October 1.
Aries

A more sociable month is ahead for you, dear Aries. You're certainly more
animated and self-expressive in October, as you leave work worries behind you.
In fact, work improves, although there is truly nothing trivial or light with
regards to career these days. An opportunity for friendship from a surprising
source is likely on the 3-4, when a Full Moon in your sign stirs up emotional
excitement. Relationships can be formed or strengthened on the 12-13 and 28-31,
but be aware that there is a building tension between your attention to career
and a close partnership.
Taurus

Work matters are in strong focus for you in October, dear Taurus. You're also
more concerned about your health and considering stepping up a fitness routine.
There is a building tension, however, surrounding your attention to the more
routine matters in your life and your need to move beyond the ordinary and
mundane. Troublesome romantic matters are cleared up, and a new sense of
purpose, or at least a new plan or resolution, is in place by the 12-13. Renewed
energy for home improvement is enjoyed from mid-month, and you enter a more
sociable phase from the 23rd.
Gemini

A very sociable, lighthearted, and playful period in your life begins this
month, particularly from the 10th forward. While last month you may have been
cocooning a little, you're coming out of your shell in October and determined to
have some fun. Nevertheless, you're entering a period in which casual love
affairs are more demanding of your time and energy, and the question of whether
to become more serious or to let go is building. Home life seems to be
improving, ironically as you focus on it less. The last week of the month is
busy and perhaps demanding when it comes to work and communications.
Cancer

The first two weeks of October remain strong for pushing personal projects
ahead, dear Cancer, after which you begin to wind down and efforts to make
yourself feel comfortable and secure are emphasized. The 3-4 brings an opportunity for
higher learning or travel, as well as a fruition of an important business
project. This month is very active on the home front. Tension is building
between domestic matters and one-to-one relationships, and finding a balance is
something you'll be striving for. Impulse buys are something to watch for.
Leo
October
might be an especially busy and even hectic month for you, dear Leo. You are
experiencing a growing awareness that you need to pay attention to building your
skills set in order to improve your work output or value, but finding the time
to do so is an issue. Your commitments to work and your need to run errands,
learn, and network are both pressing, and finding a balance is necessary. The
9-12 is a strong period for romantic relationships and/or creative projects.
Watch for stress affecting your relations with others on the 28-31.
Virgo

Changes in your life have been intense recently, dear Virgo, and this month new
priorities are emerging as you restructure and begin a new phase in your life.
One of these priorities is attention to finances, which are mostly strong.
However, there is a building awareness that you need to pay more attention to
budgeting and paring down frivolous or otherwise unnecessary expenses in order
to save more and consequently feel more secure and in control of your money. As
Saturn moves out of your sign at the end of October, you begin to feel
re-energized and considerably more light-hearted.
Libra

October is a strong month for you, dear Libra, in which your own personal needs,
desires, and projects assume more importance. As you take a stronger, more
assertive, and more independent stance, awareness of challenges from, and
responsibilities to, a partner and family increase. In the next few years,
you'll be especially aware of family dynamics--past and present--and how they
are affecting your self-image today. Breaking free from past conditioning is a
theme. The 3-4 brings possible relationship tests, but also rewards, and
strengthening of ties on the 13-14. Towards the end of October, focus shifts to
security, finances, and comfort matters.
Scorpio

For the most part, October is a time of repose, of tying up loose ends, and
perhaps letting go, dear Scorpio. However, career matters are dynamic, busy, and
strong from mid-month. You are feeling considerably more ambitious when it comes
to professional matters. Sensitive issues or secrets are coming to light this
month, and should be handled with care. The last week of the month brings a
strengthening of personal spirit as well as increased focus, energy, and
confidence. New responsibilities and commitments are presenting themselves, and
you feel confident about taking them on.
Sagittarius

October is a powerful month for you, dear Sagittarius, as your ruler, Jupiter,
begins to move direct on the 13th, and taskmaster Saturn is moving out of its
challenging position to your Sun. The past months have been anything but light,
and you are bound to feel more confidence, energy, and conviction now. By
mid-month, your confidence in pushing matters forward and asking for what you
want from life increases by leaps and bounds. Romantic connections and
friendships tend to be supportive. Close personal relationships are friendlier
as well, particularly on the 20-23.
Capricorn

Responsibilities and accountability are big themes in your life in October, dear
Capricorn. It's a very busy month for career and professional matters, public
exposure, and attention to business. What you do and say has significant impact
this month. Tensions are building involving your own ability to take the lead
and to manage others. It's a time of proving your worth, and you're likely to
shine under this pressure. Domestic matters need special attention on the 3-4,
and improved relations or conditions in this area of your life are the goal.
Aquarius

October is a mostly happy and energetic month for you, dear Aquarius. The 3-4 is
good for promotions or pay increases. Mid-month is a strong time for pushing
forward with personal plans, particularly for presenting your ideas and matters
related to learning or teaching. In the last week of the month, you'll be paying
considerable more attention to both career and close personal relationships.
Saturn moves into a pleasing trine to your Sun at this time as well, and you'll
find it begins a new trend in which meeting your responsibilities not only comes
naturally, it also feels good!
Pisces

This month, money matters, particularly regarding money owed or shared, are big
themes for you, dear Pisces. Support from others, from friends, and business
loans are in focus and possibly a source of stress this month. Partnership
matters improve, and you might even feel as if a weight has lifted from you in
this area of life. However, relationships are not without intensity now. The
need for new depths of intimacy becomes increasingly clear this month. Career
matters begin to move forward after a period of seeming standstill or
stagnation.
