October Astrology Update

It’s best you get there “on time.”

Hey there, astrology lovers,

Welcome to October. This month has two very important things in store for you:

-Solar Eclipse in Libra (new moon) on Wednesday the 2nd
-Full moon with a loose grand cross on Thursday the 17th in Aries

First, my apologies; you may not have received an email from me in a while.

Now, onto October…The New Moon Solar Eclipse sends a bold reminder that you must pay attention to the messages you consciously and unconsciously send in relationships.Now, you’ll want to check your chart for where this eclipse hits (and if you don’t know how to do that, I recommend my class Lunar Astrology Charting).In general, there is a wake-up call for us all (myself included, ouch!) regarding how we communicate and what those things mean to others. Let’s digest a few together, shall we?

1. Being on time
2. Being consistent
3. Speaking directly

I just finished reading this Reddit post and thought this foreshadowed some of the “time” issues in store for us in October: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/xajacS1NXf

To sum up, this dude’s wife is, on average, 12 minutes late picking up her kid from daycare every day. This has gone on for a very long time, and what was once a quirk he enjoyed in his wife (always being late) is now causing tremendous problems in their marriage.Libra is about equality in partnerships, and being on time is a way of demonstrating equality for those who operate on “clock time.” Yet, there is another type of person who lives on “event time” (like his wife) who just doesn’t see it the same way and cannot ever manage to be “on time.”

Clock Time vs. Event Time

I’m not sure this rift between clock time people (generally arriving at an approximate time) and event time people (generally arriving up to 20-30 minutes late) gets solved in my blog, lol, but I will say this from my astrology expertise: You likely will be dealing with some time management issues due to the complex nature of this eclipse in October.

Consistency plays into this: if you’re okay with the behavior of your partner, child, pet, co-worker, client, customer, doctor, or boss today, the odds are stacked against you in changing that behavior six months, a year, or a decade later.

Hence the Reddit post I mentioned earlier, where after years of being okay with her lateness, the husband is begging her to change, and she won’t budge. Because even if it seems like a simple and easy-to-change behavior, it won’t feel that way because the pattern is already well established.This means the longer the pattern stays in place with a person (be it lateness, not listening to you, complaining all the time, showing up uninvited, getting passed over for promotions, not being recognized for your work, not paying you back, etc.), the more difficult it is to change based on time elapsed.What’s important to remember is what bothers one person doesn’t necessarily bother the next.This brings me to my third point, which is speaking directly. There is a specific timing for “speaking directly” to make it work. Too soon or too late, and you become the asshole.

Your job is establishing boundaries early on and responding in kind (aka, walking away if they can’t be honored).Too many people waste too much time trying to “teach” their boundaries to others. The people who get it get it right away! The exception, of course, is your children, whom you must teach patiently and consistently to honor their own boundaries and those of others.

✚ Full Moon, loose grand cross ✚On the 17th, we have the full moon in Aries, with a loose grand cross in cardinal signs (a shape forming in the sky with historical significance in astrology). If you’re unfamiliar with “cardinal” in astrology, it is the energy of initiating and taking action. This occurs on a Thursday, which is connected with the abundant planet Jupiter.This is a time when things will be tense as you attempt to take new actions. Possibly, you are shifting a personal relationship to its next level or leading a team with a brand new playbook.

The message here: taking action right now pays off in the long term, not the short term.

Happy October,
Emily Klintworth
