October

October appears "interesting" due to the activity of Mars and Pluto in Capricorn throughout the second half of the month. Stressful aspects beginning on the 7th, continuing on the 13th through the 19th and beyond, present opportunities to those who see them as such, and potential difficulties to those who take a different view. Stumbling blocks can be stepping-stones once the rough edges are smoothed off. However, our vision may be clouded if we are too busy saying "ouch" instead of looking to see what can be done to work on those edges.

Mercury zips along in three signs. In the news and other communications with Mercury in Virgo we can expect a focus on health, details and diligence. As it enters Libra mid month we can expect a similar focus on fairness and the arts, possibly news of conflict and war. As it moves into Scorpio the24th we can expect the news to focus on crime, revelation of secrets, and even bitter attacks. Venus begins in Scorpio, emphasizing passionate choices, and then segues into Sagittarius where she helps us make choices philosophically.

Full Moon in Aries shines for us on the 16th of the month. What has been begun in the spring with the New Moon in Aries may now be coming to fruition. Whatever seeds you planted then can ripen and nourish you now. The New Moon is on the 30th in Scorpio. Think about the changes you wish to make. How can you transform what needs to be transformed, or renew what has lost its luster? Make a list and find ways to implement it. This month because it begins and ends with them there are two opportunities to utilize the Moon in Libra and the Moon in Scorpio. As well, the balancing and rebirthing energy of these two signs is vital to the changing of the seasons as we move deeper into fall.

Opportunities for a spiritual experience may be found on the 1st, the 4th brings chances to build good structure. The 5th brings an evening of potential passion and possible excess.  On the 7th Sun squaring Pluto begins a strenuous series of opportunity squares for 3 weeks of revelations and restructuring. The 10th and 11th are good for expanding knowledge. Be mindful in motion on the 12th and 13th, work to communicate well and be rewarded on the 14th, on the 15th stay out of quarrels and conflict.

On the 18th and 19th emphasize change and healing.  The 19th and 20th may bring clarity through inspiration. On the 25th be mindful of potential deception; meditate instead. The 26th could be helpful for enjoyable shopping or inventive creativity, The 27th is ideal for travel and communication. The 28th and 29th may bring surprises or disruption, By evening, Saturn's stability brings understanding and clarity. The 29th and 30th Neptune/Mercury trine with the New Moon may bring spiritual guidance. However, avoid self-deception.
