October Horoscopes

Capricorn Horoscope (December 22 - January 19)
Cardinal Earth. Your ruling planet is Saturn.

Your career and professional life is a powerful force for you right now, Capricorn, and you are no doubt reveling in it. Achievement in the eyes of the world really calls to you, but your true assignment lies with internal changes that you are still very much in the midst of. These will ultimately transform your self-concept and your world along with it, since the one reflects the other. This idea does not affect your actions so much as your attitude toward them. Once you detach and see your viewpoint as your own creation things become much easier. Achievement is effortless when not freighted down with extraneous judgments from consensus thinking, and you can relax and simply trust in the beneficence of the universe to sustain you, no matter what.

As the month begins, you are very much in evidence in the world of achievement, a world that you normally thrive in. There is however a mystical factor of your existence right now that is equally important for you to tune in with, and since less obvious, deserves perhaps to have the greater recognition accorded to it. This side relates to music and to art, to whatever brings out the multi-level and other-dimensional picture. The optimistic stance that is a necessary precursor to true and lasting achievement is also bound up in this other side, which encompasses the larger meaning of life�s events. You are in a favorable place right now to take full advantage of these more subtle and soul-oriented messages from the universe that complement your outer world accomplishments, which are also very strong at this intense moment in time. You have the opportunity to make from both these parts of life an amalgam that is unique to your own person, independent of other voices or of the well-worn opinions represented by consensus realty. The First Quarter Moon in your sign of Monday, October 3rd, is an important slice of time, a testing period that allows you to see the drawbacks as well as the positives regarding your approach. You are combining heart and mind, also personal self and public persona, so that there are bound to be conflicts as well as advantages to this more integrated path. Adding the complexity of an extra layer in terms of a truly spiritual way to seeing things makes for even greater potential confusion. This is a conundrum, but it is a tangle of influences and pressures that is well-worth sorting out; however you can manage that task, you will be the better for it, and the more whole. You might in fact steer your way into a better sense of the integration of these opposites with the Full Moon of Tuesday, October 11th, taking place in your sector of home and family, and of core psychological issues. This is a time when you strike a blow for honoring all of your various parts, and for balance, at least as you are able to allow yourself to achieve it,. The Last Quarter Moon that takes place during the following week, late on Wednesday, October 19th, initiates a time for reflection and review, when you are engaged in mulling over the events of the previous three weeks of the cycle with an eye to understanding them. At this juncture, too, the spiritual component of your basic value system which has been stimulated over the course of this period will also be more fully present to your inner gaze. This might come through interaction with significant partners in your life, as a source of fresh perspectives that can bolster or contrast with and therefore clarify your own. With the New Moon of the last full week of the month, taking place on Wednesday, October 26th, you are once more ready to launch yourself forward although hopefully in a way that provides greater integration and that takes full advantage of all sides of your multiple nature.
