October brings the Sun and the giant planet Jupiter together in the sign of style and fair play Libra. This positively energetic duo will inspire players and coaches alike to strive for balance, cohesion and quick one-twos to undo the opposition; indeed there will be a victory for style over substance for beauty over hard graft. On a personal level there will be greater optimism, awareness of the higher aspects of life, refinement, and a realisation that cooperation and building effective partnerships bring their own rewards. There are also two opportunities for fresh starts – signified by the two new moons – the first one on the 1st of the month and the second is on the 30th. New moons have long been associated with new beginnings and are opportune times to reflect on what you want to achieve in the days and weeks ahead – if you take the time to stop, think, and visualise you will be surprised at how much progress you will make. The love planet and the patron saint of South American football, Venus, moves from passionate and deep and meaningful Scorpio to the freedom loving fire sign Sagittarius on the 18th assuring that sparks will fly in your love life.
ARIES MARCH 21 – APRIL 20
The new moon in the sign of love and beauty Libra on the 1st – quite close to abundant Jupiter – brings all your relationships into sharp focus. War-loving Mars, your ruler, is currently traversing the sign of structure and will power Capricorn urging you to focus on clear-cut goals, to buckle down and put career first, but Venus wants to relax and have fun – then again the life lesson of Libra is to find balance!!
TAURUS APRIL 21 – MAY 21
Powerhouse Jupiter enhances the Sun’s vitality and gives you an energy boost this month. An opportunity concerning work requires your attention, don’t weigh things up for too long – even though the Sun is in the sign of the scales!! – if it really is time to change, do it. Venus, the planet of love and money – your ruling planet – moves into the financial sector of your chart on the 18th to replenish your funds.
GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21
Channel your energy into creative projects during October and reap the rewards. The Sun / Jupiter link-up fills the ether with potent ideas: pick the ones that appeal to you. Mercury, your ruler, moves into Libra on the 7th ensuring a much clearer picture – picture the outcome that is best for you.
CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22
The Libra new moon in your domestic and family sector on the 1st indicates that this is a month of new beginnings, with your home life taking centre stage. Put your emotional concerns on one side and allow yourself to consider the reality – the reality that you want to create. The 30th is very favourable and brings opportunities.
LEO JULY 23 – AUGUST 23
Your communication skills are enhanced this month whilst the planet of good fortune, Jupiter, opens doors for you that would remain shut for lesser mortals. Add the fact that prophetic Apollo, the tamer of dragons (grounder of cosmic light), has entered Leo, you are set for a right royal time. Just remember what they say about pride – as well as a pride of lions!
VIRGO AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 22
October is an excellent month for you to turn your financial plans into reality. The new moon on the 1st offers an entirely new way of seeing things as Mercury, your ruler, moves into strategic Libra on the 7th and the asteroid Psyche (intuitive, psychically attuned) moves into Virgo enabling you to sift the wheat from the chaff.
LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 23
The powerful new moon in your sign at the start of the month highlights potential. Venus the planet of love and beauty – your ruling planet – illuminates the financial sector of your chart (transactions made after the 18th look particularly auspicious). Whilst Pandora (the Liberator, curiosity that initiates change) moves into Libra – fortune favours the brave.
SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 22
October is charged with promises and challenges. After the 18th there’s a positive cosmic shift as Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves into your sign heralding a new dynamic (find positive outlets to express any lingering bottled-up feelings). Whilst Toro (power, boundless strength) moves into Scorpio to help you focus and achieve.
SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21
The month starts with a meeting of the radiant Sun and bountiful Jupiter in the part of your chart that governs friends and group activities. A propitious time for expanding your mind and your heart as new opportunities and exciting people appear in your social and business spheres. Dynamic Mars energises your financial sector.
CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 20
War-like Mars is in your sign this month making you feel more assertive and combative but in your normal practical, steadfast and responsible way; whatever comes up, no matter how challenging, you will have the tools to deal with it effectively. You will impress with your attitude and drive and win recognition.
AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 18
The new moon and high-minded Jupiter meet in the area of your chart concerned with study and spiritual growth. The planets are urging you to investigate a new form of learning or a new way of practice, one that perhaps has an overseas flavour. The new moon on the 30th highlights an important decision.
PISCES FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20
Financial issues with partners and associates are at the top of your agenda this month. Lucky Jupiter is strong in your chart and will be helping you to make some real breakthroughs. However, be sure to prepare well, get your facts right and then speak your mind.
