Month Sagittarius October 2013

  Month Sagittarius October 2013

 

Friendships are in high focus this month, dear Sagittarius, but not necessarily easy. In fact, some of you may be severing ties with a friend or group, while others may simply experience tensions. Happily, Venus enters your sign on the 7th, where it will transit for approximately a month. This not only boosts your personal magnetism, it might also bring a new and happy friendship into your life. The 16-18 is especially powerful for your love and social life. Surprises and drama are part of the picture now. You may be bringing something new to your manner or appearance that wins you extra attention. There are few better times to put yourself out there. Around the same time, career and public life begin to bring their demands. You are more ambitious and desirous of recognition for all that you do, after a short hump around the 19th when you wonder if you can manage all that you have on your plate. Saturn and retrograde Mercury in your soul sector this month can point to some serious, thought-provoking moments. This is a time for setting a past error right, or for finally dealing with something that has been causing you to feel guilt. Around the 7-8 and 29th, you may be privy to important information that was previously unavailable to you. The last week of the month especially requires a little more rest and introspection than usual as your yearly solar cycle moves towards a close.  

 

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Eclipse
A Lunar Eclipse Occurs on October 18th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar fifth house. Surprises coming from a romantic partner or child may be part of the picture. Something that has been brewing or "in hiding" comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your house of creativity, romance, pleasure, and children is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a romantic proclamation from a lover, a creative project bearing fruit, a child revealing something significant to you, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From October 7th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likeable now. Take advantage!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from October 21st to November 10th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until October 15th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From October 15th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
