Your October Horoscope

In true Aries style you’re on a quest to get ahead. In early October, co-operation and working constructively with people you trust will make the most meaningful progress. Expect some surprising and helpful insights into your own strengths and talents. You will maximise opportunities by learning from other people’s experience.

Other people, including promising new allies, will keep you on your toes this autumn. Taurus loyalty will come into its own as relationships develop.

You will find you need to take risky decisions, which will lead to even more life-affirming experiences.

By the 27th you should be flying high, and you will also have a special person’s blessing.

You often feel the need to put other people first, yet as October starts to roll it becomes clear that this is your time to command attention.

October offers the chance to inject new life into your schemes and dreams. As early as the 7th you will sense you have greater control over your future, which is Capricorn’s favourite position to be in.

Equally important is acknowledging a mutual attraction which appears to come out of nowhere. Clearly this autumn’s focus is about so much more than career and financial goals.

From the 10th it seems that certain people have a habit of analysing your every decision and move, and so it is time to dig a little deeper into what is really going on with you and them. The more you notice the details, the greater your insights will be. You will find a way to handle this brilliantly. By the 22nd you will know exactly who and what deserves your attention, resulting in feeling both happier and more empowered.
