October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Pisces Horoscope (February 19 - March 20)
Mutable Water. Your ruling planets are Neptune and Jupiter.

Your personal evolution takes a growth spurt this month, Pisces. If it sometimes feels as though your process places you squarely in the path of an oncoming train it might be the train of your destiny coming to call on you, that serves you even as it shocks you into greater wakefulness. Your sense of basic security is threatened because you can�t go back mentally to what no longer anymore exists, and this leaves you somewhat helpless in the face of too rapid and too drastic change. In the end it is your connections to others that will pull you through. In plurality lies power. You are supported by an emerging social order that is being born in the wake of your own transformation � as much as anyone�s.

As the month begins, you are figuratively pregnant with possibility. This is the time of your spiritual evolution. Although the developmental cycle that you find yourself in the midst of has obviously been building up for some time, one crucial moment in the long series is now at hand. Of course you are, as always, free to choose a forward or a backward direction for yourself. Fear can drive you away from your eventual goal, although perhaps not for long. Nevertheless, as you ride the wave of the powerful New Moon from the end of last month, there are forces within you conspiring to take you further down the road of your destiny, and they need only a little encouragement from your inner determination to make themselves very evident. There are surprises in store are they do so, however, and perhaps some dragons to slay within the depths of your inner world, in terms of old wounds of self-actualization that have held you back too long from being all that you want to be. The First Quarter Moon of Monday, October 3rd, could bring some of these issues to a head. This is traditionally the time in the lunar cycle when you get to see the viability of whatever it is that you are up to, as the initiative from the New Moon time comes up against the reality of unfolding events. You are fighting for a future that you can really live with, and you are ruthless in this, letting nothing stand in your way, once you know its fundamental direction. If you continue to be bothered by the residue of ancient trauma that still remains to haunt your current existence then right now is an excellent time to make progress against the tiresome tide of these old issues. You might realize at this critical juncture that whatever arose in childhood that you could not handle back then is no longer relevant to present-tense realities and is no longer able to shut down a portion of your responsiveness. The Full Moon of Tuesday, October 11th, marks a culmination of whatever has come up over the first half of the lunar cycle, and might represent a safer place for you to stand as you begin to take stock on your psychic surroundings. Even though perhaps not as exciting or as stimulating to the arc of your present development, there is stability for you in this configuration, as well as a certain degree of inherent limitation. With the Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, October 19th, you are in a reflective mode of operation, mulling over the preceding weeks and attempting to make sense of them as you prepare for your next developmental stage. This is a relatively peaceful time, when many new realizations are possible, and when growth is still happening but at a slower pace than earlier in the monthly cycle. Your artistic self-expression during the first few days of this week is one measure of your progress. Then the Scorpio New Moon of Wednesday, October 26th, leads you into fresh perspectives on your situation. It�s an interesting road that you are on these days, and a productive one as well, especially when you can summon up the courage to take full advantage of your opportunities.
