WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2017

Equality should be your aim this year. Whether it’s regarding a relationship with a friend, relative or colleague, maintaining balance will help ward off bad feelings and resentment. Don’t fear change or wait for someone else to make the first move. Do whatever will make you feel happy and less stressed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Focus on getting things done. Take care of your responsibilities before someone complains. Do your best to make your surroundings more comfortable and convenient and your personal life less stressful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Express your feelings and make yourself clear regarding what you are willing to do to pitch in and help. Romance and self-improvement are highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Physical and emotional abuse are apparent. How you treat people or let them treat you will make a difference to the way you move forward in life. Assess your personal situation honestly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An emotional issue will develop if you let someone from your past re-enter your life. Don’t be fooled by sweet talk or persuasive offers. Focus on retaining your stability.
