October forecast for Ox

The peak of the mountain is in sight yet the path ahead is still steep and uneven. The prevailing energies of Dog month will help push along your persevering nature to climb on. If you spot a nice cool cave along the way, allow yourself a break. Resting a while will leave you refreshed to make one big push up. Otherwise, you could find yourself making slower and slower tracks as you become weary.

One step at a time is the way to go during Dog month. You would love to fly straight up to reach the peak and enjoy the view of the horizon, but you are realistic enough to know that you are not going to grow wings. Even if the wings appeared on your back, you haven’t had a lot of practice flying. Is halfway up a mountain the best place to practice? The progress you have made so far is down to more than sheer luck. That is not to deny what luck has brought you, but to say that what you have achieved is a combination of steadfast dedication that has made the most of the chances that have crossed your mountain path. Keep where you are going in sight and you will get there this month.

Love

Why not have a song and a dance under the moonlight on the 3rd? If you are a solo Ox looking for a special dance partner, do you need reminding that the full moon is shining on a Saturday night, so let’s hope you are planning to go out somewhere interesting.

Career

Good teamwork will bring good results. The right players need to be in the right positions, and well supervised. If it is your job to lead and fill roles with suitable employees, do not be swayed by what people think they should be doing, go with what you know they can do best. If you are on the team, accept the role and give it your best shot.

Money

First do your financial homework. Pay the bills or earmark funds to do so. With all the essential costs of living accounted for, you can now have a really good idea of what you have left over to play with. Don’t be tempted to go out with the plastic and do your sums later.
