Keep Looking Up! Ltd. Motivational Astrology October Forecast

By GiGi Sosnoski

THEME: The Magic of Believing

Belief. It gives you wings. Be it penguin wings or angel wings, your beliefs lift you into realms of magical possibilities. Belief or faith is not necessarily religious, spiritual or the popular opinion of the time – it is what you know in your heart to be true. Beliefs define who we are, shapes our values, and make the impossible do-able. They enable the mountain climber to touch the summit, the homeowner to rebuild after devastation, a penguin to reach his Antarctic destination. What are your beliefs and what do they say about you?

We all have access to the power of Belief, but it's only effective when used. Activated, it gives us strength to reach our objectives and endurance to surmount any obstacle. Achieving goals requires hard work and dedication, but to succeed you first need to believe in yourself. This month we have the opportunity to revisit our beliefs and reconsider our truths. October’s planetary energies with Libra, Scorpio and Leo alignments allow us to hold a mirror up to ourselves, our significant others and the beliefs that make us who we are.

How will the Astrological energies for October help us in our various life areas? Read on:

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS: Searching for the perfect mate? Believe the person you're with is “The One”? It takes two to make a happy pair. Consider what you're contributing to make your partnership ideal for both! October is all about relationship balance: realizing it's not just about what you're getting – it's what you're giving. Compromise, negotiation and fair-play are the keys to better relationships this month! Seeking common ground and encouraging shared beliefs help strengthen connections, too. The Aries Full Moon on the 12^th represents the culmination of our efforts to define ourselves while acknowledging our role in our relationships. The 27th's New Moon in Scorpio sets off a passionate start for new connections, while Mars in Leo gives us more confidence to demonstrate our affections!

WORK: How you act and interact with others professionally speaks volumes about your beliefs. It's not about your religious or spiritual beliefs – it's your work ethic, values, principles, and your skill utilization that brings recognition. Are you known for being on time, good with follow-up, taking pride in your duties and putting a professional touch on your projects? Whether you work for yourself or someone else, at a paid job or caring for home and family, your daily activities are the most direct expression of what you believe about your self and your place in the universe. The Mars-Leo pairing this month encourages us to express more of our abilities, while Venus moving through Libra and Scorpio helps us to add more skill and creative passion to our work.

FINANCES: What are your beliefs about money? It's vital to your prosperity to be aware of them. Without clarity on money matters you could very well be sabotaging your dreams. Most of our beliefs about wealth, finance and prosperity are instilled in us during childhood. Many of these teachings may not have been positive or abundance-affirming! Carrying self-defeating scenarios forward into our adult lives can reek havoc with our feelings of entitlement or abundance. October helps us to readdress issues of self worth as it relates to money and review our core beliefs about financial matters. With Saturn in Libra we are helped to find greater balance with issues of security, while Jupiter retrograde in Taurus enables us to reconsider money matters and rethink our views on prosperity.

HOME & FAMILY: What beliefs do you share with family? This is the month to consider how your beliefs, truths and opinions influence your loved ones. Our families teach us many things – what lessons are you are passing down to yours? Realize that negative perceptions, bias or stereotypical attitudes can negatively impact the home and young minds. Encouraging positive, life-affirming and balanced views are emphasized this month. Joining to find mutual agreement regarding faith, truth and the beliefs that hold the family together is highlighted. With Saturn in Libra there is much opportunity to find greater structure and harmony in our family's core issues, while the Aries Full Moon on the 12^th assists us in breaking out of old childhood beliefs and taking action to bring change.

HEALTH: What do you believe you can do for better well-being? You can read all the self-help books, join the gyms and try different diets, but in the end it is what you believe you can do that makes you do it. Seeing yourself in healthy, positive, energetic light and holding that picture in mind helps you realize that ideal. Envision moving your body with grace and ease, eating nutritional food, and feeling more positive about your overall well-being. This is the month for seeking balance in our bodies and minds and finding greater joy in our quest to keep healthy. October encourages us to get outdoors, appreciate the beauty around us and find greater body-mind-spirit connection with nature. Our physical energy is on the uptick this month with Mars in Leo, while emphasis of Libra and Scorpio help us recognize the beauty we want to manifest in our lives.

SELF: What do you know to be true about yourself? Belief is either empowering or limiting. Are you aware of your attributes or do you find yourself self-sabotaging? This is the month for realizing greater self-belief, self awareness and honouring of your personal truths. Loving yourself, acknowledging your strengths and utilizing your talents will help you to spread your wings. October assists us in uncovering our core beliefs, learning what they reveal about who we are. Libra's emphasis on the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in October's first half help us recognize more of the affirmative parts of our natures. When they align in Scorpio for the second half, we can transform any of our negative beliefs into positive ones.

Birthdays: If you have a birthday on the following dates in October, here are some of the energies you can expect for your year ahead:

2-3 October (Sun inconjunct Jupiter) Your key word: Education. A work-study program can help you maximize your talents and abilities while providing you with greater self-confidence,
