Thursday, October 26

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
An inflated sense of self could see you accepting too many offers or making unrealistic promises. Tone down the enthusiasm and take a reality check with regards to your time, finances and physical capabilities.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A desire to spread your wings and make the most of your talent suggests a move could be on the cards. However because you hate upheaval, the most likely scenario is a minor rather than major change.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Approach situations with integrity and try to avoid dealing with people who are morally bankrupt. You may be easily led astray today and greater discernment is needed in relationships. Perhaps you should refine your techniques.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than putting people up on pedestals, acknowledge their frailties and accept imperfection. Your mood is both sympathetic and forgiving this week, but some of your actions could be self-serving and your thoughts subjective.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A tendency to dig your heels in could win you more friends than enemies. Fortunately, you love keeping others happy and will probably concede through gritted teeth rather than risk causing conflict in a close relationship.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
With the accent on messages, information and face-to-face interaction, your calendar is likely to be full. Routine tasks or family duties may suffer, but you can play catch up later in the week.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Doubt may be cast over a situation and until the issue is resolved you may feel anxious. This is when you must put your trust in others and the universe, believing that everything will work out.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Take time to think about a proposition, regardless of what instinct tells you. There may be a sizeable investment needed and it is vital this month that you enter into agreements with your eyes wide open.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
There may be a sense of underachievement that gnaws at you. But with the ball in your court, you can either wallow in pity or strive to do better. Knowing your buoyancy, you will choose the latter.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Recent eye-opening events have either broadened your outlook or made you more aware of another person's feelings. In the short-term you can put the lessons learned to use, but with time good intentions may fade.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
There may be something about yourself that you would love to change, but finding the motivation or means will be the biggest stumbling block. Seek advice and inspiration from a suitable friend or consult an expert.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You have the passion and energy at your disposal, but finding a suitable outlet for it could prove difficult. Think about what brings pleasure and reward before searching for a situation that could deliver both.

YOUR DAY
Moon in the generous-spirited sign of Sagittarius helps loosen inhibitions and prevents bias. A strong sense of justice and fair play prevails today, but there is also a danger people will be too lenient in their views. The perfect balance would be evenhandedness coupled with pragmatism.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Recent smokescreens you put up may have fooled some people, but others have seen straight through. The current trend is towards honesty at all costs and once you take control, you will feel a sense of both relief and greater closeness to others.
