Friday September 29

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
There are mixed blessings in the stars, so learn to take the good with the bad. On the money front you can expect some positive signs, but in affairs of the heart hostilities could taint a relationship.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Rather than being rigid in your approach or opinions, try to keep an open heart and mind. Someone who is clever or curious may influence the way you think and encourage you to change bad habits.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A proposal may seem promising, but on further scrutiny it might not be what you want. Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket and keep as many options as possible open to allow for your indecisiveness.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Instead of trading insults and insisting on the last word, withdraw gracefully from an argument. You will earn more respect by setting a good example than through trying to win the battle. Others may then follow your lead.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may be short on commonsense, yet brimming with creative ideas. Try to keep big pictures issues in focus, but ignore those detractors who deem you live in a dream world. Success stems from self-belief.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you have any doubts about how to handle yourself, seek counsel from someone who has been there before you. You may have to make an unpopular decision soon, but many will benefit in the long run.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Although you may be more cautious than usual, the decisions you make will prove to be both wise and favourable. Rather than bowing to outside pressure, ignore unsolicited advice and act in your own best interests.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Someone who is outspoken or exudes power may make a big impression. However, you must be careful not to fall completely under his or spell for fear you lose your own unique identity or hard fought freedom.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Yours is usually one of the most flexible signs, but you may surprise others by putting your foot down today. You could also be inclined to delegate duties and take the words of people in authority seriously.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You will be keen to avoid restriction or routine, but there are still unavoidable deadlines to meet. Moon in your privacy zone brings out the hermit in you and quiet time may hold the greatest appeal.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your attitude may be defensive, but that could simply be your fears rising to the surface. Once a person wins your trust, you will let your guard down and show the more gentle side of your personality.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A difficult decision may see you wavering between taking a plunge and the moral high ground. According to the planetary patterns you will eventually choose the option that is right for you at this time.

YOUR DAY
A spirited approach could ruffle feathers, but pulling punches will leave everyone wondering where they stand. Keep up with the pace or suffer the consequences of missing out on the rewards. Quite contrarily, the more risks people take today the less likely it is
they will make mistakes.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You have probably paid your penance and recently made a clean break. Others may now view you as reckless, but within a year could be just as easily congratulating you on a job well done. Strike out on your own with pride and gusto.
