Overview for October: It's a Libra Month, or so it starts out, and then there's a number of little planets which slowly creep into Scorpio. Planets like Venus and Mercury always follow the Sun, and the whole mess moves from Libra into the Scorpion later this month. And creepy is a good expression because along come that sacred Scorpio time, Halloween. Couldn't happen to a nicer sign. And to think, about the tons of virtual letters I get about me being mean to Scorpio. It's just not true. However, with this bit of a line up of planets and all, in Scorpio, it is going to make the rest of us a little uncomfortable with the way things are. But give it a moment's rest. There will be more. And, in some circles, it's considered safe to make a single stock market prediction at this time: near the end of the month, there will be a sudden decline. It's that Halloween thang, you know.
Aries: This month starts out tough, no two ways about it, and that's without committing false report. One does not want raise the ire of the local constables. However, there is one Fish and Game dude I love to pester, but I guess that's a story best left untold. Now, it does get better. It does improve, like, "it" (what does "it" refer to?) is going to feel much better long before the month is half over. Then you can laugh with glee -- Saturn really is done with you for a spell. He might make other signs uncomfortable at this point, but you are going to be comfortably ensconced with a degree of luxury which you earned. Finally.
Taurus: I would be dearly misrepresenting myself if I didn't tell you that things are going to be MIGHTY INTERESTING over the next few weeks. After the middle of the month, though, you're going to settle into a routine of work, work, and more work. Don't blame me, I'm just looking at your chart. Work might be over rated, but it still engages you this month. As the month grows longer, and the days get shorter, you will also find that interpersonal relationships, that doesn't just include romance, gets more and more difficult. "They" just don't seem to see things your way. This is due to the pile up of planets in Scorpio, and it does improve, albeit a little later in the game than you would like.
Gemini: Gemini's can be so difficult to pin down sometimes, but I do know this, if I approach you with a giant straight pin and some ether, I can get a grip for a little while. But what do I want with a struggling Gemini? Early this month you wake up, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you broke away from some bounds that have held you down. Or pinned your wings, so to speak. It's hard to imagine a butterfly breaking free from its position in a glass case, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find a Gemini this month getting herself or himself free of a prison-like container. No Gemini deserves to be impaled in a glass house. Your glass walls, the barriers in your life, turn diaphanous this month.
Cancer: Tough enough for you? That's what the beginning of the month feels like. What happens? It gets different. Much better, really. Of course, you've heard this before, but the slow and steady procession of the planets means that the little ones are moving from a "less than wonderful position" into a better place, just in time for the Cancer month to start looking up. By the time the month begins to sidle up towards M/M Scorpio, you will find that you attitude gets a lot better. And, I, for one, will be glad to know that you've got a new attitude.
Leo: You know, I'm just not winning any points with Leo's these days because I keep refusing to predict how good everything will be when, in fact, it's going to be a little less than stellar on a Leo paw, which means, it could be downright bad. This is because the Scorpio's are hogging some of your precious limelight right now, and that ain't a good thang. So relax this month because next month brings a world of good things. During this month, however, you are going to be forced to share your precious number one spot with more than one other pretender. The bright side to this, if there is one, is that you are sharing the number one spot, not winding up as number two. No Leo deserves that number two spot.
Virgo: The early part of this month is going to get a little kick in the shorts when Mars and Pluto do a semi-annual dirty dance. This little dance is like the movies, you know, what's one the screen is not real life. And that "dirty dancing" is nothing more than a teaser because you still end up all by your lonesome at the end of the night. However, once that's over, you have some mighty clear sailing. Open water, no problems, live bait or artificial, anything you want will work. It's going to be pretty good for you, once we get you past the aforementioned conflagration. Just plan on fishing alone for part of this month.
Libra: The good news is that there are some love planets working on you, like Juno and Venus. Bad news? Mr. Mars is stuck over in your 12th Solar houses, and he's not happy being isolated in a room away from the girl planets. While this might not be best way to look at it all, the planets represent social energy, and they all need to be a little bit closer to interact. So you need to watch your behavior this month just to make sure you don't act like you've been too isolated for too long, like Mars. Or maybe it was too much time on Mars.
Scorpio: Right at the tail end of Libra is Pa Wetzel's Birthday. Drop him a quick B-day note. And right at the beginning of Scorpio is Ma Wetzel's b-day, so EVERYTHING IS GOING WONDERFUL IN SCORPIO THIS MONTH. I wonder if that was subtle enough. For the rest of you, Venus, Mercury, and some other oddball planet-like things clutter up your sign with varying degrees of reasonably nice energy. Especially Venus. She brings a soft and gentle glow into your Scorpio life this month. You will find that you attract the accolades of others this month, and it's an ongoing event. Just be careful about being too nice; a super-nice Scorpio scares the rest of us. Not that it couldn't be so, it just makes the other 11 signs wonder what you're up to.
Sagittarius: It doesn't much matter what I suggest, this month will go from good, to a point where it feels like everything is crumbling, like you're out in the middle of the river, just a fishing away, and then you discover that your sandbar is begin to liquefy... some might call it "sand that moves fast" or quicksand. Stay out of that sand trap later this month by carefully planning your upcoming free time. Careful preparation for any expeditions, as well as a good flotation device, will help keep your head above the water, or the sand, as the case may be. It's that unstable, mutable earth which is trickiest this month.
Capricorn: You know, it's getting harder and harder not to make some kind of false report, but this month starts out with a slow fizzle, like a leftover and soggy firecracker from some summertime celebration. Will it ever explode? The only way to know for sure is to go over and give it nudge with you toe. I'd be careful, though, because you might be a little accident prone early in the month. Yes, that will change. But about that firecracker, first, I would seriously consider some of those awful looking steel - toed boot for early this month. The bigger and uglier the boot is, the more protection it will afford you. Early in the month is no time for bright red pumps.
Aquarius: I don't know which way you guys are going to go this month. If you were an average sign, you would be definitely headed up. More money, more prestige, more acknowledgement for your efforts, that sort of thing. Of course, being a typical Water Bearer, no matter how nice it looks for you, you could find something wrong with it all. But don't blame me, I said things looked up (it just depends on how you play your cards). If you're looking for some good advice this month on how to play those cards, the Wednesday night poker game at the Bait Shop is safe bet on place you really don't want to be. Those guys are tough, and it's their goal to take all your money.
Pisces: Old Mr. Jupiter kind of turned a little on you, didn't he? Like last week's stinkbait, only, it's had time to ripen a bit. Well, he's "just fixin'" to help a little bit. All you have to do is make yourself available for that financial windfall to about happen. I hope it's windfall and not pitfall, I can never tell my falls apart. But the "just fixin' to turn" is really about right. It's not like I relish the thought of giving half-baked advice to a Pisces. And I do believe that you experience some of the windfall this month. Exactly when? That's a good question. Let me know when it happens.
