LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The best way to win a power play or battle of wills is not to play. Bypass the situation, not by ignoring it, but by not getting involved. Expect the other party to be upset, as he or she counts on you to respond to his or her innuendos. The unexpected marks your day. Tonight: Be a duo.

Your internal conversations might be calling for a change in how you handle your assets. You have to decide whether you are willing to deal with this issue. Just how quickly you can get a hold of yourself will be determined by your flexibility. Tonight: Mull over a decision.
