October 2016 Forecast: CANCER, LEO, VIRGO

CANCER: Moon rules over your sign. All through this month, your primary focus will be on your children (if you have any). You may think a lot about someone you love, please be careful what you say to your loved ones as they may be touchy about criticism and may not welcome any unwarranted advice from you. The first 15 days of this month, there may be a flurry of activity around you and you may find it difficult to deal with the constant ringing of phone. On a positive note, you may receive some important phone call or news. You may also have something important to talk with your brother/sister/ cousin. Your relationship with your neighbors, brother/sisters or some close friends may also undergo some change or something important may happen in their lives in coming two months (which they will share with you!). On professional front, this is the ideal time to publicize your work, give interviews or apply for new positions; the response may surprise you. Two dates- 16^th and 19^th- are tricky, even a day before and after. Sometimes, we can through our mental strength and personality can avoid unpleasant happenings or challenges but other times, we may have no control (likes these dates) over the flow of events, however it is my belief, the prior knowledge is always helpful.

LEO: Sun rules over your sign. The focus this month will be on finances. Mercury placed in your sign is having powerful parivatan yoga with Sun, placed in your financial sector. Jupiter and Sun, from 1^st through 17^th, hold immense energy and will activate the period of 6 months to increase your personal net-worth, help you save money in your bank, pay off old loans or debts, or buy some jewelry; these are some examples of how this beautiful planetary combination can affect you. Strange, as it may sound to you, you may indulge spending money on dining out, eating wonderfully tasty food, getting some beauty treatments for my women readers (actually, nowadays even most men also), so you get the idea, money comes, you save some but you spend some too. Social research has shown there is a direct link between money and personal confidence. Realizing your own personal worth will make you more confident and hence deal with challenges of life confidently. Please circle dates-16^th through 20^th, these dates are especially not good for money, so avoid borrowing, lending or investing money, if possible. 

VIRGO: Planet mercury rules over your sign. Planet Jupiter is traveling through your sign bringing growth, prosperity and good luck with it for you. However, Jupiter is in hard angle to Mars, this indicates there may be immense pressure and tensions (probably) in your personal or professional life, dealing with someone who is authoritative and stubborn may not be easy for you, a kind of power struggle. Totally surprising and sudden occurrence of events may catch you on wrong foot. However, Virgo’s, the prior knowledge of this is, I believe, the best advantage of reading astrological forecasts.  As there is a popular saying ~ “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” I think we would all agree that we learn more from our tough times than from good, it shapes and improves our personality too. This month it seems universe understands all your difficulties, so you have Jupiter, the planet of growth and prosperity, giving you courage and drive to overcome difficulties. You are likely to see benefits to your earning and savings too. You will realize your personal potential and express yourself more fully.
