IF OCTOBER 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Looking ahead and careful planning could help you create a more abundant and content future. Rather than focusing on getting the best end of the deal, consider shifting your attention and putting your energies into something that benefits all involved parties. The first part of November could perhaps be a good time to consider making major changes such as making a big purchase, launching new projects, or meeting people who may have your best interest at heart. A previously stable relationship could be on rocky ground later in the second half of November when the strength of someone’s loyalty and commitment might be questioned. Your romantic expectations might not be fulfilled promptly, so remain patient until the dust has settled, any worthwhile relationship should spring back up. Enjoy holiday gatherings and carefree fun in December and focus on achieving your ambitions in January.
