Aries
A sudden surprise may strike you early in this week. After the shock wears off, you will eventually recognise that this is the best thing that might have happened. It breaks you away from an emotional rut that has had you jammed tightly into a box. You may encounter breakage of mechanical items. Use caution with tools and vehicles.

Taurus
Use special caution when handling beautiful items in your home, office, or vehicle. Breakage is more than normally possible. You may have a need to reconnect to family members who have been out of the loop in your life. Don’t let yourself mope over traumas in bygone times unless your re-consideration teaches you something about the future.

Gemini
Contracts and written communications, along with short distance travel, have go signals early in the week. You may need to consider the needs of your vehicle now. Give it a check-up and a detailing. Many will be considering a car purchase. If you must do so now, then choose a car similar to one from your past.

Cancer
This is a fine week to connect with family members and friends from long ago. It is also possible that you will be interested in refreshing or updating things of beauty in your home or office. Give careful thought if you feel compelled to spend a large sum of money. Your personal tastes may change soon.

Leo
Venus will be in your sign from now through to October 29. You may feel compelled to relive an old relationship pattern. If you remain conscious, you have the option to avoid making the same wrong moves this time around. Stay awake.

Virgo
Venus is turning retrograde in your sign. This suggests that you may be experiencing some odd feelings about yourself in relationship at this time. What you thought was great two weeks ago is now causing you to think again. Don’t force yourself to follow through if it does not feel totally “right”.

Libra
There has been a slowdown in your associations among your community network. Perhaps you have felt tired and simply unable to give what you normally do. You may have become bored with many of those in your usual second tier environment. You may need a break. Now is the time to rest and then clarify which of those activities is really important to you.

Scorpio
Drive and handle tools carefully early in the week. Exercise judiciously. You are likely to be edgy and irritable, thus making an accident of some kind more likely. Circumstances with relationships may be fraught with tension. A seemingly small incident could become a major rift. Maybe it should do so, but take a long thinking break before you cut it to shreds.

Sagittarius
The new business/career direction of the past several months is straining to be expanded. Normally the Archers are always in favour of advancing, but just right now that instinct is holding you back. You are right to wait for more definitive signs before you take a big risk. It may be several months before you can be certain.

Capricorn
You occasionally confuse what you think with who you are. There are those who will disagree with you this week. Just don’t let it become a battle to the death. Your identity is not at stake in this situation. You may not like what is happening, but you can choose a better time later to argue the point.

Aquarius
You may be concentrating on giving practical help to your significant other or to someone else of importance to you. This is a good time to contribute your organising talent to almost anyone who needs it. Now is also a fine time to share thoughts with your partner and work toward mutual agreements.

Pisces
You would be happy to take the first flight to Tahiti and never bat an eye over it. Short of that, you may be taking small mental breaks this week, with lots of daydreaming and drifting. It is possible that you must tend to a physical health situation at this time. Your body rhythm is in a short slump.
