You are in an essentially good place right now, Scorpio, with your mentality fixed on the future as you explore your inner depths. A difficult time has its great advantages in terms of lessons learned. You are coming into yourself in a new way, and you might find that you will never be quite the same as when you started. There is progress to be found with your endeavors, but it is progress of a rare and different kind. The key to all your researches is greater awareness of the power of your inner world to guide your process. You are searching for applied madness, a way to ground your wildest fantasies of creativity and of service into a functional beauty of practicality that can more fully be shared with others around you.
As the month begins, you are feeling energized, but in a quietly internal way. Your ruler, Mars, conjuncts the Moon's North Node in your identity sector, thus prompting you to powerful action in your highest self-interest, but Saturn simultaneously haunts your sign, preparing for his entrance there on the 5th, and this chart factor can be somewhat isolating. Meanwhile, inspiration continues to pour in and spark ideas for where you are heading with your life, along with a clear mandate for a changed worldview that comes to you perhaps most intensely through connection with family and peers.
Neptune in your sector of self-expression is also highlighted now, indicating that your fantasy life is active, so that your dreams might be very helpful in showing you the way forward, but you may find that you are spinning your wheels as you attempt direct action, rather than being able to fully engage the gears. You are being pulled along by a powerful current of energy that takes you toward inner rather than outer work. This could also be a confusing time, the more so, the more you try to fight for a pre-determined outcome. As this first week of the month unfolds, the potential conflict between your ideals and the reality that they must contend with in order that they thrive becomes even more pronounced.
This is a cosmic weather pattern that seems challenging, but that once you tune into, provides rich rewards in terms of your continuing growth as a human being. It is an excellent period for meditation and for spiritual practice of all kinds, and you benefit by being able to journal or to otherwise communicate your dreams and schemes to your future self or to trusted others.
The resources that you need to achieve these soul-oriented and more internally motivated goals, while limited, are yet still definitely available to you at this time, perhaps through the agency of important partners. These significant others are taking a greater role lately in helping you to make necessary changes and to pursue a qualitatively different future for yourself going forward. In the end it is all up to you but right now it really pays to be as alert as possible for the messages that come to you in any and all possible ways including making yourself as available as you can to the messages that arise spontaneously out of the creative depths of your inner world.
Detailed Monthly Forecast
With the Last Quarter Moon of Monday, October 8th, you enter into a meditative time period, when you are reassessing everything that has come before. Your values are on the line, and what do you truly hold dear. There are fantasies of creativity and involvement that come to you now, plus the hard-nosed reality that offsets these bright visions. These are all coming together into what is hoped to be a strengthened amalgam that partakes of the best of both the idealistic and the practical aspects of your approach.
With the New Moon of Monday, October 15th, you have more energy to work with, certainly, and also more ideas, which come popping up out of nowhere so that it is hard to even keep up. There are shadows of difficult realizations that might make their appearance as well, and these are important to pay close attention to. There could also be the pain of past trauma buried away inside you that the revelations of this current time frame bring to light.
With the First Quarter Moon of Sunday evening, October 21st, and the day following, you are getting into some of the more difficult places. There is tension in the air for you now, and the recognition of where you must draw the line and give up on further possibilities. Home and family concerns have been an important factor over this month and now become even more so. You are essentially maneuvering your mental constructs to take into account the vast and yeasty content of your inner world, not an easy task, as mental powers, while important, are not well-suited to these more flowing shadowy realities. Realistically, however, this is exactly where you need to go.
The Full Moon of Monday, October 29th, is powerful indeed, and takes you further out and yet further in, since your most important truth is actually deep down inside you. Partners come into the picture now in a mystical way and aid you in your investigations. You are recognizing that you are on a journey of discovery, and the subject has as much to do with own inner world as with anything more obvious.
