ARIES (March 21-April 19). Cancel meetings or interviews for which you are not prepared. You get one chance to make the big impression! Family members question your priorities but would do better to examine their own.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tension between you and a friend involves a debt. Avoid discussing minor details, and just handle the bottom line. You are persuasive with the social powers that be. Keeping in touch with people from the past proves worthwhile.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being more selective enhances your love life. An Aquarius is good for you. To attract people with a vision like yours, be honest about what you want. You gain support from a family member who previously opposed you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Extra time devoted to your career keeps it rolling. Financially, you’re lucky. A successful relationship with a child requires more thought and leadership. Express your feelings, but remember you are responsible for your condition.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People want to pay your way! In matters of the heart, no guts, no glory. A secret fear has no basis in reality. Cancellations give you sudden free time. Watch your wallet – spending impulsively brings sorrow later in the week.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 01). A big year for love is in store for you! A new prospect wants to court you through the holidays. Casual relationships don’t stay casual for long. Someone you hire will make a huge difference in your life this year. Research everything carefully, and put your energy into one choice by January. It pays in a matter of a few months. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 12, 11, 40 and 5.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dress up. Show the world you attract quality. Keep reminding yourself that you have the power to program your thoughts. Positive affirmations can transform you into the picture of confidence.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). You do well on the social front, remembering names, making graceful introductions and carrying on interesting conversations. Romance is surprisingly uncomplicated now, just the way you like it! Love with a Leo is bliss.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s in your power to offer a pardon to someone who wants a clean slate. Moral judgments are only yours to make when they concern your own choices. Intimate feelings are brought out in the open tonight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s the people around you that make the difference between a situation you want to stay in and one you’d rather leave. Watch for career opportunities connected with tasks that go undone when no one takes the lead.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). See things through a completion, even if it means staying late. Leaving something to be finished tomorrow results in unforeseen delays. The "opposites attract" theory is proven wrong.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Small gestures of kindness earn huge points with loved ones. This is the perfect day to break free of any oppressive relationship you’re in. Give your imagination a playground; see museums, write letters, and exercise.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You make others feel powerful, so try not to take it personally when someone dear wants to make a decision alone. Your career potential is enhanced by extra study. Children make you proud – little things mean a lot.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: I’m under the impression that a Pisces and I, a Sagittarian, are meant to be together. I met him in a dream the night before we first met in person. We dated for three months, and he acted serious about us being a couple. Then, he suddenly acted in such a way that would make me break up with him. I still see him from time to time. He always wants to talk, stand close and find out whom I am seeing. He says he wants me to write to him, but he doesn’t often answer back. He is confusing me! Can you help me to understand him? I am working on forgetting him but am afraid that I might be making a mistake. Should I be patient or give up?"
Pisces men have practically supernatural powers when it comes to getting under a woman’s skin. I can see why this man’s extra abilities (that sometimes he doesn’t even understand) could have persuaded you to think he is the one. However, I believe the way to make your life good is to love someone who respects you enough to treat you the way you’d like to be treated. Until he does this, it’s pointless to spend any energy on him.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Paul Simon could give Randy Newman a run for his money this year as he gets offered the movie score of an important feature film. Libran artists can be a bit snobbish when it comes to accepting work and sometimes feel above the tastes of pop culture. This may be why Simon has gone to extreme lengths to do something worldly and different in his music than normal pop standards dictate.
