Cancer, October 2016

October is mix of demanding and totally chill. You'll be a busy crab this month, Cancer.

October opens with a lot of Water sign action: Venus in Scorpio connects with Neptune in Pisces on October 1. This suits you perfectly—you're a Water sign, too! What are Water signs like? They're weepy and whiny on a sad day, flaky as fuck under pressure, tenacious and able to weather pain unlike anyone else, and psychic, emotional, and creative. You're lots of things, dear Cancer, and early this month you'll really feel like you can do anything.

Sweet, sexy Venus in mysterious Scorpio is creating major passion in both your love life and in your creative world. On October 1, when it connects with dreamy Neptune in imaginative Pisces, some excellent adventures will open up to you. The energy is very fairytale—be prepared to be swept off your feet.

Your focus shifts to your personal life on October 7 when chatty Mercury enters Libra and lights up the sector of your chart that rules your home and family. Have an issue you need to talk out with a family member or a roomie? Libra's cooperative vibe will help you! People want to get along under Libra's influence (and this will make your home life way easier!).

The entire first part of the month will be big for you on the home front because the Sun in Libra is lighting up that sector of your chart. While you'll feel compelled to sort out these issues, you'll be pulled away from your home quite often mid-month in order to focus on your professional goals, your reputation, and your public life.

You're lots of things, dear Cancer, and early this month you'll really feel like you can do anything.

The full moon in Aries will be major for you on the career front. Expect a climax to take place around your professional efforts or around being recognized: This full moon is lighting up the fame and fortune sector of your chart! Cancers aren't famous for loving the spotlight, but under this Aries full moon, yeah, you will.

But will it all go smoothly? Probably not, Cancer, thanks to Uranus, the planet of surprise opposing the Sun on October 15. Uranus in Aries has been throwing a lot of curveballs your way on the career front. When it's challenged by the Sun in Libra, you'll be forced to confront some of these issues. On October 20, Mercury in Libra also opposes Uranus in Aries, so expect some surprising news or conversations then concerning your career or reputation.

On October 18, the planet of love and money, Venus, enters Fire sign Sagittarius and lights up the part of your chart that rules your day job, your chores, and your health and habits. Did you flip out at work during the full moon and quit your job? Well, Venus in Sag will help you charm your way into a new position. This is also a wonderful time to pick up a new wellness or beauty routine. Taking a magical bath or indulging in some face masks will make Venus very happy!

Watch out for October 29, when Venus meets serious Saturn: You'll need to be on your best, most responsible behavior today! Do your chores. No slacking, little crab. This is also a fantastic time to kick a bad habit—Saturn, the planet of commitment, will have you covered.

This full moon is lighting up the fame and fortune sector of your chart!

A powerful, potent day for your relationships this month is October 19, when Mars meets Pluto in Capricorn. This energy is explosive, passionate, aggressive, and transformative. Intense cravings will take over in your relationships—both romantic and nonromantic. If a fight's been waiting to happen, things will blow over now. However, a seriously hot and heavy make-out session is also likely. Make the most of this, Cancer! Definitely wear some red or some leather today.

Water vibes take over again in the second half of the month when the Sun and then Mercury enters Scorpio, on October 22 and October 24, respectively. In Scorpio, these planets will light up the romance and creativity sector of your chart, which will be a lot of fun. This is a fantastically creative time for you, and you'll be in an especially flirtatious mood. If you're in relationships that are dragging you down emotionally, creatively or socially, you need to let them go so that you can enjoy the fun that the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio throw your way.

Scorpio is mysterious, sexy and fearless. This won't be a boring time, Cancer, unless you stick around with people who don't let you explore yourself and surroundings fully. In need of a fresh start around romance and creativity? No worries: The new moon in Scorpio on October 30 definitely has your back. Inspiring new people and places will enter your life—make room for them.

The month closes much like it began: Mercury connects with dreamy Neptune during the new moon on October 30. Your psychic abilities will be strong, and exciting messages—both from other and from your own intuition—are coming your way. A special heart-to-heart may take place at this time, and you could also connect with someone who really understands you on a spiritual level. Sounds like a good way to end the month to me! See you in November, Cancer!
