Friday, October 6

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
It may suddenly appear anything is possible, but beware of false illusions. Your annual full Moon is looming and it will be easy to get carried away with an idea that could ultimately come to nothing.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you are looking to regain the upper hand in a situation, concrete progress can be made in the next three days. There is a sense that aims and objectives set several months will come to fruition.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A sense of urgency may see you rushing rather than paying close attention to detail. However while minor mistakes may be made, the planets provide a safety net and prevent lasting damage from being done.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone close to you may have a conflicting opinion, but a truce will probably be reached in the days ahead. You and an adversary are likely to find common ground or gain sudden insights into each other.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A breakthrough could come without fanfare, but will bring much-needed relief after months of hardship or commitment. There may be a sense that you have paid your penance and should be allowed to move on.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Rather than paying lip service to others, make sure your promises stand up to scrutiny. Intensity builds in upcoming days and there will be no room for half-hearted commitment or self-deceit. Check all relevant details.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
With lunar energy building to a climax, there may be an easing of hostilities or greater equality in a partnership. You will benefit emotionally from embracing new people and remaining open to a diverse range of options.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Somebody may give you a dose of your own medicine, prompting you to change your approach. In all likelihood, you will lean towards treating people in the same manner you expect to be treated by them.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
At this stage you may find the prospect of change refreshing. However, the key to a successful transition is to take things slowly rather than rushing in without forethought. Formulate plans, but contemplate them a while longer.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your ruthless streak could surface, prompting you to step over others in order to reach the top. Just be warned that a competitive spirit exists and opponents are likely to put up a fight rather than concede defeat.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are blessed with smooth communications skills, as well as a strong sense of justice and fair play. Use these gifts wisely by performing random acts of kindness, helping the less fortunate and giving unconditional love.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A tendency toward impulsiveness could lead to financial regret or cause an emotional backlash. Think before you spend or act at whim, especially if there is little or no promise of tangible reward for your efforts.

YOUR DAY
Moon moving into Aries heats up debate and brings festering situations to a head. Events are likely to be viewed as black and white, and it will be difficult to compromise with quarrelsome people. The good news is that straight talking will at the very least clear the air.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The focus now falls on home and family. And whether you change your domestic set-up or take on added responsibility, you will happily invest time and money with a view to lifestyle improvement. Also, an estranged friend or relative may return to the fold.
