October forecast for Dragon

You are tempted to throw caution into the autumn wind and to rise to any challenges without a pause for thought for this month. Pause and be a little cautious instead. There are a number of matters requiring your time and attention and you believe that you can sort them all out at the same time with a wave of your magic wand. Don’t be too surprised when the magic words don’t have much of an effect and you end up wondering how you got yourself in a situation where you are trying to achieve so much in a limited time.

Maybe you need to accept you cannot do it all by yourself and find a helping hand before things get out of hand. A lot of drama can be avoided this month by not over-committing yourself. You love to say yes to as many things as possible. There are occasions when you would be doing your friends more of a favour by saying no, when you know you are not available to help, even though you would truly love to. Slow down your words and actions and you can keep a level head this month.

Love

If you said something you wish you hadn’t to your beloved, just apologise. It is tempting to create dramatic excuses about problems with their hearing or the echo in the room, but you will save face and earn more respect by simply being honest about hurting your other half’s feelings. Single Dragons, think before you chat to someone attractive.

Career

Opportunities to shine, in front of those at the top, roll into your in-tray during Dog month. A hectic schedule can bring about a sense of impending chaos. Stay calm and collected in all the excitement. Check the finer details before reporting on anything to your superiors.

Money

There is a difference between giving yourself a treat and being overly extravagant on the spur of the moment. Don’t carry too much cash on your person and leave your credit cards in a safe place at home before you go out of the house. Pause before you purchase.
