october horoscope

Work will be on your mind as you begin October. You'll be busy finishing a major project at the full moon phase, October 4, plus or minus four days. You'll see a strong team effort around you, so you will make your deadline, plus or minus four days of this date. Keep your health up to par, as you'll be using a great deal of your energy.

A wonderful feature of October is that Saturn, the planet of lessons learned and of facing and accepting new responsibilities, will exit your eleventh house of friendship, fun, and events. Over the past two years that Saturn has occupied this house, you may have been concerned about a friend and perhaps helped him or her through a personal crisis. Or, you may have taken on a leadership position in a club or charity, for the eleventh house rules groups and also humanitarian events. Once Saturn moves on, you will find your social life becomes lighter and happier.

Saturn will briefly move back into this house when it retrogrades from April 7 to July 21, 2010. Those fourteen weeks will fly by, and moreover, you will have seen just how vibrant life can be. That will change you in a very deep and abiding way. Your outlook and your love life will improve, too, as the eleventh house of friendship, parties, and other fun events is linked to your fifth house of true love. Wow, this surely is the moment you have awaited! Just remember that Saturn will move on October 29, and it will take a little while to feel the difference, but feel it you will!

This is all very curious because meanwhile, in another part of your chart, on October 16, Mars, the planet of energy and purpose, will be gearing up to add nearly eight months of razzle-dazzle to your career. Just as Saturn is due to haul out of your eleventh house, allowing your private life to blossom, Mars will be busy seeing to it that you finally get career rewards for hard work you've put in. You will have to pay attention to your career after October 16 - you will get the kind of opportunities that you used to only dream about, but you will have a better balance in your life between your private and public life.

Speaking about your career, your best phase will come in the spring, from March 10 to June 7, but you should see some exciting news later this month and in November, too. The part of the chart that Mars will highlight is your house of honors, awards, achievement, and fame - quite a lofty part of the chart. Your name will be in lights in your industry for months, from now until June 7, 2010. Wow!

Lastly, once Saturn enters your twelfth house, you will have a chance to live a healthier life in every sense. This is the house of self-undoing, the area of the chart that reflects self-destructive behavior. Sometimes we simply don't believe there will be consequences. Saturn will look to see if there are any areas you need to work on, and he will help you. If there is a habit that is bad for you, Saturn will show you how to kick it and give you the means and reasons to do so. If you have only dated unavailable types, you will end that proclivity - first seeing why you do - so that you can find true romantic happiness you deserve.

Think of Saturn as an expert you hire to come in to clean out the closets of your mind. Saturn will help you reorganize them by showing you what should remain and what should go. You are about to start a whole new cycle in late 2012 and it will be Saturn's job to make sure you begin it in the best possible way, on the right foot.
