Overview 10/17-10/31: The last two weeks of October are kicked off by a new moon in Libra, highlighting the strengths and challenges in our relationships and alliances. You can trust the work and structures you have put into practice during the last month. Power imbalances need to be addressed; wherever we may be lying to ourselves will become crystal clear mid November. Use this time to play fair and cultivate honest dialogue. At the end of October take some time for meditation, creative outlets, healing work: whatever supports you in honing your intuition.
10/17…New Moon in Libra: Love and Self-Worth
Where can you focus more on what’s working in your relationships and build from there, versus the challenges? The spiritual teacher Robert Moss says that the distance/closeness you feel with others reflects the distance/closeness you feel with yourself. You are worthy of incredible love and connection in your life, but don’t assume others know how to love you. For this new moon, write a how-to-love me list: at least ten ways you have felt treasured, seen, and loved by others, things that make you feel irresistible, respected, accepted, sexy, and understood. Share this list with others.
Edgy energy…10/18…We have outgrown some attitudes, especially about how we hold power. Resist the urge to dominate and control. Self-discipline is needed to purge patterns of controlling behavior/disempowerment. You have the opportunity to change longstanding patterns and release pent up forces.
10/19…Brings an opportunity to make different choices in our relationships, most likely based on what occurred for you last weekend. If you feel awkward or vulnerable, that’s okay and to be expected when you are learning new skills.
Breakthough…10/20-10/21…into friendlier territory. Neutrality is easier to come by after the passion of the past week. Collaboration yields a bigger, better option than you could have come up with on your own.
Pensive…10/22-10/23…Where we need to focus is clear. Tap into your longing to plug into a great power source.
10/24…Trust your intuition and your passion. Rewards and results come from a successful strategy.
10/25-10/26…Temper strong emotions by acting like an eagle, flying high above the ground, able to see the larger terrain while expertly tracking your prey.
10/27-10/28…We have lots to be thankful for. Celebrate abundance in your life. If caught in negativity, ask probing questions of yourself and others.
10/29..Today the planet Saturn moves into Libra. April 2010-July 2010 it will retrograde into Virgo before moving into Libra for good until fall 2012. Time to bring out the inner peace builder in all areas of your life. Where might you need to brush up on your conflict mediation skills? Libra also has to do with balance; address areas in your life that are imbalanced. Collectively we can expect developments in the arts, non-violence, fashion and wedding industry, and changes in the legal system in the next couple of years.
10/30-10/31…Celebrating Samhain… great for healing work, getting in touch with your intuition, connecting with ancestors. Try on different costumes: let’s play with our ego personality and let go of overly identifying with any one part of ourselves. Celebrate how magnificent and multifaceted you really are.
