All work and no play...it may seem like there is so much to do and you can't keep up the work and the chores of life at this time.  My gosh there is so much to do at work how on earth is it possible to then get home and accomplish all that needs to be done on the home base.  I think truthfully the only way to really get the most out of life is with a 4 day work week.  I just pushed for one and manifested it and it is the best!  We really do need 3 days off to take care of what needs to be done in our home environment.  And truthfully, the presentation of our home is a direct connection to how our outer lives manifest.  So if our home is a pigsty with dust bunnies everywhere and closets bursting at the seams full of thing we just can't deal with...then what do we expect our lives to look like?  Even if you do have to do the 5 plus day work week, do not let your home environment slide. If it means hiring someone every other week to deep clean and keep that energetic portal in order, then do so.  You will feel better and have a life more conducive to what you want it to look like if your home base is clean and in order.  And if you do have to hire out to take care of the home chores, you will also be doing  a good deed by giving someone the opportunity to make some extra cash.  It's a win/win. 

Now as for exercise, this is the best time of the year for you to start something that really sticks. Really get out there and feel out some options because you need to burn off the energy through something that you can naturally do and love.  Your energy is very home based at this time so maybe the thought of taking any home time away is a turn off, and in that case find something that you can do at home.   There is a website called Pilates Anytime and you can just do these pilates classes that were recorded earlier and do them at home as if you were in the class.  Alternating with yoga videos is a good choice too.  You can buy a hula hoop and work out in the back yard, even if for a few minutes.  You can decide to paint the house and dedicate and hour a day to getting it done, and at the same time get a good arm workout.  You can have more vigorous and longer session sex and burn off the calories that way. 

You are in a space of healing at this time so if you find that you need to be resting more than exercising then by all means take it easy.  But do plan what your next exercise will be when you are feeling up and ready to move those bones.  This is also a great time to establish some better eating habits and to detox the body.  I recommend the Hills Homeopathic Detox Kit that comes in 3 bottles with all these ingredients that will work magical healing to all your organs, your joints, and your digestive system.  This stuff will truly recalibrate your body and get it to a healing state.  Anything dealing with exercising, detoxing,  changing your diet, healing, chiropractic work, rolfing, acupuncture, reflexology and basically anything focused on the physical body should be your main focus in life this month.  You will reap more benefits for work done now than at other times. 

The Full Moon will arrive on October 11 and will hit at 18 degrees of Libra and Aries.  This will bring something to the head involving all the things I talked about in the last paragraph.  This would be an EXCELLENT time to start a detox plan or to get some serious bodywork done which will release toxins and move energy.  You may feel sluggish and icky around this time but it is only the Full Moon moving some health related energy out of you. It would help if you could get bodywork around this time and also to soak in the tub with some epson salts to assist the release.  You may have emotional things come up that cause a huge crying, breakdown sort of feelings, and that is okay!  You have the opportunity to truly shift some stuck stagnant energy with this Full Moon and it is the same like when you work out really hard and are doing all these reps and it HURTS, but then you are done and the benefits take form later.  When something emotional comes out, it hurts, but to keep it inside is dangerous to our health in the long run.  So allow and flow with whatever comes out of you and know it is part of the process to bring you to this abundant, alive state of being you ultimately want as your life expression.

The New Moon will arrive on October 26 and will hit at 3 degrees Scorpio.  Now is the time to focus on others and to focus on any healing that needs to take place with co-workers or your partner or anyone you do business with.  If you are single and looking to be in partnership, then intend what you want in a partner and for that person to enter your life now.  You also have the opportunity to be learning so much from others at this time and you can expect the mirror to be in place with most people you meet.  They will either give you a message you were wondering about, or they will mirror a piece of yourself that you are uncomfortable with, or they will mirror a piece of your personality that you have already healed and they will confirm to you how beneficial it is that you grew beyond that old transformed trait.  Expect to bump into many people that will cause reactions but your job is just to discover the underlying purpose for growth that each one will bring.  We will talk about that more next month, but for now wish and intend a smooth sailing.  Wish and intend that you get the message in the most comfortable, quick acting, benefit reaping fashion. 

Back to October 2011 Monthly Horoscopes

Taurus
Last month you may have had some confusion around home based issues and maybe some roadblocks with changes you were attempting to make but ultimately otherwise, things are probably flowing along pretty dang sweetly for you.  You have Jupiter in your sign so that is always a really great feeling and it will feel like things just naturally go the way you want them to.  You should be feeling positive about who you are in the world and you'll find that others are enjoying being around this confident, expansive person you are becoming. 

Your spiritual or philosophical nature is evolving and there is a transformation taking place that is providing you with the tools to be the most honorable person you can be and to find comfort in a faith that pulls you through when things get confusing.  You are discovering your anchor that will keep you grounded in these changing times.  You may even find that what you believed in a few years ago is much different than what you believe in now.  What pulled you through a few years ago may not be the same thing that you are now discovering.  Your mind is open to learning new ways of doing things where  before you may have operated in more of a habitual or childhood conditioned way; as in you saw it always being done this one way so you followed suit, but now you see there is a better way that is more satisfying to your soul. 

You may have just met someone who will be a source of a lot of happiness in your life; or if you in a relationship already you will feel a sort of spring like infusion coming into the partnership.  If you are looking for a new love keep your eyes open this month to meeting someone who truly makes you feel giddy and like a teenager again.  There is also something to having Jupiter in your sign that will make you a magnet for love.  Its like how we always meet someone when we feel great and on top of the world because they are picking up on our energy and it just naturally attracts others.  This is a time when you will be meeting potential partners and if you don't meet anyone at this time then you would wise to take a look deep inside and see if there are some blocks within that are keeping love away.  You may be saying things like you are unworthy or not good enough or nobody is ever gonna love you and that is just not true.  I recently said to someone who was saying something negative about this guy, and I just was like, ya know, everybody has friends and enemies, you may feel that way about this guy, but someone loves him, someone likes him just the way he is, so drop the judgments.  We all have likes and dislikes.  I like anchovies and most people don't.  I don't like peaches and most people do.  It is all just opinions out in the world and nothing holds true for every single person.  So to say that  no one will ever love you is a joke.  Of course someone will love you.  There is someone for everyone.  And if you are still single you just need to keep your mind open and trust that someone will love you and expect that this person could very well show up in the next few days...

For the most part all is good and will be sailing along smoothly for a while but I do want you to be aware that Uranus is traveling through your 12th house at this time and will be there for about the next 7 years and this will bring sudden situations that may feel upsetting and will tend to involve secrets coming out and feeling betrayed like someone doesn't have your back or is operating as a secret enemy.  You may tend to react harshly and quickly such as lashing out at the other person.  But I am forewarning you now because these actions will have stiff karmic repercussions.  "Keep your cool and let some time pass before reacting", may be a good motto for you to hold for a few years.  The secret enemy situations that are coming your way will tend to  be the results of your own actions at other times in your life,  or things to stir up your own internal secret skeletons that you don't want others to know about.  These sudden situations that come carry deeper messages that you need to deal with and if you react harshly and vengefully towards them, you will only get stronger storms coming down the way later in time.  It reminds me of this dream this person had when he had this planetary position in his chart and he had this dream where a tornado was coming and he put his hand out and grabbed part of it and it ended up stopping the tornado in its tracks and becoming this frozen in time mold of a tornado shape.  Then another tornado came and he stopped it again and was saying to people, "look at what I did!!  I can stop the tornadoes before they get going!"  and someone in the dream said to him, but if it is something that is supposed to happen and you stop it in its tracks then it will probably manifest somewhere else in the world in a larger, more disastrous form.  And then this HUGE tornado came up on these cliffs around them and the whole wall of the cliffs was engulfed in flames and was destroying all this property and peoples homes.  So, with this aspect I share that story with you because it will be true.  If these secret enemy situations occur and you just out them or get even with them, and not deal with it like communicating and getting to the bottom of it, or honestly looking within and seeing why you magnetized this into your life experience, then you will get one hellofa storm later that will be even more devastating.  I have learned pretty well how to deal with secret enemies because my Mars is in my natal 12th house and ultimately you don't win by just pushing them harder or getting revenge.  You only win by not being reactive to their reactions to you.  I kind of laugh now when someone talks about me behind my back or when I hear a rumor about me.  But that took A LOT of years to get to.  Most of my years my instant reaction was to want to kick their ass and cause them pain in some way.   So if you can stay cool and not want revenge and say "whatever, they have every right to not like me if they choose, but it doesn't affect me", then you will win and you won't be tested in harsh ways through this planetary position. 

The Full Moon at 20 degrees Virgo and Pisces on September 12th 2:28am Pacific time, would be a great time to let go of old friendships that no longer feel good and for things that don't actually bring you happiness.  If something comes up today, feel the pain that it causes and just decide that you won't allow that in your life any longer.  If it is a person, let them go and use your experience of that person to get clearer on what you do expect from a friendship.  If it is a lover that causes you pain, let them go and see yourself with someone that does what they did not. 

The New Moon at 4 degrees Libra will come on September 27th 4:10am Pacific time, and this will be the time for you to manifest and focus on bringing in more harmony into your work environment or more love into your health healing issues or more consistency into your workout plan.  Intend a healthier more beautiful body.  Intend your health issues healed.  Intend understanding and peace in your work environment.
