A busy time on the work scene, especially if you find yourself in the “teacher” or “trainer” roles. Nice vibes on the home front, with lots of co-operation from partners and family. Big bills on a car can be avoided by taking preventative measures and you should be feeling quite smug about successful deals on luxury items. Also any money spent at this time on DIY or home improvements should be seen as a sound investment for the mid and long term future.
Splitting the sexes here, gentlemen of the sign should be feeling quite confident where finances are concerned, but ladies, especially single career minded ladies, might be feeling just a little bit jittery. A minor setback around the 13th to 17th might be the cause of this wobble, but you should be back on a more optimistic keel by the 23rd.
To be frank, there isn’t a great deal happening on the romantic front, which for some people, especially teenagers, might be a blessing in disguise if it gives them more time to concentrate on educational projects. However, quite paradoxically, there is a notable boost of romantic energy (not sure if “romance” is the right word) for more mature members of the sign in the 65+ age group.
Winter is here and the part of the Taurean spirit withers and dies. Not too much time to shiver in silence because work projects, both the old and the new, demand your time and attention, causing you to hibernate and get your nose to the grindstone. At the back of your mind you know you’ll be richer by next spring, which is a great incentive! There is also some pleasure to be had from a new sense of mobility – so maybe you’ve bought a new car or got your first bus pass – and as such, despite the flaming awful weather, we might just see you breaking with old habits and established traditions, as you make the effort to get out and about a bit more. Certainly there seems to be a flurry of social activity around the 7th and the 8th and again on or around the 17th and this could be a useful time for any kind of networking and maybe even making a couple of new friends.
I wouldn’t want to say that “romance is dead” exactly, but this would seem to be a fallow and passive period in affairs of the heart, and if there is any action, it’s probably going on in your imagination rather than in luxurious restaurants or cosy bedrooms. Ah well, my friends, perchance to dream! Perchance to dream! On the plus side, there is a degree of stability in well established unions, which is all very well but doesn’t really scratch your itch if you want to star in MGM’s new version of The Kama Sutra… In the leading role, of course!
The secret of your success in October is to recognise your limitations and live your life accordingly. A little bit more “me” time will be an invaluable investment, and strangely enough, other people close to you will also recognise this fact and encourage you in your quest. On the downside, parents with grown up children, may need to create some distance, which from the kids’ point of view, could be annoyingly inconvenient if it means they’ve got to do their own washing and actually pay for a baby sitter!
On a brighter and more positive note, emotional relationships move into a very strong period of unity as partners recognise their mutual need for each other. Busy nights out at the theatre or doing the late night shopping are a definite no-no but quiet weekends away in the country or at the coast could be highly therapeutic. That “me time” factor is well in play here, and you should listen to what your inner voice is telling you.
Singletons who are actively looking for romance should get some very encouraging signs from a member of the opposite sex, especially between the 12th and 15th and again around the 23rd and 24th which makes the heart beat just a little faster as you contemplate your future options.
Some clearly defined divisions of loyalties, both between people and also in connection with the use of your time. You cannot be in two places at once and cannot dance to more than one tune. Duty tugs your left arm while desire tugs at your right, and the need for stability clashes with your demand for adventure. As I see it, there is little or no satisfactory middle ground – you’ve got to go one way or the other – and to make matters worse, you’ll not be in any kind of mood to make compromises. Someone else, however, will offer a compromise, which will mean that if you do things their way, they’ll stop making a fuss and the status quo will be preserved. If you’re trying to change the status quo, this won’t go down at all well!
Having said all that, by the 20th or 21st some element of calm descends upon you… You’ll either have murdered someone in their sleep by beating them to death with a stick of wet rhubarb, or you’ll have backed off, having decided to bide your time, regain your strength, re-calibrate your strategy, and make your plans to fight again another day.
Another area of niggling concern right now might revolve around the behaviour of children, especially those in their early and mid teens. You only have two options here, either crack the whip and come down like Attilla the Hun, or back off and let them get away with their version of murder!
With regard to some recently made decisions you’ll feel quietly confident that you have made the right ones, and the domestic atmosphere and mental state of mind seems to confirm this most clearly. Not everyone will be happy with some of your choices, but as it was them who pushed you into making them, they only have themselves to blame.
This inner knowledge brings you an unexpected element of strength and patience, and you might even find some amusement and entertainment when other people start panicking a bit when they realise you are not just having a paddy… You’re being deadly serious, and you are not going to change your mind!
While this may shake a few apples from the tree, the tree will be stronger and healthier as a result, and this opens the doors of opportunity to enable you to find something more powerful and meaningful in romantic relationships and all personal aims and ambitions, be they sexual or psychological. If you are seen to be weak, you get walked on by all and sundry, but is you are seen to be strong, this does generate some respect… and in one particular area, also some Admiration!
A steady and stable month, which should be good news for some of you, but maybe it might not such good news for people who want to change the world, especially their world! Either way, it’s not a good time for rushing or pushing, and it’s far better if you can just take events in your stride and cliché though it may be, go with the flow. For now.
Some people hit their birthdays at this time, and while this can be a celebration for some, for others (especially those in their middle years) it is a time of reflection as you weigh up the plusses and the minuses of your successes and failures over the years gone by. It provokes awkward questions, such as “are you content with what you’ve got?” If the answer is yes, then this is definitely something to celebrate, but if the answer is no, the next question is “what am I going to do about it?” This last question demands a lot of careful thought and some very deep soul searching, but in my opinion, nothing should be done impulsively. Like I say, this subject needs some very careful thought!
Financially things look okay, and I guess that’s also true of relationships as well – although having said that, relationships could be a lot better if you could bring yourself to tell a partner what is going on in your heart and your mind at this time. You might be pleasantly surprised by the result, which will make finding the answers to those earlier questions a much easier process.
This could be a pivotal period for two distinctly different groups of Librans, eg. The 16-24 year old and the 50-60 year olds. In both cases events conspire to create a different image of their world, and a different view of possible futures. Yes, there is a romantic/emotional energy at play here, but it’s more than that! There’s an inner revolution going on within the psyche that propels you forwards in an attempt to make up for what is deemed as being lost time and lost opportunities.
Perhaps all Librans will find themselves having to make a few important decisions at this time, but those in the two age groups mentioned will recognise the importance and significance of their choices. The astrological advice would be to suggest that any step which represents a step forwards is the right step to take, but on a personal level, I can understand how this might be seen as a risk, and it may take you some time to find your courage.
To some extent, finances might have a role to play in this dilemma: you know you can probably “muddle through” by being cautious, but increasingly this philosophy finds itself on thin ice. To muddle through is no longer enough and in words of one syllable, you’ll find yourself wanting more. A lot more! Therefore, it looks like plans are being made and secrets are being held. You flex your muscles and, very gently at first, you start rocking the boat.
A sexy and sensuous month for many members of the sign, especially for ladies in the 35-50 age bracket. There’s a lot of feminine intrigue going on, while to their credit, the gentlemen are a little more direct. Either way, a month of late nights and parties where you are the only guest. (Work it out, okay?)
With Scorpio born people, wherever there is passion there is always an element of danger, and so with no offence meant to anyone, if you’re going to poo, be very discreet and don’t do it on your own doorstep. Mars is aggressively placed in your sign right now, and I get the feeling that there is someone watching your every move, just waiting to catch you out! You may do well to remember that emotions like jealousy, suspicion and insecurity are not just Scorpionic trends – they affect everyone else as well!
All this suggests that you might be at a crossroads in complicated relationships, and if this is so, the responsibility to sort the mess out is yours, and yours alone. Having said that, and with an eye on long term emotional fall out, do what you’ve got to do, but do it gently and with compassion.
If you’ve got dreams, follow them. If you’ve got questions, ask them. If you have doubts, examine them carefully and see if they are justified. If you’ve got kids, tell ‘em who’s boss, and if you’ve got pets, expect a few bills! If you’ve got debts, do deals to pay them off, and if you’ve got an identity crisis it’s time for the real you to stand up now!
The real you? Yes, well that’s a bit of a conundrum, especially for younger female members of the sign who are juggling with too many balls at the same time, trying to be all things to all people, while trying to find a modicum of freedom and independence without stepping on too many toes. If there are divided loyalties (which inevitably there are) then try to define your priorities and act accordingly. This may lead to a battle between duty and desire, but it’s a war that can be won one battle at a time. Stand your ground and be honest with yourself about who you are and what you want!
On the romantic front, someone will be paying you compliments, but I’ll bet you anything you like they have a secret agenda. There is a dangerous little spike around the 12th when you might be impulsive about accepting an invitation, (maybe just to shut someone up), which with the benefit of hindsight, you might wish you had declined. The 23rd or 24th brings some interesting developments on the work scene, which should be to your advantage, and you’ll be in for a surprise on Halloween – which will have nothing whatsoever to do with Halloween!
It’s winter, so don’t kid yourself that it’s still autumn. You might love the “English seasons” but I’ll bet you that there is someone close to you who does not! Enjoy your overcoats and woolly jumpers, but spare a thought for a key player in your life who longs for everlasting sunshine and perpetual summer!
I suppose the good news is that there is a degree of stability on the home front and an element of predictability in emotional relationships, but despite this, there are going to be times when you find yourself feeling very hemmed in an claustrophobic. A partner or very close friend is feeling exactly the same way, so it’s to be hoped that you can get your heads together and do something about it.
There is a legal flavour during the last days of the month in which red tape and beurocracy will ensnare you and take up too much of your time, and this is also a period wherein you’ll be reviewing bank balances and the service (or lack thereof) that you’re getting from your bank. Changes of banks will be an item on your agenda, as will spending on domestic necessities. You’ll be looking for better deals across the board!
A relatively calm and uneventful month could be spoiled if you see your glass as being half empty rather than half full. Therefore, this could be time for a reality check, especially around the 12th or 13th when someone seems to be getting something you don’t have butt would very much like to have. Think of all the times over the last year when it’s been the other way round!
If a partner or spouse seems a bit moody an uncommunicative, cut them some slack and allow for the fact that they have a lot on their mind right now that has got little or nothing to do with their relationship with you. It is their relationship with themselves which is the source of the problem. Some health concerns become relevant around the 19th or 20th and rather than sitting there worrying, go and see your GP and keep taking the pills.
On the subject of “pills” younger female members of the sign should keep taking theirs as they are about to enter a very sexually active period. You are allowed to enjoy the pleasure this brings, but make sure you don’t make silly mistakes.
Although it is still only October, plans for Christmas will come under the spotlight and there will be some disagreements within the family as to what kind of Christmas it should be. If I were you I’d say “stuff the turkey and instead, let’s go to Turkey!”
If Aquarians need to do a reality check, then so do you! Are you getting most of what you want? If the answer is yes, then celebrate what you’ve got without looking for more. However, if the answer is no, it may be time to extract the digit from your rear end and start doing something constructive to change the situation to your advantage. To your surprise, and possibly even your amazement, other people will follow your lead, but first you’ve got to lead!
The 7th, 8th, and 9th are days where communications are all important, and while this might mean a flurry of letters and emails, etc. the other interpretation of “communication” is probably more important: you need to speak your mind clearly and concisely, perhaps draw a couple of red lines in the sand, and be sure that (a) your words are being understood, and (b) you are fully understanding what is being said to you. Anything which is vague and wishy washy needs to be challenged and clarified.
Potentially this could be a time of growth within emotional relationships, but only if the air is cleared and everyone knows where they stand and what is expected of them. New relationships beckon younger members of the sign (still in their teens) but be careful around the 20th and 22nd that you don’t say “no” when you really mean “yes”. Or is it the other way round…?
