LOVE, MONEY, HEALTH FORECAST

Moving planets in the sky in October present us with dynamic and ever-changing patterns that can bring opportunities for progress, times of frustration, and moments of inspiration. This column describes your Sun sign’s relationship to these patterns, providing helpful insights to guide you through the changing scene.

ARIES

★ LOVE: First Week. October’s palette of beauty is reflected in your relationships, but your significant other lacks patience and objectivity. Second Week. Venus in Sagittarius sextiles Saturn in Aquarius, injecting responsibilities into freewheeling fun. You can’t have one without the other. Third Week. The Full Moon in Aries on the 20th puts the focus back on you and your priorities. Fourth Week. Venus in Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter in Aquarius, making it easy to bridge the gap between present conditions and future possibilities.

★ MONEY: The Moon transits Scorpio on the 8th and 9th in the house of your partner’s income, credit, financial settlements, and debts (the 8th). Plots thicken here, and the outcomes can have a transformational effect. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 22rd, adding more drama to the scenario. On this same day the Moon transits Taurus in the house of your cash flow (the 2nd). Practical solutions here require stricter budgeting, but your courageous plan prevails over penury.

★ On the 4th and 5th the Moon transits Virgo in the house of medical matters, pets, skills, staff, and chores (the 6th). Experimenting with healthier cuisine brings a new awareness of how the technicalities of vitamins, fat, and protein can improve your well-being. The Moon transits Pisces on the 16th and 17th in the house of recuperation and solitude (the 12th). Hours of downtime help you ponder connectedness and charitable actions. The mind-body connection is part of the puzzle.
