Sunday, Oct. 4, 2015 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You can’t ignore the tension around you, but you might not be sure as to the best way to eliminate it, either. Tonight: Ignore all the chatter.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might want to straighten out a misunderstanding before it becomes much more. Share some of your thoughts about a particular friendship and the people involved. Tonight: Stay in the here and now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Make sure your checking account is balanced before you leap into action. Spending money goes through your fingers so easily and a bit too naturally. Tonight: Make it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You feel in tune with others, even if they are having a disagreement. Your empathetic qualities work like a sponge, seemingly absorbing others’ feelings. Tonight: Avoid a power play.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Try to play it low-key today. That is not to say that you will be lonely or that everyone will ignore you; you simply will be happier not committing to anything and just doing your thing. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have plans, but keeping them could be difficult, as an unexpected group of friends seems to seek you out. Don’t underestimate how much you inspire others. Tonight: Forgive and forget.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Take a stand and understand that others might not agree. In fact, they probably won’t. You tend to trigger a lot of gossip. Stay involved in the discussion. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep stretching past self-imposed limits, even though you might need a friend to help you with this process. Sometimes we can’t see our mental filter, but others can. Tonight: Be imaginative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Make this a special day with the one you love. You can be spontaneous and just take off. Cancel plans, if need be. Tonight: All smiles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be so determined to make a point that you forget who you are with and that you do not need to push so hard. A loved one won’t need convincing of the wisdom of your ways. Tonight: Live it up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Push as hard as you need to. You have a lot to get through, and quite quickly at that. Once you clear up a problem, you will feel free. Tonight: Don’t allow stress to build.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Take your cues from a loved one. Get away from the daily grind, and don’t think about work. Tap into your imagination and make plans. Tonight: Love the one you’re with.
