Horoscope

LIBRA

(Sept. 24Oct. 23) Some people will be difficult to deal with over the next few days, of that there is no doubt, but it is how you choose to react that matters most. You cannot change the way they are but you can decide not to let them get under your skin. SCORPIO

(Oct. 24Nov. 22) Certain people will go out of their way to talk you down and make you feel small but the planets suggest that your position has not changed that much, if at all, so don't overreact. You are as popular as you ever were with the people who count. SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 23 Dec. 21) You will be remarkably adventurous this coming week and will take any risk if you think the rewards will be worth it. Creatively and romantically anything is possible for you now, so identify what it is you most desire, then go out and get it. CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 Jan. 20) Settle for what is on offer during the early part of the week, even if it does not come up to your expectations. The planets warn that if you hold out for more you might actually get less, so be sensible and take what is on the table. AQUARIUS

(Jan. 21 Feb. 19) Travel opportunities and social invitations will come thick and fast over the next few days and you will have a lot of fun while on the move with friends. You can always squeeze a bit more enjoyment out of life if you try. PISCES

(Feb. 20Mar. 20) You may be tempted to splash out on something you desire but cannot really afford and, of course, you will regret it if you do. Yes, okay, so it's only money but there are more sensible things you can and should be spending it on. ARIES (March 21April 20) The lunar eclipse in your sign will make you hugely assertive as the week begins, but try not to be openly aggressive. If you go over the top others will respond in kind and before you know it you will have a war on your hands. TAURUS (April 21May 21) Cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart will disrupt your emotional balance and make you believe that certain people are picking on you. Maybe they are but don't get uptight about it. What can they do to actually harm you? GEMINI (May 22June 21) Disagreements with people you usually get along with quite well are likely over the next two or three days but don't be alarmed as it is really no big deal. However, if you do say something hurtful it might be wise to unsay it again as quickly as possible. CANCER

(June 22July 23) Employers and other authority figures are not in the mood to play games, so keep your head down and try not to draw too much attention to yourself. You may be a law unto yourself at times but this week you would be wise not to make waves. LEO

(July 24Aug. 23) You may be tempted to push your luck and do something you know is morally questionable, and you may even get away with it, but your conscience will prick at you. All actions have consequences, so do only what you know to be right. VIRGO

(Aug. 24Sept. 23) Try not to be too aggressive over the next couple of days. Not only is Mars now moving through your sign but Monday's lunar eclipse could give an emotional edge to your anger not a pretty combination! Whatever it is, it's not worth the hassle.
