Shuistrology

Your Stars:
The mirror has two faces this month, yours and everyone else looking back at you. This bit of two-faced astro double speak will cause you to carve some serious time for reflection and, at the end of the day (or the month) I’m pretty sure you’ll like what and who you see. With both Mercury and Venus completing their Virgo transit early on, you might even begin to breathe again. In fact, I’m almost positive that somewhere inside all that breathing will be a big, huge sigh of relief. That’s right, everything starts to even out again in October, finally offering some quiet time for you to assimilate all the recent lessons and blessings (in disguise?) that will benefit you for years and years to come. Identity issues are finally falling from the center stage as the spotlight shifts to cooperating with the community at large. And I do realize that this is no small feat. I know that as an Aries you are compelled to try to go it alone but this month your actions have so much influence and impact on others, and vice versa, that it’s time to combine forces so you can rule the world. All the action starts as early as the 4th when the Full Moon focuses bright light on your bright ideas as well as boosting both your initiative and your incentive. Far cry from the last couple of weeks eh? This moon might be enterprising but it can’t hold a candle to the brilliance and boundless amount of that same quality now flowing forth from you. You are obviously and clearly thinking outside the box, but, for once, everyone else wants to climb inside that same space with you. This is not the time to pack it in. But it is your super stellar day of this month and you should be sure to ask for whatever you want. Although this moon also illuminates your 1st House of Self and you’ll want all those others hanging around to recognize your need for independence, you can also embrace the energies that will allow you to honor their perceptions and perspectives as well. This is the full meaning of cooperation. Just don’t forget to do the asking thing now because in a few days time the talking gets a bit tougher. Don’t think your mouth won’t be moving around the 8th and 9th when you’re sure to be chomping at the bit though. Venus opposing Uranus on the latter of those two days makes you eager to keep expressing your desires, but the energies that seemed so supportive a few short days ago seem to have gone on vacation. Don’t worry. Sweet and sensual Venus and her cosmic consort Mars make sweet love during the middle of the month and they are so happy that they invite everyone Aries to get in on this act as well. Watch and wait and you might just find someone special walking into your own life during this love-ly time. This romance appears to have legs too as the stars say that this could not only an enduring new relationship but an earnest and meaningful one too. Ohhh la long lasting! The New Moon that rises on the night of the 18th finds you daydreaming about transformation and magic and mystery. By the time the Sun slides into Scorpio on the 23rd in your 8th House of Intimacy and Others, those fantasies start to take on a very realistic tone as you also uncover a few previously hidden truths that might make you go “A HA!”. You know what they say about the truth setting you free, right? Well, happy independence days Aries! Friendships and other close relationships are at their most satisfying around this same time but co-workers and frenemies manage to malign and make waves on the work front. Forewarned is forearmed. Especially on the 29th when the Sun squaring Mars can cause some flaring, both of the solar and the temper types. Stay away from the fray and try your hardest to see the other person’s point of view. That is the full meaning of compromise. You’d be surprised at how expansive the world becomes when you begin to understand that there are many different ways to look at one particular problem, no matter how complex it seems. And that, Aries, is the lesson of a lifetime that gets crammed into this October month. If hard times or even harder headed people are perplexing you, stand back and take a moment to assess the view. From a panoramic perspective. This new habit of seeing the world through the eyes of others will be positively transformational to and for you. And will allow you spy things you never could have myopically seen before. And Aries, even though you are much more motivated by self expression and self motivation, this month the other eyes have it. Look at more than just one point of view in order to see a whole new you. Then sit back and enjoy the view! Whoppee!

Your Shui:
The stars say that you will spend a great deal of this month reflecting on what’s currently working in your life and which old habits and attitudes could conceivably be cut loose in order to make way for something fabulous and brand spanking new to you. This reflection will allow you a peek into some expansive views that could quickly and effectively transform your entire life. Your mirror has two phases this month, one involved with cooperation and one immersed in non-combative communication. Embrace both critical concepts: cooperation and communication and you’ll sail the high ‘c’s easily and effortlessly straight through to a noticeably nicer November. And just remember that when one door closes, well, you know the rest. But did you also know just how important door knobs are in the world of Feng Shui. Loose handles on doors inside your living space also speak to an inability to actually get a good grip on any situation, but, most especially those that require good communication and, what else, cooperation. Take a walk around your space and check the maintenance of your door handles. Fix the ones that stick or are loose and change the ones that no longer like looking at. This might seem a small ‘fix’ but it will open up tons of opportunities for you. Because, again, where does opportunity come knocking? Riiiiiight!
