Ready for a shift? As the Sun enters Scorpio, you'll have an opportunity to transform a relationship, perhaps by starting again or improving on what you have. Change is in the air!

The Mercury/Saturn alignment brings an intriguing conversation your way, and one that could turn into a profound opportunity. Pay close attention to who you're chatting with, because this person may hold some serious influence. It's likely not just small talk and you don't have to rush into anything. Instead, just let the conversation flow naturally, and see where it leads, Taurus.

Someone's words might affect you the wrong way today, leaving you feeling a bit irritated or even hurt. Before you let it get under your skin, consider that they're likely out of sorts themselves. It's not about you, so try not to take it personally. Besides, you've got better things to do than dwell on someone else's mood swings. Some self-care could go down a treat just now.

Being an earth sign, you understand more than most, that things need to stack up in a practical way. And if there's any part of your world which is not quite as tickety-boo as it could be, October is a fine month to grapple with this. Your ruler gives you support, insofar as if you need to work closely with others, you can build the goodwill to get their help too. However, your love of luxuries may need some care. The last part of the month is the time to build up co-operation, but someone may seem unhelpful late on.
