Aries ( March 21- April 19): You can’t lose an argument that doesn’t occur. Some diplomacy and tact are needed when a delicate situation rears its head. Don’t let hidden tensions or stress get the best of you.
Taurus ( April 20- May 20): Bulls seem aggressive because they are territorial. This isn’t a good time to challenge someone else or to enter the bullring. Steer clear of controversial issues and deceptive people.
Gemini ( May 21- June 20): Don’t look back. Instead of a pillar of salt you might turn into jelly. You may stand by helplessly as someone undermines your ideas. Focus on a rosy future rather than past mistakes.
Cancer ( June 21- July 22): A mountain is known by its peak, but the peak is the smallest part of the mountain. You may not reach financial or career goals immediately, but can anticipate the climb ahead.
Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22): You don’t want to see your monogram on a dunce’s cap. If you make significant investments or sign a contract you may find truth in the saying, “A fool and his money are soon parted.”
Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): The truth is shielded from view. You may find that others hide their true thoughts and emotions behind a mask. You can only use guesswork to figure out where a relationship is heading.
Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22): You might be looking for love in all the wrong places. Intuitions could be off track or provide misleading information. Don’t pay attention to them. Stay home and do laundry.
Scorpio ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Run a tight ship and tighten the purse strings. You might be briefly alarmed by the realization that money has been spent and scattered haphazardly like leaves on a windy autumn day.
Sagittarius ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21): You can develop a callous when rubbed the wrong way too often. Once the scab is torn away you may find something disagreeable that you have tolerated for far too long.
Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): They say that two heads are better than one. If you ask for advice from four or five people it is even easier to be at your best. Take an opinion poll before making a decision.
Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Financial schemes and dreams need some polish and care. Don’t throw good ideas into the trashcan. This may be a good time to look at your ambitions with a critical eye.
Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20): Easy does it. Playing a game of cat and mouse to win someone’s trust probably isn’t worth the effort. You won’t need to play hard to get if there is a genuine attraction.
If October 17 is your birthday: You’re a beautiful dreamer and willing to gamble on anything and everything during the next six weeks. Your positive attitude will attract helpful people and a higher than usual share of good luck, but you may be somewhat gullible if romance is on the table. Next spring is when your popularity reaches a high point and when promises given will be honored. If you have been thinking about changing careers, applying for a new job or making an important romantic commitment April is the month in which you can make a delightful, and successful, change.
