October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 - July 22)
Cardinal Water. Your ruling planet is The Moon.

You are returning to home base right now, Cancer, either physically or mentally. This is an important period of time for sorting out what really matters to you in this area. Partnership connections are on the upswing, and prove themselves to the extent that they chime with your most deeply felt inner truth. The Last Quarter Moon of the 21st may be revelatory, providing information that paves the way for breakthrough next month. You are in a state of mystical transformation, wherein you may find that all that you seek is actually available to you from the standpoint of an inner perspective.

As the month begins, you are strong for the safety and security of your protected home environment. You are keeping the hearth fires burning right now, for your family and also for yourself. Partnerships of all kinds are beneficial for you right now, and help you to light your own way forward. There is an elusive almost elfin quality to this monthly cycle for you, as you are changing in subtle ways that may not become fully clear until the month has almost completely passed. Your ideals are strong at this time, and lead you forward powerfully into a new universe of your own making. This period of time is fuzzy and not easily discerned, so that caution may also serve to hold you back at this time. It's an interesting balance that you must strike. With the advent of the First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, October 7th, there are likely to be cracks emerging in the facade of what you see as your path before you. A conflict may arise between going forward full steam ahead and more practical considerations which must also be honored to give the energy of this period its due. This moment is also one peak of the retrograde period, when missed connections of both a mechanical and a communication nature may keep your plans from going entirely smoothly. With the Full Moon of Tuesday, October 14th and the days surrounding it, you are making a stand for yourself, no matter what, stepping out with verve and style into a different world. At the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, October 21st, transformational energies are strong in the area of both relationship and service orientation. You may find at this time that certain aspects of a situation you have been dealing with in one way may come to light to illuminate a different path forward. Or the evolutionary pressure of your circumstances may reach a tipping point. It helps to remember that in every organism change is necessary as a sign that you are alive, and that meaningful change seldom comes to you except by force of dire necessity. You can at least choose the moment, and relative gracefulness of your landing. With the Scorpio Full Moon a week later, taking place on Tuesday, October 28th, you are ready to make a fresh start.
