Your October House Horoscope

Horoscopes are obviously the most reliable way to predict your future and explain how you’re feeling. But how often do we consider how the horoscopes of our surroundings—particularly, the Houses in which we reside—might be affecting our own? A little research into the Chinese zodiac signs of the years the Houses were established gives us a clue:

Adams:  This month, Adams residents will be feeling particularly creative, adaptable, and insightful. Although they are always ambitious and over-achieving, the month of October will find them particularly willing to showcase their fiery, passionate personalities. This House was established in the year of the Ram, and has always been known for its ability to create a fun, party atmosphere (not to mention its central location).

Currier: This is a lucky month for Currier, established in the loyal year of the dog. Everything for Currier residents is fated to be on the upswing, from work to school to relationships. For residents of other Houses, an adventure to the Quad may yield some new insights in projects for art, music, or writing.

Cabot: Although Quadlings may be suffering from Harvard’s new policy of Thursday community nights, the fates seem to be looking up for those who are located in this faraway House. October will be a month where its residents are pushed to do their best with strong results. Also consider dining in Cabot if you’re interested in meeting someone new—the stars have aligned for Cabot’s love and relationship traits this month!

Dunster: This month, Dunster residents will enjoy a closer-knit community, and less fragmentation than the month of September presented. Horoscope experts advise that it is not shameful for a Dunster resident to seek help when needed—do not be afraid to ask for aid from others on your path to success!

Eliot: The spirits of Eliot, born in the year of the dragon, have always been known to have good energy. Eliot residents this month should enjoy better health and better wealth, which the House is in desperate need of. Unfortunately, no luck for relationships—the stars have yet again not aligned in favor of you meeting someone new.

Kirkland: A quick observation of the stars reveal that this is gearing up to be a big month for Kirkland residents. There are many opportunities for your work in business, but the experts of the online world also warn that your relationships might be a little volatile, so rely on friends for help—maybe cut back on the housecest?

Leverett: October has a tendency to be turbulent for Leverett residents. Don’t expect for relationships to end, but do expect that it can be rough for a couple days if you live in this House. Between Physics Night and CS 50 office hours, the dhall always seems full of stressed souls.

Lowell: This month, according to Paul Ng, a feng shui and horoscope master based in Toronto, should bring luck, joy, romance, spirituality, and better business if your “business is related to blood.” That last one sounds a little suspicious to us.

Mather: September was a time of conflict for Mather (hello Dunster construction), so this month will be a significant improvement. Your sign bearers will have a generally positive month, and in leadership roles, Mather should shine above the rest (literally: Mather residents of the Tower will work above the rest of Harvard).

Pforzheimer: This House was built in the same Chinese zodiac year, but its residents will enjoy a particularly health-filled month that may allow them to excel in upcoming midterms, sports, or other extracurricular activities. After an ordinary September month, prepare for an amazing October!

Quincy: Yet another House build in the year of the pig, Quincy residents are generally respected for their ability to shine. If you’re a Quincy sophomore having trouble deciding what to concentrate in, have no fear, as your House’s horoscope is slated to be full of smart decision-making this month.

Winthrop: Sometimes, the spirits of Winthrop might have felt that the world was against them, but October is fated to be one of the best months for Winthrop residents in a long, long time (no more drainage backups?). You may find that you are able to speak your mind more easily this month, so tell the world about your love of Throp!
