Horoscope for the week beginning Oct. 20
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The Libra New Moon occurred on October 19 at 26 Libra 35. If you have planets at this degree you will feel the impact more strongly. It will activate new beginnings synchronizing either by your own initiatives or, depending on the details of your Natal Chart, will manifest as apparently coincidental external events.
Synchronicity works this way. There is ever a deeper meaning and purpose in every event, but they are not always recognized as such since they do not produce sharp spikes on the graph. Yet, everything is a feature of a seamless flow that is can be described as the ‘great continuum’. How we choose to interpret them is our individual choice and privilege.
The Sun in Libra will yield to Scorpio this week (October 22 MDT & westward and the 23rd everywhere else) joining forces with Jupiter and Mercury. Given the steady pace of tragic and devastating natural disasters occurring everywhere, desecrating and scorching the land and leaving death and carnage in their wake, one might think that we are in the Age of Scorpio, not Aquarius. Well, in its foundational structure, Scorpio holds a prominent position in the Age of Aquarius and whether these events are interpreted as natural, deliberate or otherwise, they will likely continue.
Oct. 20-26
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Your relationship life is undergoing an important activation. It is touching upon both your personal and your professional life. Questions of love are weaving with financial considerations and the health and quality of your overall lifestyle. Deciphering what makes you special or what are your greatest talents are featured.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Your relationship life is opening up wider than it has for some time. This could prove very good for business. Cultural interests will also take on additional appeal. Your love life is experiencing fresh sparks yet it may be difficult to feel confident regarding the long term. Establishing your home base remains central.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
A playful and romantic cycle is underway. The romance could well be directed to creative pursuits and mini-adventures too. Closer to home, a repair and renovation cycle is underway. This could prove literally true or include more abstract and psychological themes. Finding your voice and sharing your message is an important background theme.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Creating more harmony and flow close to home is in the spotlight. Attending to many fronts and angles is indicated. Bringing fresh design and innovation to the fore is a new and important theme. It could include new tools and technologies. Increasing your health levels is part of the plot and the time is right to activate a new momentum.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Things are starting to come together, perhaps after a prolonged period of delay and frustration. Your creative juices have been flowing strongly over the past six months and this trend will continue. The time has come to activate a momentum that can see you through the next six months and allow you to make up for lost time.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
Activating a reliable momentum continues. Financial considerations are central to your motivation. Your focus will be to diversify, which is ideal, and you are ready to advance. There is the danger that you could scatter your focus so you will have to be extra organized and clear with your goals.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
The New Moon in your sign signifies action. A build-up of energy to make some important moves will now turn to action. Part of your process has – and continues to be – linked to clearing blocks of fear and doubt regarding your ambitions. But this cycle ends this week and you will take a more assertive approach.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are in an expansive mood. This includes breaking making key moves to break through any and all blocks and barriers. This inner work process, which may also manifest as continued patience will likely continue for a while. Yet, something big is brewing and will take time anyway to fully manifest. Stay with it and focus on working to clear the corners and work the angles.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The soul-searching process mentioned last week is underway, yet this is just the beginning. If this process was illustrated as entering an enchanting and mysterious cave, it would now be within your sights, yet still at a distance, albeit a short one. Yet, you will come one major step closer this week. Positively, you are encountering companions destined to play key roles.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Much is happening in your world. Many changes and new beginnings are already underway. Some of these may be bringing you attention, prominence, and promotion. Endings of certain relationships and/or relationship patterns are indicated. These are destined now, so focus on cooperation. Resistance will likely cause unnecessary pain and may be futile anyway.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Sometimes expansion comes with contraction. This can be understood as the discipline required for achieving great feats. This theme will continue well into 2018. Yet, it is important that you get things moving now. Planning and organizing are usually the first things to do and is probably your best bet now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
The past couple of weeks have likely been transformational for you somehow. It may be that your perceptions, interpretations and/or attitudes have changed or perhaps it is your plans, but possibly the changes have occurred externally as well. One way or another, certain things have significantly changed and this process will continue. Trust this flow and cooperate.
