Horoscope: October 7, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



As an Aries and a fire sign, you think and move swiftly. But not everybody does, as you’re about to discover. In fact, it seems that one particular individual has far more to say about certain plans than you imagined, and intends to do so now. Listen. You’ll be glad you did.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



It wasn’t your intention to be secretive about certain crucial matters. Still, it’s no surprise others have drawn that conclusion. The problem is, you simply assumed they expected you to deal with everything, so proceeded without talking things through. The individuals in question, however, anticipated they’d share in the decision making process.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Only now are you beginning to recognise what’s behind the difficulties involving timing, and in a bizarre range of situations. The fact is, you’ve developed the habit of trying to fit everything in, more than is possible in any twenty-four hour day. Cut back, when and how you must. The rest will be easy.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



There’s a difference between events being unsettled, if not actually unpredictable, and there being anything to worry about. While what arises over the coming weeks may mean you’re constantly reorganising plans and juggling ideas and offers, what’s coming your way will be so exciting that you’ll have no objections.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Obviously, last minute changes in plans are annoying and, equally, disruptive for others. Yet your instincts are telling you they’re introducing and about vital updates. The trick is to forget about debating their worth but, instead, get involved. The more swiftly you do, the less time you’ll waste on pointless questions at great length.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



In early September the planet of ego and action, Mars, moved into Virgo, triggering an extensive review and the resulting changes. While you’ve achieved a great deal, several remain to be dealt with. Tackle them soon. Ideally, you’ll do it before Mars departs your sign, later this month, on October 22nd.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Pluto may be the planet of truth, but it also accents power struggles. And with several planets forming links with it, over the past week or so, and as you move into mid-October, things are unlikely to be straightforward. Still, persist. What you learn and deal with will be major.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



It’s not until you notice how easygoing others are about asking questions that you realise how cautious you can be about such matters. That may be due to fears that you’ll seem uninformed or even appear to be vulnerable. Actually, it’s the reverse. Those who seek information are always regarded as courageous.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



If life becomes too predictable, you’ll often do something to shake things up. With so much going on in the heavens at the moment, however, you could unwittingly ignore vital details. These may be dull but the more questions you ask, the more you learn about them, and about their significance.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



There’s a fine line between being frank about your both your feelings about certain matters and any practical concerns, and turning those into issues. The real problem is the pressure you’re putting on yourself to make decisions. While it’s true, things are pressing, you still have plenty of time for discussion.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



The focus of your thinking and, as much, what you talk about, both in brief discussions and in longer conversations will shift over the coming weeks. While somewhat unsettling, this is mostly because several of the planetary powerhouses are moving into new positions, and triggering dramatic, but timely, changes.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The move by the fortunate, expansive Jupiter to a new position is part of a cycle of exciting, if sometimes unsettling, change that will unfold between now and the year’s close. Knowing that, when making plans, ensure they’re flexible and, even more, consider which dreams you’d like to see fulfilled.
