Horoscopes

All work and no play can make for a dull day. Channel your inner entertainer and you may find yourself performing for an appreciative audience. Gather friends to pay a visit to a local hot spot for lunch or after-work meet-up.

Freely spread extra grains of salt when the facts are peppered with half-truths. Those you are thrown in contact with might not be totally accurate. Check the facts carefully, as it is possible to make an error of judgment.

The news might not be exactly what you wanted to hear. But you may have asked the wrong question at the wrong time. Push aside personal desires and doubts for a few days and things will change for the better.

Scattering your energy can be counterproductive. A brief period of hurry and flurry could deter you from important tasks. Use your imagination to promote your ideas in public places.

Try something new. Don’t be afraid to color outside the lines or to approach problems from a different angle. A new acquaintance may merely turn out to be a fair-weather friend but could alter your viewpoints.

Be on target by not going off on a tangent. Convey the appropriate message to a loved one or make plans to get certain jobs completed with speed and accuracy. Errors illuminate what needs extra attention.

Opposites attract, but they don’t always get along. You may find an attractive item that you simply must own. Then you get it home and find that it matches nothing else in your wardrobe. Some relationships are like this. Problems rooted in the past may rear their ugly heads. Deal with them immediately. You may need extra selfdiscipline to avoid arguments and keep your mind on work, but that’s the way to achieve success.

Don’t expect stability when you are undergoing changes. You might ride a roller coaster of highs and lows, with neither extreme lasting very long. Visit exotic locations or go out of your way to meet someone new.

Dedication is a desirable trait. Put your energy as well as brains to work in ways that will improve your reputation and earn you recognition for a job well done. Don’t waste time gossiping on the phone.

People count on your backing when faced with calamity or crisis. You might not be able to make headway with a personal financial situation, but your friends will certainly appreciate your stability and dependability.

Put the ringtone on mute. You may receive more than your fair share of robo-calls, special offers and sales contacts. Don’t let inconsequential interruptions disturb the work environment or upset your mood. Your imagination could be stuck in overdrive for the next five to six weeks, so you may let an attraction or a crush fool you into thinking it is the real thing. Your judgment is much better in October, when you can embrace new opportunities and can successfully enter into new commitments, such as a new romance, new job or change of address. You might receive a lucky break in the form of a job opportunity or helpful new friend. Your ability to attract wise advisors is at a high point in the fall, but in November any new business agreement or financial decision might entangle you in endless red tape or cause long-term hardships.
