This month planetary movements to keep an eye on:

- Full moon: October 7th in Aries (Supermoon)

- New moon: October 21st in Libra

AQUARIUS (20th January - 18th February)

Although the month may not start off on a high note, the good news is that it does improve as the month progresses. The first two weeks is all about family and making time for their needs over your own. Be ready to change schedules with little to no warning. After the 21st, you should be able to make more time for you. Financially, things are actually improving during this month so it should be safe to start your Christmas shopping if you haven't already done so. Health needs are mild during October although a little extra sunscreen would not go a stray! Overall, a busy yet pleasant month should lay ahead for you Aquarius'.

PISCES (19th February - 20th March)

October seems to be a rather deep and reflective month for you. Make sure you take the time to nurture yourself and start to set some healthy personal boundaries. Intuition is running high and you would do well to listen to your inner voice. Health issues are more about finding creative solutions to existing situations rather than any new problems surfacing. When in doubt of a path to safely take it's time to get back to your basics. Career wise, there are some lovely moments ahead with a clearer and relatively easier path visible after the 18th. Finances are not going to be as drained as they may have been last month but they may be slow to grow, so reduce spending where possible.

ARIES (21st March - 20th April)

This is shaping up to be a rather awesome month for you. The planets will give you a boost of spontaneity and confidence which you should use to your full advantage. Career doors should be opening after the 14th with promotions or new projects which will help to speed you up the workplace ladder. Do not be afraid to take a leap of faith in your abilities! Finances are also looking very good with more than just a little luck playing on your side especially after the 20th. Health issues should be minor as well. If you were thinking about upgrading cars, phones, laptops or homes, then this is the month to get the best deals as you can sweet talk them all down in price with a flash of a smile and a twinkle in your eye. Go on, enjoy the magic this month and be brave!

TAURUS (21st April - 20th May)

This month will be a time of growing and maturing for you. Emotionally, you will be asked to release what no longer serves you on the 7th and start planning a clean, fresh slate. This month, take things slowly - no sudden decisions or impulsive moves. Budgets need to be strictly kept to start with in October so that you can afford to splurge a little after the 23rd. Honest communications will be necessary with family members or friends who have crossed a line. By the 18th, you may be feeling a little stifled but it is important that you do not ruin any progress that you may have made. However, health needs to be made a priority during October.

GEMINI (21st May - 20th June)

October does seem to be a rather busy month for you Geminis. Many will finalise long term plans and see the end of long term contracts. Socially, there appears to be a bit of a buzz around you with many different social opportunities presenting themselves - time to start expanding your social haunts! For those that are single, time to take a little chance on new love. Finances seem strong with extra flowing in due to hard work and creativity. The extra effort you put in this month should be rewarded well, so get those creative juices flowing. Health overall is pretty good but make sure to pace yourself so that you don't burn out.

CANCER (21st June - 20th July)

October may start a little slowly and you may be feeling a little fuzzy headed, but by the 18th this should have worn off. Keep to the plans and strategies that you know, rather than introducing anything new until after this date. Perhaps keep the first half of the month for planning things rather than implementing them for best results. After the 18th, manifestation abilities should be on the rise with wonderful opportunities, both financially and socially, appearing around the corner. Learning how to set limits and say no could be the most difficult thing you have to do all this month but it will be worth it.

LEO ( 21st July - 21st August)

Although this month starts off with some nice financial opportunities, it is definitely one of those months where you will need to work hard and earn your rewards both financially and socially rather than get them gifted to you. Expect tardiness from others, especially when you are time poor. Important decisions could be discussed around the 6th that relate to your long term happiness so make the time to listen and be prepared for honest communication of your feelings. For the creatives out there, expect a rush of inspiration around the 22nd that could yield great results if followed through. This is the month to re-evaluate where you are heading and how you are progressing, and be prepared to create personal boundaries or tweak some of your long term goals.

VIRGO (22nd August - 22nd September)

Mark my words, October is going to test you in most areas of your life. Cracks in relationships could widen under Saturn's gaze which will require some clear communication skills and boundary setting in order to mend them. Many relationships may not survive the scrutiny if the effort is not put into it. Around the 6th, do not loan or invest any money that you are not prepared to lose. Dissatisfaction in the working situation could have you looking for new employment. But now is not the time to jump from one job to another without proper research or you could be disappointed. However, all this month is not doom and gloom, around the 26th, things seem to be changing for the better. It appears the wheel of life has turned for you Virgos and a period of abundance and luck is set to strike. Make the most of any opportunities that may arise during this time. A lot of difficulties are behind you after the 26th and the future is looking good!

LIBRA (23rd September - 22nd October)

October for you is all about finding your feet and internal balance. Expect a lot of interactions with spirit guides, mentors and gurus to set you on your path. Setting long term goals now will help you enormously and for those of you who already have vision boards, check to see if it needs to be altered or tweaked before the 16th. Learning and study of any kind will go along way to achieving those goals. Socially, you may need to push yourself a little out of your comfit zone but it will be worth the effort. Singles could find their new 'best friend'. Personal growth should be your priority right now. For those about to sign contracts or join forces with others, the 21st is the most favourable day to do so.

SCORPIO (23rd October - 22nd November)

This month is not a bad one when it come to self honesty. Unhealthy pattens can be addressed around the 14th for better, long term results. New skills could be identified and a sense of confidence and positivity could ensue. Socially, there are some pleasant interactions indicated if you are prepared to venture to new territories. Those that are in long distance relationships may need to organise a catch up before month end to renew the passion and clarify the relationships direction. All the karma points you gather during this month could result in a pleasant reward at month end! The only fly in the ointment is the possible irritation caused by a member of your local community, remember patience and virtue has its own rewards. For those considering investing in bricks and motor, now may be a good time for you to start looking.

Crystal for the month: Bronzite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Octopus

SAGITTARIUS (23rd November - 20th December)

Overall this month is not too bad for you. For the first two weeks, it is all very much about external situations and interactions. Work appears to be fairly busy and patience will be needed with colleagues that are working at different speeds. Networking and problem solving will be high on your agenda and once again, you will do it with ease and impress those around and above you. Do not be surprised if you receive an external, unsolicited job offer which you will have to think carefully on. The last half of this month is more focused on personal needs and requirements. Communication and honesty will be all important. Relationships could be challenging on the 28th so take care. An unexpected windfall could arrive during this month, but if it does: bank it don't spend it just yet.

Crystal for the month: Fluorite

CAPRICORN (21st December - 19th January)

October may not be the smoothest of months to start with but it definitely has some potential . Friendships may come under the spotlight around the 14th with some deciding to part ways. Finances will need to be managed carefully with some larger purchases needing to be made. Health will need to be monitored carefully especially regarding blood pressure or heart related issues. By the 27th, things should start to smooth out and become easier as more money overall should start flowing in and health issues seem to subside. Focus on group work or cooperation and collaboration as the way to further your career and create new networks.
