Libra (September 23-October 22): None of us appreciates being trapped in standstill traffic; your forbearance will be put to the test until Thanksgiving. Rather than engaging in wasted effort to inch forward incrementally, it would be best for you to pull over to the shoulder of the highway and dive into a good book and wait this out.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): The sartorial suggestions provided by the planets this season appear to favor bondage pants or a straitjacket for you. It being such a conflicted season of the world, it is best to ignore the suggested constraints. Go about your life this autumn without being too tricky.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Thank goodness that at least your sign favors those who are aspirational. Although the path may not be clear, at least you are allowed to see further in the distance; the brambles and impediments may be on your path; there will be a gallant standing by to clear the way for you without you soiling your dainty hands.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Generally you’re a consistent and dependable sign, but the other planets persist in making unfavorable alliances with Saturn, your ruling planet. As a result, you fall to be cloying, turning into the annoying child tugging at Mom’s skirts for attention.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): For you, this is one of those periods in life that provides ample room to cogitating more than might be productive. Turning over all the different aspects of our life, trying to see whether we can fit them together in a different pattern, can distract us from getting on with the job of life. Don’t let the parade pass by.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): It’s best for you to take comfort in the lessons taught by the uplifting story of Cinderella. Recall that her story divides into three acts, as all good stories do, according to Aristotle. Right now the stars are outfitting you in tatters for reenacting her first act. Success comes to the last act.
Aries (March 21-April 20): If you were a car, it appears that you’d be an energy-efficient one in October, as you’re inclined then to just coast down a gentle hill, rather than exerting any effort; Optimus Prime will need to step in and motivate you. Fortunately, the Sun swinging into Scorpio at the end of October brings you back to your usual level of engagement with life.
Taurus (April 21-May 20): It seems you need to call in for professional assistance or need to check in with friends and family. It’s not that you aren’t your usual competent self, but planetary aspects being what they are, you might reflect on circumstances, being like an unstable tower of Jenga blocks, and the full Moon on Oct. 26 might bring it down, so let others help you rebuild.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): You seem to be moving into your season and now get to consider the bigger picture, while you realize there are actual ramifications to your actions, to your attitudes; while you have been drifting lightly with the current, this is when you realize what impact your decisions have on others. This can be a time for legacy building or to just become a footnote in your social circle’s history.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): If possible, you should carve out some personal time at the start of October, allowing for an emotional reset. Even if it’s a staycation, this will suffice. Tell your needy friends that you’re on a spiritual pilgrimage or anything else that will erect a buffer for you. This might be a good time to wear an elvish cloak or a habit as a “Do Not Disturb” sign.
Leo (July 23-August 22): This is the season that all your hard work at the gym pays dividends, mostly because circumstances will call upon you to shoulder heavier burdens; you might prefer to just be Jack/Jill carrying a pail up the hill, but the planets conspire to send you tumbling down. On the bright side, you can pick yourself up dust yourself off and start over.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): The beginning of October should bolster your confidence regarding your skills to navigate around pitfalls that might trip up others; there’s a clear vision provided by the astral companions to your sign, and they are whispering: go for it. While market forecasts might be cloudy, your intuitions cut through the blather.
