Everything changes. It’s what life is about. But like the seasons, life follows rhythms and patterns. The up, the down, the high, the low. If you pay close attention, you can feel the rhythm of the world and know what is coming next. Intuition? Maybe. Or is it just hearing the song long enough that you can play along. So here we go, sliding into what comes next. And yes, this is the time when things start to cool off, sustain or fall away. It’s easy to neglect this time between times. But this is the center—the sweet spot—really. So be here now! Don’t dwell in yesterday or get lost in dreams of the future. Live as if this is all there is. October really is the sweet spot in the year. Enjoy it!
Libra
Don’t try to turn back the clock or worry about what is past. Instead, lead a new way with innovation. Instead of waiting for a situation to change, be that change yourself. The sun is in your house this month and you will feel quite the need to socialize. Be sure to hold tight to the purse strings or the second half of the month will leave you scrambling. The moon usually has a pull on the beauty-loving Libra, but it will have life changing powers this time around so be aware around the 4th and the 18th.
Scorpio
You feel like just retreating from the world this month. Especially in the first half of October. However, you got yourself into this mess, so just follow through. You also miss and long for some of the fancier things in life and they aren’t just going to appear by themselves, so figure out a plan. Do the required work—hell, give it a little more. You actually will get out of it what you put in. So crap in, crap out. Effort in, accomplishment out. People will really notice.
Sagittarius
Don’t let your vanity get in the way of your work. Gatherings will happen this month and misunderstandings will also happen. If you play the judgement or secretive card, it will be you who makes this misunderstanding happen. Try to play it cool. Accept the ever-changing circumstances as blessings. Try to remember: everything, even the smallest thing, has its purpose. If you are finding yourself constantly frustrated by those who work around you, the feeling is probably mutual and the best thing to do is try to work alone.
Capricorn
You may be looking for solutions to a current problem. It’s important to look at this problem with its long term consequences and not just what could happen in the immediate future. You are trying to focus on your career, but distractions from the homefront or your foundation will be the only thing to focus on until the 23rd, when the Libra sun leaves your house of careers. One thing at a time. Once your foundation is back in place, then you can think about building a stronger foundation in your work life.
Aquarius
If something isn’t working for you this month. Don’t waste time spinning your wheels. Move on. If you don’t, you will be stuck spinning. Luckily, your natural curiosity will keep you trying new things with vigor until the right path is found. You are usually strong in your opinion and standing. However, after this month and a couple of serendipitous events, you will find yourself questioning your basic beliefs. Don’t be surprised if you have a couple of eye-opening, life-revealing moments this lovely October. If you are able to let go of some old concepts, the new ones that take form will forever alter your thinking.
Pisces
Complications happen in all partnerships. Don’t give up just yet on loving someone who’s willing to make changes and grow with you. Relationships are still the ongoing theme in Pisces world right now. Explosions that happen will have one of two opposing effects. Unions will either be destroyed or obstacles will be blown away. It is a shame that minor events can turn into such huge obstacles. Your professional life gets a much needed boost and your use of efficiency will be of the utmost importance to you.
Aries
Now is the time for you to formulate exactly what you want from others and express it clearly. By doing so you will bring cohesiveness to any unions or projects you are working on. Controlling your emotions will make the difference between war and peace. If things are getting kind of static in your life, now is the time to begin a new interest. Music, stand-up paddle board, yoga? Whatever you have been curious about will plant seeds into you at this time of your life. Pursue it. This is the start of something new and big for you.
Taurus
For some reason, your loner side is really wanting some alone time. However, you must try to fight these feelings and really get out there this month. Anything you do by yourself will only be that much better with a partner and some teamwork. You really are just struggling between intimacy and independence. Be sure to work towards meaningful goals. The path of love is elusive and you may find that even relationships that are comfortable will find awkward moments this month.
Gemini
You are feeling quite comfortable in your current skin, be it a job, relationship or project you have been working on—so comfortable, in fact, that you may start to partake in show-off or risky behavior. If you are in a great relationship, stop making excuses to text that new person. If you love your job, stop calling in sick. If you are working on a great project, do it… stop with the procrastinating and fucking off. It really is the lovely, lazy Libra time taking effect on you. You will pay for the consequences of your silly actions, you fool.
Cancer
Consistent baby steps on the right path will get you further in the direction you want to go, rather than giant leaps and extended times of inactivity. Just stay on the course and keep plugging away. It’s foolish to let go at work and allow others to direct your life; it’s even more foolish to think that you can ignore the demands being placed on you. Ultimately, you must find a balance between the current situation and remaining positive to the possibilities of the future.
Leo
You will spend this month expanding your mind. Your feelings will determine where your mind will go and how far it will travel. Be sure you are emotionally sound before making any critical decisions. You may find that in this expansion and learning you will come to oppositions of theory. These conflicts can raise as many questions as they answer. But part of learning is the feeling of confusion and chaos before the enlightenment comes. Find the Libra balance of managing your time, effort and money with that of socializing before Mercury goes into retrograde on the 21st. Things will change for you under that time.
Virgo
Be patient with yourself. Your priorities may change the closer you get to making a decision. Reconsider what’s negotiable and what’s not. Your finances are a primary concern of yours this month and you will have to address shared resources. Aries’ full moon eclipse on October 18th evokes contradictory feelings about your personal core values, what you own and what you share. You can keep trying to gain clarity about the situation but once Mercury enters retrograde at the end of the month, even your most triumphant efforts will be confusing and misunderstood.
