Ascendant Horoscope October

Since the Moon and Sun come into play together during a solar eclipse, astrological destinies are doubled this month. If you are looking for a fellow sufferer, you should now look for people with the ascendant opposite in the zodiac – because for them, the same houses and thus areas of life will be affected.
 

After all the retrograde planets and lessons of the past months, we all probably hope for some relief from the planets. And indeed, it is on its way – albeit a little differently than hoped. After all, a solar eclipse in Libra is approaching in the middle of the month. The exciting thing here is that both the house that is in Libra for us, as well as the respective opposite in Aries, will feel this energy. The energy that a solar eclipse brings is often associated with anxiety and discomfort, but first and foremost, it finally brings us the momentum and drive that we all desperately need after all the retrograde planets. In addition, solar eclipses are considered a typical time when hidden things come to the surface. So now it's time to embrace even chaotic energies and fully exploit unexpected opportunities. Those who are open to new things and allow themselves to let things flow can benefit more than ever. Even if the solar eclipse will not be visible here in Germany, we will still feel its effect.

 

Ascendant Aries / Ascendant Libra

The motto "you have to love yourself first before you can love someone else" may sound cliché, but with this solar eclipse, it becomes more relevant than ever for you. For you, especially your first and seventh houses are affected, which means that you should now find out how your relationship with yourself influences your other interpersonal relationships. What do you particularly appreciate about yourself, and do the people closest to you do justice to that? Where do you want to go with your life, and who around you truly supports you in that? And what more or less healthy patterns run through your romantic relationships? The solar eclipse will help bring the answers to all these questions to light, but it's up to you whether you are willing to face them.

Ascendant Taurus / Ascendant Scorpio

For you, everything revolves around health in the face of the solar eclipse, both physical and mental. While the energies around the twelfth house will mainly bring your subconscious and mental problems that you may have suppressed to the surface, the influence on the sixth house gives you the chance to scrutinize your daily routines and physical health. It is also important now to look more closely at the connection between the two. Have you been sick more often than usual lately, had sleep problems, or sudden skin blemishes? Even small physical symptoms often point to things we subconsciously try to suppress, and now is the time for you to confront exactly that.

Ascendant Gemini / Ascendant Sagittarius

The time of stagnation is officially over! Because this solar eclipse brings momentum to your social life in several ways. Due to your eleventh and fifth houses being affected by the solar eclipse, your friendships and your social environment in general will now be put to the test. In addition, it is quite possible that the urge for adventures and new experiences will now become particularly strong for you. It is all the more important then to ask yourself who you want to have around you during such new experiences. Conflicts that you have ignored in your friendships will come up again at the latest now, but at the same time, there is a chance to unexpectedly expand your environment and make new connections. No matter how unexpected it may seem at first, allow yourself to engage with new people and opportunities, and try not to question and rationalize things that are good for you too much.

Ascendant Cancer / Ascendant Capricorn

Balancing family and career is rarely easy, but this solar eclipse offers you the chance to find out how you can succeed. With your fourth and tenth houses in focus, it's up to you to consider which area you want to focus on and how you can create a healthy balance for yourself. If conflicts have arisen in your interpersonal relationships due to your job, this will come up again at the latest now. However, this does not have to mean anything bad – perhaps now is exactly the opportunity to explain your job and your love for it more precisely to your loved ones, or you decide to take a step back in your job to dedicate more time to your family. Whatever you decide: see even conversations that may seem uncomfortable to you at first as an opportunity to clear up misunderstandings and calmly reflect.

Ascendant Leo / Ascendant Aquarius

The signs are particularly strong for your development this month – because the solar eclipse brings upheaval to your third and ninth houses. This means, first of all, that you should ask yourself to what extent you are satisfied with your communication skills, but also with your further education in general, and what your long-term goals are in this regard. Is there that one training course you've been putting off forever, or a conflict you don't dare to address? With the solar eclipse, it's time for you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Furthermore, you will particularly benefit from learning about completely new topics and cultures. Never before has looking beyond your own horizons been so worthwhile for you as it will be now!

Ascendant Virgo / Ascendant Pisces

Money is a taboo subject? It's best to forget about that with the solar eclipse this month. Because as it primarily affects your second and eighth houses, not only will all the financial worries and questions you've put off resurface, but traumas related to financial stability, inheritances, and the like will quickly become the main topic. It's best to first plan everything that is currently uncertain in terms of your finances, and then deal with what it triggers emotionally in you. It's perfectly okay to wish for financial security, but be careful not to restrict yourself out of fear. As chaotic as the energy of the solar eclipse may be, it also offers many new opportunities – and you should definitely not miss out on them due to unjustified worries.
