October horoscope: Here’s how to grow your career, finances and find love

Work

One of Libra’s strongest assets is their speech and irresistible charisma. These strengths play out well this month, especially in deal making or in closing out a sale. However, you must be careful as your intentions towards colleagues may end up misunderstood. Workplace flirtations can easily get out of hand and it is important that you don’t let yourself end up in hot water. Interactions can be friendly, but always keep an air of professionalism and make sure you are being clear. This is also a good time to consider re-allocating resources or tightening up the company budget. Look carefully through the current layout, you might be able to save some resources by cutting down in some areas.

Romance

The confidence from last month oozes out into this month. October promises to be a sexually charged and passionate month. Both attached and single Libras find greater success and progressiveness in love. Petty arguments are often quickly forgotten, bedroom passions run high and both of you are open towards new exciting ideas either of you may have. Some healthy competition within a relationship can really spice things up as well. So it is encouraged that you take part in activities together that can challenge the both of you. New couples might fare better working as a team. As long as you are both together, any mundane activity can become fun and exciting.

Health

After your month of solitary enjoyment, Libras may find themselves more attuned to their spiritual sides. Emotionally and mentally, you are stronger than ever. This may be a good time to consider tackling one of your fears or tying up an emotional conflict or loose end. Everyone has baggage, but now is the time where you can finally make peace with yours. Scheduling a counselling session or at least admitting that you were hurt and you should forgive yourself can be vital first steps. Getting closer to nature can also be a wonderful idea for Libra’s health this month. Meditation, dream therapy, picnics and outdoor sports like jogging are avenues to consider.   

Finances

Venus retrogrades this month. Finances may not be as clear cut or as smooth this month. You may have to work extra hard to close a deal or obtain a loan for yourself. Everything seems to be taking its own sweet time to clear up or finish, which can leave you frustrated. Be careful of deals that sound too good to be true, they often are. It may pain you to have to turn them down, but it’s probably for the best. Despite the haziness of October, Libra may be able to save themselves some money by tightening up the budget and cutting back this month. Keep an eye out for opportunities to rearrange your financials.

‘Many people receive advice, only the wise profit from it.’. You will have to be ‘wise’ this month Scorpio. Now is the time to seek out the advice from others, especially those older and more established than you in the industry. However, don’t look down on those under or at the same level as you. Their own advice and viewpoints on how you work may also be invaluable. Scorpio will have to focus on preening their appearance and presence this month as well. Both your looks and your words will matter a great deal. This is also a good time for examinations or tests. However, you must adopt a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ attitude.

Romance

Scorpios are known as one of the most intellectual signs and this month you are really using your head when it comes to romance. Single Scorpios approach love like it’s a poker match.

Attached Scorpios will be able to approach their relationships with an objective mind. Arguments or issues that have been lingering around in the air suddenly seem more clear. You will be able to bring them up and resolve them more easily with your partner. So make sure you have the time to approach those conversations.

Health

As said before, Scorpios have a clear and intellectually tuned mind this month. This is true even when it comes to their own physical health. Trust you head, you are aware of your body and what to do should issues arise. However, you may also find that acts of charity and good deeds will do better for your emotional health and even physical health more than any new diet or regime. However, it is still a good time to consider taking up a new diet or exercise routine. Any step you take towards improving on your physical health will pay off well this month. Especially at a time when others tend to neglect their health.

Finances

Now is a good time to consider drafting up new plans and budgets for next year. You can never plan too far ahead. Especially with Scorpio’s keen sense and observant nature, it is a good time to consider forecast planning for next year. Look over your current budget and organizational structure, do you intend to keep it the same or make changes according to the forecast next year? Having an extra set of eyes and another opinion can also help you greatly this month. It is a good idea to have your accountant or advisor present when you are in need of suggestions or help.

Work

Sagittarius may find a hard time trying to reign themselves in this month. You have a tendency to go overboard, either with your promises, work or estimations. Sometimes, you may give more information than necessary and this can give your competitors an advantage over you. Set limits to how much you want others to see your cards. It is important to bite your tongue. It may be more difficult this month as you feel especially restless. Routine or repetitive work will bore you. You will find much more success in work that allows you to socialize with people or go out into the field to do your own investigations. This makes journalistic work and marketing research favored this month.

Romance

Sagittarius may want to lay low this month when it comes to romance. Any single disagreement or dispute can become a full blown argument. Compromise suddenly becomes an ugly words. Both attached and single Sagittarians will easily butt heads with those that disagree with them. However, you may find a hot spark with anyone who’s views  align with your own and a deep conversation about the topic can go on for hours. Attending political debates or other similar clubs is good for finding like minded individuals and your best chance for pursuing a relationship. Still, you must not become too unmoving. Learn to give into your partner a little or at least, avoid arguments until this month is over.

Health

People may come to you seeking advice or help for their own issues. You can give your opinion, however, it is important you avoid getting involved yourself. As action-orientated Sagittarius is, you must avoid getting yourself tangled up in other people’s messes. Another thing you should avoid is unhealthy foods and alcohol. Many signs are vulnerable to forming bad habits concerning the two, this month, and Sagittarius isn’t safe. For you, you may use unhealthy snacking in order to make up for exhaustion or even boredom. Find healthier alternatives such as fruits or nuts, but more importantly figure out what is really causing you your stress or craving. You may be able to solve your problems without reaching for something to eat.

Finances

Money may be an issue brought up in your household or relationship. You may find a majority of arguments arise over financial matters. It is better to try and avoid them until this month is over. If not, then it may be best to assign fair, but individual budgets. That way you can both deal with monetary issues separately instead of dipping into a joint account. You are firm in your decisions right now and will not likely be influenced by others. You want to be in control of your finances, but may cause conflict when you disagree with others. The moon waxing from the 8th to the 24th makes this a good time for pursuing new ventures.

Gemini has often been blessed with an innate sense and gut instinct. Nowhere more than this month is this instinct more prominent or important. You feel as if you can see through almost everyone in your workplace and you will not be so easily taken advantage of. You may feel underappreciated or that your efforts are not being recognised enough. However, do not always blame others for this. Sometimes you may need to look within to see where you could improve on yourself and make sure you stand out above the crowd. Falling back to organisational and delegating roles may be the best bet for you this month. Make sure you are where people can see you.

Look out Gemini, the passions and sexual intensity return this month. Single and even attached Gemini may focus on simpler and one note relationships, though a part of you still craves a deeper emotional connection.

If you are only looking to have a fun time, you will find it, but if there are deeper psychological issues at hand. You should confront them instead of continuing to avoid and play around them. You may be nervous, but having the conflict out in the open is better than in the silence.

Health

Be careful this month Gemini, you may be prone to giving into your cravings and unhealthy foods. Even the most mundane reasons such as being bored may have you reaching for the bag of chips or a bubbly sugar drink. One trick to cut down on sugar and snack foods is to stock up on fruits and nuts instead when you start feeling any cravings. Almonds and apples can replace chips and sweets. You should also consider addressing the issues that may be leading you to indulge in your cravings. Mediation and positive body love can be great ways to get yourself into the right state of mind. Once you are in that state, those cravings may simple disappear.

Finances

As much as you’d like to, you cannot be everywhere or do everything at once. Thus, this is a good month to consider using your finances to outsource some work or buy more labour.

You may be able to spot a new trend before it reaches peak popularity or jump onto the latest technology bandwagon before it takes off. Your mind is as sharp as knives, so put it to use this month to weed out what your competitors may not see.
