Cancer

Home and family remain your main theme in October, only now the subject gets a practical continuation. The first ten days move along the question of housing, renovation or shared daily life that you were already discussing in the summer. Mid-month will ask for an investment, of money or of time, but it will pay off. By the end of October you will feel that you are finally in the right place.

Family conversations go more easily than usual in October, as long as you do not open them with a reproach. In the first half of the month a relative or someone close will say the thing you have long been waiting for, so take it in without analysing it. Within a couple it is worth redistributing the household roles afresh: who takes on what, and why. Single Cancers may grow closer to someone from an old circle, in familiar surroundings.

Spending on your home is justified in October, but choose consciously between what you need and what you merely want. The first ten days suit planning, mid-month a larger purchase or a renovation. A refund or a recalculation in your favour is possible if you are the first to bring it up. By the end of the month set aside a reserve for household surprises, because November will be more demanding.

Concentrating will be harder than usual: domestic matters pull your attention towards them all month. Plan the demanding work for the morning and for the first half of the week, when your head is clearer. Do not agree to extra load in the middle of October, because you will overestimate your strength. In the final ten days a colleague you had friction with will unexpectedly meet you halfway.

Your stomach and digestion react to nerves and irregular meals, and that is your weak link in October. Warm home-cooked food will do more for you now than any diet or restriction. Water restores you best of all: a swimming pool, a bath, or a walk by the water. Your sleep will deepen if you put the phone away an hour before bedtime, at least every other day.
