Horoscopes
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You'll get further with sugar than salt. You may have an easier time getting your way if you explain your position instead of simply giving orders.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Take it with a grain of salt. Someone's idle boasting may get under your skin but when push comes to shove they might just be blowing hot air.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There's no such thing as a sure thing. Don't invest too much time or effort into "can't miss" opportunities as the only gains you make will be to your debt.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Add a little spit and polish. Put excess energy to good use by putting things in order or making some improvements around the house.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Home is where the heart is. Brighten your outlook by spending some quality time with friends and loved ones today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Adapt to change. Conditions may have shifted such that methods that have worked for you in the past may not be as effective now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take off the rose-colored glasses. The lucrative benefits that an endeavor may yield could blind you to the potential pitfalls that are just as likely.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't believe everything you hear. A friend's advice may be well-intended but may also be based upon incorrect information and assumptions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): No genie will grant your wishes. The only way that you're going to get what you want is if you roll up your sleeves and work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave well enough alone. Your desire for perfection may cause you to keep tinkering with something until you ultimately make it worse rather than better.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep spending within the budget. Remember that nickels and dimes can add up over time so be sure to keep a careful eye on the books.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Stay grounded in reality. Others may try to put their own spin on a story but you can figure out the actual truth if you look at it logically.
IF OCTOBER 7 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may run into a brick wall if you attempt to start a new business venture or launch a financial plan during the next five to six weeks.
