STAR SIGN OCTOBER FORECAST Julie Evans

Before we can fully understand the October astrology for each Sun Sign, we must go back and acknowledge the September 29th Aries Super Full Moon. I am writing this before the super moon rises and I see the potential for more seismic and weather related activity. Here on the East End, we had almost a full week of the remnants of an offshore hurricane swirling offshore bringing high wind and heavy rain. The planet could experience more extreme weather because this supermoon will act as a catalyst. Expect more seismic activity around the globe or here at home in the US. The Annular Solar Eclipse on

October 14th at 1:55 pm in Libra and the Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28 at 4:24 pm pushes this climate energy into the end of the year. I expect gold prices to rise as the government talks about new taxes.

SCORPIO - Happy Birthday! There is something going on around homebase. It is perplexing to you and you are not sure whether you should verbalize your growing feelings. Wait until the end of the month and keep cool as something may take care of whatever is bugging you. Put that stinger away as it could work against you in the end. Expect an energy boost during the last week of the month.

SAGITTARIUS - Throughout the month you will gradually become more seen by others in general. You might consider doing a review of your finances and especially any investments. Any under performers should be looked at with a critical eye. Do not speculate in cryptocurrency but hold only the winning investments. Medical technology could prove profitable.

CAPRICORN - The changes you have made inside yourself and in your environment are popular. But some are thinking about how far you will actually take it. You might want to consider the costs to you and others emotionally and financially. It may be time to put the lock back on the pocketbook before the costs drive you crazy. You are powerful right now and powerful people are around you mind and verbal acuity. Instead make them and yourself laugh, you charmer.

AQUARIUS - You may feel like screaming at someone or just feel overwhelmed at times this month. Take care and be kind, especially to yourself. Go get a massage. I would look for financial healing from midmonth onward. A transformation is on the horizon. Prepare plans for community events you are involved in for next year. Success is on the horizon.

TAURUS - Sudden unexpected messages come your way this month. It could take the form of an expression of love or money. A windfall as a legacy may come in the mail. It is a good time to bring something or someone you love into your home. Perhaps a piece of art brings joy. Powerful people notice you. Expansion undertaken earlier in the year will contract and deserves review..

GEMINI - Keeping the children on course is the primary focus this month, however if you do not have any kids the focus shifts to your work. Creative endeavors are highlighted and will take your energy and your time. Be careful about jumping on anything that comes out of the blue and seems like a good investment.

CANCER - The Partial Lunar Eclipse will ping your moon worshiping sign. This may be the month to lay low. Everyone you work with is sensitive so try not to upset your boss or co-workers. You will be emotional so if you have questions that need answers, ask. But do not take the answers too personally. Everyone, it seems, is going through something.

LEO - Venus will finally pass entirelythrough your sign after a ninemonth visit. Review the Venus moments of the summer. Write them down because in eight years Venus will visit Leo again. Was it a love or a money issue that took up your time? Health issues for some were manifested. If there were health issues follow up this month.

VIRGO - Venus enters your sign now. Mercury will enhance your excellent communication skills more than ever during the first week. Look to turn your super ability to focus on communication and making all things beautiful. A new look may be in order or perhaps buy some gold coins. Look closely at any contract details.

LIBRA - Happy Birthday! All relationships are under review right now. The Annular Solar Eclipse falls in your sign and acts like your own personal full moon enlarging your emotions. You are not the same person you were three years ago. Be careful of the tone and the words you use when speaking to partners of any type because it will be too easy to create wounds.

PISCES - The beginning of themonth focuses on your resources. Getting on target with your budget is essential. Try to take a deep dive into those mysterious expenses. Are they necessary or have you just forgotten them? Romance is often a distraction this month. Make sure that love is true and does not disappear in the fog. It is ok to create boundaries and the universe is encouraging you to do that.

ARIES - It is your nature to move forward with words as well as with your exercise regime. You may have had an injury to the body or the mind you are working on healing. Continuing on that path is important karmically. Do your best not to assault anyone else with that quick

“happy ending” to romantic love, the couple felt times were too tumultuous to start a family of their own - this might or might not be true but this is the only information audiences receive in regards to the couple’s childless marriage. Arendt’s mother, to whom she was quite close also emigrates to America but her role in Arendt’s life completely drops off once arriving in America, leaving me wondering, what happened to Martha?

Arendt’s decision to never have children isn’t explored in any nuanced detail, the author cites that despite Arendt’s view of children as the true

Heberlein’s obvious admiration and respect for Hannah’s bright mind does translate onto the pages, and

Heberlein’s excitement propels the biography forward through the denser passages of text. One of the most interesting aspects of Arendt’s life is certainly her intellectual loves - the development of her own theories and ideas in conversation with the many brilliant minds she came into contact with all in spite of being expelled from her homeland. The biography makes one nostalgic for a time period before social media platforms like X, devaluing our modern discourses beyond recognition.

As the Jewish high holidays conclude this month, time spent thinking of lives lost, uprooted, forever and irrevocably changed during the Holocaust feel doubly important to honor and consider. Most importantly, however, Arendt wanted us to think. As she wrote: “There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking it-self is dangerous.”

If you know your rising sign or where the moon falls in your natal chart, you should read the forecast for that sign also. If you do not know your birth chart and want to know about the promise of your natal chart, I can be contacted at jevansmtk@gmail.com for a reading. My natal promise readings start at $100 for a half-hour and this month I am giving one free reading away to the first person who contacts me. Be aware and be kind! Look up, the stars are all around us! dry lens. Throughout the biography, Heberlein attests to the strength of Bluecher and Arendt’s marriage as a stabilizing force for both of them, yet seems to contradict herself by returning to Arendt’s unresolved feeling for the much older and known Anti-Semitic Heidegger.

In the spirit of Arendt, let’s all keep leading dangerous lives.

On Love & Tyranny: The Life and Politics of Hannah Arendt, by Ann Heberlein. Published by Pushkin Press solid half-hour party mix. The choice cuts bookend the set. “Souled Out” plays on Tropicalia while “Sleepwalker” leans toward heavy rock. It all adds up to immensely likeable crossover like what Herb Alpert used to do. And speaking of Alpert, his new one (Wish Upon a Star, Herb Alpert Presents, CD and download, September 15) is a pretty mixed bag, but there are at least a couple stream-worthy tracks (covers of the Carpenters’ “We’ve Only Just Begun,” Jerry Reed’s Smokey and the Bandit theme “East Bound and Down”). to drugs, prescribed or otherwise. (If you’re looking to celebrate same, dial up NOBRO’s new shout-along “Let’s Do Drugs” from their forthcoming Set Your Pussy Free). Paige MacKinnon’s delivery on the ruminating “I Hope She Knows” is like a tough Chrissie Hynde ballad and “Side Stitch” makes for a dire ending. A couple older songs can be found on their Bandcamp and more, with any luck, are soon to follow.

Who says a jazz band can’t play rock music? That question was implied, if not directly posed, within the lyrical permutations of Funkadelic’s 1978 “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?” Genre lines might be a bit blurrier 45 years later, but they’re still there to be crossed. Bassist Hannah Marks has worked for some highly regarded jazz bosses (Terri Lyne Carrington, Ingrid Jensen, Miles Okazaki, Marcus Printup, Nasheet Waits, Anna Webber) but her solo debut Outsider, Outlier (out on Out Of Your Head on Oct. 20, CD and download) draws heavily on the pop and rock she grew up with. On “(I Wanna Be Ur) 90s Dream Girl,” the first track and lead single, she remembers being a teen outfitted in denim jackets, Levi jeans and Doc Martens, humming Replacements songs while hiding her musical knowledge and skills so as not to threaten the boy she likes. It’s a pointed stick she waves. Her band can tackle the interlaced parts she writes and still kick up the dust, holding true to her indie rock passion. Some quieter moments recall Tori Amos, with singer Sarah Rossy gliding across octaves, but the songs are never simple. The “90s Dream Girl” video is the place to start, but the rest of the record is just as smart. And speaking of the Replacements, they were heroes back in the day but I fell off the wagon with 1985’s Tim. Friends continued to sing their praises, but I felt like they’d strayed. The 4 CD+1 LP (or download) reissue (Rhino, Sept. 22) vindicates me with a new mix of that album, pulling it closer to the raw sound of the previous Let it Bleed. Apparently, the band also wasn’t happy with the sound of their major label debut, produced by Tommy Ramone. I haven’t made my way through the whole set (65 tracks, 50 never released before) but I’m glad to hear Tim getting a new lease on life.

Guitarist Ava Mendoza lives in the demilitarized zone between prog and improv, playing instrumental music centered around her own stunning musicianship. The new Echolocation (CD, LP, download from AUM Fidelity Oct. 13) features what reads like a jazz line-up; the band, Mendoza Hoff Revels, is co-led with bassist Devin Hoff and includes saxophonist James Brandon Lewis and drummer Ches Smith. The opening cut, “Dyscalculia,” is available now and is a ferocious seven minutes. The title refers to a learning disorder that impedes the ability to understand numbers and math, but the strict meters belie any such claims. The rest of the album is just as alive. Revel in it.

Just in time for St. Martin’s Summer, or second summer, or whatever might best replace the more common term for a warm spell in November, comes Bite of the Streets by trumpeter Mac Gollehon & the Hispanic Mechanics (Nefarious Industries LP and download, Sept. 29). Gollehon’s long career includes time spent in big name Latin, R&B, rock in pop acts, including Hilton Ruiz, Lester Bowie’s Brass Fantasy, Chaka Khan, David Bowie and Hall & Oates. Bite shows aspects of all of that background in a half dozen instrumental grooves that make for a

Extended play. Going… Going… Gone! seems like a quick goodbye for a title to a debut record, especially by someone who has already played Lollapalooza and appeared on the cover of NME. Hemlocke Springs took the world by storm, or at least some corners of it, with “Gimme All Ur Love” last year and that track leads off the digital EP (Good Luck, Have Fun, streaming/download, Sept. 29) that collects seven quick synth-pop gems in just over 20 minutes. The multifaceted Springs was born Isimeme Udu in North Carolina to Nigerian immigrant parents and earned a master’s degree in medical informatics at Dartmouth this year. Her songs of anger and longing are infectious and the videos are hilarious. She’ll be in the movies before long. I don’t think she’s going away soon.

Out of Nashville comes the hard edge of Gloom Girl MFG, whose foursong debut Factory (Sign From The Universe Entertainment/Ingrooves streaming/download, Sept. 8) bristles with discontent and simmers with old-school hard rock energy. Again, the lead-off track is the winner. “Litterbug” merges environmental and existential crises. “My Brother’s Meds” attaches no romanticism

Celluloid Heroes. John Carney makes just the kind of sappy movies I fall for. I only discovered him with his last film, 2016’s Sing Street, about a young man trying to start a band to impress a classmate crush. His new Flora and Son premiered at Sundance in January, opened in U.S. theaters in September and is streaming on Apple+. Set (like his previous effort) in Dublin, Flora is about a single mother and her son both trying to write songs to impress their respective crushes. It’s kind of a paean to mediocrity and dead-end streets, but’s also about the power of music, especially for the (otherwise) powerless.
