It may be September, not October, but you’d think Halloween would come early this year. Plan for all kinds of skeletons coming out of the closet and ghosts of relationships that come back to haunt you. Read on to find out what to expect this month for your sign.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Although you’re feeling really optimistic about your relationship right now, you could be disappointed this month when some of your daydreams about the future don’t work out the way you envisioned. There may be differences of opinion that you and your partner have. Or, if you’re dating, it may become clear that whatever attraction you feel, the bottom line is that you and your love interest are not the same thing. While these conflicts can be debilitating, you’ll thank yourself later for focusing on the things that really matter, no matter what.
Pounds
September 23 – October 22
The ghost of a relationship past may rise this month. Whether it’s a text from an ex or a full-on run in while you’re out and about, you’re going to revisit some unfinished business with an important ex. Clear-minded decisions this year are hard to come by this month, as your energy will go in the direction of irrationality and emotionality. Do not book the wedding venue.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
If there’s something waiting to explode in your current relationship, it’s likely to come out this month. But the way it plays out is likely to come through unrealistic expectations on both sides that aren’t being met. The failure that follows will reveal where your relationship needs a reality check. This month will provide an opportunity to create a healthier and more realistic relationship container for you and your loved one.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
While you may have recently made many enthusiastic promises to your love interest, this month you will be asked to cash the checks you wrote with your words, and you may fall short. This will obviously cause a breach of trust between you and your loved one. To fix, you will need to show up and take care of the practical details that are the backbone of the relationship. Doing so will build trust in the relationship.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
There may be aspects of your relationship that have been on “autopilot” lately, and this month will show you where you need to show up and put in more effort if you’re going to create the love life you really want. But being more present and engaged in your relationship may make you feel a little anxious right now, especially since strong emotions tend to run the show. Communicating better so that you feel centered alone and together will be the best way forward.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You may find yourself putting more effort into your relationships this month, as you will be drawn towards social connectedness. This likely includes time with an acquaintance or love interest. Unfinished business with a former lover may also appear at this time, calling for you to tie up loose ends. While making a decision can be difficult, it’s important to focus on the brass tacks about what’s most important to you.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Your optimism about an important relationship in your life may be a little overdone today. It’s hard to control your emotions, and your wild dreams and fantasies about what the future holds won’t help. This can lead to your bubble bursting in a brutal way, so keep trying to ground yourself in reality throughout the month. And pay attention to what the relationship really is, rather than what you want to project into it.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
There’s likely to be an important relationship from the past that resurfaced at this time, and it’s important to remember why you left it to begin with. Are the reasons you left the main reasons still unresolved? This is an important consideration as you face what could be round two this year. Think carefully about whether this relationship will align with your true self. If you have to abandon yourself to do this, it might be better to quit while you’re ahead.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Your love life will require focus this month, as you can expect to struggle to get along with your partner or love interest. It’s not that the attraction and desire aren’t there, it’s more that your ways of communicating about the direction you’re going in don’t match. While this may sound like a deal-breaker, slowing down and talking thoroughly can help you find a resolution.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
This month will tempt you to get back into bed with someone from your recent past relationship. Is this a good idea? Only time will tell. But for now, it’s irresistible. Physical desire will be more apparent than reason this month. As things progress, sore spots outside the bedroom will resurface. It’s up to you to decide if good sex is enough to carry the relationship.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
This month, an important person in your life wants to change the plans you made together. While outwardly you will be as understanding and generous as ever, you may feel that this is a sign that they are not putting in the same effort as you, which can plant the seeds of deeper conflict. While that may seem unpleasant, if you address it now instead of letting it fester, you can straighten out boundaries and desires this year, ultimately leading to more stability in expectations.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Passionate plans within your relationship may come to a screeching halt when a wrench is thrown this month. Either you or your love may have some unfinished business arising from another relationship in the recent past. Although this may feel a little threatening, and will test the strength of the relationship, the truth will set you free. Tying up loose ends and thinking deeply about what’s most important to you can help you commit to what’s best for you.
