October Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a revitalizing time for you, Sagittarius, and attitude is all-important. Your idealized concept of a future life that you can believe in has never been as fully present to you as it is right now. The cosmos is inviting you to put aside cynicism and despair, and to embrace the possibility of positive change in a way that exceeds previous high-water marks. Just go for it. You must also be aware that in the course of actualizing your powerful vision there will be inevitably chaos, confusion and uncertainty, just as is always the case with any new conception. Your task is therefore to witness everything that happens just as it is, without needing to editorialize from the limited standpoint of your logical mind, which knows after all only half of the story, at most.

As the month begins, you are filled with juicy energy for change. You can literally see the future coming toward you and it is looking good. Rapid movement in self-expression and in self-concept is your trademark now, and acknowledging your inner world is an extremely important and potentially underestimated component of your adventure as you voyage onward. You have an enviable facility for the affairs of this world, but you are pulled backward as though via a shadowy undertow into your depths in order to settle some old business that has long remained hidden away from the light of common occurrence. It might seem a paradoxical situation that just as you are sailing away on the wings of commerce and outer achievement you have to deal with this dark unknown side of your psyche, but then, paradox is a necessary factor in dealing with the mysteries of these relatively unknown portions of the psyche. The good news is that, once integrated, this hidden material becomes a source of greater strength than you have experienced up to now. The First Quarter Moon of Monday, October 3rd, presents you with a few more snags in the road of your progress. This is when you are tested in the depth of your commitment to a new way of seeing and acting in the world, and must face the entire set of possibilities implicit in your original design including the possibility of failing to match your perfect concept. Since this is quite a high ideal to begin with, some movement in the contrary direction is not really very much of a surprise, but in any case this is the point in the lunar cycle for dealing with the drawbacks inherent in your plan of action. The Full Moon time of the following week, culminating in the actual phase of Tuesday evening, October 11th, is the full flowering of the resultant mixture of optimism and a more restrained thought process, when you will choose the stance that makes the most sense to you going forward, and fight for it if necessary. You are in a potentially confusing time and you make the most of it by following the lead of inner intuition and trusting in the benevolence of the universe. There is always the principle of grace to consider. When you have done everything that you can do, then you must simply relax and let the chips fall. There is indeed a power of cosmic momentum if you are putting your best foot forward; sincere boldness has its own reward. The Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, October 19th, ushers in a period of reflection preceding the New Moon in the last full week of the month. This is a time when you might find yourself revisiting your original idealism with a more judicial viewpoint, based on the events that have transpired over the three weeks of the lunar cycle as thus far experienced. You are now pulling back somewhat and preparing to enter a more meditative frame of mind in the time leading up to your annual renewal of late November.
