Your expression of outgoing friendliness in the week ahead might invite criticism. Taurus(April20-May20): Put your shoulder to the plow. You can make progress with anything that requires physical exertion or a sustained effort in the week ahead. Put romantic fantasies on the back burner. Gemini(May21-June20): Someone could be serious when you are being frivolous. You risk causing offense unless you take each and every regulation and rule to heart. Don’t send out resumes or apply for a promotion in the week ahead. Cancer(June21-July22): You may wrestle with words and meanings. A tendency to put your foot in your mouth or to misinterpret what someone else says can cause misunderstandings. Avoid disputes by being super sincere. Leo(July23-Aug.22): You might be in the mood for love, but love might not be in the mood for you. It is possible you are preoccupied by romantic fantasies or get-rich schemes. This is not a good week to put your farfetched ideas into action. Virgo(Aug.23-Sept.22): A passion for perfection is only matched by an obsession with accomplishment. Due to your single-mindedness, you may underestimate the impact of misunderstandings this week. Treat loved ones with care. Libra(Sept.23-Oct.22): In the week to come, you may be challenged by relationship dynamics in the workplace. If friends trust you, then an apology won’t be necessary if you accidently cross the line, but it would be prudent to make amends. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid the crossfire. Steer clear of disagreements in the week ahead. You can only promise to complete what is feasible. You are cognizant of your limits even if tempted to show off a bit too much in public. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hold off on making major decisions in the week ahead. Family matters could put your teeth on edge, but if you are understanding, patient and do your duty, everything will turn out just fine in the end. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mind your p’s and q’s as well as any other alphabet letters that come to mind. Bite your tongue rather than offering criticism or disapproval this week. Aquarius(Jan.20-Feb.18): Someone may try to rush you into making a decision or a purchase, but it is in your best interests to wait. Keep your money safe and avoid making major financial commitments in the week to come. Pisces(Feb.19-March20): You may be lulled into a state of complacency as this week unfolds. You may have high ideals but could inadvertently clash with others. Guard your reputation. if October 29 is your birthday: An old adage says “don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” but during the upcoming three to four weeks, you can get all your eggs to market safely because you possess excellent judgment. You will have the wisdom and enthusiasm to make a success of anything you launch and will also have the incredible luck to be at the right place at the right time. Since your friendliness is at a high point, you will be popular on social media websites during early December. Watch out for gullibility and self-deception from mid-December through mid-January. A passing fling might be regretted as soon as the lights are back on. January and April are particularly poor months to make financial decisions or investments. Wait until early May, when you can easily upgrade your career and exercise shrewd financial maneuvering.
