OCTOBER 2021 Horoscope
Me, Them, & Us.
The Mercury Retrograde fall review period assesses how we get along with others. Questions of integrity, fairness, justice, and reciprocity permeate our personal lives and political atmosphere. We may learn about these values through the opposition of falsehoods, manipulation, tyranny, and separation. On a personal level, an important relationship may end or hit a speed bump. Ask yourself: “How am I showing up to this interaction? And what outcome would be in the highest good?” Stick to the Golden Rule of treating others the way you expect to be treated. On a national level, the US will review themes of Community, Exclusion, Group Alliances, and Technocracy. Ask ourselves: “What is the true meaning of inclusion vs. segregation?” Remember that together we stand, divided we fall. Keep an eye on protective nationalism, a mass of new restriction mandates, and hidden power moves.
Exacerbated troubles with other nations, falling out of favor with a frenemy; entering or exiting alliances with major world organizations; ‘us versus them’ dismemberment from the group; assessing relationships; questions of justice.
Watch for world changes around 10/6, 10/10, 10/18, and 10/18-21.
October’s star spread…
*Remember: we are in the Mercury Retrograde review period from 9/26-10/18.
9/26-10/18 MERCURY RETROGRADE. The fall review period explores themes of Justice, Fairness, and Relationships. For the United States it may include troubles with other nations, falling out of favor with a frenemy; entering or exiting alliances with major organizations; dismemberment from the social groups for non-conformity; court cases and social justice issues; foreign diplomacy; peace deals (or war talks); exposing double agents and spies; declaring open enemies; gender equanimity; love in the era of social distancing and the internet.
On a personal level, you will work through interpersonal relationships over the next three weeks. Who makes the team and who gets cut? And are you holding up your end of the deal?
10/6 DIGGING DEEP.
Libra New Moon + Pluto Direct signal there may soon during the fall season be a big reveal of secrets or conspiracies that have been lurking since 2020. Pluto unearths secrets and scandals in our country linked to subversive manipulation, financial control, and power players with hidden agendas. Find out who’s guilty between Oct 2021-April 2022. Personally, Pluto Direct empowers you in areas of life where you had been feeling weak or out of control since the springtime. You may notice a waterfall of action in your life this week from Wednesday-Sunday.
10/7-11/4 NATIONALISM.: Venus enters Sagittarius which heightens nationalism (“protect our borders”), travel mandates (new rules for flying and immigration), and heated media news explosions over the next four weeks. Personally it makes you more adventurous, exploratory, fun, and inspired over the next four weeks.
10/7-10 SUDDEN DIRECTIVE. Sun-Mars-Mercury-Saturn Direct combine for quick decisions, we are raring to go!
10/10 SECURITY OR RESTRICTION?
Saturn Direct sizes up the stability and success of the Biden Administration, and may announce new government laws attempting to increase ‘security’ in our nation relative to the economy, health, and border.
Personally, Saturn reassesses security fixtures in your life—are they firm foundations or are they limitations? It can also help unstick you from obligations holding you back. Let go of the bullshit.
10/18-21 FULL STEAM AHEAD.
Jupiter Direct + Mercury Direct add to the building momentum in the sky about rapid decisions suddenly being made. Opportunities and action literally falling out of the sky. Big things decided in the next 3 days.
Personally, you may feel that relationships and situations stuck in limbo since late Sept/early Oct now have clarity, momentum, or resolution. You have until 11/4 to fully into gear (or to apologize for what you did during retrograde!).
10/30-12/13 POWER GRIP. Mars enters Scorpio which signals the increase of government control and possibly ulterior motives from Halloween until the holidays. There may be lots going on behind the scenes that the public doesn’t know about but feels. Personally this makes everyone more intense, penetrating, and power-hungry over the next two months. Excellent energy to go digging for dirt or pull a power move.
