October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a powerful month for you, Cancer, and for the evolutionary arc of your development. You are feeling excited and inspired to be moving forward with career plans that continue to shift and modify on a daily basis, while at the core of your being you remain true to yourself and to your tendency to hide away from the world at large. The question is how to pursue these very different agendas, and do justice to each one, without making yourself crazy in the process. The answer might lie in attempting to discern how they interact and feed off each other. When deeply felt, your outer world participation will fulfill your inner goals, and in terms of career, only the path with heart will satisfy you now, for public or for private considerations.

As the month begins, you are really feeling into home and tribe or family concerns. Something new is in the air, and this could involve relationships with family members. These might be up for revisioning or for realignment. This concept could apply to your physical dwelling place, which could also be in the midst of some form of renewal. This is also however a paradoxical time for you, because things are jumping your outer life as well, with loads of enthusiasm for career choices that keep coming up, so that your future direction is multi-faceted and ultimately not a little confusing. There is a spiritual component right now that is an important part of you in all that you do or engage to do, so that you win by making a conscious choice to include this factor in your planning. The First Quarter Moon of Monday, October 3rd, could present you with a few more glitches in your pathway forward along these lines. This is a time that is prone to interpersonal disputes that could arise, and which could actually have the effect of helping to clarify your true objectives in these areas. Although partners have the capacity to change you over this monthly cycle there is the equal chance that your reactions with have the effect of changing them as well, in what is an essentially optimistic and productive period. With the Full Moon of Tuesday, October 11th, you are entering into a time of resolution and a period of relative balance. Issues of self and other do not entirely disappear but might become sidelined by the more fundamental considerations of survival, with as much grace as can be mustered, in both public and private settings. There is a grounded quality to your search for wholeness now that serves you well as you negotiate the necessary compromise between these two powerful and currently almost equally featured parts of your life. The Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, October 19th, brings up the drawbacks as well as the advantages of what you are attempting. This is a time for reflection and contemplation, when the energy of the New Moon is fading and you review what has gone before this point in the cycle for the lessons learned. It�s a terrific time to journal as you seek grater clarity over what has been gained as well as lost over this period. The New Moon of the following week will supply greater energy for your process, and for the integration of the disparate parts of your life. You are creating an ongoing work of art out of the search for wholeness that you will then find yourself still profoundly engaged in.
