October 2017 PREDICTIONS

A full moon in Aries on Oct 5th is squared by Pluto, which urges us to release those things whose time for elimination has come.  On Oct 12th Jupiter leaves Libra, where it has spent the last year, and enters Scorpio; this is followed by a new moon in Libra on Oct 19th.  The new moon is opposed by Uranus, which “increases the sense of new beginnings”, and helps us to welcome changes.  Jupiter in Scorpio highlights the mystical in our lives: birth, death, the afterlife and sexual or psychological issues.  A “higher death rate” at this time opens up space “for all the new souls coming into existence”.  Jupiter in Scorpio “demands change and transformation”; it helps us to let go, to open to what needs to be born, to trust and accept what is.  Many will find themselves experiencing good fortune, benevolent opportunities, growth and protection, but sometimes the blessings we receive don’t come as we think we would like them.  We tend to resist change, and sometimes our blessings come in disguise, and we only recognize them in hindsight.  Oftentimes, there are some areas of our lives that “are ripe for growth”, and it would benefit us to practice mindfulness, to release what needs to fall by the wayside and to embrace the changes with grace and anticipation for the next chapter and new blessings.  “The month ends with a glorious conjunction of Jupiter and the Sun”, which especially affects Scorpios, but we can all tap into the big blessings of these planetary influences with gratitude and positivity.  So, let us “say “Yes .. to Life”, putting our “heart and soul into” what has meaning for us and look forward to “rich rewards”.
