Weekly Horoscope: October 9 - October 15

Aries-Libra Full Moon - The Truth Shall Set You Free

The intense sensitivity and desire to make deep connections this week may, unfortunately, lead to significant frustration (peaking at the Aries-Libra Full Moon) if we aren't able to make as much progress as we think we should. It may not be so clear and easy to recognize that we may be missing the crucial elements of truth and honesty. Concerns over appearance may lead us to carve away some important truths. And honesty may seem to be a strategy that will only lead us to reveal our weakness and vulnerability. However, the connections we are seeking will only be satisfying if we take the leap of faith that is required in order to realize that only 'the truth shall set you free'. By the time we reach Saturday's Full Moon (9:23 PM PDT 23° Aries/Libra), we are likely to see a significant amount of explosive frustration. Mercury's square to Pluto — which is now direct — intensifies the power of words. Individual action may sidestep or even seek to derail any attempts to create a cooperative, connected atmosphere.

A Moon/Uranus square early on Sunday sets up a discouraging start to the week and leaves the atmosphere feeling very 'out of control'. The need to control things dissipates on Monday in a highly inspirational environment. There's just enough luck to take us over the finish line as long as we make an effort. Tuesday's giddy, unstable environment could lead us to say more than we should or reveal more than we intend. Sensitivity and sympathy lead to confusing communication issues that begin to increase frustration levels. The challenge is finding the balance between caring concern and clear-eyed detachment. Frustration leads to defensiveness on Thursday as attempts to help others don't yield the desired results. Some may simply give up and walk away when they don't get the cooperation that they're looking for. On Friday, independent, individual action takes over from any attempt to build a cooperative atmosphere. Although insight and intuition are strong, not everyone has the most honorable motivation. Frustration reaches a peak under Saturday's Full Moon, leading to some unpredictable behavior and explosive outbursts. We'll need to be sure we're playing the 'Long Game' and stay focused on the big picture instead of being derailed by details.
