October horoscopes: There’s magic in the air

Get ready for Halloween—and the whole month of October—to be a thriller. We’re talking tricks, treats, and a lot of bedroom adventures. (Better have your birth control covered.)

Libra

One minute you’re feeling fiercely independent. The next you’re getting a taste of subservience. Is that making you restless or throwing your mojo off? Has someone claimed you’re giving mixed signals? Hey, it happens. Fortunately, you have epic relationship-smoothing abilities and when the going gets rough, you know how to make things better. All of this is a natural part of relationships and navigating/balancing each other’s needs.

Scorpio

This is one of the most powerful months of the year for you. Perfect for giving someone a smoldering, come-hither look that draws them to you like a moth to flame. You’ve got lots of stamina, passion, and luck. That’s going to make your bedroom a very exciting place, especially between the 25th and the 31st. Prepare to get physical. BTW, if you feel like mentoring someone who appears a little helpless, think twice. You might not be aware of what they really need at this time.

Sagittarius

Wanderlust. Freedom to roam. The call of adventure. You’re feeling it, but your schedule has you bogged down and too busy to do anything but daydream. It’s okay though. Now is your time to get your ducks in a row. Try to enjoy small, sexy outings when you can and save a big trip for another time. In bed, it’s a month where you’ll focus on details, pacing, and learning new things.

Capricorn

You’re really good at making deals. You’re practical and you know how to persuade people. This month, that kind of thing gets even easier and opportunity is going to come to you. Trust your gut and go for it. And if you’ve been in a rut, that ends now. Expect sex to be especially adventurous and exciting. A whole new level of empowerment is about to unfold for you. If you feel restless, that’s just change happening.

Aquarius

You’re being sought out to solve other people’s problems. You’re good at it, but that doesn’t mean you always enjoy it. Try to be understanding when your friends don’t get things as deeply as you do. Not many people are as intuitive and knowing as you are. You’re also feeling very seductive this month and you may want to do wild things in wild places. Have fun being spontaneous, but make sure to connect with your partner’s heart and soul (not just their body).

Pisces

Avoid the rabbit hole. You are a thinker and a dreamer—and those are great traits—but you don’t want to let illusions complicate your life this month. That includes your sex life. If something doesn’t feel quite right, try to focus on what you truly need and what you don’t need. But no criticizing yourself as you do this. Whatever you feel or want is valid and real. And remember: The more you take care of yourself and your needs, the sexier you get.

Aries

Oh Aries, working on patience is not your idea of fun, but it’s a lesson that will make life and relationships better, so try to embrace it. This is a good month to follow your partner’s lead and let them set the pace. If you can soften up a bit, you are going to learn a lot. It might be temporarily awkward (especially in bed), but take a step back and trust this enlightening process.

Taurus

You don’t usually rush into anything. You like things to be steady and true. Well, to hell with that. This month is your very own magic carpet ride. If you’re seeing someone, things are going to go from slow-paced to warp-speed. And OMG the sex is going to get very sensual and awesome, especially after the 24th. Halloween looks like it will be a sexy, exciting night you’ll never forget!

Gemini

Are you feeling a little off? How’s your libido? Is someone trying to pin you down, looking for answers you’re not ready to give? If any of that rings true in October, make sure you find inner breathing room because there seems to be some relationship pressure brewing. Try to remember that the confusion is temporary and things will go smoother soon.

Cancer

During the first half of the month, work or school might suck up a lot of your energy. Please watch your health because the pressure could wear you down. But the tempo is going to pick up where sex is concerned. This is a great time for deeper communication and conflict resolution, which will bring you closer to someone for increased intimacy. That will bubble over into some very hot nights around Halloween.

Leo

Someone from your past may reemerge in October and trigger some emotional stuff around loyalty and friendship. By mid-month, your focus turns to work and/or finances and it looks like you’ll be setting goals and looking for increased respect and admiration. Up your game and you’ll get what you desire. One last thing: Sex has a expansive, spiritual vibe for you now. Try to enjoy the sense of flow and freedom that brings.

Virgo

You feel really, really good and your attraction is becoming more and more powerful, so naturally people are noticing. If you want some, now is the time to get some (if you know what we mean). Just make sure you don’t project fantasies onto partners. What you see is what you get, so keep your eyes wide open. The end of October brings you a very special super-power week. We’re talking extra money, attention, romance, and love. Don’t be suspicious of it or try to deny yourself. Enjoy the ride!

XOXO,
