October 2013 Horoscopes

Apologies for late post!

Aries

21st March – 20th April

There’s a powerful new moon in your relationship sector on the 5^th that speaks of new beginnings (sometimes sudden) related to partnerships, contracts and agreements, and especially linking to career, status, and long-term commitments. So it’s a productive, though emotionally intense month, as the feeling of ‘all or nothing’ in situations can translate as a pressure for perfection (especially from the 15^th). A lunar eclipse in your sign on the 19^th symbolises new resources available to you in the realm of travel and education, and by the 31^st you finally feel prepared for some profound change and transformation.

 

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

A harmony-seeking new moon on the 5^th suggests there’s plenty of bright ideas and workable solutions around now, though inspiration is likely to hit at unexpected of times and places (during a patch of insomnia, for example). From the 7^th you are feeling adventurous when it comes to the unknown, and around the 16^th/19^th is supportive for taking action on that feeling. From the 21^st there’s huge emphasis on partnerships and agreements, perhaps going over old ground somehow, maybe re-assessing established commitments. Basically it’s about clearing unfinished business, emotional or otherwise, in order to make room for what’s coming next.

 

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

It’s an action packed month at times, starting with a fun focused new moon on the 5^th, which indicates you are deeply in the mood for all things creative, entertaining and which revolve around matters of the heart. Expecting the unexpected is probably a good idea, as things can be as surprising as they are interesting. Breakthroughs to deeper levels of trust and intimacy are also indicated, especially around the 16^th and 31^st. Your ruler retrogrades from the 21^st (appearing to move backwards), which indicates you are moving to tie up loose ends on anything that feels unresolved and what happens around the 30^th is important to this.

 

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

Home and family matters are under the spotlight for much of October, especially the first week, under a new moon on the 5th that speaks of new beginnings in this area of your life. The planets also indicate that certain relationships are transforming, and that you’re seeking a different or alternative path when it comes to aims and aspirations right now (16^th looks interesting for that). Certain events early this month are likely to have great emotional impact on you, moving and motivating you around lunar eclipse time on the 19^th. From the 23^rd have some fun, you’ve earned it.

 

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

First week of October speaks of new harmony through communication and information. There’s bridge building and contacts to be made, and there’s a lot to the process that requires trust from you, and some faith in an alternative approach. Mars moves into your money sector from the 15^th, which suggests your motivation is high when it comes to sorting finances and that your actions are resourceful and profitable. From the 21^st your attention is on home and family matters, and maybe some reconnections or reunions, especially around the 30^th; along with another reminder to keep trusting the process right now.

 

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

A powerful new moon on the 5^th in your income and resources sector indicates new beginnings and new phases of experience underway in this area of your life. And there’s intensity to events; it’s full on yet necessary and productive, especially once action planet Mars enters your sign on the 15th . Your ruler Mercury is retrograde from the 21^st (appearing to move backwards), adding twists and turns in communication and travel but this can be productive too (especially around the 30^th) as there’s information emerging that you’ve been seeking, as well as unfinished business that can now be dealt with.

 

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

A particularly potent new moon in your sign on the 5^th symbolises endings and beginnings underway that are challenging, sudden or speedy, with an unusual or out of the ordinary unfolding of events. You take it all in your stride as your ruler Venus is in adventurous mood from the 7th, and especially around the 16^th when you might realise there’s no such thing as coincidence. A lunar eclipse on the 19^th might show where boundaries are fuzzy or blurred in certain relationships, and there’s the return of some unfinished business regarding income and resources from the 21^st. On the 30^th show yourself who is boss.

 

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

Renewal and rebirth is what the planets consistently speak of for the next couple of months, and the first week of October is a time when this is most noticeable for you, or within you, so trust the process and choose a loving perspective of events if the labour pains get too much. From the 21^st Mercury retrogrades (appears to move backwards) in your sign, which indicates looking back or reconnecting with the past somehow (the 30^th looks interesting and productive for this). The sun in your sign from the 23^rd suggests the world is on your wavelength, which always makes life easier.

 

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

October’s theme is your current (and intense at times) quest for peace love and harmony, especially within friendships, groups and gatherings. It’s about team spirit, equal contributions, balance and justice for all; including your dreams and visions for the future. The new moon on the 5^th speaks of new beginnings linked to this, and Venus moving into your sign from the 7^th swaps blunt speaking for sweet appreciation (especially 16^th). The lunar eclipse on the 19^th brings fun and entertainment your way, and from the 21^st maybe some old familiar faces or fate filled encounters your way too.

 

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

Long-term aspirations and commitments are brought to the forefront around the 5^th, during a dynamic new moon that symbolises new beginnings and next steps. The vibe of certain situations isn’t exactly soft and fluffy this month but it is productive for clearing emotional clutter and mental blocks that would prevent things moving forward like they so need to right now. The lunar eclipse on the 19^th is about reaching an emotional balance regarding all this, while from the 21^st and especially the 30^th, there are important reconnections and communications to be made with old friends and new places.

 

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

Lots of learning by experience this month. This is all about the journey being as much value as the destination, despite (or maybe because of) the ups and downs, blocks and obstacles encountered as you go. It means unfamiliar territory, the challenge of the unknown and the pleasure and treasure in the discovery of the next steps. A rebellious new moon on the 5^th speaks of breakthroughs and breakaways, while the lunar eclipse on the 19^th carries news and information of interest. There’s no going back this month, despite how it seems from the 21^st; you know too much to return to the past.

 

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

Old or dormant plans about long-term aims and aspirations are re-activated by events this month, and it seems right to recycle them, give them a make-over and bring them up to speed to where and who you are now. The new moon on the 5^th ushers in new beginnings around this, while the lunar eclipse on the 19^th brings certain situations (especially linked to finance and resources) to a head in order to rebalance and to sort priorities. Motivated Mars moves into your relationship sector from the 15^th, and fuelled by that eclipse energy, offers passion and drama through a soft focus lens (19^th, 25^th and 31^st)
