Susan Miller's October 2017 Horoscope for Cancer

You start the month wanting to travel, so you should do it. October 5th to 8th is perfect for a short trip to enjoy the scenery brought by the changing seasons. A romantic trip for two sounds very attractive. If you have children, you can ask your parents to help take care of them for a day or two so that you will have time.

Susan Miller's October 2017 Horoscope for Cancer

Mars will help you get moving, dear Cancer. Mars has been in Virgo since September 5, and this very good aspect for you will last until October 21. Something special will happen in the first week of October, when Venus and Mars will form a romantic aspect in Virgo. If you are traveling with your lover, you will especially feel the romantic atmosphere. October 5th is a Thursday, but the romantic atmosphere will continue until the weekend of October 7th-8th. If you have someone special in your life, then you can make plans, but if not, then you might choose to spend this weekend with friends.

There is also a full moon on October 5 in Aries, 13 degrees, which will illuminate your tenth house of fame. Some very important work is coming to an end. Maybe you are taking over a powerful new position, starting your own business, or completing a major project. Whatever your career path may be, this full moon in Aries tells us that this job is some form of entrepreneurship or will take you into new areas that few people have experienced. For example, high technology or science are just two examples, and there are actually many possibilities. The point is, this full moon puts you in the role of a pathfinder. All full moons have a four-day influence period before and after.

Someone may challenge you during this full moon. Because Pluto is in a difficult aspect with this full moon, someone around you may be very aggressive, and you may be saddened by their unfair behavior. This person may be from work, a relationship, or a competitor. No matter which one it is, you must make a decision to either ignore him or speak up for yourself. If the other person is a lover, then perhaps this person feels that you are obsessed with work, because it is obvious that this full moon revolves around your career and future plans, so in this case, you should pay more attention to your lover.

Family will be your top priority at the new moon in Libra, 27 degrees, and you will temporarily shift your focus from work to family. A suitable new residence will appear, so you may have plans for your family or other property, or you may just want to do a thorough home clean-up in preparation for the year-end holidays.

The new moon in Libra on October 19 will be a bit troublesome, as Uranus, in your house of career and reputation, will oppose the Sun, the new moon, and Jupiter in your house of home and family. Uranus is the ruler of your eighth house, which rules other people's money, such as mortgages, loans, inheritances, insurance, etc., so this is why you suddenly feel a little financially short. The moon is the ruling planet of Cancer, so this new moon comes with great force. It means that there will be a large amount of expenses, which may be for personal health or to solve an urgent need for a family member.

If you're interviewing for a job that might require you to relocate, you might want to give yourself pause because of that fact. Alternatively, this week may not be so easy and you may have to respond to calls at home or among family members, both of which will keep you busy.

Mars will also enter the house where the new moon occurred on October 19, indicating that your focus in this area will be entirely on family, as Mars will be here from October 22 to December 9. Although the new moon on October 19 is not perfect, it will help you put your plans into action. At the same time, Mercury will be moving direct, so steady progress can be made.

The big news this month comes from Jupiter, which will leave Libra and enter Scorpio on October 10. There are so many reasons why this is so exciting! After entering the water sign, Jupiter can help you in a more direct way. In other words, you can naturally absorb Jupiter's positive energy. At the same time, Jupiter in Scorpio will form a trine aspect with the Sun, which in astrological terms indicates harmony and happiness.

The best news is that Jupiter arrives in your fifth house of true love. If single, there will be a good chance to meet someone new, the right person. It is very likely that you will meet new people through parties or other social occasions, or through business partners, collaborators or blind dates. Jupiter will be in your house of true love for thirteen months, from October 10, 2017 to November 8, 2018.
