Horoscope October 6, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Don’t be surprised if those you assumed didn’t care much about certain matters suddenly express strong feelings and, quite possibly, take a vigorous stance. While this may demand lengthy discussions, and just when you’re in a rush, what you learn will be so valuable you’ll be glad you took the time.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Certain individuals may say they’re committed to fulfilling their responsibilities. Before you take things further, discuss exactly what that means to them. Not everybody has the same standards you do. Only once you’re clear what you can expect from others should you even think of taking your plans to the next stage.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



If you’re on edge, it’s no surprise. Only recently, you found the antics of certain individuals amusing. Yet as time has passed, you’ve exchanged those feelings for irritation and, increasingly, boredom. Worse, the individual in question is so sensitive that, if you even raise these, you’ll have to be super tactful.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Ordinarily, you’re happy to support those you care about when, and how, you can. But during changeable periods such as this, you’re hesitant about making any commitments. The solution is to include others in the process of change and growth. The more involved they are, the less either of you will worry.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



This is one of those exciting if unsettling months during which what’s best in life is also what’s least expected. While your instincts sense the truth of this, explaining it to somebody who dwells on details or fears sudden change won’t be easy. The solution? Sidestep any such conversations until things are calmer.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



You’ve been struggling, and with issues so confusing you can’t figure out how to sort things out. As a Virgo, you’re especially uncomfortable with struggles that influence your emotional equilibrium yet which you simply don’t understand. That alone bothers you. Go with the flow. Soon it will all make sense.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Obviously, you’d rather organise plans once and be done with it. But with both your ruler Venus and Mars moving into Libra within the next couple of weeks and, importantly, the New Moon in your sign on the 19th, you’ve lots to learn, discuss and discover before you finalise anything.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



No sign is better at sidestepping matters that, for various reasons, need to be ignored. In the case of several of these, you’re waiting for a solution to appear. Actually, you need to reverse your approach, and discuss both your concerns and your questions openly. You’ll be astonished how much you learn.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



In early September the dynamic Mars moved to accent the structure of your life, triggering both questions and changes in your domestic setup and activities out in the world. While you’ve discussed and done a lot, several matters still require attention. Aim to tackle them before the 22nd, when Mars moves on.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Tempting as it is to take action on certain appealing ideas or offers, you’re urged to focus first on what needs to change, if not go. This may seem unwise, but not only will you learn from those existing problematical situations, those that have only just appeared are still coming together.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



On Tuesday the planet that’s all about new ideas, growth and just plain good fortune, Jupiter, moves to accent the structure of your life. This triggers a cycle of growth, some not unexpected but, in the year it’s there, surprises are inevitable. These won’t just be welcome, they’ll add a thrilling new excitement.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Few things are more exasperating than those who turn minor issues into a major drama. Yet you’re on the verge of doing exactly that. The problem is that you feel certain individuals aren’t taking worrying matters seriously. Since your efforts to explain haven’t achieved much, you’re opting for theatrics. It might work.
