Horoscope: October 5, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



For ages you’ve been trying to get those who play a significant role in your personal or working life to address one particularly tricky matter frankly. Yet, consistently, they’ve shied away from discussions. Now, finally, they’re ready to tell all. What’s revealed will explain why they were so hesitant to say anything.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Getting to the bottom of certain contentious situations could take longer than you anticipate. While they may seem straightforward now, within days you’ll realise that crucial facts have been either ignored or, in some cases, concealed. Only once you know everything can you proceed to the next stage.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



The issue is timing. You’re brilliant at fitting everything that needs to get done into a day, week or month. Or, until recently, you were. But now certain unrewarding activities are taking up all your time. The real problem is you’ve no idea what to do. The answer? It’s simple. Stop doing them.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Luck appears in many forms. And the fortunate Jupiter moving into the part of your chart that has to do with life’s joys means you’re in for an exciting time. Better yet, because it’s in this position for a year, you’ve plenty of opportunity to explore, and learn about, your options.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



It’s not that you’re unable to speak your mind. It’s that you really dislike disappointing others, so avoid telling them news you know they’d rather not hear. But now you must, simply because those facts will form the foundation for a conversation as powerful as, ultimately, it will prove to be life-changing.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



As a Virgo, you dislike committing to lasting decisions while still short of facts. However, several planets are moving into new positions, including your ruler Mercury and the fortunate Jupiter, and within only a period of two weeks. Consequently you’re urged to organise arrangements now, but in a way changes can be easily made.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Usually the influence of the Full Moon is felt before it takes place. But you seem to be dealing with the fallout from the recent one. That is, perhaps, because it accented certain relationship issues you’d been avoiding. This brought them to a head, which means that you’re finally talking them through.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Living with seemingly unresolvable issues isn’t easy for anybody. But it’s especially difficult for you, as a Scorpio and somebody who has a genuine talent for getting to the bottom of, and resolving, such problems. Be patient. You’re short of facts. Once you know more, the solution will become clear right away.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Although every sign is influenced by Jupiter’s move into a new sign on the 10th, because it’s your ruling planet, this is likely to trigger major changes. While you’ve discussed some, as many are bound to be a big surprise. In fact, what’s least expected could prove best in the long run.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Judging by the planetary activity between now and late October, you’re in for a cycle of, often unsettling, change. Worrying as that may sound, these sudden events are breaking up old patterns, some of which are so familiar you’d almost forgotten you could alter them. It’s now becoming clear that you can.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Just when life was getting a little too predictable, shakeups are occurring, and in situations you’ve regarded as unchanging. While, initially, these developments might seem worrying, once you learn more, you’ll realise they’re exactly what’s been needed, but in a form that simply wouldn’t have crossed your mind.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



As a sensitive Piscean, you try to avoid confronting others who’re already wresting with situations that are upsetting. Yet certain pressing matters really can’t be ignored. The fact is, the issues in question need to be discussed anyway. And the more forthright those discussions are, the better. That being the case that, be bold.
