ARIES
You are approaching a pivotal point
in a cycle which affects home, work
and close relationships. The focus is
on what makes you feel ‘at home’and there could
be some big changes in the pipeline. You’d be wise
to slow down and question things on a deeper level
or get some expert advice. A brilliant time for some
serious partying or following up on a romantic
interest. You’ll accomplish more in a team than
flying solo providing you are super clear about what
you are doing, who with and why. In Nov: Off with
the old, on with the new.

TAURUS
A more harmonious theme at home
allows you to relax into your space
and design things more to your liking.
Feeling more sociable, you’re willing to offer
the olive branch where necessary but still speak
out on something close to your heart. There’s
more paperwork, communications or toing and
froing likely and this is a good time to ‘sell’
an idea or even write a book! Creative ideas
will take root and begin to flourish over the
months to come. In Nov: Partners need a good
listening to…

GEMINI
Keeping things light is your forte and
you’ll feel valued and supported by
many this month. New ideas could
inspire you and fire your imagination and you’ll
appreciate beauty in your everyday surroundings.
On a deeper level Saturn’s recent move means you’ll
no longer tolerate long-term domestic burdens
or relationships which invade your comfort zone.
Aware that present pleasures may simply paper over
the cracks, it’s likely you’re weighing things up and
wanting to take a new path. Next month you’ll be
getting down to particulars.

CANCER
Safety and stability are always
important and current activities
are centred around reinforcing or
changing the status quo. You’ll feel highly motivated
driving things forward, acting independently where
necessary and standing up for what you believe. In
this busy phase you should take time to listen to the
beat of your own heart, and the wise inner voice.
Nature is your guide, be attentive to her messaging
service - it’s there to support and advise. Keep an
open mind and don’t be blinkered in your thinking.
Next month: Good company.

LEO
Saturn’s recent move puts the focus on
improving material assets, and cultivating
inborn talents. It’s unwise to either overreach
fi nancially or undersell your skills during the coming
months, but strive to stay true to yourself. This month,
Venus makes you attractive to those who could open
doors to improved fi nances and supportive partnerships
or romance. However, its important to be in the right
place at the right time…! Mars in an obscure area of your
chart til next May means working for the higher good using
those developing talents mentioned earlier. Next month:
Home and community.

VIRGO
This is a period of new connections
and increased travel, but patience may
be tested as delays/crossed wires are
possible between the 12th and 24th. The tempo of
daily life accelerates and your mind will be buzzing
with 1st impressions and creative inspirations.
Material security is a key theme, you’ll be weighing
things up but also lightening your load, cleansing
and clearing the space for new growth. Early Virgo’s
should be reprioritising and making changes in
areas which are no longer working. Next month:
Paperwork, discussions and new encounters.

back to top
LIBRA
A high-profi le, sociable period with
a green light to go all out for your
goals. So make a plan and really get
out there. Image or reputation are important and
acting on your own initiative which may actually
mean taking the bull by the horns and making a
decision. Friendships blossom and a new association
could develop into a love relationship. The more you
listen and learn the more doors open. Also, share
your knowledge with others, so push ahead with
confi dence. Efforts now could pay off nicely in the
long run. Next month: Things fiscal.

SCORPIO
An inspirational period, imagination
and enthusiasm are fuelled by a
dream or long-term ambition. Strive to
concentrate on one thing at a time as you are inclined
to scattered thinking or frayed nerves. There may
be a lot of information coming at you but Scorpios
‘know’ best through the gut and not the head! A time
of broader horizons, you’ll be familiarizing yourself
with new situations and fresh ideas. Travel is likely
or long-distance connections. Romance is in there
too or you find a good rapport with someone you
work with. Next month: Teamwork.

SAGITTARIUS
A deeper level of understanding is
gradually dawning and you’re listening
to your body and inner voice more than
before. Self knowledge enables you to make a clearer
distinction between what you wish for yourself and
what others are used to expecting of you. Currently,
an underlying discomfort may only be resolved after
probing the soft under-belly of the situation. As
you’re more in touch with intuition, this is a great
time for spiritual development or imaginative work.
Friendships and group gatherings will be important.
Next month: Working for the higher good.

CAPRICORN
A time to test your comfortable
realities in the fi eld and prove your
effectiveness in the world at large.
Relationships are a strong focus - there could be
some ups and downs in partnerships but once
problems are ironed out they can be productive
in positive ways. A love relationship could really
take off too if you’re looking. Thrashing things
out with friends or advisors can give you a fresh
slant on things but make sure what you aspire to
is really your own. Next month: Interesting new
encounters.

back to top
AQUARIUS
You may be looking at various
strategies or concocting a plan which
could help you achieve your goals or
give you a more lucrative return for your efforts. You’ll
feel enthusiastic about putting ideas and ideologies
into practice and you’ll be learning new skills along
the way. Working hard at sometimes mundane tasks
means you honour your commitments and this will
stand you in good stead later when it’s pay-back time.
Health matters are emphasized and you should stick to
a sensible diet and health routine. Partnerships blossom
and long-distance contacts could be important.

PISCES
There may be something mysterious yet
compelling bubbling up inside you which
demands release. Material matters could
hold you back and you may be seeking a strategy to
underpin a more liberated version of yourself. Its
important to both keep your feet on the ground, and
be experimental. For some, a love relationship is
hotting up and you could be tempted to throw caution
to the wind but make sure you ask the right questions
fi rst! Other associations may test you to the limit and
you may want to renegotiate an old agreement. Next
month: Sealing the deal.
