SCORPIO | OCTOBER HORSCOPE

The Full Moon in Aries on the 1st opens up this month with an intense energy, ready to set us up for the rest of October. This will be activating your 6th house of health and coworkers, inviting you to clean house of any unhealthy and self-sabotaging habits. Take advantage of some of this Mars energy to help cut, severe and eliminate some of those in order to make room for healthier and more effective ways of taking care of your body. For more insight on this lunation CLICK HERE.On October 2nd, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters your 11th house of social groups, networking and hopes, encouraging you to take a more socially active approach in life! (With safety precautions, of course) Perhaps starting a new book club or a writing group would be a nice mercurial and bonding activity to find pleasure in during this time! On the 13th, Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, stations retrograde in your 1st house of self and identity. Be cautious about the way you communicate during this period! Usually retrogrades can indicate anything from delays, miscommunications and troubles to re-thinking and re-assessing the way we communicate our desires and feelings. On the 16th, we will have a super packed New Moon in Libra, which will be in your 12th house of isolation and subconscious, indicating a more withdrawn dynamic in play for this lunation. Often the 12th house can be a difficult place to find joy and/or balance, but it is imperative you dive into your subconscious and attend to any patterns that are not conducive to good mental health. This New Moon can help you identify and bring forth new ways in which you can take care of your health (mentally more than physically) On the 22nd, the Sun enters your Scorpio 1st house, not only offering you time to recharge your batteries and bask in the warm and supportive energy the Sun has to offer, but also actively working on visiting the challenges that Mercury RX is bringing up. On October 27th, Mercury slides back into Libra, bringing some themes of re-visiting to your 12th house and inviting us to check in with the intentions we previously planted a week prior during the Libra New Moon. How are you tending to these seeds in order for them to manifest properly? Shortly after, Venus enters your 12th house of Libra as well, signaling a more selfless energy when it comes to tending to the people you love around you. Do not forget that your relationship with yourself is one you have to tend to quite often, and make sure that you are not holding other people accountable for the time you allot to them per your own wish. To wrap up the month, we have a Full Moon in Taurus on Oct 31st (YES, HALLOWEEN!) illuminating your 7th house of relationships and close partnerships. What is asking to be released? This is a Venus ruled lunation, so pay attention to your values and love languages. Are your relationships meeting those standards? Are you lowering your bar in order to please someone else? Are your expectations way too high for people to meet? This is a time of release and adjustment, where you can get a chance to radicalize yourself and the way you view and value relationships (Moon conjunct Uranus).
