Weekly Horoscope for Friday, October 1, 2010, #833 - BY ERIC FRANCIS

Now that you reached the bottom line of a relationship, what have you learned? What is that seemingly 'final' piece of information about a person or a situation? I think that what you've demonstrated to yourself is that you can see the potential for letting go entirely, that is, the potential for having no attachments. You've also encountered an example of how situations have limits, including time limits. Then, having come to these recognitions, you're in a place to choose based on the information. You may again be feeling your attachment or investment; you may be wondering whether you're going to get the contact you need. And you may be wondering about someone else who you've noticed. I think that the clearest revelation you can have involves something about how relationships are not so simple, but they're simpler when you make choices based on what you want.

You're starting to see the value of your commitments. They serve many functions, including keeping your life on track. What you may be figuring out lately is how, to be valid, these arrangements have to work well for both people. We're used to spending our lives saying "what's in it for me?" chasing the next check, though I suggest you look at all equations from both sides. If you think you're worth the price of your paycheck, ask yourself why that is. Consider the experience of anyone to whom you devote yourself or your energy. I suggest you set a goal of these relationships being oriented on maximum profit for all the parties involved. There is an efficiency factor here; energy conserved becomes profit made. There is a creativity factor as well: everything that exists owes its life to one creative process or another. Feed them generously.

Mercury has finally entered new territory for the first time since being retrograde on Aug. 20, though the sense of being bogged down in something may have begun several weeks earlier. It's been a while since you felt emotionally free, and you may be taking your first tentative steps in a while. Life would be easier if you didn't critique yourself every 15 minutes. There are few places to turn for advice about how to worry less. I would suggest this: take steps where you feel like you're on solid ground, rather than where you feel yourself sinking in. That goes for thoughts, it goes for people and it goes for actions you take to create a safer world for yourself. Everything you need to know, your mind and emotions are going to give you in direct feedback. And that will work great -- as long as you listen to yourself.

You seem to want both certainty and a sense of adventure. Many would argue that you cannot have both. But there is such a thing as having a foundation; then there is what you do with that foundation. Some people keep pouring the concrete; others would build something innovative. This isn't so much about a structure as it is what you do with your creative and erotic energy. Remember that most of what we cling to that offers a sense of security rarely delivers, and usually leaves us bored and wanting something else. You have the foundation you need; you have some confidence. Now, your quest is to give yourself permission to actually be the person you want to be and to have the experiences you want to have. And if something that 'makes you safe' is preventing you from doing that, it's definitely time to reconsider things from a new point of view.

You are at a turning point, but it's less like making a left turn in a car, and more like the ocean tide changing directions. You seem to be taking the future more seriously. You seem to be devoted to grounding yourself in work that leads to success rather than just a paycheck or something to do. The planets suggest that you take every step consciously, and be certain that you're not skipping any steps along the way. These involve paying attention to your environment and your relationships. Of the first, it's clear that you're involved in a process of many reforms and changes that are long overdue and will help get the energy moving. Of the second, remember that your life is intricately interdependent on the life of someone else. Their success is your success; yours is theirs. Therefore, put the relationship first and the success will dependably follow.

Mercury has finally entered new territory in your birth sign, and this is your signal that it's time to start moving your life forward in a way that felt impossible three or four weeks ago. Notice how the obstacles that seemed so enormous now look like little models you can move around on the table. Notice how the time pressures have eased enough to give you some flexibility, and how you're not struggling with exhaustion on a daily basis. Still, you would be wise to conserve your energy and make choices one at a time. Economy and efficiency are two of the most important themes of your life. To a great extent that involves what you do with your mental energy, and I strongly suggest you do a kind of audit accounting for how much anxiety costs you in the way of time and creative potential. In fact there are days when most of your energy goes into fear. There is a better way, and you're going to find it because you want it.

You seem to be pulled in two directions, as if you want two different things that you believe conflict. Or, you 'want something for someone else' that doesn't quite align with your personal desires. In the next few days you will see that there is indeed a point of reconciliation. You may not get a look at it for very long. It may show up as one of those fleeting possibilities you notice in a slightly altered state of mind or think of right before you fall asleep. But there is in fact a point where everyone's needs meet in a way that benefits all. Once you have that potential in mind, and you believe that it's real, you'll need to go through a process to have it happen. But this will be simpler if you remember that the goal of the endeavor is happiness. If you focus on that at every step of the way, you're more likely to have it.

There are two basic ways to have intimate relationships. One is to seek another person for a sense of completion, because they have something you're missing, and hopefully vice versa. The second way is to be a complete person and meet another complete person and have a kind of partnership, journey or human enterprise. Most of the time we seek the first option. The planets are reminding you that your mission is to work with the rarely used second method -- another way of saying work with your inner sense of balance. Make contact with the male and female principles you contain, no matter what your sex or sexual orientation. There may be conditions in your life that are compelling you to take a more introspective view of your relationships. Indeed there are some Scorpios or Scorpio ascendant natives that may be experiencing an unusual sense of isolation. Yet by now you know that this is serving a useful, even vital, purpose.

You're in one of those moments when if you do what you love, the world will respond with love. Remember not to question your chosen purpose. That's another way of saying proceed with the quiet confidence that you're doing the right thing. You may not feel like you're at your creative peak; you may still be taking care of what feel like the minor points. I suggest you keep taking care of those things at the same time you nourish your larger vision. The thing about larger visions is that they don't take shape immediately, and they do a lot of their taking shape when we can't quite see what's going on. However, I strongly suggest you trust that this mysterious process is underway, and that you'll get results. Even if they're not quite the results you're expecting, you will have plenty to work with and some pleasant surprises. For now, every detail counts toward the whole.

There are those moments when you figure out what you're good at because you do it and discover you're doing it well. Those moments can be points of decision without you even recognizing that. They can be moments of putting your feet on the true path of your life, and you had no idea what you were doing. Thanks to astrology you have a clue: you can be aware that you're now at an intersection where the past, the present and the future converge. At this juncture you have the ability to shift the flow of your destiny; in a sense, you can make a choice that does something to resolve the past and activate the future in one gesture. I am not sure you'll recognize this moment when it happens, but I can tell you that if you live consciously and pay attention to who and what is around you, and what opportunities are open, you will be that much more open and available.

I suggest you shift modes quickly, if you were or are currently doing the push/discipline/focus thing -- you've gone as far as you can go with that for now, and over the next few weeks you have a nice opening for flow/inspiration. The idea here is not to ease back entirely and coast along, but rather to apply your ideas as they come and develop your talents on an ongoing basis, as a kind of intuitive experiment. You can afford to be a little less goal-centered and a little more exploratory. You will find something that hooks your interest or qualifies as a plan that you can get into through a more circumspect approach. This is the part that may qualify as learning, which is suspending rationality, linear thinking and logic, and allowing your intuition to take over. I realize there are skeptics who argue that there is no such thing as intuition, right along with ghosts and UFOs. But in this situation seeing will definitely mean believing.

You've fulfilled several key commitments or responsibilities recently, and I suggest you give yourself a break. This continues the theme of "do what makes you feel like a Pisces," which might involve music, art, sex, poetry or 'alternative' states of consciousness -- you have one foot in the dreamtime, so put that to good use. I'm suggesting that you do this as a way to create 'inner space' -- that is, to open up a space in yourself that can be filled by the inspiration that is currently pouring in, and that will do so increasingly over the next couple of weeks as the Sun makes a trine to the Chiron-Neptune conjunction. For the past week of the Sun in Libra, you've been looking right at Saturn, which has been about keeping your focus and maintaining your relationships. Now that the Sun-Saturn conjunction of 2010 has joined that thing known as history, you're being invited to go freestyle for a while -- and that is what I would, in a word, describe as Pisces.
