Horoscope for the week beginning October 27
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The Sun entered Scorpio on October 22 from Mountain Time and west and October 23 everywhere else. Mercury was already there as of October 17 and remains in close proximity to Jupiter which entered on October 10. Mars entered Libra almost exactly 12 hours prior to the Sun ingress Scorpio. Mars, which co-rules Scorpio along with Pluto, can prove edgy and provocative in Libra despite all intentions to the contrary. Pluto is unaspected in Capricorn, which tends to produce a ‘wild card’ effect, rendering it even more unpredictable.
Looking at the state of the world and the human condition, there is a lot happening. Some might simply regard it as ‘the same old, same old.’ The timeless turbulence of human dynamics, resonant of Shakespearean themes, revealing essentially similar plots, intrigues, and antics despite variances in the setting is the never-ending human story. As the famous French language sayings go, ‘Le plus ca changes, le plus c’est la meme choses’ and (et) c’est la vie.
The drama on the world stage is ever filled with endings, desecration, and death, but also with birth and new beginnings of all kinds. In between these two extremes are transformation and rebirth. All of these are features of the Scorpio archetype. An archetype is not merely a symbol or a sign or a constellation or a time of the year. An archetype can basically be defined as a core or an essential principle of life however one chooses to label it. Synchronicity is the timing factor that is suggestive of deeper purposes and meanings at play. Astrology is all about archetypes and synchronicity. How are these playing out in your life? With the help of astrology, I can help you to understand the deeper meaning and purpose.
Oct. 27 – Nov. 2
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Somehow or another you have taken a plunge into the deep end. The results are likely mixed and require further investigation and time for careful consideration. The negotiation process will likely produce some real sparks and some may even burn. Positively, high stakes are featured and you are in a good position to benefit.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Powerful waves are washing in on your shores and are affecting your most personal and important relationships. You are challenged to give more than you might usually and although you are able and even willing, doing so may come with some resentment. If you can see a fair deal within it all things will flow more smoothly, otherwise storm clouds are gathering.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Attending to the health and quality of your daily routine is rapidly emerging as a major theme. It does entail relationship involvements that up to now have been pretty good. But, you may be entering a challenging cycle that could last a month or even two. Like a storm that clears the air, the results may prove very positive, but first the storm.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have entered a creative cycle. Some of your energy and focus will likely be directed to your home. Creating more harmony, flow and beauty is indicated. Yet, a renovation process is also indicated. Unless you have already begun, take the initiative now because it is less likely that you will want to or have the opportunity if you wait.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your imaginative juices are beginning to really flow now. This inspirational momentum is serving to boost your confidence levels. Your energy levels should be running pretty high these days and this is supporting you to push through blocks and delay patterns. You are entering a cycle that stands to produce original designs.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
Dreams of possibility are pushing you to address your financial status. Your focus may range from simply getting organized to creating a realistic budget to making key investments and more yet. In any case, you are diversifying your focus and are intent upon taking initiatives that will pave a smoother road for the future.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
A new momentum has begun. Finances are a central theme. You are determined to make some important investments. This focus will continue for several weeks so if you have not taken direct action yet, now is probably a good time. Knowing your direction is important and will become even more so in 2018 to focus on seeing the bigger picture over the long-term.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A busy time behind the scenes continues but has already begun to produce outer actions. This week and over the next few you will take even more deliberate actions. Yet, many of these will continue within and/or behind the scenes into December. This can prove to be a very productive period both literally and psychologically, if you do the work.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A mix of energy patterns is at play. On one hand, you feel called within while on the other you feel social, punchy and rebellious. You yearn for a vision and clarity regarding a deeper truth, what you understand and deem to be true. A quest to realize and/or to hear the whispers of your soul may require periods of retreat.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A spike in public prominence continues to keep you busy. Yet inwardly, old commitments and relationship patterns are rapidly dissolving. All being well, this could be a perfect balance. Still, circumstances are calling for a blend of grit and grace. Getting to the bottom of things whatever it takes while also nurturing the needs of others is the delicate balance.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Gaining the recognition you want and need is in the spotlight. Achieving your goals requires a mix of drive and diplomacy. Faith in the flow is also required and may be your greatest challenge at this time and this theme will continue throughout 2018. Cultural interests and involvements hold extra appeal especially now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Deep changes continue to brew and churn both within and without. These are requiring you to give more than usual. You may also have to contend with some endings, perhaps of relationships and this could prove painful. Yet, what might be ending is ways of relating and therefore your full attention to how to best engage is required.
