Aries
If you enjoyed The Graduate – particularly the overt overtures of raunchy Mrs Robinson – you’ll like dating on 1 and 8 October when an older, wiser partner could take quite a shine to you. They may tell you off first for interrupting them or some other social misdemeanour, which is a signal they’re secretly keen. Expect to be discussing relationships most of the month, especially after the New Moon of 7 October, but particularly on 16 October when you’ll know all the right things to say. If you get invited to anything on 18 or 19 October that involves wine-tasting, music, photography, dancing, the movies or New Age stuff, or by friends who love any of the above, go. You’re likely to meet a real charmer then.
You’ll be hornier than a tomcat and cartoon skunk Pepe Le Pew on 3 October which has to be the sexiest day of the month – if not the whole year! If you don’t hook up that night, well, you’re a saint, or you’ve stayed home. The last week is quite the smorgasbord with you likely to be suddenly turned on by someone quite different (and even rather sweet) on 20 and 24 October. I think you could amused to be ordered around – Aries DO get sick of being the leader all the time – by a bossy, no-nonsense type who wants to cut straight to the chase on 22 and 26 October. If they’re keen they will send you silent sonar signals through the room which you will pick up, unmistakably. Think that charming sweetheart who looks like butter wouldn’t melt in his/her mouth is gazing at you innocently on 25 and 28 October? Think again.

Taurus
Part of the work you have to do to be chosen as a partner is looking goooood! I won’t hassle you about cutting out cigarettes/chocolate/cheese/chardonnay etc, nor about how you should exercise daily yada yada as I know you already know about all that palaver (and uh, how are you going with that?). But looking good also means shopping for a new wardrobe so you’ll be happy to hear that great dates to hit the mall or the online version of it – to invest in your love life, of course – include 1, 7, 8, 16, 18 and 19 October which are ironically, the dates on which you could meet vegetarians, joggers and yoga nuts. Curiously enough, if you buy good clothes that can go straight from the office to your after-five events, your boss may notice you more favourably when it comes time for a raise and/or promotion, too.
Anyway, all this just preamble as I am delighted to officially inform you, dear Taurus, that October is YOUR month to find The One! You have an amazing number of dates on which you could meet your future partner. Choose from someone outrageously sexy, hot and hands-on on 3, 25 and 28 October. They’re super-tactile and sensuous – your favourite kind of companion! Look out for a fun-loving and in-your-face hunk/babe who’s friendly and good-humoured on 20 October and another who’s quite unusual, even somewhat of a rebel or IT geek on 24 October. And just to give you yet another relationship dish to choose from, you can also um, investigate a foreign-born mysterious, smouldering type on 22 or 26 October who might work in publishing or the law.

Gemini
Love will be top of your mind as October starts. As a Gemini you want someone you can talk to til the cows come home; being on the same mental wavelength is even more important to you now. Look for someone older or more experienced who can offer you a wise point of view on 1 and 8 October. If you haven’t organised your dating agenda already, you’ll definitely do it after the New Moon of 7 October when you’ll be inspired to find romance. You could meet your match on 16 October, perhaps at a trivia night, and I love the sweet sympathy and kindness of the people you meet on 18 and 19 October. If you feel at peace when you’re with them, and they can just about read your mind, look no further. One more clue: check if they love dancing.
Have you been slack about exercising or over-indulging in all the yummy vices that make you put on weight or that cause your skin to break out? You’ll feel sexier if you eat fruit and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and maybe even do a gym class or a brisk walk before you go out speed dating on 3, 25 and 28 October, when you’re likely to meet those who crackle with good health and vitality. You might even get an offer to um, burn off some more energy with them... Get into work early on 20 and 24 October so you can leave on time to meet potential dates afterwards. They’re fun, unusual and could inspire you – and they may just know someone important in your industry. If you’re ready to put in the spadework to have a committed relationship, you could meet your soulmate on 22 and 26 October.

Cancer
If you’re going out dating on 1 and 8 October you could meet a guy or girl who makes you feel instantly comfortable and has similar attitudes to your father or mother. Since you’re a family person at heart, this is a good thing. If they’re not “parental” in temperament, they could be older companions who work in real estate, construction, architecture, property or agriculture. Either way, you’ll feel safe with them. You may be busy moving or sorting out changes at home from the New Moon of 7 October and may even be signing contracts on 16, 18 and 19 October, with the last two dates especially great for seducing someone at home! Oh, and just a hint, they’ll respond very well to some soulful music and wine (but I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that)!
You’ll be incredibly fired up to get your love life rocking and rolling on 3, 25 and 28 October which are fantastic dates to flirt, charm and enchant the opposite sex who will be suitably enamoured of your seduction techniques. Love at first sight is more than possible then! Look out for a funny foreigner – or travel junkie – on 20 October, and a sexy type who may just have to travel for his or her work in IT, science or aviation on 24 October. If you’re impatient to be someone’s husband or wife and get off the dating merry-go-round, circle the very helpful 22 and 26 October. The people you meet then will be keen to discover your marriage eligibility as fast as possible, but be aware they could ask some thought-provoking questions you wouldn’t even get from your psychologist until after the first few visits. Still, you gotta make your most of your five minutes!

Leo
You could be put under the dating microscope on 1 and 8 October by a no-nonsense type who wants to know your intentions. If you’re not after a long-term relationship, you might feel you’ve gone dating on the wrong night – or you might meet someone who changes your mind. Update your online description and photo, facebook etc on 7 and 16 October to ensure you’re communicating who you really are and what you’re looking for. You could be completely enchanted by a sweetheart on 18 and 19 October who makes you fantasise about a future life together. They might work in hospitality, hospitals, counselling, social work, music or the film industry.
How’s your house set up for bringing dates home? Got nice sheets on the bed, soft lighting, a decent bottle of wine in the cellar and candles to set the mood? Let’s just say that investing in these could really pay dividends, especially on the searingly sexy 3, 25 and 28 October when your dates could be more than willing to come home with you (even on the first night). Listen out for someone who has a dirty, hearty laugh on 20 October – their naughty sense of humour will be very attractive. A sudden attraction to a trades person is possible on 24 October, while sexy freelancers who work from home could catch your gaze – and return it intently – on 22 and 26 October.

Virgo
It’s a rare Virgo who can tolerate a partner who doesn’t work, or if they’re between jobs, isn’t looking for one. You like a (wo)man with a plan so you might find yourself asking, “What do you do for a living” as your first or second speed date question on 1 and 8 October and rule out anyone who gives a half-hearted answer. Making more money will be on your mind following the New Moon on 7 October and you may come up with ways to bring in extra cash on 16, 18 and 19 October. Well, you’re willing to hold down more than one job if necessary. On those nights you could meet someone kind and lovely who works in recruitment or HR or who will slip you the name of someone you should talk to regarding work. Try to stop being a workaholic long enough to notice what beautiful eyes they have...
Still, even though Virgos have a reputation for being prissy, you could be surprisingly, charmingly direct about hooking up this month. As soon as 3 October, if they say the right words, you’re um, “Open sesame”. If you can fall in love with what’s between their ears (you, Gemini and Aquarius really need mental affinity), you’re halfway there. Why not laugh with prospective partners at a trivia night on 20 or 24 October? Your conversations could have you blushing with someone who can see the passionate heart which lies beneath your cool exterior on 22 and 26 October. Get a good friend to objectively review your online profile on 25 and 28 October. A better photo could work wonders and those nights could have you meeting some delightfully urbane types who know exactly how long to wait before calling you.

Libra
Happy birthday Libra! I know how much care you take with your appearance and how easily you can lose your confidence if everything isn’t absolutely perfect, so dress in your best and don’t spend toooooo long in front of the mirror as you go out on 1, 7 and 8 October or you might call the whole night off! These dates are great for getting an annual beauty overhaul (hair, facials, waxing, tanning, nailcare etc) beforehand to make you look at your best. You could meet potential lovers with kids (or find lovely mates who will adore your own) on 16, 18 and 19 October especially if they enjoy photography, the movies, dancing or wine appreciation. In fact, a wine-tasting soiree could be a very successful way to meet new loves then.
You will be thrilled to know that the birthday money rolls in throughout the month and you’ll know exactly how to spend it! On clothes and accessories to appeal to the ladeez (or men) and investing in online stamps and speed dating events to meet fellow singles! With all this emphasis on money, don’t be surprised if you meet charming, sexy companions who work in the financial industry on 3, 25 and 28 October. A well-heeled traveller or a bubbly healthcare or hospitality worker could be very enthusiastic about seeing you again on 20 and 24 October. And circle 22 and 26 October for meeting a salt-of-the-earth character who may ask you surprisingly direct questions about your home life and family structure. Their questions and comments might resonate so much that you have to see them again to talk some more...

Scorpio
Like a brilliant general plotting his army’s moves in secret, you’ll be working out your dating plans behind the scenes for the first half of October, without anyone to interfere, which is just how you like it. If you usually have always-home flatmates or nosy parents (or kids!) trying to spy on you, you’ll be relieved to know you’ve got a modest window in which to conduct a romance with no-one being the wiser. Circle 1, 7 and 8 October to really get to know someone in private. You do want to be in love again after all but you just need time and space to make a good choice. You can have a meaningful conversation on 16 October and on 18 and 19 October you’ll feel you really know them enough to bring ‘em home or to decamp to their place for some um, soul-mating.
I am delighted to announce that you win the prize – hands-down – for being the sexiest and most desired speed date at any event on 3, 25 and 28 October. Whether you’re dressed to the nines or have come straight from work you will light up the room and have others impatient to have their 5 minutes with you! Many of them might ask you directly to tick them. Good-natured sweethearts and single parents on a mission to fall in love will be out in force on 20 and 24 October – keep in mind you are super-fertile right now in case you (don’t) want (more) kids of your own! Match wits with someone who works in the police force, psychology or counselling on the quietly sexy 22 and 26 October. A trivia night, poker game, Risk or Monopoly could be very enjoyable then.

Sagittarius
Saggies usually believe in the more the merrier principle and so it is with your dating too, when you invite mates along on your speed dating nights to have a good laugh together. 1 and 8 October are ideal for bringing a pal who’s much older (or younger) to give each other advice. Unfortunately if you invite someone your own age you could wind up both liking the same person which could be awkward and put pressure on your friendship! In any case, you’re due to expand your social circle with new acquaintances following the New Moon of 7 October and to book up your calendar. You’ll enjoy introducing friends on 16 October and on that date and 18 and 19 October you could meet a lovely potential partner through a wine-tasting, photography, dancing or movie night.
To keep a romance hush-hush while you work out if there’s any future, 3, 25 and 28 October are erotic, private and sensual – perfect for taking the phone off the hook and pulling down the blinds. Just be aware that as enormously appealing as they are, they might not actually be available. You’re also more than likely to hear from old lovers who want to slink back into your life, via facebook, LinkedIn or whatever – but be warned: this could be a temporary affair (literally). If you go dating on 20 and 24 October you’ll wonder if a) you can take them home that night and b) if your family will like them. Well, some people aren’t meant to meet your Mama! Sexual chemistry and commitment is a real possibility with potential partners on 22 and 26 October. If they touch you and you feel a connection, go for it. As Shakira said, “the hips don’t lie”.

Capricorn
Too much career pressure on your plate, or the inability to get away at a reasonable time from work for your speed dating event could dampen dating possibilities on 1 and 8 October but you might be amused to know that your flustered companions are feeling equally under the gun. However, take care that you don’t “disqualify” certain companions despite your strong attraction to them if – quelle horreur! – they don’t (seem to) come from the right school, suburb or “scene”. Your career and public image is due for a revamp on the New Moon of 7 October. A promotion, transfer or raise could juice up your sex appeal, as could snappy new work attire. You could meet another go-getter or someone in a similar industry position you find fascinating on 16 October. Someone who’s a bit of a hippie at heart, even if they work in a multinational conglomerate, could melt your resistance on 18 and 19 October.
Have you ever had secret fantasies about your platonic friends? Thought you might have had a chance once upon a time? One of them might wink saucily in your direction on 3, 25 and 28 October. If none of this applies to you, go out on the town with your most confident and attractive pals on those same dates to attract a swarm of opposite sex bees to your honey. A comedy or trivia night with mates could be an excellent way to meet fun new companions (they might work in IT, sales or media) on 20 and 24 October while they’re also good days to ask for some friendly help upgrading your online descriptions. You could meet someone with whom you want to be way more than friends on 22 and 26 October. Try not to come on tooooo strong.

Aquarius
News from afar, a lawyer or online – it’s good but has long-term consequences – might get you thinking seriously about your next steps in life on 1, 7 and 8 October. If you date then you’ll be after meaningful conversations with companions. Superficial chit-chat could rattle some of you, or help you take your mind off things. You could well meet someone who’s foreign-born, from a different culture, or who loves travelling on 16, 18 and 19 October (ideal for a University-Educated or Global Traveller event) – and you might just let yourself be seduced into taking a romantic couples weekend away on a whim – perhaps to a winery?
Remember the scene in Charlie’s Angels when Lucy Liu has all the IT guys agog when she’s dressed in black, literally cracking a whip at her corporate presentation? Yes, well, similar types of full-on, sexy workaholics could prove super-appealing to you on 3, 25 and 28 October! They’re as gung-ho as you but they’re also balanced enough to make time for romance. That said though, be on your best behaviour as they won’t put up with someone who makes them look bad. Ambitious achievers are also more than likely to flirt madly with you on 22 and 26 October but do check that they’re actually available as they might have a few dates going on the side – or a spouse! Bankers or those who work in finance could make you laugh, especially on 20 October or not be the conventional pin-striped (stuffed) shirt that you expect on 24 October.

Pisces
There’s no real polite way to say it: you’re probably feeling a little sex-starved and even psychologically shell-shocked coming out of a tough relationship. Try not to give your dates the third degree on 1 or 8 October and remember there are others out there longing for a deep romantic connection too. A new chapter in your sex life is due to start following the New Moon of 7 October and you’ll be pleased to know that your “rubbish” radar will have been fixed by then, too. Play “detective” hunting down a worthy partner on 16 October and by 18 and 19 October you’ll have an excellent sense of which soulmate/s are available and willing to get involved.
All this mounting pressure on you has made you feel it’s time to escape! Say yes to any romantic date day trips at the very least, and a big yes if you can swing a dirty weekend away on 3, 25 or 28 October which are also ideal for meeting exotic new companions. Friends could set you up with a sexy, soulful newcomer who’s just in from some faraway place on 22 and 26 October. You’ll be in top flirting form – funny and delightful company – on 20 October and you’ll be willing to shock, surprise and upend your dates’ expectations on 24 October which demands open-mindedness and a sense of adventure.
