You might even want to give your friends the chance to run the show for a while, and enjoy being part of the magic instead of managing it. Savour every chance that spooky season provides to relieve stress and reconnect to your joy.
Aquarius
Do you feel change in the air, Aquarius? This October could usher in some major shifts to your schedule that allow you to make more time for fun.
