OCTOBER 2006 by Bob Mulligan

October is the month where we make peace with our situation and then go forward into a period of clarification and bonding. It is the time where we figure out how we get along with others; how much of ourselves will be involved with our community. There is a struggle, then clarification over personal boundaries. This year the shift is very abrupt and deep. We will be living out extremes in emotions and in decisions.

The Full Moon is on Friday, October 6th at 11:13PM EDT. This is a time of giving and reaching a profound depth of feelings for others. If you are able to translate this emotion into universal goodwill for the planet, you become energetically part of the solution. Otherwise, you will fall into the legions of energetic takers who are wrecking the social order through overindulgence.

The New Moon is Sunday morning October 22nd at 1:15AM EDT; we head into the lunar month with so much imbalance that it is quite difficult to do anything in moderation. Be extreme about the right things and you will feel validated and exhilarated.

On the 23rd of October we have the Sun switching from Libra to Scorpio. This happens every year signaling a time of moving from fellowship and romance to taking care of personal business. This year however, the demarcation is extremely pronounced because we have so many planets in Scorpio (six counting the Moon) from the 23rd on through the rest of the month. There will be lots of grappling for power by governments and corporations during this time. Watch this period in your own life and avoid reacting to circumstances so quickly that you lack balance.

October 1st to the 8th, There is an assertive quality for sure right now but generally people are accommodating and this can be a very peaceful week. There is a strong spiritual lift to every project provided we keep the focus on what is really needed in the long run in order to be happy.

October 9th to the 15th, Keep your feet on the ground and plan for the long haul. Be patient and enjoy the general goodwill that the world around you is offering. There is some tension between your need to relate and your security urge. The necessary compromises are easy if you are capable of following through on your commitments.

October 16th to the 22nd, The end is very near for much of what has passed as normal before. We take sudden corrective steps to live in a new world. This is a great time to make adjustments and to complete paperwork. Talk straight to people around you; express your true feelings in regards to your relationships.

October 23rd to the 31st, A somber tone sets in as we all focus more on our personal moods and concerns. The clear, lighthearted detachment from earlier evaporates as we give our inner thoughts and feelings true ventilation. Now is a great time for introspection and renewed self appraisal.

1st, Sunday, Venus Sesquiquadrate Neptune. Ideas spark. There can be quick resolution of some long standing difficulties by finding a new, unique strategy.

2nd, Monday. We need love and companionship. Seek comfort in the realm of ideas.

3rd, Tuesday, Venus Semi square Jupiter. Too much of a good thing is just enough when you are with the right partner. Indulging our feelings to go overboard can leave us feeling deflated afterwards.

4th, Wednesday, Mars Trine Neptune, Sun Quincunx Uranus. We have a mission today. It is a great time to get real enthusiasm for the things that we want most.

5th, Thursday, Venus Semi square Saturn, Mercury Contra parallel Saturn. Feelings of not being appreciated can make us become rigid. Be disciplined and very focused on what needs to be done and much can be accomplished.

6th, Friday. The Full Moon at 11:13 PM EDT. This is the time to let your highest ideals manifest and to let your mind be dominated with thoughts of kindness for others.

7th, Saturday, Mercury Parallel Neptune, Mercury Parallel Pluto. We strive hard to put the real energy into our ideas and to make our dreams come true.

8th, Sunday, Mars Semi sextile Jupiter. Make sure you are aiming at the right goal before you put forth a great deal of effort.

9th, Monday, Mercury Semi square Pluto, Venus Quincunx Uranus, Mercury Parallel Jupiter. Sudden loss is necessary in order to see new possibilities. This is a time of rapid development. Keep looking for opportunity. It is really present; have faith and courage and you will change your life.

10th, Tuesday, Sun Trine Neptune, Mercury Trine Uranus. Our ideals soar and inventive solutions emerge, allowing resolution to long standing problems.

11th, Wednesday, Mars Parallel Uranus. Unconscious urges push us as circumstances around us seem to demand us to change.

12th, Thursday, Mars Sextile Saturn. Take time to analyze and organize your behavior and responses. Make sure that other people really know what you are attempting to do.

13th, Friday, Sun Parallel Uranus, Venus Trine Neptune. This is a party night. The promise of personal fulfillment is powerful and the urge to create beauty and harmony needs some form of expression.

14th, Saturday, Sun Semi sextile Jupiter. We can feel great if we spend time helping others with their various tasks. Sometimes putting personal energy into other peoples projects is the path to happiness.

15th, Sunday, Mars Sextile Pluto, Mercury Square Neptune. All dressed up and no place to go? Be willing to follow a new path now. More adventure comes into your life if you are willing to sit loose in the saddle.

16th, Monday, Sun Sextile Saturn. Take care of business first and everything else will fall into place. This is a very fortunate day but it requires calm and focus in order to see the opportunities.

17th, Tuesday, Venus Semi sextile Jupiter, Sun Sextile Pluto, Mars Sesquiquadrate Uranus. Underlying tension gives this day an edginess that is difficult to channel. Stay on task; freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.

18th, Wednesday, Venus Sextile Saturn. Clarity, boundaries, and goodwill allow us to fashion long term plans and commitments. We have the underpinnings of solid, reliable partnerships.

19th, Thursday, Venus Parallel Uranus. Our desire for new experiences seem prompted by surrounding circumstances. Either have freedom and uniqueness expressed with your close ones, or avoid much contact. Something new demands expression now.

20th, Friday. A desire to connect is very powerful and we have a wish for romance. There is a certain amount of winding things up in order to start into a new phase of life.

21st, Saturday, Venus Sesquiquadrate Uranus. Even though the excitement in the air encourages us to be adventuresome, we are happiest if we contain our efforts channeled in a methodical manner. We can experience real beauty by focusing on the ordinary.

22nd, Sunday, New Moon at 1:15AM EDT, Mercury Conjunct Jupiter. The promise of better circumstances can be fulfilled immediately if you have faith and courage. Do not be afraid to act.

23rd, Monday, Sun Conjunct Mars, Mercury Square Saturn, Sun enters Scorpio, Mars enters Scorpio. We end one thing and then start another. Our emotions are revving up to start in new directions. Emotions deepen.

24th, Tuesday, Venus enters Scorpio. We are drawn toward new people or toward old acquaintances in a new way. Avoid ultimatums and arguments; this can be a romantic yet testy day.

25th, Wednesday, Venus Conjunct Mars, Jupiter Square Saturn. Emotions are strong and quite pointed. Make adjustments for the essential factors in every negotiation and do not be afraid to ask for what you really want.

26th, Thursday, Mercury Semi sextile Pluto. Big changes all day eventually settle down. Take time to enjoy what is going on around you.

27th, Friday, Sun Conjunct Venus, Venus Parallel Mars. A feeling of excitement, romance, and adventure colors this day. Even though others may seem very intense, this is a very benign time.

28th, Saturday, Mercury turns Retrograde, Neptune turns Direct. Before you react to anything ask yourself if it matters. This is a wonderful time to re-evaluate. Everything is on the table; have the courage to change.

29th, Sunday, Daylight Savings Time ends in the USA. Minor adjustments for changing circumstances allow us to fine tune our program for the fall.

30th, Monday, Mercury Semi sextile Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Jupiter. We can manifest our higher ideals and values now. Be willing to be the person you admire most.

31st, Tuesday. Dark recesses of our own thinking emerge, cleansing is necessary and possible. Finding peace and self acceptance in the ongoing stream of events stimulates personal evolution.
