March 21 – April 20

There’s a dramatic feeling surrounding you during the full moon in your sign on Oct. 10. It’s time for you to create something wondrous with your vivid imagination. Be who you are no matter whom you offend. Chances are you will wow and woo many, beginning with a Virgo. You can learn a lot by observing the way people react to your strong and spicy personality.

April 21 – May 20

Venus moves into your house of love on Oct. 9 and brings you too many dating options. It’s hard for you to turn down all the attention you’ll receive, but please, sweetie, be selective. You and an Aries may not read each other correctly right away, but this one is worth the investment. And we all know how you like to invest!

May 21 – June 21

The full moon on Oct. 10 falls in your house of friends, so try to take it easy on yourself if pals put you through the wringer. This, too, shall pass. Focus your emotional energy on a Leo who is tortured by feelings of love and of jealousy for you. You need to actively seek out some fire in your life, Gemini.

June 22 – July 22

Saturn’s transit through your sign may make you feel as if all your hard work has been for naught. Nothing could be further from the truth. The universe is simply reminding you that you need to take a breath, pull back, and get some perspective on your crazy life. Escape your own world for a while with an Aquarius.

July 23 – Aug.22

Uranus retrograde makes a strange but sweet aspect to Venus at the beginning of the week of Oct. 6. Vow to do something totally different to bring love into your life. You and a Gemini can reunite in grand style. This is a great time for romantic surprises. The key is to resist routine.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

It’s easy for you to get what you need in your career. The Sun and your ruler Mercury are both transiting your house of money and prosperity, so long-term success is yours for the asking (and the hard work). In love you need to be just as strategic and confident. A Taurus is waiting on you.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

The full moon on Oct. 10 falls in your house of love. It may push you to really listen to your own desires and emotional needs, rather than be so damned practical about romance! A Sagittarius wants you to fly and be free. This fall, you can discover a part of yourself that you abandoned years ago. Vow to find yourself again.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

You’ve been acting like a crazy person the past few weeks, unable to slow down, but not moving as fast as you’d like to. During mid-October you are at last able to find the perfect balance. You can rock steady with a Pisces without ever getting bored or tired. Stop preaching so much, and get your act together!

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You can have fun this month while everyone else is getting intense and serious about their long-range plans. Live in the moment with an Aquarius. You know you want to! You are able to get whatever you want from your colleagues. Ask nicely.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

It’s hard for you to come to terms with someone from your past, but you’re going to have to. All this obsessing is not doing you any good. You and a Virgo need to relax and spend some quality time together.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Your ruler, Uranus, is retrograde in your sign, which means that you might want to make some radical left or right turns in your life. That really won’t be necessary, sweetie. Slow and steady will win the romantic race with a Pisces. No self-sabotage in October, please!

Feb. 19 – March 20

Save your pennies and get ready to splurge when the holiday season arrives. This is the time for you to plan your escape from the nine-to-five world. But in the meantime, you will have to act like a good little bean counter (and I do mean “act”). A Libra knows what a pirate you are underneath!
