What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of October 2-8, 2016?

Aries
Established relationships take on a larger significance. The energy challenges you to reconsider who you are. Expect some opposition to your plans.  If you are wise, you will be thoughtful when this happens. Feedback from others offers significant opportunity for growth and expansion to the degree you are willing to incorporate the needs and advice of others. You’ll learn most about yourself through taking a serious and disciplined approach to all you do. This is a powerful time for making practical changes to your usual habits and avocations.

Those born near April 4, most especially, may find themselves in the midst of an emotionally charged confrontation by week’s end. You may feel severely at odds with yourself or others. Powerful forces are in play and this includes the potential for accidents if you do not keep your cool. The structures you create now have the potential to expand your horizons in unexpected and positive directions. Be prepared to listen as well as lead. Strive to make practical changes to the way you approach problems.

Taurus
Expect to feel a greater sense of balance and harmony with the people around you. Partners and mentors will be especially sympathetic and helpful. Legal matters tend to move in your favor. If your heart is open, you will be able to see more clearly how your feelings influence your relationship with others. This is an extremely positive week, most especially for the April born, to make firm decisions, take action, and embrace competition with enthusiasm and confidence. Your influence over others, particularly via social media, will be strong. People will be receptive to your opinions. For some, love is in the air. Old friendships can ripen into love or a new, intense, spiritually deep relationship may suddenly appear. Don’t attempt to do everything yourself. Friends are compassionate and willing help.

Gemini
While not everything is rose colored, for the first time in months luck is on your side. People will be more appreciative. Creative and romantic opportunities abound.  Spend more time with loved ones: particularly children and sweethearts. This will help you feel more balanced and can help you feel more optimistic. It’s a good time for sharing your home, or a good meal with special people. The May born may find things becoming more complicated over a sexual matter or where shared resources are concerned. You, or a woman in your life may react with irritation that makes problem solving difficult. It’s possible to burn or injure yourself with a sharp object, if you are not fully aware of any anger you may be feeling. If faced with a choice between finding common ground and being in charge, choose common ground.  Being a little deaf to hurtful comments works in your favor.

Cancer
Joy is in the air, most especially for those born July 2-10. This is the best possible time to give yourself permission to follow your heart and have fun. Activities with children, a passionate love relationship, or creative projects will be a source of satisfaction and growth. Sharing favorite interests with friends should be at the top of your agenda. To make a good impression, just be yourself and go with the flow.

What tension there is in your life, is likely to be ongoing and from a familiar source. The June born especially may be challenged to speak up and be more direct about anything you feel is unfair or out of balance. A family, partnership or legal conflict may escalate through the week, and by Saturday may bring a confrontation. This is one of those crisis and opportunity points. To the degree you are willing to speak about your deepest needs you can sidestep the potential for frustration and bitter conflict. Relationships where you feel alienated can reach a breaking point. This can also be the point where you have the courage to make necessary compromises and set clear boundaries that protect your heart and give you the acknowledgement you deserve.

Leo
Ideas are flying! The energy encourages a wave of social contacts and collaboration with the people you see every day. It may be all you can do to keep on top of your social calendar. It’s a great time to host or plan a party. Rather than start anything new, focus on unfinished projects. Other people may need your help, but it’s best to put your own needs first. There is some potential to become overextended and possibly make yourself sick in the process. This will be especially so for those born near August 7. Throughout the week, you may also be tempted to overindulge in favorite foods. The positive side of this energy is you now have the opportunity to establish better habits to improve your present and long-term health.  If you have wanted to redecorate or make improvements at home, now is the time to mobilize your creative imagination. Put on some music and make time to clean and reorganize: especially any home based workspace.

Virgo
This week that can bring personal financial gain although there are a few pitfalls. Some may be tempted to gamble, and others would rather play than take advantage of the work necessary to maximize an opportunity that is right in front of you. It’s up to you to make the best of what comes your way.  Any sort of teamwork or creative collaboration will help expand your horizons. Take time to think more about what you truly value. What makes you feel secure may be less about your possessions and more about sharing who you are and what you love. The ponderous movement of Saturn in stressful aspect continues to bring lessons, most especially to those born September 4-5. You are coping with discouraging limitations largely out of your control. Keep things simple and spend more time close to the beauty of nature: this will help you worry less over what is not working. Partners may be particularly kind or self-sacrificing. It’s a lucky weekend for a romantic escape. Share your deepest feelings.

Libra
This can be a complicated week. On one side, you have just entered a once every twelve year period of expansion and opportunity. Most days you’ll be full of big ideas and optimism. At the same time, there is likely to be opposition in the form of powerful people and emotionally charged situations where who is in control is an open question. Conflicts with parents or over living arrangements are possible. Be particularly patient and focus on what works this Saturday. Keep things simple and trust your inner voice to most easily maneuver through this mixed bag of blessings and challenges. If your birthday is this week, be open to opportunities to better educate yourself or polish your skills. You are now building a foundation for later success. Thursday is a particularly strong day for making a good impression with your boss.

Scorpio
This is a lucky week for making a good impression and making peace in general. You have permission to have more fun. Those born the first ten days of November will benefit from getting out and mixing with people you love, or people you would like to know better. Time spent with children or enjoying music will be especially satisfying.  As the seasons change, it’s a positive time for some quiet reflection. Time alone can help you consider how well things have been going in the last year. Don’t beat yourself up or harbor resentments against others for any real or imagined failings. The more dispassionate and honest you can be with yourself now, the more effective you will be moving forward. It’s a terrific time to set some boundaries to create a better balance between work, play, personal time, and service to others.

Sagittarius
Your social life is booming! This is a very exciting time for making friends and having conversations that hold the seeds of future opportunities. Even if your spirits are low, accept invitations to get out and expand your circle of connections. Creative friends and collaborative efforts to make life more fair or beautiful will be a source of inspiration and support. This promises benefits down the line. 

Sometimes the need to be practical can undermine your confidence or demand you reconsider your usual habits. To some degree, it may seem as if other people are setting your agenda. What you value and what you are able to do may seem at odds. You may find it frustrating to sacrifice for others and yet this is your current path. This remains a period of potential discouragement and confusion, particularly for those born the first week of December. Your usual exuberance is muted and you may feel lonely. Focus on projects you have already started. In time, the sun will shine again.

Capricorn
Your energy level is high. This is an ideal time for physical challenges and taking the lead in any area where doing a good job matters. This is not to say it will be entirely smooth sailing. The December born may be feeling particularly argumentative. Career opportunities can be at odds with what you personally would prefer to do. Trust your intuition and then do more research on any area where you hope to build a better future. Finding common ground with others can be a challenge, particularly for those born the first week of January. Other people’s opinions or need for collaboration may not suit your ambitious and self-contained nature. Collaborative efforts may be a challenge, but still hold great potential for successful negotiations. One particularly bright spot will be provided sharing what you enjoy with good friends: music, less technology, and more time close to the beauty of nature will revive your spirits.

Aquarius
There is a positive energy making it easier to find collaborative solutions on the job or in any volunteer effort. You may be feeling especially generous where those in need are concerned. This could mean stepping in to assist a coworker who is struggling. Teachers, writers, and those with a strong presence on social media need to put as much energy as possible into sharing your ideas. You’ll find your audience is growing and your ability to make a positive impression is less a matter of effort and more a matter of simply being who you are. Those born near February 11 are likely to encounter surprising opportunities to express yourself through people and places that are most familiar. It’s time to step out of what is comfortable and embrace a sense of excitement and new possibility.

Pisces
This is a powerful week for making practical plans. Strong willed women could be particularly helpful, even though they may demand you reconsider your current position on a particular subject. Challenges are likely to come out of the necessity to find the fairest solution where shared resources or an emotionally complex relationship is concerned. Be prepared to be extra diplomatic dealing some people who will be particularly irritable or oversensitive. It’s best not to take things personally. A certain amount of lively give and take can help clarify your thinking. Those born the first ten days of March are in a particularly happy position to have an experience or encounter a person who encourages your highest ideas or expands your horizons in some significant way. If possible, it’s an ideal time to travel.
