OCTOBER 20 – 27
♈ ARIES (First Responders, Go-Getters)
You’re ready to kick down doors (literally or metaphorically) and save the day. This week, your energy is high—but so is your paperwork pile. Heroism is great but remember — even legends submit reports on time. Channel your fire into progress, not into yelling at the copier.
♉ TAURUS (DPW, Public Works, The Backbone of Civilization)
Slow and steady wins the race… but this week someone will ask you to “just throw together a quick fix.” Don’t fall for it. You know that “quick fix” becomes a 3-month project with 14 meetings. Stand your ground, sip your coffee, and let everyone know quality takes time (and maybe a new backhoe).
♊ GEMINI (Admin, Communications, Multi-Task Masters)
You’ll have 27 browser tabs open—emotionally and professionally. Someone will ask, “Can you handle one more thing?” and you’ll say yes before they even finish. It’s okay to delegate! You’re a Gemini, not an octopus. Also: double-check your emails—you might accidentally send a reply-all masterpiece.
♋ CANCER (Parks & Rec, Community-Oriented Hearts)
You care about everyone… maybe too much. This week, set boundaries before you end up planning 6 community picnics, refereeing pickleball drama, and comforting a raccoon. Lean into your nurturing side—but not every crisis is yours to hug into submission.
♌ LEO (Elected Officials, Leadership, Front-and-Center Folks)
The spotlight finds you—probably because you’re already holding the mic. This week, your confidence is contagious but make sure you’re also listening to your team. A great leader shares credit… and snacks. Bonus: People will actually laugh at your jokes in meetings.
♍ VIRGO (Inspectors, Planners, Detail Wizards)
You are the reason things don’t collapse—literally. This week, your perfectionism serves you well… but try not to correct every tiny mistake in the 47-page report. Take a deep breath. Step away from the red pen. Treat yourself to neatly organized spreadsheets as a reward.
♎ LIBRA (HR, Mediation, Balance Keepers)
Somebody’s going to start drama. You will be summoned. You’ll mediate like a pro—diplomatic, calm, possibly armed with snacks. Just don’t get stuck in the eternal loop of, “Well, to be fair…” You’re the glue, but glue also needs rest.
♏ SCORPIO (Police, Investigators, Behind-the-Scenes Masterminds)
You sense everything this week—good luck to anyone trying to hide snacks or secrets. Use your intensity for good, not for glaring at people who schedule 8 AM meetings. Your instincts are spot-on… just maybe soften your “I know everything” face.
♐ SAGITTARIUS (Fire, Field Crew, Adventurers)
You’re ready to run toward the action—sirens, emergencies, or maybe just free donuts. This week brings excitement, but also… safety briefings. Lots of them. Try not to roll your eyes too loudly. Your enthusiasm inspires others, so keep spreading the good vibes.
♑ CAPRICORN (Finance, Budget Masters, The Responsible Ones)
Budgets. Deadlines. Efficiency. You live for it. This week, someone will say, “Let’s just spend it and figure it out later,” and you’ll need to lie down. Your discipline keeps the city standing—take pride in being the unofficial boss of common sense.
♒ AQUARIUS (IT, Innovation, “Why Did It Break?” Departments)
You’ll fix 10 problems no one knew existed. You’re the tech wizard, the idea generator, the “have we considered using a drone for this?” person. This week, your creativity shines—but remember humans need explanations longer than 5 seconds.
♓ PISCES (Social Services, Dispatch, Emotional Support Champions)
You absorb everyone’s feelings like a sponge—this week, wring yourself out. It’s okay to say, “That sounds rough… try emailing someone else!” Your empathy is magic, but self-care is your shield. Also, weird dreams = high intuition. Trust them.
