Horoscope for the week beginning October 9
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
October from the standpoint of Numerology presents something of a sneak preview of what can be more broadly expected in the new calendar year starting on January 1.
Astrologically, the Libra New Moon occurs on October 12. Mercury ‘stations’ (appears to stop) on October 9 and begins its regular forward motion again, though the ‘shadow period’ (the three-week time period that matches the duration of its apparent backward motion) begins at that moment as well. Venus entered Virgo on October 8, joining forces with Mars and Jupiter and last, but certainly not least (most, in fact), the Sun enters Scorpio on October 23.

Oct. 9 – 15
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A new round of communications with significant others is set to begin. It may be that you are the one being contacted. Renegotiating terms and coming to new levels of understanding and agreement is desired. It is important that you faithfully and respectfully engage. Ethics aside, the consequences of not complying could prove costly in one way or another.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Creative aspirations are on the rise. These may be due to circumstances at least as much as from pure inspiration. A cycle has been underway for almost 18 months now destined to get you more firmly on your feet somehow. Now it is taking the turn towards you laying claim to what makes you special, what sets you apart. This is a call to clarify and refine your skills and talents.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Balancing a playful, adventurous and perhaps playful mood with more serious work and projects is underway. Renovations or other heavy-duty activity close to home is featured as well. This could emphasize inner work as much as outer. Your aim is to increase your confidence levels whatever it takes. It may be increasingly clear that to succeed something big has to give.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Creative more beauty, harmony and flow at home and with your family continues. Sometimes, the word ‘home’ translates to our own inner core, literally. So, your focus could be upon your own health, fitness and overall wellbeing. You are beginning to get pretty serious about what might be required to feel good and confident too. Deciphering between dreams, illusions, denials and realistic goals is implied.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
The pace is steadily accelerating and so too are your ambitions. This will become even more evident as the New Moon in Libra on the 12th gains momentum. The time is right to ‘make hay….’ Making continued and steady efforts with follow through could actually find you ahead of the game. Avoid procrastination and passivity now and persevere smoothly.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The urge and perhaps the need to increase and improve somehow is a steadily emerging theme. It is currently in phase two of 12. This current phase requires that you focus on your dreams, on one hand, and your image or perhaps you brand, on the other. Presentation can certainly help or hinder. You may have to step back and take a fresh look and perhaps press the reset button.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
It is likely that Mercury was retrograde this year on your birthday unless it occurs after October 9. It will have the effect of altering some of your perceptions linked to changing circumstances in your life. With the big eclipse a couple of weeks ago changes is some of your closest relationships will change. Generally and currently, you are being pushed inward to access guidance faith and courage.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A pioneering and revolutionary mood and momentum continues. This cycle includes plenty of homework and efforts made behind the scenes. Expect the accelerated pace to continue for about another month. That will be the time to launch, whatever that might imply to you specifically. As much as you might like to socialize, this is not the best time unless you work now features the love chase game.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You are in the mood to reveal some of your unique colors and stripes. Yet, you want to do so in a way that achieves the biggest result for the widest audience you can reach. Obtaining tools, skills and instruction or sharing the same with others is highlighted. Your confidence levels may need a boost and you are not interested in taking blind leaps of faith, this time.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Getting the attention you want, need and feel you deserve continues. You may have to really prove your worth. Sometimes the flow pushes us to step it up, like now. The pressure you be subsiding. Yet in some respects this is exactly the type of situation that allows you to rise to the occasion and even achieve higher levels of energy and expression than ever.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Cultural stimulation, travel and adventure are on your mind. This focus may also cross over to focus upon world news with added interest and perhaps concern. As much as you feel the urge to help, you may feel that you yourself need assistance just now as well. Yet, you remain determined to be informed and learn more about the bigger game.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Some deep end themes in the arena of relationships continue. Ending, completion, death and rebirth represent the core theme. Your passions are running high, yet there are politics to contend with. Either you are in pursuit or you are being pursued and in both respects you are inclined to keep your thoughts and feelings private.
