Cancer Horoscope for October 2013

This is a vitally interesting October for you, Cancer. You are continuing to transform at the very core of your being, and it involves a thoroughgoing reconstruction of the way that you do interpersonal relationships without sacrificing your own self-expression and self-determination. When you look at it in a different way, what seems on first analysis to limit you can become a driving strength. In the midst of rapid change, you have perhaps been struggling to define yourself in a way that makes sense to you. This quest is accentuated in the later part of the month, when Mercury begins retrograding through your self-expression sector. You are in some important ways rethinking your creative output. A way of seeing the world around you in more compassionate terms might provide further keys to what you are trying to accomplish.

As the month begins, you are in a meditative mode of reassessment and inner research, following upon the interesting Last Quarter Moon of September 26th when the Moon in your sign brought you out socially, while simultaneously the Sun residing in your home and family sector by contrast took you farther and deeper toward the exploration of your inner world. The prominence at that time of Neptune in your sector of higher mind represents a similar symbolism of inner over outer, fantasy over reality. This presents you with another conundrum since the reality orientation of Saturn is also plentiful for you this month in your solar chart. You are therefore entertaining feelings of greater responsibility to convention, and to others in your life, while at the same time being drawn in accordance with these more subtle inner requirements to the important act of determining the proper overall path to tread.

Uranus forms a strong component of this picture as well. With his trickster energy of sporadic fits and starts located in your career sector, the implication is that all outer world considerations are in huge flux for you right now. Since Uranus combines strongly with Pluto, residing in your relationship sector, this also involves the discovery of novel concepts of how partnership actually operates in your life, and how your relationships can contribute to your outer world pursuits. Their forming square is becoming quite close now, implying that both relationship and also the way that you show up in the world in general partake at this time of revolution that is actually spiritual evolution.

Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is also powerfully configured for your solar chart in this month's lunations. You are likely to come to realizations about where you have been wounded in the past, and how you can use the present moment to help mend these tears in your psychic fabric. Although nothing that has taken place in prior years can be changed, attitude can yet make a world of difference in the way that you relate to your inner world, and in the way you hold the memory of these difficult and traumatic events.

With Saturn, ruler of your relationship sector, in the picture now as well, and is located in your sector of creative self-expression. As Saturn is being conjoined by a retrograding Mercury in the latter part of the month, you might well feel that you are reconsidering everything of importance in your life as the month transitions into November and then the holiday season. This will be a season of sharing that will turn out to include not only gifts, but your deepest self-examination along the lines of home, family and relationship dynamics.
