Capricorn Horoscope for October 2017

You are caught up in the transformational flow, Capricorn. The heavy outer planet presences of unpredictable Uranus as well as changeful Pluto, in your sign, presage movement within your process of self-discovery. You are coming to deep intuitional awareness. Things are not the same this in early fall period as they once were, even as recently as mid-August. There is a fundamental freedom from constraint at the core of your personality that both opens you up to new possibilities and also creates a sense of being unmoored in the midst of a degree of chaos. You are feeling a little wild and liberated, and may miss the more settled way that life has been up until recent weeks. Yet, you are in some way discovering your destiny in this very instability. Your individual fate is bound up not with consensus thinking or conventional attitudes, but rather with who you yourself uniquely are, at these more profound layers of your psyche.

The month of October begins with a Full Moon in Aries on the 5th, which illuminates your home base and your private domain. You could be itching to bring some much-needed changes to your living situation and this could mean renovating or relocating. If this is not a realistic goal for now, you could find pleasure in pursuing a small project or exploring a new subject. You benefit when you can step away from your routine and take the road less traveled to find new inspiration.

Relationships will be a big theme for everyone this month; especially for you Capricorn. The astrology of October supports your collaborations and you should not shy away from teaming up with others. You could learn a lot from associating your talents with others; especially if this can give you tangible results. You might also find that some partnerships are requiring too much sacrifice. The burdens, responsibilities or demands of a partner could weigh heavy on your mind. The first part of the month will be spent sorting through your agreements with others to find a happy compromise. Do the work that is required to keep the peace; setting your boundAries where they are needed while staying flexible and receptive to what others are demanding from you. Power struggles are a possibility, especially in the second week of October. You might want to watch for the areas of your life where tension is building up in order to defuse them before things get out of hand. A lot of the problems this month will come from setting unrealistic standards or being hypercritical. Quality does not necessarily mean perfection; discriminate between what is possible and what might be out of reach for the moment. Combining your desire for excellence together with your pragmatism will help you succeed.

Pleasure can be found in social events in the second half of the month. If you were thinking of joining a class, a club or participate more actively in your community, October should represent a boost to your confidence. Networking could bring interesting opportunities, so jump on the invitations to do so. Take advantage of the current momentum to put yourself out there. The New Moon in Libra on October 19th is your cue to reset your stance in work and career. You will need to find the delicate balance between your own projects and fulfilling your other obligations. Also, putting in the extra effort needed to smooth out your partnerships will help you get what you want out of them. You might be surprised at the feedback you get from leaving your stoicism at the door, and for communicating openly about your needs. Showing vulnerability is definitely not your natural strong point, but speaking honestly will make others more receptive to what you are trying to convey. People will appreciate your integrity and your interactions will benefit accordingly. Overall, this time of the year is always a busy one for you and you will likely feel more inclined to go out and connect. Take advantage of the Libra Sun in October to put your diplomatic skills to work!
