October 2013 – ASTROPRO

Tempus Fugit

You may find yourself backing into a bigger hole than expected. You have done an amazing job staying above the political fray but in the meantime another sink hole has opened up. Sometimes you just have to step in it. Politics makes a nervous wreck out of most people because it is usually all over before you know you have been playing. Some higher ups have been dragged in and they are confused and confusing. The situation has taken on a life of its own. Don’t try to be a hero…just be yourself.

Complications can persist if you don’t reveal your true self. You have only one mission and that is to be the best “you” that you can be. Let higher influences be your guide. Don’t compare yourself to others. Most important of all, is to be your own friend.

Leaders are often not the people with the title. Be aware that people who have influence with others are often not “the boss”. Make sure you respect all others as your destiny may depend on it. Be impartial in your judgments.

A new thread is emerging that will give you a new path to follow. You wish to remove yourself from your current environment, at least on some level. Follow your heart and mind.

Titans of Industry

You may be the recipient of some big idea. It just pops into your head and you think about running with it. Only you can be the judge in determining if this is a good or bad idea. Look before you leap. Remember that patience is the only virtue. Brainstorms can be promising but let the facts fall into place first. Many good outcomes have been damaged by impetuous strategies.

The Sun in Libra is always trying to balance what is going on in the surroundings. Libra tries to ascertain truth but without becoming a truth serum. In fact, Libra leans toward softening truth more than any other sign. They are diplomatic to an extreme, anything to keep the peace.

Overall, this week should be a good one for tying up loose ends. Some projects may have gotten off to a rocky start in the recent past. Now is a good time to “test drive” them again and make any necessary adjustments. Perfection may not be possible. Nothing is perfect that has already manifested.

You may have felt dismissed by some of the important people in your life. They don’t want to hear any more about it. “Forget about it” is the message that you have been getting. Perhaps, this is the right approach. If you don’t like what you have been hearing then you can say “in one ear and out the other.” Things don’t have to stick unless you want them to.

Beyond the Fourth Estate

This week brings you to a more theoretical place in your own mind. A place where you consider different approaches to some old and new problems. You try to bring balance to your life in the context of the big picture. Influences on the outside will become more conducive to making changes. The transition from confrontation to adaptation will be far easier to accept. You put extra effort into making things more harmonious.

Exploration of your emotions brings you closer to bliss, at least for a while. Enjoy this pastoral period and all that surrounds you. Friends and neighbors initiate a festive and friendly atmosphere. Be sociable and accept their hospitality. Learn to receive as well as give.

Practical matters will be at the forefront, as well. This is a good time to eliminate what no longer works for you. It’s a good time to clean house in general, both literally and figuratively. You are clearing the way for some new adventures. You are turning over a new leaf. You do this now with ease and without the need for control.

Financially, you strike a lighter note. Continue to consolidate your resources. The future is looking brighter.

A Mustard Seed

Once you get past the initial shock of feeling like you are not appreciated, you can remind yourself that self- image has a lot to do with people’s perception of us. You can’t get from other people what you don’t have yourself. Everything seems to reflect whoever we are. If you have the courage to reveal your true self, then others will feel comfortable with you. They will find that you are a reliable reflection.

This month proves to be a difficult one for just about everyone. It can affect you on the physical, emotional or spiritual level. After all, that is what upgrading your destiny is about. That is what free will is about. You have to experience life on a more subtle level. The physical is the most taxing and the emotional is tiring also. It requires that you expend a lot of energy. By implementing higher values, we have the opportunity to experience things in a much lighter way. Go lightly.

Part of going lightly is learning not to try and control the outcome of every situation. Apply higher values and allow them to work for you. Everyone has a good astrological chart if it is applied on a higher level. When we descend to the physical and insist on a particular outcome, we interfere with higher influences. Let go.

Believe in yourself and your uniqueness of purpose. Create inner peace.
