LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are ready for a change, but you could get a lot of flak from someone else involved in this decision.

This Week: You become the idea person once more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Look at what is hap- pening within a friendship or in an important situation. Your vision of what is possible emerges.

Open up to other points of view. Do not allow a friend to push you into a position that is not for you. This Week: Speak your mind, and others will listen.

Happy birthday

This year you have the combinatio­n of energy and enthusiasm, which makes the impossible possible. You might find that your creativity is high at times, yet at other times you can’t seem to come up with a solution. Do not stress out; instead, choose to go with the flow. If you are single, your magnetism and charisma do an amazing job of attracting all types of admirers. Do you know what type of person and/ or relationsh­ip you desire? If you are attached, the two of you often agree to disagree, mainly about a hobby or an issue that pervades your daily life. Don’t make it a big deal. ARIES is always fired up when he or she visits with you.
