amount of time,…

It’s here! Just when you thought you were finally free of all the of this summer’s frustrating planetary retrogrades, Venus has entered its backward boogie to deliver some extra intense energy. The zodiac signs that Venus retrograde will affect the most: the signs Aries, Taurus, Libra, and Scorpio will all be forced to closely examine all matters related to love, values, and intimacy. According to Astrology.com, Venus retrograde will split its time between Libra and Scorpio. “When in Scorpio, Venus’ normally connective, pleasurable ways take on a dark edge, which may manifest as jealousy, envy, and hotter-than-hot relationships that turn colder-than-ice at the first threat of desertion.” When Venus makes…

From October 5 to November 17, Venus is retrograde. As the planet that represents all things beautiful: art, pleasure, wine, harmony, indulgences and love, this particular retrograde is bound to affect everyone until its retrograde comes to an end and it moves back into its orbital path. Although Scorpio, Libra, Taurus, and Aries are likely to feel Venus retrograde more than the other signs, that doesn’t mean everyone else is off the hook — which can be a good thing. “For Venus in particular, right before its retrograde period, it’s an ‘evening star’ which can be seen in the sky around sunset,” astrologer and psychic, Cindy Mckean, tells Bustle. “During…

Every year hundreds of tornadoes form in the skies above Earth. The rapidly rotating columns of air tunnel down from the clouds, twisting and turning as they travel across the ground. The extreme weather events can turn out to be phenomenally destructive, blowing away whatever stands in their way, and stronger rated twisters are sometimes even fatal. While tornadoes have been documented on every continent and can occur practically anywhere, North America boasts the most on average with the United States coming in at number one. The area south of the US-Mexico border is also where strong twisters commonly form and the Mexican state of Chihuahua is no stranger to…

We view most bear encounters as terrifying, life-threatening experiences — and funnily enough, sometimes bears see it the same way. Take this footage, for example. What appears to be a black bear (yes, black bears can be brown) was moving along and minding it’s own business when it nearly ran into a guy walking in the opposite direction. While the man’s reaction is what you’d expect from anyone who finds themselves in the presence of such an animal, what the bear did isn’t quite as anticipated. That bear is totally me when it comes to any social interaction. Jokes aside, I’m glad these two avoided a violent conflict. Watch as…

Losing one of the people that we are most fond of because another driver decided to operate their vehicle under the influence is one of the single worst experiences that a person can go through. We would not wish this sort of tragedy on our worst enemy. Why people choose to behave in such a selfish and irresponsible manner is beyond us and our hearts go out to all those affected. Tom’s friend Ray decided to become one of those drivers and he racked up a whopping five drunk driving charges along the way. Tom knew that he needed to take drastic action to keep his friend from continuing down…

It’s a cliché thing to say but it’s true, blood is thicker than water. You can pick your friends but family is for life. If you are fortunate to be born into a family with a good structure and a tight bond, it sets you on the right path no matter what circumstances you face. Siblings, in particular, can have the effect on each other’s life – especially when you’re the eldest, such is the case with these two brothers from Rio de Janerio. These guys charmed the internet after the elder sibling showed the younger his latest tattoo, which happens to be him wearing a lion’s head. It’s easy…

The first new moon of fall is accompanied by a strong feeling of déjà vu. While everyone will feel like Oct. 8 is akin to being an extra in the movie Groundhog Day, the zodiac signs the October 2018 new moon in Libra will affect the least —Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces — will be less influenced by the past than other signs. Known as mutable signs, these four signs come at the end of every season, so they’ve just wrapped up their karmic jobs for the year. This means that Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, who were intensely influenced by the September 2018 new moon that marked the end…
