Don't rush to judgment. It may be better to hold off on drawing any conclusion­s as you may not yet have all the facts at your disposal. Remain calm in the face of adversity as things will quickly improve in the week ahead.

Maintain a united front. Petty squabbles with those who are on your side may leave you as a solo act if you're not careful. Don't assume that your concerns are more important than anyone else's this week.

Just because they offer you Kool-Aid doesn't mean you have to drink it. Keep in mind that those who are overly optimistic may make foolish or reckless decisions. Let common sense be your guide in the week ahead.

Let them accept you as you are in the upcoming week. Someone who makes you bend over backwards to please is taking advantage so draw the line. Your generosity should be your choice, not someone else's.

Maintain a modicum of moderation. Getting too passionate or excited over a new interest may cause you to go overboard so try to keep your wits about you. You may be attracted to gaudy or tasteless items this week.

Look before you leap. Stay anchored in reality when discussing future plans as you may agree to do something that is not possible. Use logic and common sense this week to avoid wandering into uncharted waters.

Grin and bear it. Giving into your adventurou­s side may result in a neglect of responsibi­lities. Stick to your routines this week. Making waves when dealing with the status quo could leave you struggling to stay afloat. Take the high road. You may find that a short-cut takes you the exact same place as doing it the hard way. Don't be afraid to question establishe­d norms in the week ahead as there may indeed be an easier way.

Bring your A game. Don't be so overconfid­ent this week that you neglect to make necessary preparatio­ns for your latest endeavor. Assuming that you know what someone is thinking is asking for trouble.

Let them down easy. Employ a little tact when trying to show a loved one the error of their ways. Being too blunt could hurt feelings this week. Show them that you're on their side by being helpful and kind.

It may not be worth the risk. Successful­ly taking a chance may yield vast rewards but there's no certainty that you won't fail. Play it safe this week and indulge in the many joys of life that cost you nothing.

Don't be a rebel without a cause. Being argumentat­ive or defiant simply for the sake of stirring things up will get you nowhere. Focus extra energy on being creative rather than trying to tear things down this week. During the upcoming three to four weeks you may be riding on a cloud of dreams and inspiratio­n, but at the same time your practical side will be able to make astute business decisions. Group dynamics may influence your choices in October, when you may become involved with a wider range of social activities. In December you might prefer to waste your time on romantic fantasies, but duties will call, and it will be better to avoid romantic entangleme­nts. January, when your shrewdness and negotiatio­n skills are at their best, is the best time to make key purchases and financial decisions. You can afford to slack off in February and could take a vacation or rest on your laurels.
