Horoscopes for October

It's time for you to leave your past behind. Life has a way of forcing you to come to terms with who you really are, so be fearless about expressing yourself. You may feel that your private life, your family and home demand your full attention, so give in. Home is where you should be most yourself, right,? And it is where your heart is, or should be. Think about that, and expect to encounter some life changing experiences from now till the end of the year.~ Deborah

Happy Birthday Libra! (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your Month:  Get ready: Now you get a new beginning, and especially a new way of earning money. During October you guys cannot survive on the status quo, no matter how hard you try to hold on to it; from now on all changes are good changes. To come out on top, your business needs new ideas, new activities, and a new direction.You can talk co-workers into selling ice to Eskimos this month, so be careful what you ask from them; you don't need to sell out your principles (or theirs) just to get what you want. And try to remember this: If you feel forced by your partner to make changes, it's probably an indicator that you need to. For you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Even though you are generally a behind-the-scenes kind of person, your family circumstances force you out front and in the center of things this month. This keeps you a little pre-occupied and distracted, just when powerful career changes demand your complete attention. To facilitate the improvements in personnel at work, you need to keep calm. Scorpio, you are at the extreme and highly effective end of the Zodiac. When you appear self-managed and controlled, everyone thinks you're great, intelligent, organized, and relaxed. If you erupt at the drop of a hat you make others a bit anxious. To say the least.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Be on the lookout for a silver platter, with a new venture or chance to perform, just handed to you on it. Maybe it seems odd or different or not what you were looking for or expecting at all but it'll be the trigger for good stuff to happen, so take the chance. Because of this, there may be a few who act envious, aggressive and small about your good fortune. And the better you do, the more confrontational these people will be. Try to stay away from them and don't even attempt to overcompensate. You're awesome. Keep going.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) it probably seems counter-intuitive to feel like your career is making you absolutely bat-s#%t crazy and also that it's absolutely rocking, but that's October in a nutshell. You should look back on what you've achieved so far and be satisfied: What you have now is exactly what you've earned. If it's good, you should actually be proud. You know that you've done an outstanding job so far. If you don't like what you see, make some radical changes. Reconnect with any sources of shared income, get back to your dreams, and pay attention to what's going on inside your own head. That's really where the action is.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) There is a saying: "Those who like religion, politics, or sausage should not watch them being made" and this month that advice is really true. Stay out of politics completely, no matter where they are. Work only with partners and co-workers who are totally sincere, and make that the standard for all new connections, too. Find ways to do your work alone and in isolation, because you achieve so much more when you're left to your own devices. It may be hard at first, but you might discover you actually prefer working alone. Regardless, October indicates that you need serenity to perform well.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) From October to December you'll be like Jed Clampett in the old show " the Beverly Hillbillies." A bullet from his rifle struck oil as he shot at a possum.. He certainly didn't plan on becoming a millionaire, he had no job skills in the oil and gas business, and he even had to change his residence. But he was willing. He was open to change, even though he wasn't sure how it would play out. If you can't remember this show, or never saw it, you can still learn about October from his example. Go on. Go for it.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) Are you feeling concerned about the past? October is the month to let it go. There is nothing you can do about any of your past errors in money, associations, your personal life, or even wellness. Let it all go. Remember the old Bible story about Lot's wife: she was running forwards her new future but stopped for a look at her past, and that was that. She froze in her tracks as a pillar of salt. The message is clear for you for the rest of this year. When you make the decision to change, to move forward and leave your past behind, don't look back. Don't worry about the past. Don't stop. Just keep moving forward to your new future.

Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21) In 'Trent's Fourteen Money Rules", he writes: "If there is a single rule that underlies everything I’ve written about on the simple dollar, it’s this simple sentence--spend less than you earn." So, now you know--You really need to be economically smart in October. If you don't have one in place already, create a serious savings program and a strategy for your future. Don't put it off, and don't let your friends convince you to spend more money than you actually have, at least until all your debts are cleared up. And be sure to save as well. A little at a time adds up.

Gemini (May 22-June 20) You win--you guys get to have the best month! October delivers some serious love. An event triggers an insane flurry of romantic activity and if you're single, this new connection will make the trip as important and interesting as the destination. If you're already in a committed relationship, feel free to create the relationship you want now as you go forward into the rest of this year and into the next. You're entitled to love, you deserve it. You may definitely discover what you've been looking for, so just go for it. Be strong and shameless; ask, connect and be wonderful. Something to keep in mind: You will need to split from all past connections, especially romantic ones. Nothing good can come of them now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) October is going to be amazing and exciting regarding love (and anything that you love), so go ahead and do it the way you Cancerians love to do it: Go deep. Your connections with others are intuitive, exotic and a little religious, no matter which arena you're playing in. Be open and friendly with the connections you already have, and also the new friends you make this month. If you're single and have faith in true love, someone you can believe in may magically appear. Regardless of what you've gone through in the past, or how many times you feel you've been fooled, please, this month, have a positive mind-set and look to the long run. And this is not the month to repair or uncover any family secrets either--you could be doing more harm than good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Leo, Expect a blast from your past this month. And, expect also to make and build a few excellent new relationships as well, the kind that could last a lifetime. You guys usually want so much for everything to work out automatically, without much effort on your part, and you are often surprised and disappointed when it doesn't. Just try to remember, nothing is a sure thing and nothing is automatic. It's always up to you to create stability in your own life. Maybe not everything will be particularly easy for you, but the value is in the trip more than the destination. And, have faith--something amazing should happen to you in October

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) If you're offered a new position, don't hesitate; take it. The only way to be completely successful in your profession now is to do something new. Create a new work scenario, become an expert in a new part of your field. Jump in to something different with both feet. Modify your area of expertise or take on a new venture entirely. Think carefully about where you're going in regard to your profession. Remember, October is an amazing time, so take advantage of it. If you're ready, opportunities are limitless. Leave the ordinary and search for the less traditional way.

September 2014

“September settles into a new paradigm, the beginning of a new cycle. You may still be having difficulty with patience--you can be aggressive and irritable with others and equally impatient with yourself. Just be careful not to get caught up in fantasies and romantic illusions. To keep from being easily deceived, find a creative outlet for your imagination"

~ Deborah

Happy Birthday Virgo! (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Your month: If it's possible to simultaneously shine and remain hidden, you pull it off this month. You can do wonders from behind the scenes but you don't hide in the wings: Stand right out front. This makes you attractive and compelling, and some things are better kept hidden anyway, right? The problem is, you might feel like the bird you hold in your hand right now isn't as attractive as the 2 you think you see in the bush. Just try to keep this in mind: whatever weirdness you're stewing over concerning your partnership is probably just a figment of your very active imagination.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Things are good except for a few tiny details: Maybe a surprise partnership with a group upsets a friend, or maybe you got in to a club and they didn't, or maybe you won an award and they didn't, or you're developing a whole new set of hoity-toity friends leaving your old ones feeling left out, This conflict in your partnerships may be because you aren't thinking clearly, especially about work. Try, just for this month, to direct more attention to creatively transforming your home base and let go of any ego drives connected to work. Save work for next month.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Just hold on and be patient: Money gets much better next month. Most intelligent people understand that money and career drives often do not have much to do with each other, and that's unfortunately true for September. Don't be amazed at the number of important helpful people, status, and media opportunities handed to you on a silver platter over the next 30 days. Your charming ways and brilliant ideas find willing Sherpas and an expanding fan base, especially among those who can do the most for you. But money? That'll be October.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It is said, "A dream written down with a date becomes a goal, a goal broken down into steps is a plan, a plan backed by action makes your dreams come true." You have ideas and plans, and it's exciting to see them transformed from muddled options and dreams to an actual life direction, even if you aren't actually aware of it. Palm fronds, ancient cities, exotic beaches-- those things are calling to you, so go ahead--indulge. Just keep this in mind: You'll have no peace from your future--you'll still be working on your plan while you work on your tan.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You get the age-old question: "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" but this month the good news and the bad news are the same things. The good news is, expect lots of exciting changes where your family is concerned. It's good, because your hard work organizing shared resources enables the major changes in your family to run smoothly, and this makes (almost) everyone happy. But the bad news is, expect lots of exciting changes where your family is concerned. No matter how it plays out, you guys just do not like change.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) You might think your horoscope is a little unusual this month, but we recommend all Aquarians read the book, "Basic Psychic Development: A User's Guide to Auras, Chakras & Clairvoyance" byJohn Friedlander, and Gloria Hemsher. We suggest you give in to what is happening to your mind and go ahead: Unlock your psychic ability. You can trust your own instincts and intuition now without studying, but this book (or one like it) can act as a guide in your energy awareness. September is your month to understand and use auras, chakras, and clairvoyance. Make your invisible world visible.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) You allow other people (your partner, for instance) to tell you how to live your life because sometimes you lack confidence, you don't like confrontations, and you don't like upsetting people. This month, though, you don't seem to be as concerned with that. You know how to be assertive and when to compromise with your friends or groups, so let it spill over into your day-to-day activities. Your challenge this month is to use your artistic and sensitive nature for the good of all concerned, without losing yourself in the process. Try embracing some alone time. Then, stand up for yourself.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) You're naturally a hard worker, more of a doer than a talker. You usually manage to organize, actively and energetically, whomever or wherever you work. Whether it's the office filing system or the cars in the parking lot, you like your work environment to be the way you like it. This month is your month to figure out just how you want to work, to get all your creative synapses firing at the same time. So it can be a little frustrating to hold back. Sorry, but some of your best creative ideas may have to wait until December.

Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21) As much as your friends would love for you to party like a kid this month, you know how forces work in your Universe: If you want to get something done you have to do it yourself. That's a very grown-up philosophical quandary and you may be a little overwhelmed by it and want some escapist time. But once you understand your true nature, and the fact that you personally need to work for what you have, you'll get the support you need to do what you have to do. Then your friends will be happy to see that you have your moment.

Gemini (May 22-June 20) Your home and family are hugely important to you, and they sure let you know it this month. The conflict is, so does your career. The family part seems to run smoothly but sometimes it feels hard to express yourself to them about your work. But at work you feel like you're bashing your head against a wall--your timing is off just a little, just a couple of months. Be patient. Your work energy is aggressive, ambitious and pushy, but the current astrological climate indicates the importance of reaching your goals slowly. You want it now, but you can't have it now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You Cancerians love to be mysterious, un-reachable, to keep your own secrets and your own council while knowing everything about everyone else. You aren't comfortable sharing what you're thinking and feeling even though it seems like you wear your heart on your sleeve, and this is what makes September a little difficult. Honest communication is everything and not just at home, but in your career, too. Somehow partnerships and career collides, and if your communications aren't clear, what you try to keep hidden will burst out of hiding spreading shock and awe. Or, you get a promotion. One or the other.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) An important card in the Tarot deck is "Strength." It represents gentleness triumphing over aggression but also quiet power, and that needs to be you this month. You've spent so much of this year exploring what you value, searching for the elements you love in personal relationships and work, and you've finally decided what you won't tolerate. It's important to have a set of values as long as you aren't too critical of yourself and others, otherwise your self-esteem suffers. Here's where the "Strength" card comes in--be gentle with yourself and those you love: It brings more rewards than aggression will.
