October

Pregnancy, Children, Young Adults, Youth Projects and Sexual Relationships in October
Bacchus, Mercury, Venus Retrograde, the Sun and Jupiter in Scorpio create a traffic jam in your horoscope in October, Cancer, so the time has come to use all that you are being offered, to get yourself into the best possible position. This may be about your godchildren or stepchildren. The adoption process, or fostering. Perhaps you have paid or unpaid work involving children or young people. Sexual relationships which can result in unplanned pregnancy are also part of this cycle. It really depends on your personal life, of course, and your unique situation – but October is about recognising that you have ‘heirs’ to your throne and you have strong choices ahead, about leaving the legacy of your personality to younger faces. Guiding, mentoring and leading younger people is one way of using these astrological patterns. Yet, Cancer, as Mercury, the planet of communication, information and negotiation starts moving retrograde shadow, near Monday 29th October – you need to do as much as you can to finalise your plans before this date. As you are ruled by the Moon, the Full Moon on Wednesday 24th October is likely to feel like a real crossroads when there is no perfect pathway –  just a choice! Yet, you simply won’t have Jupiter with all his solutions, hope, abundance and rich possibilities in this area of your horoscope again. Not for another 12 years in fact, which is why time is of the essence. If you want to see your child, young relative or godchild into a particular school situation, for example, you will want to do it as rapidly as possible. Cancer, if your concern is primarily with a sexual relationship, it may not be until December that you know where you stand with a certain someone. This is even more likely if you can date this episode back to September. The reason for this is Venus Retrograde. She is a symbol of complicated relationships and nothing is clear-cut at the moment, as this planet appears to be moving backwards (and getting stuck!) If a specific deadline would make you feel better, just count on the fact that you’ll get the full, final, fixed and firm story in a couple of months.

Friends and Groups
Uranus brings surprises (to put it mildly), disruption and radical change in your social life, group commitments, friendships and networks in 2018, Cancer. You’ll feel this cycle most intensely near October 6th, 10th and the Full Moon near Wednesday 24th October begins a memorable week, ending with an electrifying Halloween on 31st October, which is the date for a Venus-Uranus opposition. As this is the planetary cycle which brings freedom (from) and freedom (through) it seems likely that one of your friends will be the trigger for changes. It may be that you need to be liberated from this person. It is also true that sometimes particular friends are the passport to freedom for you. Cancer, it depends on how you have handled your life since May, when this cycle began. If you are open to change and realise that you need more excitement and oxygen in your life, then it makes sense to embrace particular group, team, club or similar circles – and within them, specific friends. If, however, you have been hidebound by social media (like Facebook), or even chained to a community of people which does not allow you room to move – October may bring a classic Uranus lightning bolt. The zap factor is one way of describing it. The trick with this cycle is to keep moving. Realise this is a brand new way of life, and all bets are off. What you used to think and do, may not be that relevant when things change so fast, and this cycle is associated with a racing revolution – the wheels turn quickly.
