October 2013 Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope October:

January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Someone new and quite exciting may be due to make quite the entry into your life - and it will be a grand entry indeed! In fact, you may not know what to do with this fiery, expansive soul. If they sweep you off your feet and it's just what you've been looking for, so much the better! If they seem just a bit too "dangerous" for your liking, then take your time getting to know them.

The Magician represents skill, wisdom, and the ability to use those qualities to get what you want. This month, then, go after whatever it is that you know you deserve. You have a knack for something, and you love to do it. If you're already working in that field, you can expect all good things to come your way now - recognition, for starters. If you're still searching, don't be shy about it.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

February: Pisces February 19 - March 19

Emotions are a funny thing. They can aid us, acting like "antennae" when we're uncertain about the outcome of a situation (in the intellectual sense), and end up guiding us toward the most positive outcome. On the other hand, they can sway us, that is, if we let our hearts rule our minds when we really know they shouldn't. The appearance of The Moon, however, means that it's your heart you should heed. Trust it above all else.

For a while now, you've been mulling over a career matter - and over the coming month, you know you'll have to make a decision. Try your best to settle on something you can live with, not just for now, but for some time to come. Once that's done, you'll be able to relax - and even better, to lead with authority, which is exactly the position you know you deserve.

Every now and then, we all feel happy to just be us. It's not common, so when it occurs, be grateful. It's your turn to be grateful now, because you'll enjoy that feeling for the next month, thanks to the card of The World, an indication that no matter what you've been doing over the past few weeks, months, or years, you've definitely been doing it right.

March: Aries March 20 - April 20

It's time for you to take on the qualities of introversion, seclusion, and thinking seriously about the reality of a romantic situation. If you're not happy or satisfied, The Hermit can mean a relationship is about to end, or has really already ended. More so, however, it can indicate a time of increased trust, when two people actually need to allow each other time to be alone, without any unfounded suspicions.

There's something going on at work that isn't quite right, and you haven't been sure about what to do. Now that The High Priestess has appeared, however, the month's path has become very clear. You know exactly what's required of you, both by your conscience and by the trust that co-workers and superiors have placed in you. Don't destroy that trust, no matter how tough it is to do the right thing.

Inside each and every one of us, there's a "dark passenger" who's willing to do absolutely anything to get what they want. It's not an attractive trait, but it's there. When The Devil appears, our job is to resist the worst in us, and to resist the worst in others as well. Otherwise, we'll wake up ashamed one day - the worst feeling in the world. Call a friend if you need to talk.

April: Taurus April 21 - May 21

You're about to enter a time of introspection with regard to a certain partnership matter. That is, if you see something unusual or uncertain happening in your current relationship, you'll need some time alone to think things over. If your partner really knows you and cares for you, they'll give you this time - with their blessings. If not, you may need to add that to the list of matters to consider about your relationship.

Over the next month, you may need to seriously reconsider the type of work you've been doing or the position you've had within the company - because something is definitely going to change. If you think about it honestly, you'll realize that all this really isn't much of a surprise. In fact, you've probably been expecting it, and one some levels, looking forward to it. Think of the possibilities now available to you!

Remember having nightmares when you were little, and only being reassured by climbing into your parents' bed? Well, when this card turns up in this position, no matter what age you are, it indicates that you're feeling the same thing - but in "grown-up terms." Your mission now is to find someone or something that makes you feel safe. The thing is, it will only come from within. Dig deep!

May: Gemini May 22 - June 21

The card of Judgement indicates the ending of several matters - the happy ending, that is. First of all, and most important to you, will be the fact that you'll actually be ready to come together with "another" to find your perfect match - the kind of person that you deserve. Don't be doubtful, or worry that they're not quite right. Trust your instincts and know that your long trek is over.

The Empress often turns up when we're about to start a whole new career or take a step up the ladder of success. If you've been thinking of taking a leap, this is definitely the month to do it. Be imaginative, and unafraid to try something new, especially if it will catch the attention of your higher-ups. Your rewards may arrive quite quickly, but a major change in your routine could accompany them. Don't worry.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

June: Cancer June 22 - July 22

Someone is courting you - or at least, trying to. If you've been putting them off, there's a reason for it. The High Priestess will gently guide you as you try to decide what to do. The keyword in her magic, however, is "gently." Don't rush, don't allow yourself to be rushed, and if you hear the words, "If you loved me, you would," take warning. If they loved you, they'd never try to push you.

When The World appears, you've received a very important indication that you've done the right thing, been in the right place at the right time, and chosen the right occupation. Of course, you'll already know all that, by the feelings you have, but also by the happiness and contentment you're already experiencing within your current occupation. If you're not satisfied, don't despair. Something you never expected will come along, when you least expect it.

We all know someone who we think of or refer to as a Hermit - someone who, more often than not, seems to prefer their own company to that of others. No matter how sociable you are, then, don't be surprised if you choose to spend time alone now - much to the disappointment of your friends! Be kind. Explain to them that you need some time alone to think a certain matter through.

July: Leo: July 23 - August 23

Do you feel "stuck" or "imprisoned" in your current situation? If you're attached but unhappy and wishing to leave the relationship, stop stalling. If you're single, figure out how to find someone new who suits you. Even if you don't have many opportunities to get out and meet them, don't accept any excuses from yourself. If you really want to find love, you'll find a way.

When The Wheel of Fortune appears, no matter how much at the mercy of the Powers That Be you feel, you have much more to do with the outcome of the matter than you can imagine. In fact, your attitude has absolutely everything to do with the end result of the problem or dilemma. For that reason, it's time for you to take control of what's going on - so grab the steering wheel and do not let go.

There are many types of strength: the physical, of course, the emotional, and the spiritual, to name a few. When the card of Strength appears, you will be asked to dig deep and show at least one type of personal power over the next month. If you've been fighting a battle of any kind, your adversary stands no chance of winning now - provided that you determine never to give up!

August: Virgo August 24 - September 23

Times are changing, and whether the outcome is for the better or worse is up to you. Remember that everything is in your hands - the ends as well as the means. If you decide, then, along the course of a current relationship, that you are unhappy, or that you want more out of a partnership, take the bull by the horns and end it or steer it in a new direction.

It's time to take the initiative, so put together a resume that truly represents you and get it out there. The Magician will be more than happy to help. In fact, the presence of this card means that you can be your own Magician, especially in the department of communications. Don't hesitate to toot your own horn. You know you're good at what you do, so why not brag about it?

There's no doubt that your physical health will either improve or stay as robust as ever now. When The Sun appears, it's hard to avoid either happy condition - and why would you want to? Of course, the one thing you will need to avoid is the tendency to overdo, in all departments, from food and drink to staying up late, chatting with a lover - or soon-to-be lover. Try your best to moderate.

September: Libra September 24 - October 23

Do you feel "stuck" or "imprisoned" in your current situation? If you're attached but unhappy and wishing to leave the relationship, stop stalling. If you're single, figure out how to find someone new who suits you. Even if you don't have many opportunities to get out and meet them, don't accept any excuses from yourself. If you really want to find love, you'll find a way.

When The Tower appears in this position, it shows that you're just dying to get away from a situation that's keeping you from realizing your full potential. You need to get away from the circumstances that are holding you back, whether it's a higher-up who's been trying to keep you under their thumb or a co-worker who's been stealing your thunder. Don't let it happen. It's not healthy for you, and you definitely don't need it.

Everyone has a romantic, dreamy side to their personality. The best part of The Moon is that it arrives to give us a chance to escape "real life" and be who we are, rather than what life and other people expect us to be. Lucky you. It's time for you to escape - with a lover! Remember, though, that this won't be a "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz" journey - this will be a passionate distraction!

October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22

When The Moon appears, it's time for all of us to experience the emotional side of ourselves. Big Time. In your case, you're due for a month's worth of fantasies, so enjoy it. It might be about castles. It might be about the Roaring 20s. It might also be about the current time, with someone you know right now. Regardless, enjoy it. It's time to forget reality and enjoy the deeper, more enchanting side of life.

The Hanged Man in this position indicates that you've been feeling stuck, delayed, and overdue for the praise you deserve due to the quality of the job you've been doing. The good news is that you'll only have to deal with this for a month. Afterward, your superiors will see just how hard you've been working at your task. Basically, this card is asking you to have just a little more patience.

The Magician is a very intellectual card. It represents the ability to use our own personal brand of wisdom to keep ourselves healthy and happy - on all levels, from the physical to the mental to the spiritual. Your mission this month is to keep yourself strong in all those categories. Take care of your body, your mind, and your spirit in the best ways that you possibly can.

November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21

Up until now, you may have thought that you've allowed yourself to be led along by whatever - or whomever - seemed to be "in charge" of you, and of the most important aspects of your love-life. A recent event, however, will prove to you that you aren't just a spectator - you're in charge of how it all turns out, and the result pertains most especially to how you deal with your partner.

The appearance of The Empress is an indication of abundance - of all good things about to come your way. The only part you really must play in this is to take advantage of the generous gifts this great mother will send without becoming greedy or selfish. In the department of career, then, your best bet this month is to share the wealth, literally. Let others know how much you appreciate their efforts on your behalf.

The appearance of The Tower points to something that humans just don't care much for: change. Big change. Total change. The problem is that while we can deal with change, we like for it to happen on our own terms, which isn't usually how it happens. So, when you see this card, it's time to prepare yourself for anything and everything, and remember that whatever happens is part of The Grand Scheme. Cooperate.

December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19

The World brings unity and strength. When this card appears, it's to let you know that you're at the very end of long journey. When it pertains to love, it likely means that you're about to make a major move - to cohabitate, marry, or have a child with someone you adore. If you're not yet romantically entangled, it may also mean that you're about to either ask or answer such a question. Prepare yourself - happily!

The card of Strength in this position absolutely demands that you dedicate yourself completely to the task at hand. Now, that may mean that you need to cancel all your social plans and get down to business, or it may mean that you need to delegate with an eye toward the success of the entire project, so that all parties concerned emerge with a "piece of the pie." Regardless, keep your eye on the prize!

There's no doubt that your physical health will either improve or stay as robust as ever now. When The Sun appears, it's hard to avoid either happy condition - and why would you want to? Of course, the one thing you will need to avoid is the tendency to overdo, in all departments, from food and drink to staying up late, chatting with a lover - or soon-to-be lover. Try your best to moderate.
