Aries Forecast for October 2008

By Susan Miller

October will start out slowly, but try to have patience. You may be tempted to rush, fearful that you will lose an opportunity if you don't push things through to completion, but just the opposite will be true. Some of your most stunning aspects will occur at the end of October, so there is no reason to be anxious. You will prevail in the end.

As you start October, Mercury will still be retrograde. This means that Mercury, planet of communication and negotiation, will be exerting weak vibrations until Mercury turns direct on October 15. However, Mercury will still not be quite "normal" - Mercury will still be exerting quite a bit of confusing information until October 20 at the earliest. Wait until October 20 or beyond to announce your most vital plans and to sign contracts. If you can delay things until the new moon, October 28, all the better.

Mercury retrograde periods are phases when conditions are in flux. It will be almost impossible to see where the road ahead will take you. Mercury retrograde periods are times to look back and review past decisions rather than launch new ones. I suppose it's nature's way to get us to stop rushing, go back and polish up our work, get things organized, and reflect on how we can make things better.

This time Mercury will be retrograde in Libra, filling your partnership house, so getting agreements from key partners, whether in your personal or professional life, will be harder than usual. Give people space - all will be resolved by October's third week, and you'll be glad you held back.

As you begin October, you will have just experienced the new moon that appeared on September 29, and it will still be exerting strong energy in early October. That new moon will help you think about a partnership alliance that you may be considering and will soon make official. As said, your plans may meet with some delays or oppositions, but I don't think they will be too formidable, so keep talking. Search for areas of agreement. After you get to October 20, the pace will pick up and you'll feel optimistic again about your prospects with this individual.

If you were born on March 27, plus or minus four days, you will feel this partnership trend most and perhaps benefit most from them, too.

This month's full moon, October 14 (plus or minus 4 days), will be in Aries, bringing to culmination something dearly important to you. It'll be a matter or wish so personal to you that, as your astrologer, I can't even see what it is from here - only you would know. No matter, you'll know your own mind and may make a direct run to get what you want. Careful, though - don't be too hasty as you will still have another week to wait out for Mercury to stop putting a monkey wrench in your plans.

If you were born on or within five days of April 12, you will feel this full moon quite directly. It should be a time that you feel fulfilled and gratified. Alternatively, you may be proud of an effort you just made and recently completed. Your timing will be excellent for a positive outcome, so keep going.

With Mars in Scorpio all month, from October 4 onward, you may find that you're piling up expenses on your credit card. It may be that you were strongly in control over the past months, but suddenly need things. Once you start shopping, one thing will lead to another - before you know it, you've built up a large amount on your credit card. Ah, the problems with being overly disciplined can mean there's always a danger of swinging from one extreme to the other. Try to hold the line on spending as best you can because you won't want to enter the holidays with high balances if possible.

Despite your high expenses, you have a plethora of good aspects to rake in more cash, so let's look at those for a moment. Jupiter in your house of fame, reputation, and career status will be an enormous protection to you, for this month Jupiter has scheduled a number of high-level meetings on your behalf!

Your first stellar day arrives when Venus and Jupiter trade glances on October 5, a Sunday. This is a great day, but you could feel the benefits as early as October 3 or as late as October 5. It'll be clear you're well liked in your company and/or industry, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suppose that your charm was responsible for some of your luck at this time. Higher-ups enjoy having you around and the best way to see that this happens is to send money your way.

Your next important financial day will arrive a few days later. A confidential or strategic meeting you have on October 9 should lead you in precisely the right direction - toward more money! Venus, in your house of other people's money, will send Uranus, planet of surprise, a lovely, positive beam and as a result you should benefit. The kind of money you would discuss is the kind that comes in one large sum - not salary. It may be a loan, bonus, or commission, for example.

By Monday, October 27, when Mars sends a beam to Jupiter, you'll see that someone upstairs loves your work and will make sure you're well compensated. Yet the money I see coming to you will come in the form of a large-chunk bundle or windfall. It could be a bonus or commission check or insurance payout, or it could come in the form of a prize or gift. Keep your eye on October 27, for good financial luck should follow you.

As if this were not enough, on top of this, you should receive even more good news about money within days. The October 28 new moon will be one of my favorite new moons of the year - circle it in red! What makes this new moon so special is that Mars, your ruler, will be so beautifully cordial to Uranus, planet of surprise, at the very same time. This new moon will fall in your house of "other people's money," so rest assured, if you do have high expenses earlier in the month, events will conspire to see that you end the month with much more than when you entered it.

Romantically, it's a warm and affectionate month when you'll feel more playful and demonstrative than usual. Even if you have no one to love, you will give out very appealing, alluring vibes, perhaps even without realizing how mesmerizing you will be. In this case, all you need to be is out and about - you would not have to do too much!

If you are hoping to find someone new for a possible romantic relationship, be sure to circulate near the full moon in Aries, October 14. With the Sun and Pluto being so friendly, you'll have a good chance of meeting someone intriguing, self-made, and financially stable - a catch!

Halloween, always a highly creative holiday, will be much more so this year, thanks to a lovely interplay between Mars and Uranus. Aries always likes to win, so if you're going to a Halloween party, start getting that prize-winning costume ready early! This year the competition will be stiff! You'll be favored because the moon will be in fellow fire sign Sagittarius. Have fun!

Attached? Best romantic days will be October 1, 3-5, 8-9, 17-18, 21-22, 25, and 31.

Single? Best romantic days will be October 4, 9 (on a trip), 17-18, 21, 22, 25, and 31.

Summary

Mars, your ruler, is tearing through your eighth house of credit, urging you to spend more than usual - and possibly more than you can afford. You may be forced into this situation, however, for an unexpected expense, such as a car or house repair, may be needed, as two examples. Try to save where you can, for this is only a temporary situation. With Mercury retrograde until mid-month, you won't get the full enjoyment from purchases if you shop in early October - wait until October 20 and beyond.

Happily, the good news is that you'll have much more money to spend after the new moon arrives October 28, which will allow you to negotiate for better terms, or to find new sources of funding. Pluto will be in a beneficial position, so it appears you will have a sympathetic, supportive VIP on your side, one who wants to see that you get all the financial compensation you deserve.

An important romantic relationship may begin to captivate you this month, too. The start of the month has you imagining what life might be like if the two of you were to be together. Single and dating Aries may decide to get engaged or even married, a lovely time to do so.

If you are already married, you'll be in the mood to work closer with your mate. You may decide to look at houses together, for example, or look into ways you may be able to start a business, or you may plan a baby. These are some examples, but there are many other possibilities.

The full moon in Aries on October 14 will bring to fruition an endeavor of enormous importance to you. This could be a highly emotional time for you, doubly so if your birthday falls on or near April 12. Take care of your health then too, as you'll be wearing yourself thin. Even good news can be exhausting!

In your career, things should go your way, and you may be discussing compensation. Days when talks should go very well are October 3-5 and 9-10, as well as those days surrounding October 14 (the full moon). Add October 27 too as deserving four stars - on this day Mars and Jupiter will work hard for you. All will be sensational career days when talks and progress leave you smiling.

Key dates:

Career days when you advance your reputation: October 3-5, 14 (plus or minus 3 days), and 27.

Money luck may be strong: October 9

An important project or relationship will crystallize, or exciting news you've waited to hear arrives at the full moon in Aries: October 14.

Mercury stops retrograding: October 15, but wait to October 20 to act

See about a loan, financial aid, or a perks package: October 29-31

Announcing Susan Miller's New TV Show on Comcast cable!

From October 5 onward you can watch my new, weekly TV show "on demand" if you are a Comcast subscriber - and best of all, it will be free. Find my show under the "Paranormal channel."

Each week I will give you a three-minute forecast for the week ahead. You need not sit through all the other signs to hear yours - each show is individualized by sign and week of forecast. View your sign, then your rising sign, or that of a sweetheart, friend, or relative. Access the show any time during the week that you please. Simply go to the Comcast On Demand channels and look for the Paranormal area - you will see my show on astrology under that heading.

I have already taped the first five weeks (times 12 individual signs) and will do more next week - it's been such a creative, enjoyable experience! I love the people at Comcast - they have welcomed my ideas and we are already making changes to the show. My idea was to allow you to send in a video tape of your specific questions so that I can incorporate you, and the answer to your question, into the show. Stay tuned for more information on that - this is an exciting development.

If the show goes well, it may be carried by other cable operators as well. Comcast has 26 million subscribers, so chances are, if you live in the United States (but not in the New York or Los Angeles area) you may already have Comcast. The company has become a leader in on-demand programming. Their standards are high and the production values superb. I know for a fact that a great deal of effort as gone into the production values of my show.

Please do check the show and let us know how you like it. Stay tuned for information about how you can submit questions - all that will appear in this area of Astrology Zone soon.

NEW!  ASTROLOGY ZONE PREMIER™ for Your Mobile Phone

Simply Text "AZP" to 75777

Wondering? "AZP" stands for Astrology Zone Premier™

Now you can get my daily astrological forecast sent to your phone! All major carriers offer my forecasts for subscription!  Simply text the letters "AZP" (note: "AZP" stands for Astrology Zone Premier™) and send to the number 75777.

For the once-a-month cost of a latte at your favorite coffee bar, you can have all the astrological information you need to stay ahead, every day of the year, when you need it most, at your fingertips.

Astrology Zone Premier™ is a new, downloadable application with plenty of bells and whistles, a robust daily mobile service that I know you'll love! Here is what you will get:

• In addition to the short daily written horoscopes, you can opt to see the longer daily version.

• Also on your cell phone, you can check the other 12 signs to see what's happening for your friends (or for your rising sign, also important for you).

• You can now send a forecast from your cell phone to a friend’s cell phone, too!

• Get a list of text alerts to remind you of special dates coming up that month so that you will never be caught unaware of your best days. 

• See special articles I have written that won't appear anywhere else but on your cell phone! One that I love: "Quick Match Lounge Guide," the perfect info to use when you are at a party or lounge. Have you met two interesting people and wonder which to spend a little more time with at the party? Check and see which one I think is best for you!

You may be familiar with my longer Matchmaker article - also available on the phone - but this is short and cute and gives you the info fast!

There are lots of other things too numerous to list and I keep adding more! Try it!

Every carrier works a little differently, so here are the instructions for you:

Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile customers - When you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back with step-by-step instructions on how to download the application.

Example, Verizon customers are told to go to "Get it now," then "Tools on the Go," then "Mind, Body & Soul," and then select Astrology Zone Premier. So, Verizon customers will have to actually exit the Text Message and go back into the menu on their phone. This is something that you, as a Verizon customer, have to do to get any application so it's not a new process, and it's worth the effort!

AT&T and Sprint customers - When you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back that includes a link to the application. It is a more direct process than the one outlined above.

Not all phones are equipped to take new technology, so check first with your provider and explain which phone you own. If you purchased a cell phone in the past year, chances are, your phone is ready.

iPhone - Our application to be approved by Apple very soon. It's nearly ready to announce! (Our engineers have given me a finished version for my iPhone, so if you come to my events in California, you can see it! It is working perfectly, but Apple has to take a look at it first.)

Every carrier sets their own rates, so they vary a bit, but most charge between $3.00 and $4.00 a month for my service. Check with your provider to find out what Astrology Zone Premier™ would cost for you.

You will be able to decide when you want your text forecasts to arrive - the morning of the day of the forecast, or the night before. You're in charge, always!

I hope you will sign up and let me know how you like it!
