Horoscope for the week beginning Oct. 23
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
In this Universal 8 Year October adds to be a 9 Month. This indicates endings, completions and graduations for us all. A feeling of limbo hangs in the air yet a renewed feeling of initiative will become more evident on November.
Scorpio time begins on October 23 at 10:47 a.m. PDT. This is the 12th segment of the year when the days become very noticeably shorter here in the Northern Hemisphere, the air temperature becomes significantly colder and leaves fall from trees faster than they have up until this point in the year.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto and both planets in Earth Element signs, Virgo and Capricorn respectively, suggests that an extra emphasis on practicality and productivity. Venus and Jupiter are also in Virgo adding to this theme. The Moon waxes to full on October 27.

Oct. 23 – 29
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
You remain extra busy and on a variety of levels both within and without. You are challenged to give more than usual and in the face of lingering worries and doubts. Fortunately, your resolve and capacity to make the extra efforts is active. This overall tone will continue for another few weeks anyway so be patient and find reason to be happy and grateful along the way.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A process of deep change continues to unfold in your life. It may feel like you have entered some kind of metamorphosis chamber. The good news is this parallels the caterpillar entering the cocoon to emerge transformed as a butterfly. The sobering part is that it will take about 30 months! There are ever other cycles at play and it might help to learn more about them.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Scorpio time is one of healing for you. Your focus will ideally include preparing for winter which includes building your immune system. There is reason to say you have come through a lot over the past few years and therefore focusing to restore your center and fortify your constitution is extra wise now. Whether physically, mentally or emotionally, build your strengths.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
A busy time continues. You may feel stretched and tired as a consequence. Yet, you also feel determined to get things done. This has been true close to home but now the focus turns to more playful and social activities. Yet, at deeper levels the impulse to gain new knowledge and perhaps increase your skills is steadily rising. This will increase over the coming weeks.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Your sights are set on making key improvements to increase returns. You have come to an important juncture that requires that you strengthen your overall foundation. While this includes your overall level of health, it also points to financial considerations. You may also want to direct this focus on improvement to your home. There is no rush to finish but get going now.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have entered an expansive cycle in your life. Inspirations and perhaps challenging circumstances, as well, are requiring new strategies and approaches. The theme will increase over the coming weeks. This is a call to break through old patterns. You may well need the assistance of others and the good news is that you will get it if you make the effort to engage their talents and resources.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Over the past few weeks it is likely that key events occurred that are serving to change your overall perspective. Much is stirring within as well. In some respects this includes inner work to overcome subconscious fears and doubts. A rather steep learning curve is also implied. The good news is that you are ready to increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
You are in a revolutionary mood. Entertaining new strategies and philosophies too is implied. Yet in order to advance you must be willing to invest. This could imply time and energy at least as much as actual money, but probably all of the above. As long as the venture appears solid and worthwhile you will proceed happily. But do a double take on the fine print just to be sure.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You are in the process of presenting a new you to the world. You are still early in this momentum so it may feel a bit awkward at first. However, you are determined to do whatever it takes. This is an adventurous and expansive time generally. With your sights set on the long-term this focus requires sober and calculated risk.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
You are in a philosophical and expansive mood. Thoughts, reflections and questions about the deeper meaning of life and or larger realities in the world are running through your mind. Closer to home, you are determined to persevere and push through any obstacles. Family comes first in your mind and you are and have been extra focused to make every effort to succeed.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A busy time clearing away the old to make way for the new continues. Cleaning corners and closets is likely. This may also include old attitudes, perceptions and lifestyle patterns as much as actual stuff. But now you are ready to socialize more. Cultural events and communal gatherings are gaining your attention again. Strike a balance for best results.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Shifts and changes on relationship fronts are underway. This generally implies expansion but you have to be willing to make the extra effort. These efforts include taking full responsibility for the quality or lack thereof in your relationships. It is important that you make every effort to make improvements in your social outreach.
