October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a powerful time for you, Aries, when you will be making a major move toward integration. The wheel is still very much in spin; transformational energies that have been coming down this past year or more are just getting started, and your life from now on will never be entirely the same. These changes may take years yet to complete, but you actually find yourself at the beginning of a kind of plateau now, a place to stand while you reflect on recent developments. Partly as a result of the turmoil, your creative self-expression runs high, and moves in unlikely new directions. This month is also a time when you are extremely focused on significant partners in your life as an adjunct to discovering your own wholeness.

As the month begins, you are finding that the important relationships in your life still have the power to surprise you. This is a powerful time for all kinds of partnership connections when unexpected events could present a shock to your system, and provide surprising epiphanies as well. In the rapidly unfolding events of this monthly timeframe, novel and unforeseen aspects of your connection with others become the genesis of a new way of looking at issues of yours that have long lay dormant. This goes for long-term partnerships, deep friendships and business connections, as well as the constantly evolving and frequently under-acknowledged relationships within your own psyche. You occupy a crucial and extremely interesting moment in time, wherein your artistic self-expression is peaking and your relationship dynamic with others also. At the very same time, you are also seeing your way through to a new way of being in the world of events and concrete accomplishment. As you grow and shine in your workplace or with regard to career development you are also taking full advantage of the impact that others can make for your own self-development in realms of a private as well as a more public nature. The First Quarter Moon of Monday, October 3rd, hits you a bit harder than you might like, presenting bumps or actual snags in the path of your progress and granting you the ability to rise above. This is a time when the rubber really meets the road with planned initiatives and changes that you are in process of making, as you find out first-hand what unexpected realities might lie in hiding to at least temporarily side-track you. There could be conflicts at this time between your own agenda and that of others around you, which cannot be resolved until you adopt a third way that truly synthesizes both viewpoints. You fortunately have loads of native wit and prescient intuition available to you now, so that novel solutions to ordinary situations are more than possible. With the Full Moon of Tuesday, October 11th, some form of balanced position is reached, or at least a cease-fire. You are increasingly confident of your own individual stand that you are almost being forced into taking, and beginning to accept this stand as an inevitable one given the circumstances, and yet you are also available for compromise, accepting the limitations inherent in the concept of partnership with others. With the Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, October 19th, you are entering into a meditative mode of operation where you are reviewing prior events and your responses to them with an eye to a more big-picture understanding that will reveal the true meaning for your life as a whole. You are more fully present at this time to both the forward thrust of your evolutionary imperative and the necessity of bowing to the limitations of your situation also. The New Moon in the last full week of the month, taking place on Wednesday, October 26th, provides you with fresh energy for the battle.
