Libra

The first three weeks of October are your season and the best time of the year: you are seen, heard and met halfway. What you begin in the first ten days will get the backing it had neither in summer nor in spring. After 23 October the emphasis shifts to money and resources – a more down-to-earth but useful stage begins. It is worth spending the whole month laying down what will keep growing until spring.

There is plenty of attention coming your way, and for the first time in a long while you get to choose rather than simply agree. The first half of October gives you a chance to bring back the lightness of the beginning – set up an evening like a real date. Single Libras meet people easily, especially in the first twenty days of the month. The one thing that matters is not saying yes out of politeness where you want to say no.

Money arrives through partnerships and agreements rather than through your own effort. At the start of the month discuss the terms of your cooperation and name your price without apologising. After 23 October the subject of money moves to the front: this is the time to build up your reserve and sort out your obligations. Spending on yourself is allowed, but hold to a limit set in advance – the temptation will be considerable.

New agreements come together easily: partners are more willing to meet you than usual. Put everything in writing in the first half of the month, while the terms are clear to both sides. You may be offered a project that looks unfamiliar – do not refuse straight away, look at the numbers first. The last ten days suit calculations rather than new launches.

You are in good shape in October, but the month will draw more out of you than it feels like while you are riding high. Your lower back and kidneys are the weak spot: drink more water and do not sit for hours without moving. Do not sacrifice sleep for evening gatherings several weeks in a row. Towards the end of the month it helps to ease the pace, otherwise November will start in exhaustion.
