Sometimes, the world is too much. Relief comes for you, Aries, in a week, October 1, when Saturn retrograde leaves your sign and stops torturing you. You’ve been bombarded recently, overwhelmed with all you’ve had to do, perhaps by an annoying person, and by a very busy sixth workhouse. Some of you have felt you were drowning, under an oppressive routine. It’s been fairly unbearable. This month, however, the emphasis shifts, and positively – to relationships, and positively, contracts, partnerships. It’s time to sign!
And then all the annoying, tormenting minutiae is gone. Swiftly and immediately, explosively, gone. Pluto going direct October 13 begins it, smoothing out the logistics, and getting rid of any lack of clarity. Its razor-sharp laser, retrograde since the beginning of May, highlights your public reputation, catapulting your greatest dreams forward.
Partnerships are the answer until October 22. Before October 22, wring the planets’ last drops of gold into them! Negotiate what you want and shake on it. Remember: everything is negotiable.
Pluto spends half the year in retrograde and during that time we can all get paranoid and low… tormented by doubt and distraction…then when it goes direct, we are free from the dark spots – and thoughts.
So now you can make rational decisions concerning your professional and public areas.
Ask yourself: How are you regarded in your professional community at large? And how much does it mean to you? You can expect to feel greatly relieved – no longer wounded or angry about it – as October gets underway.
From this feeling of self-forgiveness (because that’s what it is – truth be told, you are VERY hard on yourself, Aries) come good and powerful changes. Your career takes off more on its own direction – the way YOU would like it to go. No longer at the mercy of having to fit into a mold, you are free to redesign yourself and your work as you wish.
It will be incredibly liberating. I am excited and happy for you, Aries!
I predict you do not go gentle into that good night, but oh, Aries, I wish you would. Your dramatic spotlight, brought to you by the makers of the Harvest full Aries Moon on October 6, gives you an awesome opportunity to make everything okay. Be nice to all your partners and friends. On this night, October’s battle of wills should not bring you to your knees. Patient give and take equals your success. Talk it through.
That volcano inside you requires an outlet, yes, but translate onto the stage or into genius expression, not into a fire that burns bridges, friends, and associates. So employ patience, particularly if you are traveling, and with those far, far away, and you will triumph.
In twelve step speak, you can make amends. If you’re so inclined. If you happen to miss someone with whom you were once close. Or if you need to work well again with a partner or colleague with whom things have become a bit, shall we say, strained.
As October continues, you’ll be able to talk pretty much anyone into anything, even though others’ commitment may appear shaky, and as you talk with more reason, you also become more popular.
Your easiest time for this is before October 6. But also on one day especially, October 21, when there will be a new Libra moon in your seventh relating house. A new partnership or contract will be born under this new moon. And – truly – the universe will help you, if you let it. For most of October you have the blessing of the life-giving Sun, the current harmonious Libra Moon, brilliant thought and word planet Mercury, and planet of love and beauty Venus after October 13 all in your seventh house of getting on with others. It’s moments like these that great treaties of the world are made.
In your relationships house you have:
Awesome, life-giving Sun
Brilliant planet of thought and word Mercury
Lovey planet of beauty and love Venus
A new Libra Moon October 21
And your seventh house, traditionally ruled by partnership-oriented Libra, covers these areas of your life:
Marriage
Love and work partnerships
Soul mates
Business partners
Best friends and peers
Professional joint partnerships
Contracts
All collaborations
Relating and relationships
Bitter enemies in the open
Art and beauty
Co-operation
Discussions, debates
A lot happens to you this month unexpectedly and suddenly. This part you can work with. As in, get thee to a meditation class, learn to regulate your breathing, calm your mind. It’s the only way to go through such a storm without feeling insane.
Good old work and attention to detail save you, too.
It may be boring, but it saves you this year and can make you a ton of money.
A new contract with yourself is beginning – as you may have felt recently. It’s time.
Your dissatisfaction with the relationships in your life is coming to an end. (Even though you may be feeling aggravated about joint resources and mutual monies, with your ruler feisty Mars in your eighth house until November 4.) You are at a point of great freedom, Aries, where you walk forward unencumbered.
You’re also being supported by the warm Sun and talky Mercury. Particularly as October begins, you may say what is in your heart and it will be listened to. See this time as one huge giant massage for you. All your fears, your pains, your tensions, that unbearable stiffness in your neck and head, will be assuaged. You may feel as if little angels’ hands are caressing your sore muscles! You receive absolute confirmation about how much you are loved by the new Libra Moon on October 21.
And the rest of October it is abundantly clear how things will go ahead. Listen to what the universe is telling you, and act accordingly. You fly forward, with supremely flying colors.
