You are more open to change and you are filled with
This is an excellent period to get in touch with the past conditioning that makes you what you are today. Periods when you completely relax and retreat, removing yourself from everyday affairs, will be especially beneficial. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This is a good time to take a course, to reach out to others, and to grab the attention of an audience. Favorable Dates : Sep 1, 5, 10, 14, 19, 23 Oct 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 25 Favorable Colors : Green & Yellow
inspiration, creative and otherwise. You have more faith that your efforts are counting for something and responsibilities can be more satisfying and enjoyable as a result. Unexpected opportunities to express yourself or to break free of bad habits appear in this period. You’re still in an incubation stage in September when it comes to your love life and affections – there are things to process and perhaps some healing to do before you’re clear. Your charm moves forward in October. Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 7, 11, 16, 20, 25 Oct 5, 8, 14, 17, 23, 26 Favorable Colors : White & Blue
LEO
TAURUS April 20 - May 20 It’s a great time for building something exciting! You may find ways to combine adventuresome activities with practical accomplishment. You may increase your knowledge and skills set, and find much enjoyment in so doing. Neighbours, casual acquaintances, or relatives could be especially beneficial now. Periods when you completely relax and retreat, removing yourself from everyday affairs, will be especially beneficial. You are also markedly introspective at some of the times isolating yourself from worldly activities and acquaintances in some manner. Favorable Dates : Sep 4, 7, 13, 16, 22, 25 Oct 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 26 Favorable Colors : Red & Purple
July 23 - August 22 Your personality remains sparkling. That twinkle in your eye returns, and the pace of your life picks up. You want to surround yourself with people who will nurture and encourage you. This is also a good time to work on strengthening your inner foundation to improve your sense of security and confidence. Projects begun now can have long-term benefits. Finances are likely to be quite strong and reliable now. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 8, 11, 17, 20, 26 Oct 6, 8, 15, 17, 24, 26 Favorable Colors : Grey & Purple
GEMINI
VIRGO
May 21 - June 20 You are more goal-oriented in general in this period–your eye is on the prize and you are keeping in mind the longterm effects of everything that you do. You would be able to stabilize your work or income without sacrificing your freedom and independence. It’s a good time to make a real go of selfemployment, and for others to find more enjoyable ways to make a living. You express your ideas with more enthusiasm, and they are received well. You tend to deal with endings rather than new beginnings. Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 6, 12, 15, 21, 24 Oct 4, 7, 13, 16, 22, 25 Favorable Colors : White & Yellow
August 23 - September 22 This is a good time to increase your finances, and you could be presented with many opportunities to do so. You feel more confident and secure, and you can do things to increase you confidence and security even more. Because of this confidence and security, you’re calmer, and don’t get swayed by ups and downs as much as usual. You are looking at the long term and planning ahead. You can get a grip on your anxiety and find some inner calm. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. Favorable Dates : Sep 5, 7, 14, 16, 23, 25 Oct 3, 9, 12, 18, 21, 27 Favorable Colors : Red & Yellow

HOROSCOPE SEPT & OCT 2018 By Manish Kumar Arora
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
September 23 - October 22
December 22 - January 19
It can be a time of tremendous personal appeal as well as life-changing, positive experiences that expand your mind. You have increased faith, not only in yourself but in life itself, which helps you to achieve what you set out to do. Trips, new interests, and diversions could be especially rewarding for you–-they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You have a greater need for privacy and “down time” in general in this period, even if you don’t know it! Favorable Dates : Sep 7, 9, 16, 18, 25, 27 Oct 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26 Favorable Colors : Purple & Red
You are likely to be brimming with ideas about how to go about manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. Networking remains strong for you and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas. This period offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It’s natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! You are called upon to learn the value of the team. Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25 Oct 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 26 Favorable Colors : Purple & Green
SCORPIO
AQUARIUS
October 23 - November 21
January 20 - February 18
You would see the value of more structure and definition in your life. You make the most progress by honouring some tried and true traditions, even if this seems counterintuitive. Opportunities for love tend to be close to home– even in your own neighbourhood. Friendship “tests” are likely, in that you will be weeding out superficial ones and valuing the more solid and stable friends in your life. Your overall perspective on life has been expanding, and you are more willing to embrace unusual, mystical, or spiritual philosophies. Favorable Dates : Sep 1, 6, 10, 15, 19, 24 Oct 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26 Favorable Colors : White & Green
This is a time when you free yourself of personal inhibitions that may have been part of your life in the past. It’s a time of more spontaneous expression. You may derive enjoyment from getting in touch with your roots or family traditions, although this process is likely nothing very new to you. Events are such that you move towards a more balanced approach to your social life, balancing objective and subjective approaches to the people in your life, and cultivating true friendships. Finances are likely to be quite strong and reliable now Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25 Oct 4, 8, 13, 17, 22, 26 Favorable Colors : White & Green
SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21 You have more faith that your efforts are counting for something and responsibilities can be more satisfying and enjoyable as a result. You’re able to work hard and play hard now, or simply enjoy a healthier balance between work and play. It’s a time for making connections, meeting people, and becoming more active with friends, partners, and lovers. Conversations that left you stumped earlier can start to make sense in this period. A more solid sense of belonging is experienced now. You know whom you can rely upon, and they know they can rely upon you.

PISCES February 19 - March 20 You are learning to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play in a big way. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are likely to learn that privacy and more down time are good for your soul, and some of you will be learning to get over your fears of being alone. Favorable Dates : Sep 5, 7, 14, 16, 23, 25 Oct 7, 8, 16, 17, 25, 26 Favorable Colors : Yellow & Red
