Your SmartScope for October 2008:

Watch what you say at the start of the month. A harmless joke or careless comment, made around the 7th, will actually hurt some feelings. Instead of letting it become an issue, just tell whomever you offend that you are sincerely sorry. They'll see that you didn't mean anything mean and by mid-month things will be back to normal between you two. After the 22nd, it's your turn to wonder what somebody meant by something they said. Just remember your own experience with that earlier this month. They probably don't mean what you think! Keep in mind that this month's theme is all about forgiving and forgetting!

About You, Taurus:

The Myth: Taurus is said to represent many things, including the form of the bull that Zeus (the King of Greek Gods) takes in order to win over Europa, a Greek beauty. Additionally, Taurus is associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love), the Egyptian goddess Isis (known as the ideal mother and patron of nature and magic), the Norse goddess Freyja (the Goddess of Love and Beauty), and the Greek god Dionysus (the God of Wine), the Aztec god Xolotl (the God of Lightning and Death) and the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl (the Creator God).
Cool Fact: The Taurus constellation is home to the Crab Nebula, leftover from a huge supernova that occurred almost 1,000 years ago - on July 4, 1054, to be exact. The astronomical explosion was visible from Earth and was documented in Chinese history texts.
