Zodiac signs

OCTOBER FORECAST

Aries (March 21-April 20)
Jupiter, in a favourable placing, makes for diverse sources of income, better family ties, dinners and parties, important social events, conferences and meets, appointments and power lunches, interviews and client interaction. Your personality thus shines through.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)
You concentrate on money in several manifestations now. It is more on the larger scale than on personal or domestic income-mega-finances to be arranged. The loans and funds angle will prevail throughout the year for you, but so also will legal matters, lawsuits or disputes, from this point (or month) onward. It is obvious that you cannot have one without the other, of course.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)
A journey will prove to be favourable. There also is a leading toward mantra and spiritual pursuits; also, a shift or move regarding house. This last may not necessarily come to pass if you�ve moved recently. A strong likelihood, however, is what the astro-indication is. Most importantly, your income will be enhanced and possibly accrue from several sources.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Your willingness and desire to grow is great indeed and could include several spheres. In the cognitive processes, thinking, meditation, contemplation are both positively reinforced and improved. True spirituality will therefore be a major gain. Long distance and even overseas tie-ups are likely.

Leo (July 23-Aug 22)
The emphasis on loans and funds remains as strong as over this month, too. It is obvious that property, acquisitions, assets need necessary finances, so you create opportunities, ways and means of additional income. You have gained hugely in the mental strength necessary to cope with these additional demands.

Virgo (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)
Virgos are definitely the workers and sometimes even the plodders of the zodiac. I must point out that plodding is necessary to cope with the daily grind of routine, work, domestic commitments. You do this admirably now. You are somewhat in a position to relax, let your hair down, enjoy yourself � and that you do with much socializing, happy times with friends and loved ones.

Libra (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23)
A month of heavy duties and equally heavy commitments and this is where you shine. There may be health problems for family members, perhaps an older person. It�s a time with several ups and down but the final position is an ascending one in terms of achievement.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
A busy, hectic phase sets in and both work and domestic matters and personal issues demand your attention, almost all at the same time. You seem to be spinning, moving fast in all directions though there is some cloak-and-danger activity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21)
It is a fine, go-ahead month of visible gains and achievements. The presence of Mars energizes you, imbuing you with renewed zest and enthusiasm. All this makes for great power and the determination to overcome all the obstacles, which are bound to be in your path.

Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 20)
This month will be lots of communication with contacts and contracts. I would say the ties and bonds theme is equally important at the personal level as well. This will include partnerships, tie-ups and collaborations.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)
Finances take on a new direction and meaning after the power thrust of the last two months, but equally powerful this month will be the emphasis on house, home, domestic pursuits and family time. But here�s a word of caution. �Easy Come, easy go� may apply to finances with supersonic speed, so be careful. All in all, a roller-coaster ride this month.

Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
You will travel, communicate, build up warm, personal relationships, be cheerful and scintillating socially but the flip side of all this is a burnout, despite your strength of purpose and stamina so that�s one thing you should guard against.
