YOUR MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

STARS October 2008

By Yasmin Boland

MOON REPORT

New Moon in Libra on September 29 at 6.12pm AEST This New Moon should increase everyone’s confidence. However, don’t make the mistake of being so sure of yourself this month (of a job, a romance) that you get arrogant and blow the whole deal! Full Moon in Aries on October 15 at 6.02am AEST Don’t block the flow of change in your life now. This Full Moon is all about letting go so progress can happen.

STAND OUT DATES FOR October

October 1 – a day to take action. October 5 – perfect for some “afternoon delight” (yes, that kind). October 6 – ‘less is more’ in discussions tonight. October 7 – promises made now will last. October 9 – turnarounds are possible re love and money. October 14 – don’t kid yourself! October 16 – Mercury changes directions and life starts to make more sense. October 26 – quit while you’re ahead.

A MONTH TO …

Get someone to sign on the dotted line. Make a commitment. Be honest if you’ve been hurt. Stop thinking and start acting. Push the “restart” button on your romantic life.

SIGNS

ARIES

Everything starts to make more sense … where your closest one-to-one relationships are concerned. For some Aries, you know you’ve finally connected with a soul mate. For others, existing romances have new life breathed into them. For others still, the constant mix ups and misunderstanding prove too much to take and you know it’s time ‘to clear the old out to make way for the new’!

TAURUS

 Everything starts to make more sense … at work. At last. If your daily life has had you mesmerised with confusion, if your job description feels like it’s been on a roller coaster, if your daily grind has been more confusing than satisfying, the good news is that everything should start to smooth out by mid-month. Start to implement the work plans you’ve been secretly hatching.

GEMINI

Everything starts to make more sense … in relation to what you think about a child (your own or someone else’s), a romance or a creative project you’ve been working on. If you’ve had a sort of blockage or felt a bit stuck, you should find that shifts now. Confusion with your partner should end. Nothing is quite set in stone yet, however, so keep the communication channels open.

CANCER

Everything starts to make more sense … re home and family. By the end of October, you should have a clearer idea about what the Universe has in store for you in these areas. Meanwhile, allow your intuition to guide you. Family feuds can end now if you and the other people involved are serious about making a peace pact. Wanting to move house/city? The skies support you.

LEO

Everything starts to make more sense … all-round! Around October 15, prepare to breathe a sigh of relief – you should no longer feel like you’re talking a different language to the rest of the world. If you’re reading this at the start of October, the key to getting to the end of the month with all your relationships intact is to see the funny side of the mayhem headed your way!
 

VIRGO

Everything starts to make more sense … where money is concerned. Virgos are natural worriers and having worry-wart Saturn in your sign is not helping. However by mid-October you should find that most of your questions about cash, property and possessions have finally been answered. Don’t allow anyone to rush you into a $$$ decision before that if you’re seriously not ready.
 

LIBRA

Everything starts to make more sense … in nearly every part of your life. No kidding. Until mid-October, expect to have to contend with plans which go pear-shaped, people who can’t communicate properly and endless frustrations (let’s tell it like it is!) After October 16, though, everything starts to fall into place and you can see why you had to go through all. (Sort of!)
 

SCORPIO

Everything starts to make more sense … re those scary thoughts that’ve been keeping you up at night. Very annoyingly (but no doubt for some Very Good Cosmic Reason) the October Mercury retrograde cycle stirs up some old fears in you. But life is too short for angst! Remember this; lots of things only happen once. October’s all about releasing an old fear so you can live more freely.

SAGITTARIUS

 Everything starts to make more sense … re your friends. Expect to have more than your fair share of misunderstandings with your mates in the first two weeks of October as Mercury reverses through your Friends Zone. This isn’t meant to be a negative self-fulfilling prophecy, it’s designed to remind you not to lose your (innate) cool with those around you, even if your patience is sorely tested.

CAPRICORN

Everything starts to make more sense … at work. We all know how much Capricorns love their work – or at least are always searching for a job to make them feel they’re really contributing. Try to stay calm if there are minor hitches and even mini-disasters in the first half of October. Unless you lose your cool, the resulting dramas really should have little long-term impact.
 

AQUARIUS

Everything starts to make more sense … as you start to see life’s bigger picture. 2008 has been a roller coaster for many Aquarians, thanks to the eclipses in your sign. The bumpiest part of the ride is now over and October brings you a chance to step back and get a better perspective re where recent events have left you. Take a moment to readjust your mind-set.
 

PISCES

Everything starts to make more sense … where sex and money are concerned – but not until the end of the month. Everything you’ve done in 2008 has been about learning lessons from, and doing good things for others, carrying them through the rough times and generally being a good citizen. As your sex life and finances improve now, it looks like your good karma’s kicking in.
