Aries 

Jupiter, lord of fortune, favours you Rams from fiery Sagittarius. The wider world, travel, overseas links and communications will treat you well. But, as the jolly giant clashes with revolutionary Uranus for the third time in the first week, anything can happen. Extraordinary developments, surprises or 'out of the blue' events will feature. Unusual people or ideas will draw you, so be careful with involvements. Step back from extravagance in others. Opt for real cooperation.

With Mercury and Mars heading for reverse motion phases in the next few months as Venus picks up speed, things could be unsteady or uneven with plans and action. Social relations will provide the juice to get things moving, especially work-related dealings or negotiations. Keep it simple and practical. The Sun is in Libra so keep your mind on harmony and focus on loved ones or close associates. Forge bonds at the New Moon in Libra on Oct 11th. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio the next day so you may find fiscal conditions or obligations aren't what you expected in new agreements.

The period from here to the end of the month is a poor one for financial contracts or deals. Be careful of joint involvements. It's a funny line to walk. You need to be discerning and practical and yet, unless you take a risk, you may not break from the pattern you're in. With Saturn in Virgo for the next two years, it's time to set new routines for work or health and to get new activities or skills into operation. Watch for the return of old conditions or connections with work or health from Oct 23rd.

Oct 24th brings the Sun to Scorpio so finance and intimacy are in focus. The Full Moon follows in Taurus on Oct 26th, so you'll know just where you stand with money, personal spending and possessions. Intense discussion or revised deals will come on Oct 27th.
