You need to consider their needs, as well as your own, before moving forward because your ruling planet Mars is Retrograde until mid-November. Then you are free to spring into new projects, or perhaps a new relationship. Until then you need to be more circumspect.

The idea is to enhance your life on a daily level, to develop habits that are positive and uplifting. This could also mean adopting a small animal, or changing your diet or taking up a new active hobby.

Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)

Therefore, you can give full rein to your passions. It’s time to let go of past hurts and move forward with gusto. It’s up to you whether you focus on a project or a person, or you are secretive or strategic. The idea is to pursue something inspiring. It’s possible that something is brewing behind the scenes at the start of the month, ready for a public announcement later.

ctober sees you reach out to friends for fun times. Your social calendar is likely to fill, even if it is a surplus of Zoom meetups. You are a loyal friend, ready to cheer up your mates when they are down. As the Sun moves through the friendship sector of your Solar Chart you may need some boosting yourself. So, it’s time for social connections of various types. If social distancing is an active policy in your neighbourhood, then find creative ways to connect. If 2020 is denting your usual exuberance then you need to reach out to a support group.

Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)

Professional matters are to the fore during October. You are likely to be focussed on the top of the mountain, whatever that means for you. Slowly but surely, you gain a foothold in areas of your professional life, and you make your way to the top. This month sees a benefactor, or someone in authority, give you a helping hand. You receive recognition, or rewards, for a job well done. You also continue to benefit from any self-development undertaken while so many outer planets reside in your Zodiac Sign.

Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)

You are ready for some adventure this month. If pandemic restrictions are in place in your neighbourhood, then travelling into new territory is unlikely to be possible. Therefore, you need to discover ways to create some excitement close to home. What little daring activities can you take up to satisfy your need for thrills? Luckily you are an innovative soul. Religion, philosophy, sport, high-minded documentaries, foreign films and the arts are just a few avenues that may appeal. The trick is to find something that propels you out of your comfort zone.

Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)

It’s time to dig deep so that you can start to make changes that are necessary when it comes to your emotional, and financial resources. This can be as simple as how much time you spend with your loved one, to the more complex nature of your financial investments, shared or otherwise. ‘Change’ is October’s keyword for Pisces. And change is something that is easy to say, and harder to do. Anything that seems overwhelming can be broken down into simple steps. Use your wonderful Pisces imagination to visualise positive outcomes.
