Aries is normally a sign of action and lately you may have felt a little passive-aggressive and inclined to avoid confrontation. These feelings are about security and safety, which you will want in abundance until mid-month. Those around you may be genuinely surprised with your willingness to help and overall amiability — they don’t need to know your underlying motivations. You may find that all this darn niceness opens up your heart centre in ways you never dreamed possible.

Till mid month you may experience feelings from within to play and use thought for amusement. This is fine as long as you don’t start communicating these little amusements to play with others. You could get into some trouble with friends or a group you belong to because of it. Don’t say it would be great to sky dive if you don’t really mean it. Practicality rules relations for the latter part of the month, so reorganize what isn’t working.

Gemini’s are always looking for something to do — so let’s play a fun game. Imagine a tube of light full of knowledge coming down from the cosmos into your head. This will tell you everything you ever need to know. Now imagine a huge ball of steel wool where your brain is located. This is what the overactive brain looks like. The light of wisdom cannot permeate this dark cloud. Stillness of mind starts with the breath. Breathe Gemini. Breathe.

Cancer’s have been given the gift of turning their immediate environment into a safe haven. This energy is very strong for you from the 15th to the 24th. If you have any friends or family that you know need some love and comfort this would be a great time to spend with them. Use that last week of the month to cultivate your own well being. Your cup must be refilled or you will have nothing to give to others.

The best place to channel your energy this month is into your relationships. Allow things to happen naturally and don’t worry so much about having to know where you stand. Lead with your heart and teach others about generosity through example. During the second half of the month, take the time to reconnect with siblings or old friends. A short trip to visit them would be an even better idea. A break in routine is just what you need.

In case you were wondering, you’ve been going through an initiation these last two years. For some, you may have experienced health issues with this shift, or difficulty following your soul’s calling. Whatever the issue, you have been challenged to bring forth wisdom, patience and compassion for others and most importantly for yourself. As October progresses the light will start to peek through the curtains and soon you will be jumping out of bed again to greet the day.

Libra is the sign signifying the other, which is why you sometimes feel that your life and your choices are not often about what you want. It’s about making others happy to maintain balance and harmony. This can make it difficult for Libra to follow their personal destiny. In October, the sun spends the first three weeks in Libra and all signs will be acquiescing for a change. Enjoy the bliss of being completely honest. You won’t be left alone and friendless.

Hang out in the background for the first three weeks of the month. You’ll be amazed at what you learn when no one thinks you are watching. Keep your cards close to your chest till the 24th. If you need to confide in someone pick someone you live with rather than a casual acquaintance. It’s best to direct energy into your career after the 17th. For those who are single, new love interests will have to remain under wraps a little longer.

Sharing knowledge will be very healing for you this month. Teaching is the best way to understand anything you are trying to learn. This should be a fortunate month in terms of outside help from others, especially from the 15th to the 24th. The assistance could be instrumental in shifting your future goals. This month you will be challenged to decide what it is you really want. Map out your one, five and 10 year plans and get on it.

This month you will be more in tune with how you are perceived by others. This scrutiny can be helpful in that we tune into what signals we are broadcasting to the world. Is your television show a very interesting one? Is it full of boring commercials that pay the bills? This is your chance to demonstrate why you deserve respect and why you should be in charge. Continue to be gentle in communicating your truth, or sparks may fly.

You should feel fairly confident and optimistic this month. Take this good energy and use it to implement a new health change that you have been avoiding making. It won’t be so hard for you to pull off this month. Spend some time mapping out travel plans, or at least start thinking where you want to go. You are willing to work hard till mid month, so put some cash aside for unexpected expenses.

For those on the spiritual path, meditation will be very beneficial this month. There is a greater likelihood of connecting to your own inner wisdom and divine guidance. In fact, this is your month of transformation and regeneration. Perhaps it is time to take a personal development course or workshop. Take that extra money that has likely come your way and invest in yourself. Give the ones who love you time to adjust to and understand your metamorphosis.
