Planning for Growth in October 2018

Synopsis: According to the stars, your personal journey in the month of October has dramatic story lines. Its many experiences are designed to set you on the right path, reveal your personal truth, and tell you what “has to be done” to free your energy.

Realizations and acceptance free your energy. If you’re giving too much or doing too much where you sacrifice the balance of your own life, you’ll realize the compromise and the cost.

Venus retrograde October 5^th: With any creative project, it’s likely back to the drawing board! Revise and refine those plans and presentations. In personal relationships while Venus is retrograde (until mid-November), you can be revisited with circumstances that give you a chance to handle things differently.

Libra New Moon October 8^th: “Don’t bite off more than you can chew”, it says: “It’s a better project, a better product, and a better you, when you don’t over-commit.”

Mercury in Scorpio October 9^th: It can get rough: Your thoughts dive deep and new truths are revealed. This potentially uncomfortable process makes you realize what you need to be happy and feel supported in relationships.

Taurus Full Moon October 24th: The Sun enters Scorpio hours before the full moon conjuncts unpredictable Uranus. The unexpected, electric encounters, and shocking events can surprise us this week. You might find yourself in a different place about something (or someone) important to you – an improvement over where you were at a month ago on the last full moon. On a more practical note, hold on to your wallet! It is very easy to overspend now. Be extra alert while driving.

Sun conjunct Venus October 26^th: Now the fortunate Sun/Venus conjunction helps you reframe October’s events: they are meant to act as catalysts for better choices and deeper self- knowledge. Expect to have a surge of energy and an easier time maintaining healthy habits. October might leave you marveling at the mysterious path of personal transformation.

October 31^st Party Time: Halloween parties could be extra creative with fabulous costumes! Venus goes into Libra, and a lot has been figured out in the last month by listening to your feelings and making adjustments. November will not be so personally intense.
