Pisces Forecast for October 2008

By Susan Miller

Congratulate yourself for getting through September, dear Pisces. Last month was, by anyone's estimation who knows astrology, the most difficult of the year. First, Saturn conjoined the Sun on September 3, a depressing aspect that caused all to see harsh realities, but especially Pisces.

The opposition of Uranus and the Sun occurred on Friday, September 12. On Monday, September 15, the full moon appeared in Pisces with Uranus, planet of completely unexpected happenings, and formed a tight opposition to that full moon and to Saturn too, in wide opposition. Sudden news came up, and with Saturn there, it would be impossible to avoid facing up to very hard consequences and realities.

On the heels of all this, Mercury began to retrograde last month on September 23, so as much as you wanted to institute remedies, there were reasons you could not do so quickly. There were obvious reasons to hold back and stop, look, and listen before you announced firm decisions. That left many in limbo, waiting for the moment the smoke would clear.

Pisces born on March 15 plus or minus five days were in the eye of last month's storm, as were those who had Pisces rising from 15-29 degrees, but if you had other planets in the path of this set of astrological aspects, you felt tension, too.

(Note: A rising sign can only be determined by doing a natal chart calculating your day, month, year, and precise time of birth and city. If you've had a chart done, ask your astrologer to tell your rising sign, and read for it along with your Sun sign every month, forever. If you have never had your chart done, I do charts and explain them in an easy-to-understand language. Go to www.MyPersonalHoroscope.com, my other site, for more information.)

If you are one of the lucky Pisces who didn't notice much happening, you may have a February birthday, or have mitigating influences in your chart that made you sail through this period easily.

No matter when your birthday happens be, you are in October and probably feeling a bit of relief. Mercury will still be retrograde until October 15, but by that date Mercury will still be scrambling his signals, keeping you in an environment of smoke and mirrors. Sign no contacts or make any verbal agreements or decisions until October 20. If you can wait until the day after the new moon, October 29, so much the better.

You will notice immediately that you have a strong financial emphasis in the beginning of October. Among other planets, Mercury will retrograde in your eighth house of other people's money, and that alone could cause checks due you to be late. Keep sending reminder statements to those who owe you, but I feel you will not shake free your check(s) until after October 15.

If you have to loan money, pull money from one portfolio to another, or discuss funding with investors for venture capital, you should be pleased with the response you generate, either now or down the line, in a few weeks or months. If you are in the process of getting a divorce, the division of property will be on the agenda or discussions about child support. The new moon that fell on September 29 last month will still be strong as you begin October, so you can make quite a bit of progress in these matters. Your answer will come after Mercury goes direct, October 15 or beyond, or may take longer, but I feel you'll like the result. Paperwork may have errors, so be vigilant and double check everything.

Another big trend that is showing up this month for you is a big and beneficial emphasis on international markets and foreign people and cities, including a possibility for distant travel, within or outside your country. With Mars moving through Scorpio, this area will be very fortunate for you from October 4 thorough November 15.

You will see the truth of this on certain days in October that I will list for you now. As you think about these dates, keep in mind that they will not only be excellent dates to choose for international travel or for deals that you do over the phone with people based afar, but will also be fortunate for publishing and broadcasting ventures and in matters related to academia. If you are in college or grad school, plan to take a major test, or have meetings with college officials planned, the following dates will also be the right ones for you.

October 5, a Sunday, will be one date that is right for all these activities, when Venus and Jupiter will exchange beams, but you may feel the benefits of this aspect as soon as Friday, October 3, and as late as Monday, October 6.

Next, for travel, global relationships, publishing, broadcasting, and college-related discussion will be October 9 and 10, sensational dates when Venus and Uranus in Pisces will be perfectly angled. The moon will be in Pisces on Friday too, making this day even better.

The full moon October 14 will switch your attention back to finances, this time your personal financial obligations, purchases, and income. You may get money, but you'll have to pay money out, too. Still, I love this full moon for you because Neptune, your ruler, will be so sensationally oriented with it and the Sun. Pluto, a financial planet based in your house of career success, will also be very supportive. Most Pisces work in creative fields, and if that describes you, you may sell an artistic project at this full moon and earn a good profit. Your reputation may precede you, and that may help you make the sale.

Financially, a week later, October 21, things will continue to go in your favor. The Sun and Pluto will be in perfect sync, suggesting that you certainly have the attention and support of higher ups.

As you get to the last third of the month, you will see a diminishing emphasis on money and an increasing emphasis on your foreign and distant interests. Watch for your most spectacular day, October 31, when all news will be surprisingly strong.

Romance this month appears to be linked to travel, at least during the first part of October, so if you can take a vacation with your sweetheart or spouse, do so!

Circle your dazzling weekend for love, October 4-5, when Venus, in fellow water sign Scorpio, and Jupiter, in compatible earth sign Capricorn, will waltz across a midnight blue sky strewn with stars as bright as diamonds. This should be a heavenly weekend for you!

If you are single and hoping to meet someone new, be sure to be open to greeting others on Thursday, October 9 or Friday, October 10. With Venus receiving light from Uranus then, you could easily have a highly electric surprise meeting, and when you do, you'll feel the introduction was so fantastic that you'll swear you heard thunder, lightning, and bells in the distance!

Things will keep getting better. One of your best evenings to enjoy love will be Monday, October 27, and you may also feel the benefits as early as Saturday, October 25, allowing you to enjoy a really fun weekend. You may travel on this weekend, too. See what develops.

Another glittering night out will be Friday, October 31 - you're sure to create an outfit that is a true showstopper! Mars in Scorpio will send a wonderful beam to Uranus in Pisces, ensuring that the electricity in the air will positively crackle with excitement. You will generate truly original ideas, and as a Pisces, you are poised to be in the center of this whirlwind of imagination! This is a night you'll want to be out and about, dear Pisces. It's a "must-see" for you, so get that costume ready, beginning now!

As you get closer to the year-end holidays, especially as you approach the last week of December and move into the first half of January, you will reach a magnificent social time. As you see, the best is yet to come!

Romance should be exciting: October 5-6, 9-10, 27, and 31.

Other good romantic evenings in addition to those just mentioned (these are runners up dates): October 11, 16, 19-21, and 28-29.

Summary

You seem to be traveling in October, or at the very least, on the phone and email quite a bit with people abroad or based at a distance within your own country. Mars will begin to heat up your interactions with foreign people and places from October 4 on, and will also increase your interaction with executives who work in the media and academia. All this seems to be work-related, and if so, there's clearly profit to be made, so return those calls and investigate all offers!

Mercury, however, will now be based in your eighth house of other people's money, and will continue to retrograde, a trend that has been in place since September 24. Mercury is not due to turn direct until October 15 and will continue to create confusion until October 20.

During most of this month, you may find important checks run late or are missing. You'd be wise to stay on top of all accounts receivables. At the same time, this would not be a good time to make final financial deals, even with those you know. Feel free to conduct talks, though, but don't sign papers until on or after October 20.

Whatever is going on for you at a distance, or in regard to publishing, broadcasting, or academia, will reach a new and more evolved chapter once the new moon arrives on October 28. The two weeks that follow that new moon will herald an extraordinarily positive time to move assertively forward on current projects. Despite any problems or disappointments you may have encountered over the past few weeks, you will see impressive progress in this area from then on.

Your creative efforts will be lauded, too, and you may get publicity for your work. There's a strong chance you'll be given an opportunity to interact with foreign people or open one or more foreign markets, too. Indeed, import - export of information or goods and services will glitter brightly for you.

You will also be very focused on finances, not only money you earn, but also money you receive from insurance companies, banks, venture capitalists, and others, and money you would pay out to credit card companies and as taxes, as two examples This is actually a fine time for the drawing up savvy year-end tax strategies.

If you anticipate that you may be buying quite a number of gifts for friends and family at holiday time, you may want to put aside money in October for that purpose. With Mercury retrograde most of the month, it would not be a time to actually buy those gifts yet (not until on or after October 20), so starting a stash seems to be the best way to go.

The full moon on October 14 will bring one matter regarding personal finances to culmination or fruition. You may send out a big check or receive one! (Let's hope it's the latter!) If you are in a creative field, you may now be paid a tidy sum for an idea, product, or service you have developed and now sell. The money you see at this time will be money earned, not money you borrow from a bank.

If you need money for any purpose - whether to buy a house, go back to college, or start / expand a business - it appears to be there for you. Make calls, set up meetings, fill out applications, and if applicable, draw up a new or revised business plan.

Venus will enter your career angle of your chart on October 18, ensuring that your popularity with VIPs will stay very strong until mid-November.

Romance this month appears to be linked to travel, at least during the first part of October, so if you can take a vacation with your sweetheart or spouse, do so!

Circle your dazzling weekend for love: October 4-5, when Venus, in fellow water sign Scorpio, and Jupiter, in compatible earth sign Capricorn, will waltz across a midnight blue sky strewn with stars as bright as diamonds. This should be a heavenly weekend for you!

If you are single and hoping to meet someone new, be sure to be open to greeting others on Thursday, October 9 or Friday, October 10. With Venus receiving light from Uranus then, you could easily have a highly electric surprise meeting, and when you do, it will be so fantastic that you may swear you heard thunder, lightning, and bells in the distance!

October 25-27 will be other zinger days, when you'll be surrounded with loving friends. Mars and Jupiter will be elegantly angled, allowing you to see plainly how much you are treasured. This could be the time of the month you're invited to a party or gathering. See what develops!

Dates to remember:

Take care of finances in the start of the month, especially in regard to what's known as "other people's money" - credit, loans, insurance claims, scholarships, rebates, and other areas that come under the umbrella of "other people's money."

Keep up with accounts receivables, as they are likely to run late prior to October 20.

Attend to key personal finances on the full moon: October 14 (plus or minus three days).

Foreign and distant interests sparkle for you all month, however special opportunity seems to arise (or reach a new level) after the new moon October 28 (plus 2 weeks).

Distant travel is highly likely this month and early in November. If that's impossible, you may find you're conversing a great deal over the phone and in email with people afar. Lots of exciting developments can arise all month, but doubly so in October's last week.

Opportunities involving media companies or academia are strong all month, especially after October 26.

Romance should be exciting: October 5-6, 9-10, 27, and 31.

Other good romantic evenings in addition to those just mentioned (these are runners up dates): October 11, 16, 19-21, and 28-29.

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!
