CR Times Horoscope – Oct 7th to Oct 13th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Relationships, particularly where work/money are involved are under stress this week. Right from the get go, you find yourself chaffing at the perception of being “controlled”(rightly or wrongly). Rather than giving in to the urge for confrontation, examine things from all sides to make sure your feelings are correct before taking action. Finding common ground is preferable to combat where everyone could lose.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 This is a good week for business matters although your resourcefulness will be challenged. The ability to deal with an unexpected crisis late in the week provides an opportunity for you to make up some financial ground that has recently been lost. Keeping your emotions even is important as events seem to be undermining the fabric of what you felt was secure. Don’t fight the changes, embrace them and move forward.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Expanding your horizons is foremost this week. This is a good time to plan your next adventure-whether that involves a trip to someplace you’ve always been curious about or taking some quiet time to do some internal exploration. This is also a good week for socializing and meeting different people. By week’s end you may a kernel of an idea or concept that captures your imagination. See where it leads.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 This week finds you going overboard where emotions and romance are concerned. Expecting too much from the relationship at this point could lead to disagreements early in the week. The better course is just to let yourself go and enjoy the moment for what it is. Keep in mind that what you may think is a private matter may be more “public” than you might imagine so handle things with care.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 Risk taking in the realm of romance could have some dramatic consequences this week. You can certainly lead but the big question is where are you leading to? Trying to satisfy your desire for passion seems difficult even when your “dream match” seems to have appeared. Emotional volatility mid-week could be costly. Demanding less and asking more can provide the harmony you need. It’s challenging but worth it in the end.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 The picture is cloudy on both the romantic and financial front this week. As a result, you find yourself more anxious than usual. A hoped for clarity didn’t arrive at the beginning of the week and now you doubt recent decisions you have made. Fate and destiny are at play and are not yet ready to show their hand. Instead of focusing on what you perceive as failings, know that they are signposts for the path ahead.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Uneven energies will make this a challenging week particularly in the sphere of personal and romantic relationships. At the beginning of the week your plans get changed leaving you feeling both unloved and doubting your worthiness. Avoid making hasty decisions as you could regret them later on. It may be necessary to step back for a bit until the clouds of insecurity lift and allow you to look beyond the surface of things.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 This week the focus is on money and material security. Insecurity about your financial situation makes you more emotionally defensive than usual. The real challenge is not get so overwhelmed by negativity that it distorts your perception. This is not a time that you can make your influence felt. Just remember that you always work best under pressure and that, for those who truly see, anything can be possible.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Getting to the bottom of things, particularly in career matters, is the focus of this week. The challenge, however, is not to let your impatience make you appear overly forceful or harsh. Some things can’t be rushed so take the time to look below the surface of what you hear or see to tap into the psychical currents that are in play. An issue of trust must be faced at week’s end. The choice is yours to make.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 Financial limitations will force you to make some difficult decisions this week. Trying to balance the need for a level of security at home while pursuing ambitions for the future create emotional tensions mid-week. Your sense of being responsible for everyone’s happiness is strong but can blind you to the fact that your happiness matters as well. Use lessons of the past to guide your steps forward.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 An unexpected or unconventional romance heats things up this week. Yet for all the passion, you find yourself feeling detached. You find yourself longing for some kind of spark to get your creative juices flowing. Emotions from your past are playing a major role in the present. As a result your ability to concentrate may be clouded by illusions. Hold off on any decisions until week’s end-things will be clearer then.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 Lots of enthusiasm this week will help you take care of a lot of day to day matters that you’ve been putting off. Your challenge, however, is not to get so carried away that you lose direction and focus particularly at the start of the week. Stay as flexible as possible since the chance of plans being disrupted or change is high. This could also provide an unexpected benefit as you discover new approaches to old issues.
