Aries
March 21 to April 20
Welcome to a new month. You begin it in determined fashion, with your ruler Mars shining brightly in the charismatic Leo. A bubbly Moon position adds to today’s positive mix, angling really well to the vibrancy of the Sun. Speaking of which, October can be a time of powerful events in your work or business connections, whilst finances can benefit from a rethink.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your ruler Venus is going to be garnering a lot of attention this month, going as she does into her first retrograde for eight years in deep Scorpio. This puts particular emphasis on your relationships, not least because communicator Mercury also rewinds in this area. Single? Someone from your past can come to mind but work hard on your listening skills.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
The Moon in Gemini today speeds past the electric Uranus, so if you wake up feeling you are not just smelling the coffee but have swallowed a cup of cosmic caffeine, you know why. Your mind can be agile, and you deserve to punch through your ideas with conviction, heightened by Mars finding his way into confident Leo. This is a month where details count.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your home and family situation continues to feature strongly throughout the first two-thirds of October. You may find yourself hosting local gatherings, be it a hub for crafting or creating, or a place for other parents to bring their children. Yet a home-based business could also do well. A combination of your supreme management skills and creativity will see you flourish.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
You start this month with a much greater sense of being in the moment and in the mindset to drive your plans forward with conviction and assurance. One area where you can target your energies is property. If you are in the mood to redecorate, refit or relocate, there will be options, and you may have more than one to choose from.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Your ideas sector sparkles brightly in October, Virgo. Don’t underestimate how much people can be drawn to your ideas. Just know, however, that these can be rather fluid. Go with this. The more you discuss and gather information, the more you can evolve them, and in an even more powerful way. Single? A random chat could prove key.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
With the Sun lighting up your inner spark and vitality and Mars giving you the passion and tools to connect and inspire others, there is so much to go for, Libra. Finances can take a turn for the better too, but with your ruler Venus and Mercury set to retrograde this month, keeping a handle on expenditure is also important. Love could get sultry.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Mars is pushing you into the spotlight, whereas the Sun is activating a period of reflection. You could find yourself toggling between both, but equally, the things you do quietly behind the scenes can be just as important as more obvious moves. Your love life gets a once-in-eight-years reset. This could rekindle an existing tie, or a connection to the past.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
That part of you that loves to explore and enjoy life’s rich canvas may initially call out to you this month, Archer, but intriguingly, your inner world is also activated. Blending all this could see you heading off to a peaceful place in nature or with a therapeutic dimension, or else exploring strands of personal development in the comfort of your home.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
If routines have seemed more elusive of late, it may be because some of yours are ripe for a rethink. However, these celestial nudges don’t come through the post – they come when we begin to feel resistance within ourselves or when something that had worked well loses its sparkle. October is a month of review, but also potential reprises. Do keep an open mind.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
An exciting time ahead beckons, Aquarius. As much as we can all have expectations, and an outline of how we’d like or expect things to pan out, just ready yourself for the possibility that it might not quite work out as you imagine. However, this isn’t a bad thing. On the contrary, something you haven’t considered can burst through as an exciting possibility and captivate you.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
If you love travel or learning, they can both feature spectacularly well this month, Pisces. Yet today, you may feel scattered, as intense energies impact your emotional life or domestic routines. This could take the form of unexpected interruptions, difficulty concentrating, or just feeling rather restless. Know that later on this month, you will embrace wider vistas.
