October requires you to be practical and disciplined in all matters. It brings opportunity as well as limitations. Career is a high priority, and you will find yourself putting in overtime. Details will need to be taken care off. There is very little room for slacking, and everyone may be making demands of you. You may feel frustrated and need to blow off steam.

On the other hand, there is also much opportunity implicit in these demands, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the rewards that come your way late in the month. You'll have to respond quickly. You may feel that you are not ready to take on the new challenge that comes with this opportunity, but if you overcome this temporary lack of confidence you will be well rewarded.

This month is demanding in domestic affairs, as well. There is an ongoing need to watch finances carefully, make decisions concerning your budget, and plan for the future. If you have not been keeping a close eye on your checkbook, This month will force you to balance your account and make up for haphazard expenditures of the past.

There's not a whole lot of time for romance this month, but when you can find the time, your partner's love brings perspective and rejuvenation.
