Horoscopes (October 8-14)
Find out what’s in store for you this week
It would be easy to get frustrated about a family issue. Let fate take its course and hope it works out for the best. The more you worry about something the worse it tends to get. Think positive and the positive will happen.
The phrase “what if?” seems to be a favourite with you. You have given yourself permission to dream about “impossible” things. With lucky Jupiter starting a year-long stay in your sign you can make those dreams come true.
It’s time to get rid of something that is holding you back from fulfilling your potential. You know what it is but are reluctant to admit that you can live without it. One way or another you are going to have to let it go.
Don’t be too harsh on someone who lets you down this week. They may have been irresponsible but no one is perfect. It will take you a couple of minutes to clear up the mess and they will be grateful for your compassion.
Secret passions stir in your soul. Feelings you didn’t know you had are suddenly making you uncomfortable. You can pretend they do not exist or you can lift the lid and take a peek inside your subconscious.
You may get irritated if someone is flippant about something you consider important. Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong, but it is unlikely you will change their viewpoint any more than they could change yours.
Show employers and others in authority that you are a force to be reckoned with but don’t go over the top. If they think you are being pushy they may decide it’s time to clip your wings. Be effective but don’t be a threat.
You are under no obligation to believe in what others believe in. If your instincts take you in a different direction that is the way you must go, no matter how much others may mock or say you are wasting your time.
If friends or family are critical you must not dismiss it as sour grapes. Deep down you know there is an element of truth in what they say. Be big enough to accept constructive criticism and wise enough to learn from it.
Don’t expect to see eye-to-eye with colleagues or partners this week. The cosmic set-up is somewhat tense at the moment and it will be a rare Cancer indeed who does not get involved in some kind of dispute.
This is no time for day-dreaming or wishful thinking. You can accomplish a great deal this week if you stick to the script and don’t let your mind wander off at a tangent. With the right mental attitude, even routine tasks can be fun.
If someone means a lot to you then you won’t be offended if they want to spend some time alone. It is just that they have a lot on their mind at the moment and need to be free of distractions. If you want to help, give them space.
