October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

You are pulling yourself through, Cancer. The lessons of the past few weeks and months have taken their toll and left their mark, leading to important life lessons which when mastered presage clearer sailing. Relationship is formative and transformative for you right now, and leads you to a new vision of what you could concretely manifest in terms of higher mind connection with others. Nothing is quite the same as it was, and yet everything remains, only altered in the light of a new day. In the second half of the month, new initiatives on the home front lead you into wild-eyed exuberance and the ability to embrace changes that all of a sudden seem inevitable.

As the month begins, you are feeling the expansive insight generated by multiple points of view coming into your awareness, which might seem like an antidote to a feeling of stuckness that has been pervading your communicative process lately. You are moving through something major in this current monthly time period, and the joy of mental or even physical travel might accompany this sense of release. With the Full Moon of Saturday evening, October 3rd, you are projecting yourself out into the world around you in a new way. You are very sensitive at this time and feel an almost psychic connection to people, and are also likely to also experience a spiritual softness of compassion in the way that you relate to others. There might be difficulty in making decisions, especially those that affect arrangements and potential boundaries with those with whom you are in relationship. If so, you can get amazing mileage out of letting go of any particular agenda and simply letting the universe provide the answers. The Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, October 11th, will no doubt provide further food for thought in this regard. This is a time when the creative tension between competing points of view has an excellent chance of working itself out in solutions, and when your process of evolution has an optimistic texture. It has been tough sledding in some ways over these recent weeks, and the difficult passage into a different set of future options is far from over, but in the midst of it all comes a feeling of grace. The New Moon of the following weekend takes place on Saturday evening, October 17th, in your home and family sector, which corresponds to root psychological issues also. This is the perfect time for a fresh start on forging a more secure and better-integrated sense of self. There could be implications for redoing your household in some way, either physically or energetically. Your sense of tribe and familial connection with friends and close associates could also get a boost. Your feelings of psychic sensitivity to others around you are emphasized at this time, and although potentially confusing as far as intimate relationships are concerned, there are likely to be benefits also in the way that the arc of your development unfolds. With the First Quarter Moon of Sunday, October 25th, there is again likely be to some degree of tension in your process of increasing awareness, although the momentum that you have gained will carry you through. Compassion and lack of concrete definition are still very much in the mix for you right now. As you work things out with significant partners in your life your way becomes softer although less well-defined. Spirit has a way of smoothing out the hard edges of your mentally constructed choices.
