ErosScopes: October 2009 Love Horoscopes – Libra to Pisces

cafeastro — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:54:43 +0000

Horoscopes for the month ahead, with a focus on love, sex, romance, and style.

Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important “trappings” and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs.

While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.

Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.

October 2009 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

There’s a lot of focus on you this month, dear Libra, and it feels good to be in the spotlight. Venus enters your sign on the 14th, and Mars enters Leo, a very compatible sign to yours, on the 16th. These are excellent influences for matters of the heart, and you’ll find that any awkwardness in love begins to dissipate at this time (mid-month). Now the world is understanding your love language. A partner moves from a rather practical and perhaps critical attitude to a much friendlier disposition. You are attracting attention, and others are truly feeling your warmth and applauding your cooperative, friendly, and balanced approach to the world now. The 4th brings relationship “tests” that have an excellent chance of passing. New information comes to light that might be surprising but ultimately transformative. The 18th brings a real sense of beginning anew. You may have heard that Saturn is moving into your sign, and this occurs in the last few days of the month. Only Libras born early in the sign are affected for now. New responsibilities are in the works for you. It’s time to take a really good look at your life and to discover what needs fixing. A more serious attitude towards your life is not a bad thing, unless, of course, you are too hard on yourself in the process. Home life will be changing in significant ways for you down the road. This month is a good time to focus on your needs and wants. Most people in your life will be in your corner right now. Enjoy the fresh energy. Sexual energy is strong and vibrant. The 3-4 brings possible relationship tests, but also rewards, and strengthening of ties on the 13-14. Towards the end of October, focus shifts to security, finances, and comfort matters. Better days for love this month occur on the 3-4, 13-14, 29th, and 31st. More challenging days for love are likely to be the 7th, 9th, 15th, and 19th.

Scorpio

For the most part, the first three weeks of October are a time of repose, of tying up loose ends, and perhaps letting go, dear Scorpio. Sensitive issues or secrets are coming to light this month, and should be handled with care. Mostly friendly energy is experienced in love until the 14th, when love matters are less straightforward, private, and perhaps might involve making a few sacrifices. A partner may be out of reach, distant, or in need of help, and your role right now is to lend support without expectation of reward. Something may be preventing you from directly expressing love and affection, or you may be turning to the past for answers. Considering and reconsidering your role in a love relationship is a likely theme now; while single Scorpios might be a little wistful about past relationships. When Venus enters Scorpio next month, you’re likely to be far more confident about what it is you want from your love life. Right now, reflection is in order. Demands from work are strong and keeping you especially busy. The last week of the month brings a strengthening of personal spirit as well as increased focus, energy, and confidence. New responsibilities and commitments are presenting themselves, and you feel confident about taking them on. Better days for love are the 13-14 and 29-31. More challenging days for love are likely to be the 7th, 9th, 15th, 18-19, and 21st.

Sagittarius

October is a powerful month for you, dear Sagittarius. This is because your ruler, Jupiter, begins to move direct on the 13th, and taskmaster Saturn is moving out of its challenging position to your Sun. The past months have been anything but light, and you are bound to feel more confidence, energy, and conviction now. By mid-month, your confidence in pushing matters forward and asking for what you want from life increases by leaps and bounds. Romantic connections and friendships tend to be supportive in October. Close personal relationships are friendlier as well, particularly on the 20-23. Venus, the goddess of love, moving in the compatibile sign Libra on the 14th, as well as Mars’ move into fellow Fire sign Leo on the 16th, are more power moves in your solar chart. Significantly easier energy when it comes to love, sex, and passion can be enjoyed. You are adventurous, especially sensitive to the written and spoken word when it comes to sexuality, and more accepting of others. Attraction to unusual scenarios and people are strong themes. Towards the end of the month, you begin to require some down time as you enter a more private and withdrawn yearly cycle. This doesn’t mean your love life shuts down, however. It simply means you are likely to re-evaluate various aspects of your life and take extra time for yourself to meditate and reflect. Love is The 1st, 3-4, 9th, 13th, 18th, 20-23, and 28-29 are the more harmonious days for love in October, while the 11th and 16th are a little more challenging.

Capricorn

Responsibilities and accountability are big themes in your life in October, dear Capricorn. It’s a very busy month for career and professional matters, public exposure, and attention to business. What you do and say has significant impact this month. Tensions are building involving your own ability to take the lead and to manage others. It’s a time of proving your worth, and you’re likely to shine under this pressure. Until mid-month, you’re feeling especially adventurous and spirited when it comes to romance and committed partnerships. In the last two weeks of October, sexuality is intense and possessiveness can become a problem if it gets out of hand, and you are certainly less free-spirited in your attitude towards love. Committed relationships offer you more stability, and if you’re not in one, you might be feeling a tad insecure. One-on-one relationships are becoming increasingly important to you now, and they will for the next few years as well. Some of you will be taking on business partners, and some will be bringing more work to a romantic partnership in some way. While career matters are especially pressing this month, it will be helpful to keep that stress at the office so that you can better enjoy your love life. October 12-13, 29th, and 31st are likely to be the stronger days when it comes to matters of the heart. The 15th and 19th are likely to be more challenging for love, due to doubts and suspicions that might get the better of you or a lover.

Aquarius

October is a mostly happy and energetic month for you, dear Aquarius. With Venus moving through your intimacy sector until the 14th, however, intensity appeals most in your close relationships. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful. Your magnetism revolves around an element of mystery and fascination rather than outgoing charm. From mid-month forward, with Venus in fellow Air sign Libra and Mars entering your partnership sector, your love life is more animated and outgoing in nature. Relationship problems are bound to surface, demanding attention. Take the time to sort these matters out, keeping in mind that the higher goal is to connect with your partner at a deeper level. You are looking for excitement, adventure, and immediate feedback from partners and lovers. In the last week of the month, you’ll be paying considerable more attention to both career and close personal relationships. Saturn moves into a pleasing trine to your Sun at this time as well, and you’ll find it begins a new trend in which meeting your responsibilities not only comes naturally, it also feels good! Others are bound to find your grounded, practical, and responsible attitude most appealing. The better days for love in October for you are the 22nd and 27th, while more challenging days for matters of the heart are more likely on the 4th, 9th, 16th, 24th, and 31st.

Pisces

Venus moves through your partnership and intimacy sectors this month, dear Pisces, and love matters are one of your major priorities. It’s a very strong time for smoothing out complications that likely arose in your relationships last month. Your adaptability and flexibility help you to do so quickly and effectively. Romance is lively and spirited in the first two weeks of the month. Your need for contact and exchange with a partner is greater in October, becoming more intense and intimate by mid-month. Money matters, particularly regarding money owed or shared, are big themes for you. Support from others, from friends, and business loans are in focus and possibly a source of stress this month. Partnership matters improve, and you might even feel as if a weight has lifted from you in this area of life. However, relationships are not without intensity now. Issues of sharing, including financial matters, can be the source of some conflict or drama. The need for new depths of intimacy becomes increasingly clear this month, but the tendency to let suspicion or insecurity rule your actions is also strong. Around the 18th of September, you likely made new plans when it came to close partnerships, and in October, you will be solidifying these plans and resolutions. October 3rd, 14th, 20th, 24th, and 28th are better days for love, while the 4th, 9th, 11th, 15-16, and 21st are likely to be more challenging.

ErosScopes: October 2009 Love Horoscopes – Aries to Virgo

cafeastro — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:55:56 +0000

Horoscopes for the month ahead, with a focus on love, sex, romance, and style.

Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.

October 2009 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

Partnerships and close relationships are a strong theme for the month of October, dear Aries. A Full Moon in your sign on the 4th brings heightened emotions. While you are wearing your heart on your sleeve and personal needs are highlighted at this time, overall, the emphasis is on “us” rather than “me” this month. Until the 23rd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your partnership sector, and your pride and ego are very much wrapped up in meaningful relationships. You have a greater need than usual to be with a partner and can better understand yourself through your interactions. A partner provides a mirror for discoveries about yourself, and you may be involved with strong personalities just now. Your reactions to others are in the spotlight–what others stir in you are truly learning experiences now. Others are seeking out your support and companionship. Your own ability to harmonize and cooperate with others helps you to improve, or attract, partnerships. When Mars enters your romance sector on the 16th, romantic impulses step up and you’re more than willing to take the lead. Just two days before, Venus enters your partnership sector, and you have both charm and eagerness going for you–very hard to resist! It’s an exciting time for romance. You are looking for variety and unusual experiences sexually this month. At the end of the month, Saturn enters Libra, your opposing sign, and this ingress marks the start of a significant new cycle that will involve a complete review of your partnerships. This may not feel easy or comfortable at first, but will ultimately get you in touch with your needs. Relationships can be formed or strengthened on the 12-13 and 28-31. The 15th and 21st are more challenging days for love.

Taurus

You start the month with a playful attitude towards love and romance, dear Taurus. Troublesome romantic matters are cleared up, and a new sense of purpose, or at least a new plan or resolution, is in place by the 12-13. Some form of coming together, being “on the same page”, or sense of renewal occurs at this time. Around the 18th of September, you likely experienced a new beginning of sorts in the romance department, and now is the time for strengthening and consolidating this new energy in your life. Work matters grab much of your attention as the month unfolds. From the 23rd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your partnerships and close interactions with others. This cycle, that lasts until November 22nd, is a yearly trend that puts you back in touch with yourself as you react to, and interact with, significant others in your life. Building harmonious connections actually feeds your ego at this time. Others find you a little easier to get along with. Recognition that you truly need others’ support and companionship in turn makes you more companionable! Stronger days for love this month occur on October 4th, when an old conversation is revisited, corrected, and clarified; the 12-13, 23rd, 28th, and 31st. More challenging days for romance are October 15th and 18-19.

Gemini

For the most part, you’re entering a more playful and romantic period this month, dear Gemini. Certainly, your mind is focused on how you have fun, express yourself creatively, and enjoy romance. September was likely a time of some withdrawal and cocooning, and October brings a more liberated energy to your life. Nevertheless, you’re entering a long-term cycle in which casual love affairs are more demanding of your time and energy, and the question of whether to become more serious or to let go is likely building. Getting serious about not-very-serious relationships can be part of the picture! No decisions need be made just yet. In fact, this cycle is just beginning. It’s a more stabilizing energy than you have been feeling of late, and needn’t be feared. Some of you may experience new or more responsibilities with children, some may be turning hobbies into businesses, and others might be strengthening or building a romantic relationship with Saturn in your solar fifth house for a couple years. For now, you are enjoying a more light-hearted mood, perhaps a little mischievousness, and admiration from others for your wit and charm. The 12-13 brings a stimulating conversation with a friend or lover. Some new plans may be laid out now. Stronger days for love occur on the 3rd, 8-9, 20th, 23rd, 28th, and 31st. More challenging days for love are the 11th, 14th, and 19th.

Cancer

Healthy confidence and energy are with you at the beginning of the month, and particularly around the 4th. Work matters are strongly in focus this month, and so are all matters surrounding your home and family. It’s a time for really getting to the heart of your relationships with family, your feelings about your home, and all that makes you feel solid, supported, and secure. On the 16th, Mars leaves your sign, and you begin to wind down after some perhaps whirlwind experiences. Mars in your sign is helpful in many ways, as it affords you more confidence and energy to get moving on personal projects or simply to assert your needs. However, it can also keep you so much on your toes that it’s hard to catch your breath. October is a good time for catching your breath, and slowing down a little. By the last week of the month, your romantic impulses are stimulated and you might find you’re receiving invitations to get out and about. Saturn’s change of sign in the last days of the month may point to a change in a partner’s general outlook and disposition. This change is only just beginning now, and there will be some tricky times ahead as you adapt to changing romantic relationships and attitudes in general, particularly next month. Stronger days for love in October are the 12-13 and 29-31. More challenging days for romance are the 15th and 18-19.

Leo

October is a month of movement, learning, and communication for you, dear Leo. There’s not a lot of unusual activity on the romance front this month, which generally means status quo–nothing exciting and new when it comes to relationships, but nothing too stressful either! The 9-12 is a good period for romantic relationships and/or creative projects. Watch for stress affecting your relations with others on the 28-31, and chances are good you can do some solid healing work with a significant other. Fiery, energetic Mars enters your sign on the 16th. Mars will be spending more time than usual in Leo this cycle because starting in December, Mars will retrograde and continue its apparent backward motion into the New Year. Pay special attention to the activities and themes occurring now as you break out of your shell and take on new challenges and new projects. These will likely be revisited in the New Year! You are certainly expressing yourself with more power, assertiveness, and enthusiasm. You are eager, adventurous, and just a tad volatile–it’s easy to get you fired up. This can be exceptionally attractive to some, and perhaps a bit too much for others! A partner is likely to truly appreciate and admire your taking the lead around the 4th.

Virgo

Changes in your life have been intense recently, dear Virgo, and this month new priorities are emerging as you restructure and begin a new phase in your life. One of these priorities is attention to finances, which are mostly strong. However, there is a building awareness that you need to pay more attention to budgeting and paring down frivolous or otherwise unnecessary expenses in order to save more and consequently feel more secure and in control of your money. As Saturn moves out of your sign at the end of October, you begin to feel re-energized and considerably more light-hearted. Saturn will return to your sign in 2010, continuing to affect those born late in the sign of Virgo (those born September 17-22). Far-reaching changes in your romantic life are in the works, and your attitude towards casual romantic affairs will be transforming on a very deep level in the next few years. This month, life is mostly stable. You’re feeling a little more understood, although responsibilities continue to weigh heavily on you. A romantic partner is steady and status quo for the most part. Increasingly, however, you are discovering that you and a romantic partner have very different values. You might be questioning whether it’s worth the challenge at all. Venus is in your sign until the 14th of the month, and with Mercury now direct, your charm and willingness to cooperate boost your attractiveness. Better days for love are the 4th, when committed love in particular is exciting and rewarding; the 7-9, when adjustments become obvious and you have all the tools to improve your relationships; the 12-14, when a new feeling of stability is with you; and the 23-24. More challenging days for love occur on the 19th and 21st, when disappointments may stem from unrealistic expectations.
