Nature and its creatures take a big hit. The truth that resounds through whatever suffering  we witness this Fall is that we are all affected, all in this together, all One.  Trying to destroy evil won't work at this time, it's a wave of ugliness that goes away fastest if we don't fight back with how wrong other people are. People can turn their attention to what they want to create if they're free of venom and bile. 

Stay with your own happy crowd! There's power in numbers of like-minded people. 

Distractions abound, it is hard to focus, but it's the only way to reach your goals! 

Former friends are enemies because of politics.

Circumstances place a lot more responsibility on people to make their life what they want it to be: willingness to believe in one's dreams becomes tremendously important.

October 2016:  Ambition surges, tempting people to skip the niceties, especially the second half of the month. Make your ruthless urges about what you want to do for yourself, not what you want to do to others. 

It's not easy to win peoples' trust this month, it must be earned: trust will be the product of cumulative effort. Even learning to trust your own self will take some consistent behavior on your part!

There's a sense that a lot of debts have to be paid, or people have to invest a lot in their business now without necessarily seeing the return.  Also, it's very easy to bite off more than you can chew, to make promises to yourself and others that are difficult to keep. Be on the safe side and be conservative about what you can deliver. 

October Fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius: The key word and action this month is "adjusting". There's a lot of adjusting to do, but most important to know is that the adjusting process is successful, putting you in a position to surge ahead once adjustments are made. In the name of getting on an even keel, being able to be successful, and creating a life that supports you, there's a lot of adjusting to do. You can be adjusting to difficulty or disruption, and it might feel like your life has taken a little dip. That's all it is!

October Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces: You feel good, you feel grounded, you feel strong. There's a peace of mind, a sense of comfort about being able to handle things; you've been a responsible person, and doing the work as you have allows this peace of mind. You're able to build up your strength, and build on your strength. There's a reason for this great development: it is a springboard for your more ambitious undertakings.

October Air signs, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius: You're in touch with your feelings,  and the fallout from recognizing how you feel is that it takes courage to face what the truth requires. Even though you can be emotionally certain, it is not easy to act on it. You're wanting and needing more closeness, more love. Your instincts are positive, helping you do what it takes to reach for fulfillment.

October Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn: You are feeling quite a bit different than you did in the beginning of September. You are still kind of new to a new world, having gone through a lot of change...in a positive yet humble place, feeling quite alive and glad to be where you are. Basically, you're seeking to establish yourself anew. If you have health concerns, new positive patterns you develop will support you. There's something so fresh and new about you this month: the days may be getting shorter, but yours are getting brighter.
