horoscope
October 2007
By Dan Liebman
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Experiment with new ideas — as long as they don’t involve your bank
account. If travelling or arranging a social function this month, it’s
good to have plans B and C in place. You’re an astute judge of
character, as someone you work with definitely learns.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Continue to perfect a skill, especially one that puts you in touch with
new people. Pressure lessens at work but intensifies, briefly, over a
family matter. A last-minute announcement throws you off. But, in fact,
the timing could not be better.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
You may be a little too eager to take on causes. Do some research before getting in over your head. Around the 15th, be alert to clients and colleagues with ulterior motives. You take on a late-month managerial assignment — and more than rise to the occasion.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
Family remains supportive. If you’ve been waiting to pop a question or
drop a bombshell, this could prove the best month of the year. Watch
out for an occasional tendency to overspend. You finally discover the
reasons behind someone’s odd behaviour.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Someone takes an interest in your creative skills and is willing to
mentor you. You’re less critical, and it’s no coincidence that an old
friendship is back on track. Upgrading surroundings improves everyone’s
mood. A new friend brings out your quirky side.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
Whether your short-term goal is romantic or professional, you can
achieve it by the 31st. A competitive colleague may get out of control.
Watch for a tendency to postpone money-related decisions. You establish
intellectual rapport with an older relative.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
If you missed the “perfect opportunity” to express feelings, apply for
a job or grab a bargain, you get a second chance this month. Late
October sees you taking a stand on an ethical issue, and you gain
support from a one-time adversary.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
You’re finally able to fulfill an old promise. Don’t look for excuses
to postpone anything that involves health or fitness. False information
arrives around the 15th. It’s a good month to show off your sense of
design, with the accent on flashy touches.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
Good financial news arrives early in October. Just be cautious about
sharing the news…or the cash. Apologizing is not something that comes
easily to you, but the longer you wait, the more difficult it gets.
Make long-range plans rather than seeking instant results.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
October sees you and a friend switching roles — taking on each other’s
responsibilities and attitudes. As a result, you finally realize how
much pressure you’ve been putting on yourself. Relatives take you into
their confidence, and loosen their purse strings
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Balance is the key as you mediate a family dispute. It’s time to make a
decision about an on-again, off-again friendship. Give movies and books
a second chance. Things that once underwhelmed you can suddenly touch
your heart and inspire you.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Stay informed about investments, proposals and suggestions made over
the past months. Be more willing to see someone else’s point of view,
especially after the 15th. A neighbour’s advice is more valuable than
you realize, both from a practical and a financial perspective.
