Scorpio Horoscope for October 2017

You are having another adventurous month, Scorpio, with wheels and your values all in motion. Your dreams and schemes have never been stranger or more powerful. You are reveling in new awareness regarding service to the larger society that surrounds you, on a mission to explore every facet of your true purpose in this lifetime. As an important part of this, you are engaged in inner work. Your interior world reveals your deepest values, and these in turn govern those activities most clearly aligned with soul intention. The Full Moon of October 5th pulls you further into idealism. In addition to delving down into your depths, partnership with others increases your understanding of your own perspective. The latter half of the month sees you in a very good place, confident and almost glowing, enhanced to the extent that you can open to possibilities departing from and extending the scope of your more normalized roadway.

When I peer into your future Scorpio, I see a strong desire for regenerating adventures, and also more opportunities to do so. In order for you to tune in to the synchronicities that will help you establish new pathways, you must first clean the many assumptions cluttering your mind. Some of these assumptions could be connected to comfort, relationships and an uncontrollable desire to merge. I think you know what I am talking about. In the last year, you have slowly realized that your desire for intimacy locks you in a sort of self-defeating trance. Upon entering a relationship, part of you is on hold, on a shelf, and out of reach while you preoccupy yourself with the woes of your lover. This is quite admirable, but it is also becoming quite obvious that your happiness suffers as a result. Deconstructing your relationship patterns should serve you well this month. It won't solve everything, but illuminating your relationship mechanics will help you control your impulses a little bit better. Remember that not everything is set in stone; see where you are adopting a fatalistic attitude that keeps you locked in. You have the power to dislodged these old rusty wheels and change your gears. The first step will be to connect with the uglier truth hiding behind your relationship habits. Half the battle will be to establish contact with your fears and to temper your impulses to merge.

On October 10, Jupiter, the planet of joy and abundance, moves into your waters for a whole year. Jupiter is closely linked to the ability of generating fortune and luck in our lives.

Being an optimist is a lot of work and it doesn't necessarily come naturally to Scorpios, but this year will show you how.

The New Moon in Libra on October 19 invites you to air out your closet and make space for the new cycle of growth that is about to begin for you. Perhaps this involves letting go of burdensome responsibilities that are not yours to begin with. Be honest about self-defeating habits that are hampering your capacity to reach higher grounds. What aspects of your routine are you ready to let go of and what new practices are you ready to integrate' What does positive intensity mean to you' Can you find ways to feed your spirit the excitement that it craves without becoming self-destructive' Set your sights on mountain peaks.
