October Horoscopes

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 - November 21)
Fixed Water. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.

Communication is key for you right now, Scorpio. You are coming to a different understanding regarding your societal connection, and as you do the input of other voices serves to balance your energy. You cannot help but include Spirit into the equation. You are big on individual creativity right now, and this serves to further your intense sense of purpose as you funnel your energies into the surrounding collective. Preparing for greatness, you are nevertheless hibernating for a spell, reflecting on recent changes. In the last week of the month you'll reverse to being fiery and out in the world, and also more serious than ever concerning your spiritual commitment.

As the month begins, you are filled to the brim with hopes and plans for a better future for yourself and your loved ones, although you are simultaneously feeling the limitations of practical necessity that might be putting somewhat of a damper on those same plans. This carries over from the last two weeks of September. It's a bit of a push-pull, where part of you longs for freedom from constraint, and yet part of you also feels the need to hang on to it. Although the situation might not get any easier as it develops into the current month, and could perhaps become even more confusing, you will make progress by surrendering, and that part gets easier and easier the more involved you get. It's like letting go of the steering wheel and finding to your surprise that the car steers itself just fine instead. There is no need to stress over contingencies or even to do much actual planning, letting go is all that is needed. By the time of the Full Moon taking place on Saturday, October 3rd, this might become almost second nature, or else reach a delicate and delicious place of resistance within you, depending on how you handle it. Your thought now has the power to transform what seems impossible, through adopting a different point of view. You are seeking a way to a better feeling of safety and security in your home setting, through a subtle and often confusing process, and perhaps even finding it. With the New Moon two weeks later, taking place on Saturday, October 17th, there is renewed energy for this process and for striking out in a different direction with it all. There is also likely to be some periods of tension leading up to this time, perhaps the tension of the resolution of different points of view. You are feeling very private at this important juncture, which also sets the tone for the next two weeks, and on into November. There is a way in which you are enlisting Spirit to your aid at this time, and it takes going to the inside to seek answers to unobvious questions, and also coming to a better idea of where you want to go when you exteriorize it. In the last week of the month, kicked off by the First Quarter Moon of Sunday, October 25th, you are well on your way to a better level of integration. This could be a tricky and a tension-fraught time, when conflicts might easily arise, but when creative sparks can also that you may well profit from.
