HOROSCOPES
The future revealed: your essential guide to OCTOBER By PETER WATSON
LIBR A^
24 September – 23 October
Nobody could blame you for wanting to get to grips with practical
matters requiring some investment on your part. That does not
mea n, however, t hat you shou ld be ex pec ted to ba nk roll t his whi le
relatives or compa nions ma ke no contr ibution t hemselves. The
sooner you raise your objections – politely, but firmly – the better.
LUCKY DAY 28th – barriers are lifted and your views meet no resistance.
SCOR PIO^
24 October – 22 November
Before tackling a delicate issue with a friend or family member,
make sure you’ve checked the facts. It would be all too easy to create
shock waves by misinterpreting what has been said, or misquoting
the other person concerned. Mercury opposing Uranus warns
against initiating a potentially touchy discussion on a whim.
LUCKY DAY 23rd – light is shone on areas in which you’ ll make progress.
SAGIT TA R IUS
23 November – 21 December
At first, you might not enjoy being part of a group of like-minded
people planning an event or trip. You’ll think you would prefer
your own company and nobody else’s. But, after further
consideration, you will realise you stand to get far more out of it
by being sociable, which could be a theme for the entire month.
LUCKY DAY 7th – you’ ll have a willing audience when you need it most.
CAPR ICOR N
22 December – 20 January
Drawn though you might be to an ambitious project, you will
gradually become aware of the many responsibilities and irritations
as well as the benefits. You must weigh these up very carefully, as
a Sun-Saturn clash is warning you not to assume you can enhance
your reputation without putting in a huge amount of effort.
LUCKY DAY 15th – restrictions placed on you unfairly will ease.
AQUA R I US
21 January – 19 February
Exciting journeys or ventures will appeal enormously. But you
w i ll not be able to entirely aba ndon professiona l or fina ncia l issues,
on which you must have a say. It’s impor ta nt, t herefore, t hat you let
everyone know that you’re never far away and that you certainly
don’t expect them to take key decisions in your absence.
LUCKY DAY 3rd – rather than feel tied to one spot, you’re on the move.
PISCES
20 February – 20 March
Exploring new ideas will strengthen your academic or emotional
resources. However, you must listen when a confidante hints that
you’re becoming slightly obsessive about it. Knowing when to
exercise sel f-restra int is cr ucia l. You cou ld a lso distrac t yoursel f
by concentrating on areas in which you could make money.
LUCKY DAY 17th – two allies speaking with one voice provide answers.
ARIES
21 March – 20 April
Important matters need to be discussed with a partner or loved
one. Make a start before mid-October, when the Sun’s tie-up with
Jupiter should help you collect your thoughts and express them
in a clear and considerate manner. You have no doubt avoided
this kind of confrontation in the past and mustn’t do so again.
LUCKY DAY 4th – by initiating a serious debate, you get what you want.TAURUS
21 April – 21 May
Long-held doubts and fears about your abilities within a particular
field mustn’t be allowed to plague you any longer. Somebody
influential will set you a challenge to which you must rise and,
in doing so, put on display the best version of yourself. Once
you begin to have faith in your talents, everybody else will too.
LUCKY DAY 14th – analytical thinking gives you a firmer grasp of problems.GEMINI
22 May – 21 June
Putting all your energies into run-of-the-mill tasks and duties will
achieve a great deal and bring peace of mind. You must also have
the time and space in which to indulge yourself in a way that’s
ra rely possible. A n inv itation or suggestion coming your way
from 4 October onwards must be taken very seriously indeed.
LUCKY DAY 27th – moving forwards after feeling stuck lifts your spirits.CA NCER
22 June – 23 July
Once you’ve unearthed and processed sensitive material, you must
refuse to let it impinge on your closest relationship. Try to remember
that the past has been and gone, and that whatever is occurring
between yourself and this special individual is what counts. There’s
such a thing as probing too deeply and regretting it soon afterwards.
LUCKY DAY 13th – self-confidence replaces insecurities of the past.LEO
24 July – 23 August
The feeling of being put upon is unlikely to go away, especially with
Pluto antagonising Venus. But don’t protest too vigorously. Instead,
communicate your concerns to whoever is involved and make it
clear you would like the two of you to work together to improve the
situation. Being collaborative rather than defensive is the answer.
LUCKY DAY 21st – bills or budgets will cease to be a no-go zone.V IRGO
24 August – 23 September
Recent events have given rise to some existential anxiety in others,
and perhaps in yourself. Be open to information arriving, quite
unexpectedly, from unusual sources, and be prepared to wander
into un fa mi lia r ter r itor y. This pha se in your li fe shou ld a llow you
to come to terms with some of the big, unanswered questions.
LUCKY DAY 2nd – major obstacles are no longer the problem they were.For weekly updates, visit http://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/culture/horoscopes.
