Tuesday, October 31

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Make sure you have all the relevant facts before proceeding further with a proposal. With a shorter than normal attention span, you could be inclined to overlook details and fall short of your true potential.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you wish to resolve an ongoing issue, re-double your efforts. The answers are out there, but you need to dig a little deeper and perhaps seek help from someone sharp. Mars is pushing you to succeed.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may feel as if you are taking one step forward and two back, but will persist despite the uphill battle. Normally distractions sway you from a chosen path, but this week you are more determined.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A lack of flexibility could work against you. Forego your usual comforts and safety zones and act on impulse or experiment. Your intuition is keen enough to prevent you from making damaging moves or silly mistakes.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A desire to raise your profile sees you initiating events. And while you may come on stronger than usual, people will be won over by your charm and competence. The gloomy times are almost over.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Beneath your cool exterior lies a provocative nature. You will have a penchant for stirring up trouble in subtle ways and arguing your case with clever dialogue. Others may surrender rather than trying to outwit you.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Struggles are part of life and help build character. Knuckle down to tasks this week and remember that if you accept responsibility you can ultimately claim successes as your own. The window of opportunity is open.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Make your presence felt and ponder what you can do to help others. There are powerful forces at work and once you seize the initiative, stunning results can be achieved with a flow-on effect to loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Regrets about your treatment of someone could surface and need to be addressed. Whether you have been too soft or overly harsh with a particular person, you can remedy events by being more realistic and self-serving.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
After a period of scattering energies, it may be time to harness your power. Mars is perfectly placed to help you concentrate and put your organising skills to good use. Praise and results will soon trickle in.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You may feel a need to assert yourself, especially when there are varying opinions expressed. A lover of the last word, you will persistently make your point and more than likely wear others down.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The planetary trend is towards personal growth and public recognition. Learning from your mistakes has become second nature and influential people are beginning to sit up and take notice of you. Exploit opportunities and utilise your skills.

YOUR DAY
Forgiveness may be hard to find today. Moon in Aquarius is friendly, but love comes with conditions and logic overrides emotion. Platonic relationships could prove more satisfactory than romantic ones, particularly if both parties share common interests and an intellectual rapport. This is a good time for problem solving.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Mars motivates you to begin your new birthday as you mean to continue. Be specific about what you want to achieve and believe that hard work is your ticket to success. Also, by keeping things simple but methodical, you will feel calm and in control.
