LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you had any resistance to authority, you’ll drop it now. You need a leader more than you need to be the leader. Anyway, a power struggle would only waste time, when there’s so much learning to do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Not knowing what to say to that person who is hurting, many will keep their distance. That’s why you’ll sidle up. Acknowledge the pain in the voice of compassion. You don’t have to solve it, just acknowledge, “That must hurt.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is no time to doubt, worry or over-think. This is a time to keep on trying, doing, going. The direction is simple and clear: forward, forward, ever forward.
