You are the embodiment of a powerhouse at the moment, Capricorn. With the majority of the planets doing your bidding, how can you lose? Embrace your shadow side and use it for the good. Face your own demons and turn them into allies. With so many planets occupying the darker waters of Scorpio this month, there is no surface-skimming allowed. It’s time to get to the bottom of issues that have been plaguing you for eons. Deep questions receive deep answers. All of life takes on a sexier tone, and you’re in love with all things black. The New Moon in your career sector on 7 October is the most auspicious time of year to plant the seeds for your loftiest professional ambitions to date. Take advantage of this stellar time to get yourself on the map as the tour de force you truly are. On the 22nd, the second Full Moon in Aries in two months hits your domestic sector. Drama could explode on the home front or with family (potentially on your mum’s side). Be extra kind to yourself (and others).
Capricorn
The old adage about there being no such thing as a free lunch doesn’t need repeating to Capricorns, most of whom seem to fear that debtors’ gaol is waiting if they slacken their fiercesome work rate. In October, however, you should at least be able to find some congenial fellows with whom you can break bread. Indeed, the emphasis on the sector of your solar ‘scope concerned with fellow travellers continues all the way through to your birthday.
In part, this sector is concerned with mutual back-scratching and deal-making – politics as usual – but there is also an element of idealism in play this autumn that asks how you can best project your values into the wider world. Societies, committees and other conglomerates have a powerful role to play, whether it’s your profession involved or off-duty activities in the angling club, gardening group or community choir. Finding your way into the charmed circle may take time, but you are promised pay off before Christmas.
In the more solitary realms of your work, there’s little wiggle room. The Sun and your ruler Saturn are allied at the peak of your ‘scope as October begins, and while the new Moon of the 8th favours a relaunch of your professional plans, the demands upon you, and the pace of events, looks unrelenting for now and, again, through to year’s end. Over your birthday month you have to ease off, like it or not. Until then barter with the establishment (very patriarchal if you’re female) while preserving your own power. You get stronger as the year draws to a close.
Pluto’s slow but inexorable progress through your sign is focused principally upon those born around Christmas. The so-called (by astronomers) ‘dwarf planet’ can signal momentous times; the triumph of Ed Miliband (born 24/12 1969) as Pluto crossed his Sun is a case in point. What do you really want and how far are you prepared to go to get it?
Is there any space for your intimate life? Friendships abound, though it’s you that must compromise to make them tick. Power points for Capricorn romantics are where you find them; the 13th/14th, for example, or weekend of the 23rd/24th. If you’re single, work is where your targets are likely to be found. If you’re hitched, your shared past remains a potent bond to be celebrated and renewed.

Your October Monthly Forecast: Wouldn't it be wonderful to be a robot? To have no feelings, emotions or involvement. To lead an entirely functional existence based around the fulfilment of practical need and the carrying out of duty. To have no opinions one way or another. No preferences, passions, dreams or desires. Wouldn't you be safe then? Wouldn't you be protected from the anguish of a potential disappointment? I ask only because Saturn continues to form tense alignments. You feel vulnerable. You fear there is a lot at stake. But when you end up with the very thing that you want so much, you'll be glad you've got a heart with which to feel happy!
