Think harmony in your one-to-ones and practice a bit of patience! It’s the best month of a two-year stretch for you to crank it up at the gym Aries, review your health and go to the doctor for a check-up if there are any niggles – you hate to be slowed down and prevention is better than cure. You can really align the physical and inner workings of the body so use October to set your wheels in motion!

AQUARIUS: 20 January – 18 February
Dear Aquarius, you’re really going to see the fruits of your labour pay off this month and can even give a gentle nudge (or solid push!) in the right direction. Luck favours the brave on the 25th and for you this relates to outside income – an influx of money or power from an external source. There may have been a touch of fog around “what’s mine, what’s yours and what’s theirs” lately; these matters could still be murky but will grow clearer bit by bit. It’s an outstanding time for learning Aqua babe – review and rethink what you want to know and use the month of October to educate yourself – doesn’t have to be heavy, just those outstanding bits of data you want locked down in the memory banks. Presto.

PISCES: 19 February – 20 March
Love, love, love. Assume your relationships will take up the majority of your energies this October Miss Pisces, but also tune into that more structured vibe at work (it’s definitely here to stay!). There are blissful times to be had with your significant other now – be it your lover, your best friend or important figures in your life – enjoy your one-on-ones. Partnership and harmonious outcomes might be all you can focus on, which could be lovely or a little overwhelming depending on how you guide your energies. Remember, it’s not your place to please everyone, all the time. You’re in the mood to go deep which could be sexy and steamy – it could also be pretty intense and get others a bit too hot under the collar! Take a step back and enjoy the good times – when in doubt throw in a measure of equilibrium.
