October

The month of October is moderately active astrologically. However, unlike September with its Uranus/Pluto excitement, October's aspects are relatively well distributed amongst the various planets, presenting a variety of opportunities and challenges. Venus aspects are important, signaling the necessity to choose wisely and to be mindful of any commitment made as a result ot those choices. Venus travels through Virgo from the 3rd to the 28th, indicating that our choices will likely be of a practical nature.

Mars begins the month in Scorpio for the first week, intensifying any interest in working to get to the bottom of whatever issues are at hand as well as exposing mysteries that have heretofore been hidden. When it enters Sagittarius on the 6th, energy abounds as well as a sense of freedom of action. This could be reflected politically in more activity among those opposing restrictions and restraints as well as an effort to educate by example.

The New and Full Moons in Libra and Taurus on the 15th and the 29th each have other aspects prominent. The New Moon Mars/Uranus trine can enhance opportunities to try new ways of doing and accomplishing, while the full Moon Mercury/Neptune square cautions us to watch what we say and examine carefully what we think. As these aspects characterize the emphasis for the two weeks following the New and Full Moons, they will be more important than usual.

Saturn changes signs this month, moving into Scorpio on the 5th. Because Saturn represents responsibility and structure, it can help Scorpios recognize where in their lives they need to assume more of these and act accordingly. On an impersonal level it may indicate a strengthening of this sign's potential for rebirth and renewal. During the next two and a half years while it remains there, people may take more responsibility for self healing and for sexual behavior. Issues around sexual abuse might be in the news. In addition, there could be more regulation of insurance companies as well as of the stock market.

A few individual days for planning ahead: The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th present a gathering energy that may culminate in greater focus on issues around healing and regeneration. The 7th may present trickery or deception, the 8th and 9th can be lucky days, be mindful on the 10th of what responsibilities you need to stick with. The 14th, 15th and 16th could bring a golden opportunity to make progress, though caution around excess is urged. The 23rd, 24th, and 25th suggest taking a good look at what is working and what is not and making adjustments. The 28th and 29th present a restless energy that needs a bit of reining in. Go slow and avoid snap judgments.
