ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let a phantasm of negativity spoil your most treasured image of the future. Keep your eyes fixed on the destination and don’t be distracted by petty annoyances. Save a few dollars for a rainy day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Develop ingenious methods to banish a creative block. It might be that you are stumped because you don’t have a viable outline. Get out the pencil and prioritize your needs, hopes and activities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Whistle while you work. Exercise your mind or your body for the best results. You might find an opportune time to rid your home or office those things that have accumulated but aren’t necessary.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): It may be difficult to strike the perfect balance in social settings. You could be overly anxious to please others and waver about decisions, or too aggressive when you should politely wait your turn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get organized. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. You are at your best if given the time to think things through without interruptions or input. Intense insights can help you solve problems.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Know your limits. You can’t push forward when held back by relentless pressure from outside forces. Take your lessons to heart by paying attention to those areas that cause disapproval or admonitions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Wrestle with your reservations. Tiresome relationships might be given the boot. Good relationships aren’t like- ly to experience any permanent disturbances if they are worth having in the first place.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy and wise. Don’t waste energy on regrets or plot revenge. A good night’s sleep is the best antidote to banish insecurities and aggravations.
SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec.21): Caution doesn’t cost anything, even when money changes everything. Being brave and fearless is wonderful, but it isn’t going to gain you applause today. Listen to your intuition and wait.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Patience is sometimes your best friend, but it won’t lick you in the face. There could be a stalemate taking place. Don’t allow resentment to poison your day, as things will improve soon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get all your ducks lined up in a neat little row. Wait a few days to get up to speed before making your move. Late night meetings could be counterproductive, or even confuse you, so get to bed early.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Breaking up might be “hard to do,” but could be necessary. Old habits and patterns can be easily shed under these planetary conditions. Partnerships that are rigid, however, can crack under the strain.
IF OCTOBER 24 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Between now and January, you could find that ambitions are spurred on and you may be offered many chances to upgrade your future through hard work. You may even assume extra obligations in an effort to enrich your life, perhaps taking night classes or shouldering extra duties at your job without compensation. In late December and throughout January, you may feel buoyant and full of confidence and your popularity and personal charisma will grow by leaps and bounds. That is when you have the best possible assistance from the stars to land the job of your dreams, find the special someone you have always wanted to meet or to make any important commitment.
