October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

Your roller coaster ride continues, Sagittarius. If you feel like your life is in flux right now you are right on target. Your work is a major component of course, just as it has been over these last few weeks and months, and your personal life, especially on the home front, is another. All these things are coming to a head in this current timeframe, as you sort out your priorities in the aftermath of the Mercury retrograde period. After the mid-month New Moon you have the opportunity to go further with your dreams for a better and more integrated world for yourself and your loved ones than you ever have before.

As the month begins, you are still feeling the powerful New Moon from the last two weeks of September, which took place in your career sector. Your hard work is beginning to pay off, but with the opposition to Uranus fully triggered by this New Moon, you are also aware of polarities in your situation that might be troubling to work out. Something could be changing unexpectedly in your home setting, and you might have to be quick-witted to make the most of it. It will be a mistake to stay stuck in prior patterns at this time, and an advantage to move forward with new and innovative thinking. The Full Moon that comes along on Saturday evening, October 3rd, might serve to put the icing on the cake as far as these types of issues. You are seeking a balance point, a way to operate smoothly in spite of difficulties. Others in your life can be a hugely helpful factor in seeing your way clear. Your communication at this time is optimistic and spiritually motivated, and this goes a long way toward making the best of things and, where competing unpleasant eventualities might loom, finding a third choice. You are paving the way for the future right now and it helps to take the long view of your circumstances. Your values are morphing and along with them your downplaying of needs that are simply material. As you prepare to take the plunge into a new phase that is a better fit for your future self you might morn the loss of your rut or you might celebrate it. The drop off the high board into the deep end of the pool could come as soon as the second half of this month, kicked off by the New Moon of Saturday evening, October 17th, in your sector of societal involvement. Plans at this time involve soul-work as well as the merely mundane, and are important to get right because your vision now will manifest as actual events during the remainder of the year, and beyond. As you go through these final two weeks, there could be surprising turns that only seem to sidetrack you, since everything that is occurring is happening for a good reason, and that reason is ultimately beneficial to both you and the universe that surrounds you and sustains you.
