October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Cardinal Fire. Your ruling planet is Mars.

Opportunity knocks, Aries. Situations have accumulated and now it's an entirely different ball game. You are reviewing your commitment to service and your understanding of the beyond, and how completely that understanding influences your daily life after all. You have been gathering up your changes for the past year or more, so that the time has come for action. It begins deep inside your soul and seeks its outlet in the world of outer manifestation. Is it an illusion that you can emerge from this period of transformation into a simpler and more viable world? Only time will tell.

As the month begins, you are filled with energy, ambition and hope for the future. Some of this could be an illusion but as the song says "you might as well try." As your vision develops, other people figure prominently in its unfolding – both because partners provide perspective and because the ideals that are driving you now involve service to the greater collective that surrounds you. It is possible that your relationship with significant persons in your life will be instrumental in measuring your own progress over the next few weeks and months, as in some ways you make a departure from all that you have known. It is important however that as you move forward into new conditions you do not entirely abandon previous foundations. You are what you are, even as your essence morphs into new forms in response to a changing world. Nothing alive is static. With the Full Moon of Saturday evening, October 3rd, you are seeking a balance point that includes other voices as well as your own into the mix of energy swirling around you. You are seeing the future unfolding before your eyes right now in a new way, and with a new degree of softness to it. This is a time when the spiritual significance of what you are currently engaged in will come more fully to the fore, and when the agency of the information of others will be instrumental in finding your own way through to an idealized sense of future possibility. The Last Quarter Moon taking place on the following weekend, on Sunday, October 25th, might represent a kink in your progress but provides much food for thought. This is traditionally a time of mixed blessing, when what has not been able to be manifested in the period stemming from the previous New Moon will be revealed, and when you also come to important lessons concerning where you are actually headed. While still important, partnership with others around you becomes less of a focus as you optimistically chart your own future agenda. The New Moon of Saturday evening, October 17th, represents another important turning point for you. There is lots of fresh energy for important partnerships in your life, and for your own personal creativity as well. You are looking ahead at this time to a future you can really live with that includes Spirit as an important part of the equation. There is a sense in which you realize that relationship helps you to rediscover neglected parts of yourself. As you continue your journey into the last two weeks of the month you will find that important transformation continues to await you, along with increased peace of mind as you break through the veils of illusion that keep you from encountering your true Self.
