CR Times Horoscope – Oct 8th to Oct 14th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 There is a sense of karmic justice that is very strong this week. Keep in mind that “getting even”, has a price as well. You challenge this week is to pick your battles carefully; seeking support from a partner or associate is not a sign of weakness but, rather, finding a balance of giving and receiving strength. Be mindful of legal obligations late in the week and make sure that they are all fulfilled.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Learning to develop your self-worth through your own efforts is the challenge this week. You can become so wrapped up in the needs and drama of those around you that you lose sight of your own goals and how to achieve them. Some minor financial turmoil at the beginning of the week could get blown out of proportion and cause you to over-react. Take that extra minute to look at the big picture and things will turn out fine.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This is a good week to plan new beginnings and projects, particularly those in the career and relationship realms. Your optimism and willingness to expand your knowledge in these areas is reflected in your self confidence. The challenge here is to avoid be distracted by a nagging feeling of doubt about your direction. Trust your intuitive instincts, don’t fear success and keep on keeping on.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Career and work issues collide with your romantic and social plans making this a challenging week. What is required is to break from the constraints of past events which leave you doubting your worth. Recognize the difference between what you want and what you truly need. Getting the proverbial chip off your shoulder can go a long way to making things develop (romantic and career) the way you would like them to.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 Echoes of the past seem to be blocking the path to the future this week. Letting go of that which has gone before may mean releasing memories or relationships that you have outgrown. Seeking thrills through self-indulgence (i.e. too much partying) is not the answer; different doesn’t always mean better. Understanding that freedom in a relationship doesn’t mean freedom from relationships is a lesson well learned now. .
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Holding onto the emotions of a past love actually act like a psychical prison that is restraining you from finally letting go and being willing to start again. Your challenge is to face the fear of rejection and understand that only in doing so can you free yourself from those emotional chains. Mid-week, a social encounter could provide a kind of enlightenment that, yes, there is a future worth having. Go for it!!
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Lots of ambitious energy this week is making you feel antsy to do “something”; even if you aren’t sure exactly what that “something” is. Impulsive actions can cause needless arguments with potential allies; just because an idea is good doesn’t mean that you have to act on it immediately. Visualizing the process that is required to achieve success will help you succeed in bringing the “finished project” to life.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 Emotional security is the focus this week. Recent events have enhanced your tendency to play everything “close to the vest” with the result being that you may actually be missing out on some support by not letting anyone inside. What is called for now it to reexamine just what (and who) you have defined as “valuable”. As important as material wealth is, emotional “treasures” are worth even more.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 The medium is the message and, this week, the medium is romance and it may only be a short distance away. Your words can, literally, paint a picture of the future so choose them wisely. What may begin as a pleasant interlude could turn into something much more intense by the weekend. This is a time to truly learn about each other; embrace and enjoy the moment.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20This week the focus is on security. There are some issues on the home front that have you doubting your ability to maintain things as they have been. While the financial aspect is important, do not overlook your need to be nurtured even while you are pushing yourself to stabilize things. Accepting the emotional support of family members is not a sign of weakness; rather it will remind you of why you work so hard.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Romantic activities are front and center this week. In the midst of all that passion, you may find that you temporarily lose your focus. It could be difficult knowing exactly where you stand with your love interest. You are more vulnerable emotionally than you may know so major decisions about the future should be put off for now. Your intuition is strong but the information may be flawed especially near week’s end.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 Change merely for the sake of change may not always be a good thing and this week, that point could be driven home in the work realm. Take the time to from a vision of what you are trying to do. Trying to get your point across could rub some both co-workers and friends the wrong way mid-week. Temper your enthusiasm with some moderation in order to avoid stress-related health issues
