Capricorn Monthly Horoscope

October is a month that tells you to "go back, review and gather yourself," Capricorn. This month events don't rush by outside; instead, you turn inward and revisit matters you've been carrying for a while. An old issue, an unfinished matter or a decision you've been putting off may come back before you. It's a period to look at things not in a hurry, but slowly and thoroughly.

This month you'll be most concerned with yourself, your energy and the new direction you want to give your life. Just be aware that from the start of the month there's a reviewing mood around relationships and the things you value; the question "what do I really want, what do I value?" slowly comes onto your agenda. In the last week of the month a period open to small mix-ups in communication begins; so hold off a bit on big decisions, turn inward and listen to yourself. You don't always have to move forward; sometimes stopping to look is moving forward too.

Love and relationships: This month old matters and the past come up again in your love life. A matter that hasn't been talked about for a while, or even an old love, may come back before you. Don't make big decisions right away; this is more a time to think about "what do I value, what does this relationship add to me?" For those in a relationship, being patient and understanding matters a lot; don't blow small tensions out of proportion. If you're single, a familiar someone from the past may come back into your life, but don't rush.

Career and money: On the work side, focus this month on tidying up what already exists rather than starting new things. Especially in the last week of the month, read contracts twice, be patient in important conversations and act carefully against misunderstandings. Look over a message or an email once more before sending it. Manage your money a bit cautiously this month too; if you can, wait until the end of the month for big purchases and new deals. It's solidity, not haste, that pays off.

Health and energy: This month your energy flows inward rather than outward; you may feel a little subdued or thoughtful, and that's normal. Most of your tiredness is actually mental. You're a Capricorn; stress shows up most in your knees, bones and skin, so protect them. Keep warm, don't overload yourself and look after your sleep. Short walks and calm breathing breaks will do you a lot of good in gathering yourself.

Dates to watch: October 3rd - a review begins around relationships and the matters you value, and old issues may come up. October 23rd - after this date the mood deepens, and it becomes easier to turn inward and rest. October 24th - from this day on, watch for mix-ups in communication, and handle important conversations and decisions patiently.

Advice of the month: This month, go "deeper," not "faster," Capricorn. First get clear on yourself and what you want; when the right time comes, taking action will be much easier.
