ARIES (March 21-April 19): Forgive and forget to free up your time for fun. Bury the hatchet and get out the ratchet; use your weekend to tinker around with your favorite hobby. Widen your horizons through study or sports.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): All you need is love. Today you will find time to spend with that certain special someone and make beautiful music together. Adopting a spirit of give and take will put you at the front of the class.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Even the grouchiest of the seven dwarfs could be an optimist today. Take advantage of the fact that people are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. This is a good time to ask for forgiveness.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): More than one of your prayers will be answered. Without letting go of grudges and forgetting unpleasantness, forgiving is almost impossible. Shove your fondness for flawlessness to the background.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may receive opportunities for second chances over the weekend. Although you are anxious to succeed in the outside world, you may be reminded that you can plan for the future with the help of loved ones.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Rub that lamp until it shines. The genie is standing by to grant your wishes. There is no reason to feel limited to just one simple request. Go ahead; make as many wishes as there are stars in the sky.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rather than banging your head against the wall, try knocking on a door. People are more likely to help you out if you go through proper channels. Get key relationships back on track by offering sincere apologies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might find new ways of feathering your own nest. A jiggle in your walk and giggle in your talk is all you need to attract someone’s attention. Lighthearted banter might turn on someone’s passions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The keys to success have merely slipped into the crack in the couch cushions. A little cleaning and straightening up of your surroundings might reveal hidden strengths or offer time for insights.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One person’s ceiling is another’s floor. You are prone to being overly ambitious and might be stymied by a glass ceiling. This is a good time to contact higher-ups and ask for a few favors.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be positive about achieving your purpose. Don’t let the fear of rejection stop you from pursuing dreams. Even if someone has said no, someone else will say yes, at the most advantageous time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Apologies and compromises pave the road to success. Join with a special someone for sports, travel or games of chance. Call on a friend “in deed” to help you out when an extra pair of hands is needed.
IF OCTOBER 6 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The next four to six weeks is a superb time to cash in on new opportunities, ask for favors or to make and launch important plans. Your judgment is at its best and if you need assistance, the universe will send you exactly what you need. In January you might get caught up in a passing fling. April offers a period of good judgment and reflection when you will see who really has your best interests at heart. The “real thing” might arrive in May or June, so if you have your eye on a permanent personal commitment just wait until then to change jobs or to pop the question.
