AQUARIUS HOROSCOPE for OCTOBER 2024

AQUARIUS/AQUARIUS ASCENDANT

So you know how Pluto in your 12th/soul sector, for the last 15 years, has been shining a fluorescent light on every personal demon lurking in your unconscious swamp, you’ve had to battle valiantly? Yeah that was fun. Or not!

Of course as much as it’s been a bitch doing the shadow work, facing uncomfortable truths about yourself. Really it’s been a wonderful chance to transmute all of this into the gold of radiant self-awareness, in Jungian terms. Unlocking Aqua shamanic power, for self-determination connected with your real spirituality and creative muse. Yes it’s been a trip, well done you.

So Pluto lurking on the cusp of Aquarius, dithering between your 12th and actually getting real in your sign, since April last year has been quite a tease. Like am I done with the fuqing inner work or what? And when can I unleash my Plutonian self-mastery, charisma and power to transform my life path in the world, already??

Well I’m here to tell you that Pluto in your 12th house turns direct, from Oct 12th. So if any lingering issues reveal themselves, that you are still processing by now? Rather than freaking out about any last minute inner work going on, you embrace it. Because this really is the last blast of Pluto phoenixing out of your 12th. Ready to properly complete his transit here, between now and November 20th. Finally!

Meanwhile, to the extent Pluto triggers your desire, to be true to your soul calling. Perfect timing to begin the month with the New Moon of Oct 3rd, in your expansive 9th house. Extra powerful, being a Solar Eclipse and all.

Conjunct Lilith, Mercury and, South Node and opposite Chiron and the Destiny Point, in your mentally busy 3rd house. So to the degree your genius mind is full of sparkly, brilliant ideas, even more than usual? This Eclipse totally activates your visionary, meaningful sense of purpose in the world. Yes you’re feeling kind of restless & hungry, to explore your full potential this month. Whether travel/hanging out somewhere new to expand your horizons or intellectual growth/study to expand your mind, it's all about getting out of your comfort zone. For the courage to embrace life as a great big adventure-what a buzz!

And Venus in your 10th, brilliant career sector trine Mars in your practical 6th house for this Eclipse. With Jupiter in your 5th/talent & shameless self promotion sector, ready to turn retro by Oct 9th. Your creative confidence is next level, about showing off your brilliance professionally. With the healthy habits, to support the work ethic you need to back your biz schemes right now. The key is walking your talk, to do with whatever you’re on about, of course.

Because just so you know, Mars is about to linger in your 6th house for an unusually long time-until next April. You might want to familiarise yourself with the meaning of personal discipline, consistently affirmative daily routine and generally getting your act together. I mean if not now, when? For the next 5 months is increasingly obvious how energised, motivated and successful you are when genuinely doing the work. Vs how lacklustre and frustrated it feels, if dodging responsibility with lazy or indulgent habits. Know what I mean?

Which of course makes sense, with Pluto charging into your sign from this Feb. You want to be ready to power forward by then, with a full battery of high Qi determination to thrive, right?

Meanwhile the Venus/Mars action mid month, is supposed to be exciting for romance. So if you can make some quality time with your lover, in between all the work/personal growth imperatives, that would be great. Maybe you’re lucky enough to have someone special, to support one another’s progress -celebrate what a great team you are! Or if single, on the prowl Venus into your social sector, from Oct 18th brings your charm up to scratch, to get amongst it on the scene and flirt it up.

Perfect timing for the Full Moon of Oct 17th, in your 3rd house conjunct the healer Chiron. Maybe softening your highly intellectual, staunchly idealistic stance -which some people mistake as being maddeningly aloof. Chiron teases out your ability to listen to your gut instincts, trusting your embodied wisdom sans analysing everything to death? The better to embrace your capacity for emotionally congruent communication, even a bit of sweet vulnerability with certain loved ones. Chances are they would love to know, how you really feel.
