October Horoscope General Summary

October begins with a number of challenges. First of all, planet Mercury will be doing its apparent retrograde thing. This will not be the best time to initiate anything new. Rather, it is a time to reflect, rework and redo. Intuition is generally high during this time and it will be a great opportunity to see things in a brand new light. However, our basic bottom line tendencies may be missing so we are unlikely to see the obvious things that are generally apparent to us. Keep a journal. Write thoughts down for future use. This ends on the 18th.

The other major happenings this month is the “reversal” of three outer planets from apparent retrograde motion to direct. When major planets do this, they seem to be locked in step with our Earth for about a week; a few days before and a few days after the event. This makes their influence stronger than usual during the shift. The first one to do so this month is Pluto occurring on the 6th. Although this planet is small, its influence is huge. It was discovered, after all, around the same time as the atom bomb which was exploded with plutonium. Expect some rumblings whether inner or outer at this time.
Next comes Saturn on the 10th. This planet rules karma, challenges and the past. Try to figure out any connections to former actions with current realities.

Jupiter is last, but never least, on the 18th. Jupiter brings expansion so look for some big, bold happenings around this time. As this is the same day that Mercury shifts, there could be a lot to talk about.
