October 2016 Horoscopes

Hello everyone :)  here are my horoscopes for this beautiful month of October for you. Please note that timezone might make a difference to when some of the planet alignments take place. For example the UK has the new moon on the 1st Oct, which took place on 30th Sep for a lot of people (and was called the dark moon). Here in the UK and for a lot of Europe, our dark moon happens on 30th October... just in time for Halloween! Happy Autumn to you. 

Aries

21st March – 20th April

Jupiter, planet of good luck and expansion unites with the new moon on the 1^st, bringing new beginnings and expansion in relationships, especially romance, business and/or legal. Jupiter’s promise is that harmony and justice will prevail despite any challenge, and yes there are some challenges, especially around 7^th, and midmonth when the full moon is in your sign (16^th). It’s then that you’re restless for revolution and a head start on making changes (keep a balance in what you take on so you avoid the strain of overreaching). Finally, a rare second new moon on the 30^th is about important new beginnings that require feeling ok with uncertainty or the unknown.

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

A new moon of abundance on the 1^st indicates opportunity and positivity linked to health and fitness, as well as more efficiency and solutions for daily schedule and work environment. This month brings challenge (especially 7^th, 16^th, 19^th, 25^th, 29^th) but just watch how things still get moving in positive ways despite things being unsettled or coming to a head (especially around 16^th). From the 23^rd the sun and Mercury move into your relationship zone, which energises partnership and communication. A new moon here on the 30^th suggests important new beginnings now or near future

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

An amazing, abundant new moon on the 1^st is about enjoying new beginnings and in the realm of creativity, fun and entertainment. Creative projects can take off, while romance and matters of the heart find balance and harmony. But keep your eye on the ball as there’s plenty of challenges that might distract you into lowering your mood, especially around 7^th and midmonth. It’s all about perspective though; these challenges bring out the best in you so why bother wishing they weren’t there. A rare second new moon on the 30^th is about new, positive plans for the future, a more streamlined work/daily environment, and renewal and regeneration for health and fitness.

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

This month there are two new moons (indicating new beginnings), and a midmonth full moon (16^th) about a sudden change in priorities born from the urge to stay true to yourself, which means who you are now, not who you once were. (Smashing out of comfort zones can be uncomfortable until you acclimatise though). New moon on the 1^st focuses on home and family, and the sense of abundance and buoyancy in this area of your life that you want more of. New moon on 30^th focuses on more creativity, romance, fun and enjoyment. It’s about letting go and trusting the process, and the sense of renewal and replenishment that arises from it all.

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

For much of the month the emphasis is on more communication, information, and education, starting with a new moon on the 1^st all about new beginnings involving balance, harmony, justice and fairness. Doors of opportunity are opening, now and in future, linked to all this. Travel is also highlighted, especially midmonth, when your restlessness and itchy feet get you thinking about expanding horizons, and pastures new. There are downs as well as ups this month (as ever), but there’s an underlying positivity that won’t be broken After the 23^rd, and especially around the rare second new moon on 30^th, home and family matters are your focus. New beginnings are in store here too.

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

There’s a very positive new moon on the 1^st in your house of finance and resources. New moons are about new beginnings, and this one has a theme of expansion, opportunity, and faith in the future. There are some challenging planet patterns this month (especially midmonth), so the message is to only move forward when feeling faith in your future, as taking action from anxiety or pessimism can lead to over-reaching or straining yourself, and your resources. From the 23^rd and especially during the second new moon of the month around the 30^th, it’s all about new depth and intimacy via communication and information. There might be something new about the neighbourhood too.

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

On the 1^st there’s an outstanding new moon in your sign, which is a powerful promise of new beginnings and opportunities. Abundant Jupiter unites with this new moon, suggesting you feel more confident, and happy to relax into the idea that universe wants to give you what you want. It’s not even the easiest of months astrologically; some situations can be hard work (especially 7th, 18^th, 25^th), most need a cool head and the patience of a saint (especially the relationship-themed full moon on 16^th), yet you take it all in your stride. After 23^rd you’re focused on finances; the rare second new moon on the 30^th indicates new beginnings linked to income and resources.

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

Before the sun moves into your sign from the 23^rd, more sleep, meditation, relaxation or just daydreaming serves you well as it rebalances and harmonises your relationship with yourself. Once you’re in tune with yourself, disharmony with others is easier to cope with and sort out (or let be). Midmonth, and especially around a super-charged electric full moon on the 16^th, emotions can run high (or deep) and situations can change with lightning speed, so the more at one with yourself you can be, the more positive things can turn out. Then a beautiful new moon in your sign on the 30^th indicates inspired new beginnings are in store.

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

New beginnings and new relationships with groups, gatherings and friends is the message of a particularly uplifting new moon on the 1^st. It says social circles and networks are expanding, so expect plenty of entertaining and good-feeling times; more so after Venus moves into your sign from the 18^th. It’s not all plain sailing this month though, so work extra hard to keep your inner balance around 7^th, 16^th, 18^th and 25th, as situations can get fraught and tense through no fault of your own. Respond rather than react, and don’t get your guard up or you miss the benefits coming from a very spiritual new moon on the 30^th, which speaks strongly of healing, regeneration and renewal.

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

An upbeat and confident new moon on the 1^st is about new plans and ambition, especially linking to career and status or reputation, but including anything that is looks a long-term commitment. You can be totally disciplined when you want, but that needs balance too, as all work and no play isn’t going to fulfil you long-term. Midmonth (especially full moon time on 16^th) might bring career/home imbalance to a head in order to sort it. Around 7^th and 19^th might be intensely transforming too; it’s a time to trust the process and the bigger picture. From the 23^rd and especially around new moon on 30^th, there are new beginnings linked to groups, gatherings, friends, hopes and dreams.

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

New beginnings linked to travel and education are highlighted by a magnificent new moon on the 1^st, focusing you like never before on the joy of the journey to new harmony and faith in yourself. Disharmony is also a feature of October planet patterns though, so your ability to stay feeling good in yourself despite outer circumstances will not only help you, it also helps dissipates tension around you. Midmonth is the most intense in for this, especially during an unusually revolutionary full moon that brings sudden or unexpected movement in situations. The urge to update, renew, and regenerate long-term plans gains momentum from 23^rd, with new opportunities and beginnings emerging from the new moon on 30^th.

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

There’s a very positive and uplifting new moon (indicating new beginnings) on the 1^st, which impacts any situation requiring trust and faith in the unknown. It’s like you’re developing a new relationship with uncertainty, so being in the dark about things doesn’t intimidate or control you emotionally like it used to. It might take time for you to fully notice this happening; perhaps it’s by making your way through October’s challenges (most likely around 7^th, 16^th, 18^th and 25^th), and noticing you don’t react in the same way you once did. From the 23^rd (and especially 30^th), your faith in the bigger picture continues to grow, which feeds both your imagination and your desire to expand old horizons.
