October 2019 Love TarotScopes—Pluto direct, Full Moon in Aries!

Embrace change and step into your power!

Pluto in Capricorn goes direct on October 3rd, after having been retrograde since April 24th. We have had several months to go deep into our subconscious, as we consider our relationship with power and authority. Are we ready to step into our true power, to transform our lives and be reborn? Have we been willing to accept responsibility, doing whatever it takes to create something solid and stable, to achieve a dream? Or have we been trapped by fear, remaining stuck in situations that may be safe but stifling.

Those ruled by Saturn or Pluto, (sun or ascendant) and the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn have been feeling the most pressure to release worn-out patterns. Saturn and Pluto have been dancing with the south node in Capricorn and north node in Cancer. This can be a karmic time when we may need to rethink our obligations and past conditioning. Are we following rules and regulations just because we have been trained to do so? Do they even make sense any more? Do we need to consider releasing some of those rigid processes to create systems that are more nurturing to our selves and others?

Serious Saturn and powerful Pluto are moving toward their significant conjunction in January 2020. If we have been working hard toward a goal, this can be a time of reward and accomplishment, when our lives are transformed for the better. Alternately, life may force us to change as structures, relationships, and situations crumble beneath us, forcing us to see the harsh reality of situations we have grown comfortable with for years. It is time to break free from any past conditioning that may be holding us back from fulfillment to create a new life plan that nurtures our soul!

The Full Moon in warrior Aries on October 13th and the diplomatic Sun in Libra form a T-square with passionate Pluto. Power struggles may erupt in relationships as we work to balance our needs with the desires of others. We may feel manipulated by the agendas of others. The focus at this time is on creating balance and stability in partnerships. If we have been giving too much away in the name of peace and harmony, we may realize that the time has come to take radical measures, leveling the balance of power so that our needs are also being met.

Benevolent Jupiter — planet of hope, luck, and expansion — is favoring the Full Moon. This can be a time of opportunity and abundance if we are prepared to venture out of our comfort zone to take action! At the same time, charming Venus opposite Uranus, planet of surprise, may bring unexpected developments in love or finances. We may feel the need to break free from current relationships, or find love with free-spirited individuals. Money may fly in or out suddenly. It could be an exciting time when what we least expect happens.

Embrace any courageous endings, or adventurous beginnings at the Full Moon in Aries. This will help us to create a more authentic life!
