October

Change is in the air this month. This grows increasingly obvious and culminates with a strong ending to the month. In the meantime, there is plenty to experience, process and think about. Pluto, the powerful force behind Scorpio grows more an more insistent with every passing day. It is best to anticipate its effect by being mindful of what does need changing and employ the available energies toward that end.

October begins with a sense of adventure. Fall is underway for real. The 2nd and 3rd provide some excitement, expanded energy to put to use for a good purpose. The 6th brings a strong sense of focus, while the 7th is much more relaxed, even spiritual. Venus' journey through Scorpio begins on the 9th and gives the month some opportunities deepen our understanding of our choices or change them. The Full Moon in Aries on the 11th boosts our understanding of how we are doing with the goals and plans we made back at the Vernal Equinox. From now until the spring we need to focus on what is viable from those plans and goals and eliminate what is not.

The 11th and 12th also bring a sense of the mystical or of confusion, depending on where your mind is focused. Toward the end of the 12th be aware of opportunities for transformative change—are you happy with your wardrobe? Your various collections? Do you wish to prune anything away? Now's the time.! On the 13th Mercury moves into Scorpio where it sharpens our senses and encourages us to dig deeper for meaning. This is a good day to reinforce or institute structure and/or take on responsibility. The 14th may bring indecision as to which choice might lead to the best outcome. On the 16th there are positive energies to help with discussions concerning renovation or restoration. The 17th could lead us to question these decisions or implement them for our greater good. On the 21st there are opportunities for spiritual or musical enjoyment.

Sun into Scorpio on the 23rd brings home the rest of the Scorpio energy urging us toward a focus on inner and outer healing. As the last 3 days before the New Moon are best for this kind of work, as we apply ourselves we gain a jump start on the New Moon of the 26th, when the real work begins. Be careful to avoid lovers' quarrels and stick to making careful preparations for the strong energies coming on the 28th when the possibility of a major change is very likely. Be very mindful on that day, as planetary energies indicate that while everything that happens will be ultimately helpful, things could be a bit rocky. On the 31st fun costumes are a must, however, don't be fooled by appearances.
