OCTOBER 2020 PREDICTIONS 2 Full moons, endings & beginnings, major transitional shifts!

We need to exercise caution & proceed carefully.  “As Mars continues his retrograde motion from the back end of Aries, he makes a very tense square aspect to first Saturn and then Pluto.  This could seem incredibly frustrating as we feel the need to do something, but at the same time feel held back.”  We may feel compelled to act, but are limited by some authority.  We may need to proceed cautiously in our work lives.  Being patient, focused & diligent may help us mindfully navigate this transit with more positivity, as it pushes us to “confront internal limitations and break free of them”.  We may find ourselves feeling angry & irritated as we confront our inner fears & suppressed desires.  We may struggle with the frustrations of wanting to keep hold of what feels comfortable while seeking growth & fulfillment elsewhere.  Don’t make rash decisions or take rash actions you may later regret.  The inner work of sorting what we want & what’s holding us back is in order.  This powerful transit tapping into our unconscious issues and repressed anger is likely to draw us into conflicts, power struggles & rash outbursts.  To truly seek what is being revealed to us can lead to more creative change and transformation, which Mars square Pluto urges, and “deep & powerful insights” can help us get there.  Aries, Libra & Capricorn are most likely to experience dramas.  Leo, Scorpio, Cancer and Sagittarius may be sorely tested.  “We have Mars in Aries opposite the Sun, in Libra, and Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn form the tense square to the Sun and Mars.”  October is a “time of action and pushing forward with ambitions”.  A new moon on Oct 16th is very favorable for beginnings & “new directions, but none of this is likely to happen without some form of tension and a great deal of effort.  We need to focus and be determined and prepared to endure a little pain in order to get what we want.”   Steady, consistent effort, while focusing on our goals, “but allowing fate to step in and direct things when necessary” is the call of this month.  “Mercury turns retrograde on Oct 14th in the sign of Scorpio and retrogrades back to Libra on Oct 28th.”  Mercury retrograde bids us to “go back & sort things out”, as Saturn bids us to “give serious thought to something in our lives”.  We are compelled to “slow down”, sort things out, fix what’s broken.  “Hidden or lost objects might come to light, as might other hidden things, such as secrets, feelings, closet behaviors, thoughts, desires, compulsions, and anything else we have stuffed down or buried too long.  Many of us might find ourselves dealing with relationship issues, particularly around intimacy, jealousy, intrigues, and sexual matters, and this could lead to relationships either deepening or ending.”  October reminds us that we are really only in “control of our own responses to whatever happens”, and though “October offers us much potential for change, those changes might not be what we had in mind, and they might occur with more difficulty than we’d anticipated”.  We have lots to work through!

October 2020 has two full moons, those energies “setting the stage for profound opportunities of death and rebirth, endings and beginnings, and major transformational shifts.”  We have all made choices, mindfully or not, and our choices are coming back for us to reevaluate.   “On Oct 1, 2020, at 1:06 pm (PST) , the full moon in Aries conjuncts Chiron in Aries, and square Hades and Kronos in Cancer, and opposes the Sun in Libra.  This signals a time of actions and choices coming home to roost, the ego debt of karmic choices coming due, and a great potential for healing transformation of soul wounds that were eons old.  The post-traumatic stress of lifetimes, generations, and timelines of choices made or not made (consciously or unconsciously) are percolating to the surface.  Everyone has his or her portion to clean up, process and transmute.  This full moon in Aries is a perfect opportunity to seek new ways for cleansing, clearing and letting go of ‘old shit’ (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual)  — be it familial, personal, political, economic or religious — in order to clarify for self any personal hidden agendas, biases, or projections to avoid the so-called shit hitting the fan and blowing back onto the self.   Mercury in Scorpio, opposite Uranus retrograde in Taurus, signals that long-buried secrets, hidden or cloistered away from self & others will consistently percolate to the surface to bring about true change rather than good intentions with no genuine substance.  Using caution is wise all of October 2020, as anything out of alignment with cosmic truth, or incongruent with actual soul-heart, intentions and personal will, will expose the truth.”  Written or spoken, these words can come back to bite us.  “From Oct 14th – Nov 3, Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, with Mars retrograde in Aries and Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all retrograde in Taurus, Pisces & Capricorn.  This alignment signals that anything and everything is coming undone to shift the planet and the human kingdom into a new direction that is aligned with light, love and caring for all beings.  Follow your heart , that inner truth-center, and you will find yourself in the right place at the right time connecting with the right people, remaining safe & true to your soul-hearts journey.   The portal opening between dimensions, timelines, and spheres is huge throughout October 2020, and well into 2021 and 2022.  The Age of Pisces is dying, and with it comes the birth of the Age of Aquarius, bringing Earth into gradual, harmonious alignment with the Age of Aquarius’ vibrational energies of harmony, love and abundance.  The dissolution of the old Earth begins at the same time as the rebuilding of the new Earth.  This is cosmic timing, and angelic beings are here to lend a hand and ease the shifts for members of the human kingdom.  The Scorpio cosmic equinox this year is on Oct 29th, just prior to the full moon in Taurus, on 10/31 at 6:48 am, conjunct Uranus opposing the Sun in Scorpio, where resistance to connection, cooperation, and collaboration abounds, the other kingdoms will facilitate the active clearing of this resistance, potentially bringing about unusual situations in the weather, earth changes, and chemically, with mixtures affecting water, earth, and air that affect the food chain worldwide.  Source food locally as much as possible or grow your own.  October 31, 2020, is a cosmic-portal opportunity for realignment with individual and collective soul-heart destinies, and there is great expansion possible in many powerful ways, manifesting in 3D form.”   We are equipped to “download tremendous ancient knowledge, wisdom and truth for future sharing and transformation”.   (We are transforming karmic ego-debt from the evils of slavery, the Civil War, and all that’s followed!)   We have much to transform!   Hail October!
