There is so much movement in the stars this month that it’s no wonder your head is spinning. Hidden information about money, women, property and items of value gets revealed in a shocking and unsettling way around the 9-12th. Then on Oct 12th Mercury turns Retrograde in Scorpio creating even more shockwaves in the Mortgage industry and in the markets. All issues related to money are under examination this month, which spells major change. Everyone needs to read Taurus. Remember when I started talking about this well over a year ago?

There are crises and there is conflict that continues from last month. The aspects through this fall are extremely challenging and destructive to many old, established systems. The hard questions and the hard problems face us impatiently. When there are no easy answers this results in pain and heartbreak in the world. The world faces such a time of reckoning now. Many people will be affected; those who will have the hardest time in these times are people who are not taking responsibility for themselves and their own well being. We are each being asked at this time to be responsible for our own needs – physically and spiritually – and not count on the company, the government, or even the health care system, the spiritual leader or financial advisor to have our best interests in mind. We must educate ourselves, and take actions for ourselves.

Not all of October is horrible, but there are some very tough times here. And there are always people who succeed and prosper no matter how challenging their surroundings and circumstances. The difference is usually in an attitude, and preparedness. The good news is that in November we get some truly great and rare Astrological blessings – allowing us to recover and find hope and an inner light after the challenges of September and October.

aries - Your ruler Mars is tiptoeing along in his shadow in Gemini. Be very careful since this lays the groundwork for events well into April of 08. Whatever you begin now, make sure it is all laid out carefully on paper, with very clear legalities and no hidden agendas. You need to take every precaution possible to insure yourself from deceit and getting the rug pulled out from under you. Don’t believe for a minute that other people are as honest as you are.

taurus - In the Internet world there is a term called ‘The Google Slap’ that countless online business people have suffered. This month there might be an equivalent Taurus slap. What is being called for from the stars now is an evaluation and rebalancing of personal values - as well as actual bank accounts and paychecks. My only question is: are you giving or getting the ’slap’?

gemini - You seem to be able to cast the illusion that you can juggle fire, balance plates on a stick and dance on the head of a pin all at the same time. Maybe you missed your calling as a circus showman. This act is truly mesmerizing. I wonder who you are going through all this effort for and what you are getting out of it. All great showbiz tactics aside, isn’t it easier just to ask for what you want.

cancer - An emotional new beginning is slated to begin for you this month around the 11th. Is it love? a New Home? a pet, a new child or grandchild? New beginnings are usually messy and non-linear, so try not to judge the process and just enjoy the new life that is being released into your world now. At the end of the month you may need to let go of an outmoded friendship or social circle.

leo - I can feel that palpable sense of relief that Saturn’s move out of your front yard is giving you. Finally you feel free to move about your own life again. Just breathe for a moment and take it in, ahhh freedom. Meanwhile the overhaul that your finances and business structures are undergoing may be causing you to some stress; remember financial changes merely serve to put us into deeper contact with our true values.

virgo - Venus makes a major revelation around the 12th - one which might completely change your personal image. The message now is to take a close look at the difference between personality and character. Personality is merely a mask, but character is who you truly are. Any cracks in the mask serve to help you to reveal a deeper layer of your true character. It’s time to shed an old skin.

libra - A truth so profound and deep that you aren’t even consciously aware of it is making itself felt in your subconscious mind. Be extra careful with your valued assets and don’t trust just anyone since you are vulnerable to trickery now, even from yourself. This would be an excellent time to take up meditation or hypnotherapy work - which could save you endless frustrations in the long run. You need a clear outside mirror to show you the things beyond your scope of vision.

scorpio - Forget your mind. In fact, put it in a box and hide it somewhere that it can’t bother you. Otherwise Mercury’s retrograde motion will taunt you with unruly, restless taunting and teasing. It’s like having a monkey screeching and swinging from your earlobe. Honestly, who can get anything done with that racket going on? No matter what he’s yelling or how loudly he’s yelling it you cannot trust it! Master the monkey mind now, and he becomes your servant for life.

sagittarius - Your career and public standing is undergoing a major case of “Time to get on with it.” Weather this brings rewards or hard work depends on weather you’ve been working hard for the past few years or messing around. The effort will be rewarded, and the messing around, well it becomes very clear now that this must come to an end.

capricorn - Something happens mid-month that puts you in control of either: the money, the art, the beauty or some other asset of value. You may feel the desire to control that which is out of your reach, or you may be given a duty that you are not sure how to handle. One way or the other you must reconcile what it means to handle this responsibility. I know you will make the right decision.

aquarius - You are re-evaluating your career based on new information for the next few weeks. And at the same time facts figures and details that you don’t like emerge in connection to your shared assets and group holdings. They do say that the numbers don’t lie. All in all, this causes a deep review and evaluation of your partnerships and ways of doing business. After this review you will emerge as a brand new you.

pisces - People you are in partnership with seem to be carrying a huge weight now. Make sure that you are not contributing to that weight because whatever they can’t carry must get dropped like a bad habit. The most compassionate thing you can do now is work extra hard to pick up the slack and make a major contribution to their well being
