3 Zodiacs That Will Suffer Through Tough Times This October
Astrology reminds us that life occurs in cycles, and each cycle will have its peaks and troughs, its highs and lows.
Given the way the cosmos are lining up this October, three zodiac signs might experience a bit of a rough patch. The Full Moon in Aries on October 6, followed by the New Moon in Libra on October 21, puts both the spotlight and pressure on the Cardinal signs as they’re experiencing shifts and changes in their angular or more prominent houses.
Coupled with the major transits like Pluto’s direct station in Aquarius on October 13 or retrograde Neptune’s move back into Pisces on October 22— Aries, Cancer and Capricorn will experience some turbulence in their lives this month. As they go through it, they must remember that pressure creates diamonds and they are being set up for future success.
Aries
You’ll uncover some deeper truths this October, and as they come to light it might not be so pretty. However, it’s better to know than be in that dark or live in blissful ignorance. What you uncover about yourself or someone else might change your vision of the future. Where you thought you were heading and what you thought was the ideal appears not to be so. Take some time around the Full Moon in your sign on October 6 for some personal reflection, this can be an empowering move that will help you navigate the rest of the month. Except some disillusionment or dissolving by the time Scorpio season arrives on October 22. On the same day retrograde Neptune moves out of your sign and back into Pisces. Some deep and thorough self-undoing begins. As much as you need to release, remember that this is still a process of becoming the ideal version of yourself. Feelings of sadness and grief for what has to go are normal. Be sure to properly mourn your old life or outdated identities before moving on completely. The only way out is through.
Cancer
This October it may feel like you’re being pulled in two different directions. The start of the month can be especially tumultuous as home, family and career all need your clear and upfront attention. This intensity is likely to peak around the Full Moon in Aries on October 6. To take the pressure off practice more delegation on all fronts. You are an excellent caretaker but remember, you don’t have to take on all of it. Doing so keeps you a martyr and that eventually fades into a victim mentality. This month will get you to reflect on your narrative and viewpoints. It may indeed be time to change the tune or story— is anything ever as truly bad as you think it’s going to be? Maybe it’s time to start telling yourself it’s all going to work out. Subconscious fears have more of a grip than you know on your behaviour. You could become a little more aware of this as Pluto emerges from retrograde on October 13. Consciously confronting your shadow side allows you to transmute these fears into something powerful. A fresh start arrives with the balanced New Moon in Libra on October 21. Things stabilize both at home and emotionally, but something still has to come to light. While you continue your journey to figure it all out, the energy eases up once Scorpio season arrives on the following day. The current pressure is getting you to find joy and happiness where you can, so surround yourself with it come the end of October and everything will be just fine.
Capricorn
Finances may be making you sweat a bit. You’re feeling the pressure from all ends of your life. A big expense or event at home around the Full Moon in Aries on October 6 might take up too much of your time, resources and energy. Instead of getting caught up in frustration over the timing you’ll just have to suck it up and grind through it— It’s what you’re built for. At the end of the stretch be sure to take a rest. Around October 13 both Venus and Pluto set you up for success, but only if you value yourself enough recoup and refresh. The cosmic energies are reminding you that your worth does not stem from productivity and the more you push back on that, the harder it will become. If you do take the time out for some rest and relaxation, the rest of October looks pretty favorable in terms of professional and financial advancement. Around the New Moon in Libra on October 21 you could be entering an upgraded agreement, contract or business partnership that has big potential. As you’re ready to chase your dreams again come Scorpio season, just be mindful of communication. Your mind is a bit aloof thanks to Neptune, while this is amazing for inspiration it’s not so great for nitty gritty details. Double or triple check important work, messages or pitches. Get a second set of eyes if you can. As long as you’re being extra thorough, it all works out.
