Your Horoscope for October 2009

Aries (3/21-4/20)

Jupiter goes direct on the 12th making it time to get back into the swing of things. Make use of your hobbies like poetry, art work, reading and visiting museums. A special someone may surprise you with tickets to a play, concert, or sporting event. Get season passes if you can. The fall foliage is lovely and you may take a ride up to New England to enjoy the colors. Don’t get caught up in a whirlwind of social engagements around the 28th. You may exhaust yourself.

Taurus (4/21-5/21)

Jupiter goes direct mid-month so straighten out any misunderstandings with the boss that may have occurred last month. If your professional goals were stalled, consider the break released and you are moving forward. You are on the fast track. After the 14th you may find romance on the job, or at least a new friend to confide in. Watch out for squabbles in the home on the 16th. Listen and compromise. Plan a date with a friend, and dress up, over the Halloween weekend.

Gemini (5/21-6/20)

You now can resume your studies that you have long overlooked. Plan a trip to see the foliage with someone you love around the 14th. Be sure you go to some place exotic so that you both can explore for hours together. Allow your fantasies to call the shots. Exercise will be a priority before the holidays begin. Join a gym with a friend. Dress up in costume for that Halloween party.

Cancer (6/21-7/22)

Investment possibilities in real estate may be to your advantage this month. It can’t hurt to begin researching, but take your time. You may want to move, but you can at least change the décor, for now. After the 14th is the perfect time to paint and redecorate. Go to a meeting in your community and volunteer some time. Your bank account is energized after the 16th. Don’t become an impulsive buyer over the Halloween weekend.

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Expect extra offers for work or a new project after the 4th. You may be restless so take up a new hobby that will push you physically. Don’t overdo now, which is your tendency. Plan a weekend drive to see the fall foliage on the 11th. Family gets your full attention after the 23rd. Get some tickets for the circus at Halloween, so you can all attend. At the end of the month you will finally complete that writing project.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)

Money will start to flow in from many directions after the 4th Virgo. Don’t overdo it—keep to your budget and you’ll find great bargains. Some work opportunities that have been brewing since last spring will begin to manifest after the 16th. You will finally have time to take your diet and exercise plan seriously. Join a gym or buy a piece of exercise equipment. Halloween brings fun and treats, but you must get serious and begin to plan your holiday spending carefully.

Libra (9/23-10/22)

Not an easy month for you Libras. Even though much of the focus for October will be on self-improve-ment, you may also have to deal with financial issues. After the 3rd you will feel quite competitive. Suddenly you may want to find a new way to boost your income. Libras like to spend money on lovely things, but at this time you are more interested in security. Starting a savings account or opening a CD for retirement gives you a feeling of security and permanance. At Halloween, cut back on your spending for the treats.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)

You and your family may be on completely different schedules around the 9th. Plan a date night and stick to it, no matter what. After the 12th you may want to paint or rearrange the furniture in your home to have more space. Buy a gadget that will make your life easier. After the 24th put some time aside to draw, paint, make music, or write poetry. Work may be more satisfying than usual after the 16th. You could turn your hobby into a serious money making pursuit.

Sagittarius

Work organizations that you believe in bode well after the 9th. Get involved with something you believe in and make a difference. The 12th brings a reunion with old friends. It’s a good time to do some research on the internet, and locate old classmates you lost touch with. Try your hand at writing, photography, or other hobbies you’ve been too busy to explore. After the 29th your time may be freed up, so enjoy that Halloween party with friends.

Capricorn (12/22-1/19)

You have quite a few financial challenges to deal with in October. This may involve the money you hold or owe to others. This may feel like an attempted raid on your personal piggy bank, perhaps by someone under the impression you owe him or her money. However, these energies indicate someone bent on collecting from you is acting impulsively, and often has not checked the facts and figures before speaking to you. Be firm in demanding paperwork before you even consider paying out any funds!

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)

You have a bit of conten-tious energy to deal with over the next few months. Jupiter’s turning direct in your sign gives you strength in dealing with a flood of various demands from a partner, who needs to be handled in a very careful manner. This Jupiter energy can be benevolent and kind or it can be arrogant and haughty. Go with the former in a conscious way, Aquarius. This is definitely the time to cultivate a positive attitude, and to let it show to anyone who seems determined to give you trouble. A little good cheer goes a long way in turning potentially large problems into little tiny ones.

Pisces (2/19-3/20)

Now that fall is here you are apt to concentrate on long-term goals rather than personal concerns. Between the 15th and the 22nd you have the energy you need to bring a financial goal to fruition. If you are trying to get a supervisor or boss to notice your abilities, you know how to play the social and political game in order to make it work. You feel your ambition well-fueled all month, Pisces. Halloween brings fun and work, both at the same time. Enjoy!
