Aquarius Horoscope October 2011

Travel will be very likely now, and at the start of October, any journey you take will be to further your career. You’ll need to be well prepared for any task you take on. In other words, this won’t be an assignment you can “wing” but that you will need to be on your A-game. If you find yourself in a competitive situation, you may feel overwhelmed by pressures, but no worries – you can emerge as the star in this situation as long as you stay on your toes and keep your motivation high.

If you are at the university, exams this month won’t be ones you can breeze though, so careful preparation will pay off. You may feel people are expecting a lot of you during early October, but even so, it’s because you have been exuding an aura of intelligence and capability. You can live up to anyone’s expectations – just don’t become distracted.

The full moon October 11 will allow you to take a short, spontaneous trip for fun and romance, perhaps over the preceding weekend October 9-10, and possibly extending a bit more. Go ahead – go apple picking or wine tasting, or choose a trail to hike through brilliant fall foliage. Still, when you plan your weekend away, stay flexible, for things may come up that could derail your going on the trip, such as too much last minute work to do at the office. (In that case, you may have to leave Saturday morning rather than Friday night, for example.) Be sure to get your car serviced and checked before heading out, for Saturn will be close, so be sure your car will run smoothly. With Mars in Leo, a partner will dominate and advance your relationship. You may be fine with sitting back, for your partner will be glad to lead the way.

You’ll know a great opportunity when you see one on October 28. The offer will pertain to your home or other property. Thanks to a joint effort between Jupiter (luck) and Pluto (power), you will find ways to make your home a savvy investment. Notice the nature of the talks that arise then – it’s a great time to announce intentions that have to do with the buying, selling, leasing of your home or other property or concerning renovations, refinancing, or a decision involving one of your parents.

Your career will get star billing immediately after one of the year’s best new moons, October 26, appears (and in the two weeks that follow). Your actions taken in those two weeks will have the power to change your professional life for the whole year to come. If you’ve wondered when to make your big professional move, it’s now!

With four planets in your house of fame and honors, including the Sun, new moon, Venus, and Mercury, you’ll have VIPs vying for you and wrapped around your little finger. Mercury, in particular, will keep you on point, and the moon and Sun will see to it that you get access to precisely the people who will help you the most. You won’t see any career moment this special again for many months to come. Act now!

As you may have noted, your happiest moments will occur at month’s end, and romance could be part of the mix, too. You may meet someone through the course of your work, so plan to look professional but approachable. If you meet someone new, you will sense good chemistry instantly and intuitively – at month’s end there’ll be almost no challenge too big for you to master.

Dates to Note for Aquarius:

“Be prepared” will be the motto of the month. Saturn will be pressing down on all signs, and you will be among those who will actually benefit most from the heavy-duty planets at play, for all will be in Libra, a sign that blends well with yours.

If taking the law boards or other qualifying exams in early October, you will need to feel prepared, but there’s no reason to feel you can’t ace those tests. You can! A tutor may be helpful.

Travel abroad is indicated in the first half. Those trips would likely be arduous and require a lot of detailed preparation before and after you go – they look to be work related.

A short trip for personal reasons (like fun!) taken over October 11 plus or minus four days will require you to stay flexible. Office work could keep you from leaving Friday night. Have routine maintenance done on your car.

Home-related matters, such as the purchase, sale, or lease of real estate will go spectacularly well on October 28, due to Jupiter and Pluto in perfect angles to each other. This is a very rare aspect, and quite dazzling!

When it comes to love, this is a mildly good month. Your best opportunities to meet will come through your career, thanks to Venus in Scorpio from October 9-31, but overall, you’ll like romance best at the end of October.

Your best romantic dates include: October 1, 2, 6, 15-16, 20, 21, 28, and 29.
