You may look back on this October and see it as a month where you began serious reconsiderations about emotional investments you place on certain friendships and the kind of fun you used to have together. This does not have to be a “bad” thing! In fact, it could be just what you need to go deeper and truer with those you’re finding really matter to you. Maybe even dip back into some childhood pleasures you’ve forgotten!
Someone with a lot of say in your world will want to talk — and take action — to change some direction in your life. Is it as serious as setting up boundaries about using other people’s money (mum’s credit card?) or as sentimental as beautifying your bedroom with photos of folks you both love most? These Important People could be a parent, a close friend, an intimate mate, or a partner (if you’re older) who’s taken a serious turn in life this past year.
The skies suggest these others are working to help mature you, even if they don’t know it! Your Sun sign is the sign that reflects the emotions of others. In your relationships with others these past few years can you look back and see times where your own massive changes were reflected in a close friend who was experiencing upheaval? They act and you react? Even if they’re the “strong silent type” you’ve felt the little earthquakes, leaving your emotions shaken and reshaped.
October brings a couple of quakes. Change is okay, even if you didn’t initiate it! If you’re chasing love or assurance, wait. The skies say for a few weeks it’s far more valuable to spend time on your own heart. Bring your tender side inside and out of the tempests. Instead dip deep into your own well of feeling. Write, draw, compose! The clearer you are in your own heart, the clearer you’ll be able to see (and understand) the feelings of others. When the Full Moon arrives on the 24th, note what you want more (and less!) of with friends.
