ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your reaction to a child’s creativity encourage talent in a big way. Someone you admire you, too – publicly. Inner voices tell you to do silly things, but if it doesn’t hurt anyone, why not follow them and see where things lead?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Family life is the focus. Partners find you irresistible, and you can ask for anything you want. Do a new kind of exercise or self-improvement – friends have excellent ideas. You can get out of a rut by hanging out with someone new.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could be paid to speak in public, write or perform. Avoid spending money just because you’ve got it. You don’t have to cave in to family demands; you are the one in charge of your time.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Stamina and energy are high. Consider yourself a winner when you break even on an expensive undertaking. Common sense dictates against your heart, but this is what makes romance such an adventure.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re thinking big and more ahead of your time than you know. Improved relationships show your sound judgment. You’re expecting less of others, and they are therefore eager to give more. Joy comes from just keeping it simple.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 16). This will be a year of exciting accomplishment for you. At work this month, you gain the upper hand, not to mention better compensation by the end of October. Setting a personal agenda is important in November, when your creams get special luck. Ideal signs for love are Taurus and Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 26, 51 and 4.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your talent for figuring out a new way of making money is about to kick into gear – and just in time! If you expect someone to deliver, you’d better make him or her promise. What’s said casually is forgotten.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Job matters, bargain hunting and being brilliantly creative will occupy you. Decisions are easier now – make a few. Intriguing possibilities surround you, and you’re discerning about which will pan out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Examine any old baggage you might be carrying. Others have a different philosophy, but there is room for that, too. Don’t delegate everything – there are some tasks that only you can do.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Issues must be addressed so you can let go and get on with the fabulous life ahead of you. Stalled projects could gain momentum if you give them the proper attention. Singles meet love while exploring creative outlets.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have amazing scope of vision now and can show the path to friends or co-workers who need your help. Blessings come disguised – a dramatic situation leads to romance. It is in your best interest to forgive and forget.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Run – don’t walk – back to that loving relationship you once took for granted. Teamwork is essential, and there’s no point to taking it on all by yourself. The talent of others helps encourage your creativity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This afternoon requires you to change your mind – friends may protest, but it saves everyone money in the end. Marriage partners deserve more attention, so take some extra care this evening.
ASTROLOGICAL STYLEWATCH (PART THREE OF FIVE): Looking for a new fashion groove? No matter what sign you are, you feel you know what looks good on you, and you certainly know what you feel good wearing. To add a little verve to your look, here are some sign-specific tips to guide you in the right decision. LEO: Still on the warpath for the perfect hairstyle? It’s worth it for you to pay a little more to get something truly original. New hats will help your self-esteem during those days when your hair just doesn’t match your attitude! There are lots of fresh styles to choose from this year. VIRGO: A standing beauty appointment may seem like an extravagance to you, but this is one month when it’s really worth it. The lift you get after a manicure, pedicure, facial or massage is indescribable. When you feel this terrific, everything looks fabulous on you. LIBRA: You don’t always wear jewelry, but what you do wear has personal meaning to you. If there’s a piece you’ve been wanting, now is the time to put it on layaway and start working toward having it. Something about wearing fine stones or gold makes you feel like a million, and therefore, you look like it, too.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: The incomparable crooning style of Elvis Costello shows all the skill and musicality of a typical Virgo musician. His range is enviable, even to opera singers! Costello is another example of Virgo’s ability to break the constraints of one of the most youth-oriented businesses in the world, rock and roll. To Virgos, it’s never about the fashion of the day but about continuously striving to top your last performance.
