October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aquarius Horoscope (January 20 - February 18)
Fixed Air. Your ruling planets are Uranus and Saturn.

This is a quite exciting and also a potentially trying time for you, Aquarius. Relationship with significant partners in your life is magical for you right now, and holds the key to your own enlightenment. You are turning around in the way that you see things, implying big shifts in your public statement also. Significant movement is possible now, although at the very end of October, and on into November, Mercury retrogrades in your career sector, and you will be wise to hold off on making any drastic changes. This late month period of time is particularly challenging, yet also rewarding long term. Core level shifts in the way you see your future self are emerging, but slowly.

As the month begins, you are at the point of making philosophical adjustments to the way you see your world, based on recent eye-opening events of the past few weeks, perhaps involving partnership concerns. You are transforming at this time in both your relationship dynamic and your own self-concept. Since there are several planetary factors conspiring together in your higher mind sector, you may be thinking seriously about travel or other educational adventures, or at any rate experiencing perspective shifts of one kind or another, throughout this current cycle. With the Full Moon of the first Friday of the month, coming along on October 6th, you are seeking a balance between activity and contemplation. You are coming from a very idealistic place these days, which may at times involve a level of self-deception but which is fundamentally about allowing a spiritual dimension of life to be counted as equally valid with the practical necessities. After all, what is the one without the other? The Last Quarter Moon of the following Friday, the 13th, represents a difficult transition, a time when you must give up some part of your prior assumption for the sake of greater clarity of purpose. Work and professional life is going well for you at this time, but with some tension in the air between what you desire to accomplish and what makes concrete sense, including the needs of others. With the advent of the New Moon on the edge of your career sector, taking place on Saturday the 21st, you are launching yourself into the world in a new way, bringing thoughtful verbal expression to your public statement, with extra punch and charisma. Over the next few weeks, you are likely to be thinking through your real-world plans in the light of recent awareness, and then re-thinking them all over again as Mercury retrogrades through November, prominent in your energy field. There will be failed communication attempts and missteps to contend with, but perhaps an ultimate putting in place of what was not previously working in your plans and ideas thus far. There are great rewards in consciousness to be gained, as long as you manage to maintain your characteristic alertness to all your possibilities.
