preach. It may be a good time to concentrate on the steps needed to obtain long term goals. Intriguing questions might be answered by your own instincts and intuition.
If October 3 is your birthday:
For the next five to six weeks your judgment is at a high point. You may receive the answer to your prayers. Because you are viewed as tolerant and fair other people are likely to return the sentiment, making this a good time to ask for favors or to make important decisions. In December you must remember the old adage “all that glimmers isn’t gold.” You could be more romantic than usual and a mini-vacation or weekend getaway could satisfy your romantic yearnings. In January and February you can implement improvements to your health or enjoy a flair for creative activities.
