To ensure wedding day good fortune for yourself or another, remember it's ill luck for the bridegroom to turn back once he has set out for the church or registry office. Anything left behind must be fetched by a friend.
Sun Sign: Libra/Venus

October 16 people can be remarkably intolerant of others, considering that they usually choose to express themselves in clichés. This is the person who boasts that he or she doesn't suffer fools gladly’. Everybody else nods and wonders what they mean, when frequently they are the fools. It's just that October 16 has a high an opinion of him and herself.
They are excellent at entertaining, but constantly chant that irritating refrain, ‘If you want something done well, then you have to do it yourself’. Then they whine with appalling self-pity ‘Why do I have to do everything myself?’ In fact self pity is the basis of many clichés. And self-regard. Neither of which is attractive. If you hear someone say ‘Why does it always have to be me?’, Tm the sort of person who likes to thank people properly’, ‘People are only out of work because they can’t be bothered to find work’, Tve got a long memory’, ‘I don’t forgive easily’, and ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed, and invariably wants to borrow something’, then it's likely to be October 16 muttering on. Turn a deaf ear.
Apart from this, and as long as it's not your mother-in-law or dreadful, moralising, self-centred brother, October 16 is OKish at heart. If they carry on like this, they really won’t get far in offices. Nor will they be the person everybody wants to invite to the party, certainly not to help decorate for it or clear up. ‘If you want something done properly… combines evily with other people’s hangovers.
If this person could only jettison his and her sense of righteous indignation and look outwards to the magnificent things other people are doing, they would stop it and automatically become so much more attractive to others, that they would find their life instantly enhanced. And the invitations flooding in.
You often feel as if you’re being pulled in opposing directions. Your romantic side yearns for companionship and love. But the more independent part of you dislikes being tied down and may shy away from making a permanent commitment. When you do get involved in a long-term union, you depend on your spouse or partner to give meaning to your life. Then if the relationship turns sour, you could become seriously distressed. Still, when you say “for better or worse,” you mean it, and you’re more likely to put up with a problem partner than are others of your Sun sign.
A lover who is overly aggressive turns you off. A slow and intricate courtship is more to your liking. For you, sex is an art, and you want it to be elegant and beautiful. You do not expect to be swept away by wild passion, but you do appreciate a bedmate skilled in the ways of making love. Pleasing your partner is a high priority for you, and you will do anything you can to gratify his or her desires.
When October 16 overdoes it, both sexes suffer from aches and pains. Warm herb baths can often help. Grated ginger soothes aching legs and joints. Lavender reduces anxiety, gives general pain relief and induces sleep. Sake lessens pain of sore knees and sports injuries. Add 720ml to water that is just above skin temperature. Parsley soothes anxiety, restlessness and irritability. Rosemary is for general pain relief. Rock salt relieves pain in joint and tendons, back and shoulder muscle aches. Garlic is also a general pain reliever. Steam 3-4 peeled cloves to remove smell, rinse, wrap in gauze, fasten and add to bath.
Dull or routine lovemaking turns you off, and you long for a creative lover who knows how to keep you guessing. Impulsive actions and spontaneous romantic gestures can add sparkle to your ordinary bedroom activities.
Whether you are watching or participating, a sultry and sensual striptease reenergizes your libido and gets your sexual juices flowing.

Your surface personality may be gentle and easygoing, but when you are challenged your inner toughness comes into play. Contrary to what others may think, you’re no pushover. You won’t do anything that you don’t want to do. Intelligent, clever, and charming, you can get around most anyone and get away with most anything if you put your mind to it.
