Leo Horoscope for October 2012

You find yourself at a unique crossroads, Leo. The times are ripe for change, as is becoming more and more apparent, perhaps to the point of desperation. You need a way to get over but the best and perhaps the only pathway that you can utilize is down and through. Philosophically grand gestures take you to surprising places that you never expected, while your ordinary world is suffused with light and filled with transformative energy. Your emotional depths speak important truths. What seems like limitation turns into something far richer and yet again more strange. These trials provide important lessons of great depth as you ride the wave of your future to an illogical conclusion. Home and family issues could open you up to a larger picture viewpoint once you make the necessary adjustments.

As the month begins, you are seeking for a larger truth within yourself, and fervently communicating your sense of that truth to others around you, following along the lines of energy reflected in the recent Aries Full Moon that linked your Higher Mind sector to your sector of communicative outreach. There are deep-seated changes taking place within you regarding where to put your life force on the line as you create your next phase, and how you see your future unfolding quite differently than you did a mere few months prior. This dramatic shift in your priorities is sparked by new vision that has perhaps become even more poignant for you in the days leading up to the present month.

In making your transition to a new and different mandate, going forward, one all-important element is represented by the concreteness factor symbolized by Saturn entering your fourth sector of home, family and tribe. This event takes place over the first week of the month, and signifies that you could encounter limitations regarding home, family or your extended tribe.

There will likely be a strong focus on this area of your life – such as, on the physical level with reference to home purchase or remodeling, or on the psychological level with getting clearer regarding the deepest parts of yourself that do not normally make themselves known at the surface layers of your personality.

You are potentially striving for a better sense of psychological security that comes from knowing yourself, thoroughly, at these deeper levels. In this you are aided by Neptune sitting in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, which fosters your ongoing journey into the largely unknown spaces that lie within you. There can be a downside in terms of confusion regarding intimate relationship, who takes and who receives.

A good touchstone is to remember that your primary goal now is your own growth, and your own relationship with walled-off parts of yourself. Everything else, even your activities with significant partners, comes after, and indeed will benefit from the attention you place on yourself in this sensitive region of your psyche.

As you navigate the tricky currents of this month's transiting planetary energies, it helps to be as aware as possible to what is going on inside you, for it is there that you will find the answers to the only real questions.

Detailed Monthly Forecast

With the Last Quarter Moon of Monday, October 8th, you are questioning your course by means of a process of deep reflection that takes you back over the events of the three weeks prior to this lunar phase. You are strongly energized for this work of reconstruction, but you must also beware of making up a story to yourself that is based on fantasy rather than the realities of your situation. Discernment is required in order that you effectively sort things out, and for this you can trust you gut instinct better than you can your mental process, since your mind can fool you.

At the time of the New Moon a week later on, taking place on Monday, October 15th, in your communications sector, you are in possession of renewed energy for your process of investigation and understanding. You are making a stand for yourself, and for your own unique vision, independent of other voices or the conditioned responses based on consensus thinking. Painful realizations that come up for you now are difficult to accommodate but can also be seen as an important part of your progress toward growth and integration. Over this year you are building for yourself a new direction for your life to follow, not an easy assignment.

The First Quarter Moon of Sunday evening, October 21st, and the next day, brings up a degree of tension in your process, and perhaps a series of tests causing you to question whether you are actually on the right track. You are very invested in issues of home and family at this time and your focus there is actually a grounding influence that can enable you to better integrate your high ideals with practical concerns. You are involved with piercing the illusion to get at the true situation.

The Full Moon of Monday, October 29th, represents another intense juncture, when your insights deepen and when you could be once again confronted with the need to transform your approach in response. You could be challenged now by internal confrontations that could spill over into disputes with others. It might be helpful to recognize the extent that your own issues play into these seeming conflicts. All through this month you are challenged to see more deeply into what is happening around and through you, and to pay close attention to your internal states for the ultimate answers.
