Horoscope for October 2008
By Dan Liebman
Kate Winslet
SIGN: Libra
BORN: October 5, 1975
WHERE: Reading, U.K.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Take a dose of the upbeat advice you’ve been offering others. It can help you regain your focus — especially in personal relationships. And encourage friends and family to pamper you. Business ideas show potential.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
People trust your ability to keep confidences and are eager to share secrets. It’s time to treat yourself to a few small luxuries — a visit to a spa, perhaps. Watch out for a late-month tendency to go to extremes in fitness-related activities.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
Your intellect gets the better of you this month. Give your partner the benefit of the doubt rather than reading too much into every remark. Good financial news arrives after the 19th. Look forward to achievements made in the field of art or design.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Managerial skills shine. You’re organized, and people respect your work ethic. Continue to take a stand in a family matter — you’ll receive support from an unexpected source. Avoid a late-month tendency to cram too much into your hectic schedule.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
This is your most interesting month in a while. It includes a combination of moves and promotions. Behind the scenes, surprises — mostly happy ones — are being planned for you.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
It’s an excellent month for long-term planning, with the emphasis on finance and health. You receive mixed signals from someone you’re growing to like, and you’ll figure out the underlying message by the 31st.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
The time is right to fulfill an old promise to yourself. There’s good financial news, too, but don’t share it yet. Be aware of jealous types between the 11th and 23rd. Don’t read too much into late-month flirtations.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
You climb your way to the A-list during a month packed with social activities. Remember: taking an unpopular position won’t make you less popular.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
If you’ve lost faith in someone or something, it can be restored this month. You also discover that you have a surprise fan or benefactor. Avoid making snap decisions late in October — especially ones involving your financial future.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Mysteries are solved this month. You understand the reasons behind a friend’s erratic behaviour, and hinted-at changes are finally revealed. After the 24th, you’re too soft a touch — and people know it.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Your most important challenge is reading people — for example, are you dealing with a concerned person...or a gossip? It’s an excellent month to clear up misunderstandings with friends of the opposite sex.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Family-related stress eases up thanks to your recent efforts. Work pressure intensifies, however, until you decide not to suffer in silence. Expansion is a theme of the month. Translation: you may move into a larger space or receive unexpected cash.
