Oct. 2-8

   ARIES (March 21-April 20) Ethics in the workplace, unexpected demands from corporate leaders and long-term job security are now a strong concern. Early this week, watch for close colleagues to avoid new assignments or politically risky duties. Remain patient, however, and expect an attitude of acceptance and group participation to soon emerge. After Wednesday, many Aries natives begin a brief but intense phase of private romantic evaluation. Recent social disputes may be a key theme: stay focused.

   TAURUS (April 21-May 20) Ongoing financial restrictions will now slowly fade: after Tuesday, expect large purchases or the steady expansion of business partnerships to provide lucrative alternatives. For many Taureans, this is the right time to begin new business ventures or request special favors. Later this week, discuss home improvements, revised plans or key family decisions with loved ones. A healthy examination of long-term aspirations is warranted: close relatives will soon offer viable options.

   GEMINI (May 21-June 21) New romantic or social obligations will this week require careful discussion. Someone close may wish to dramatically change their lifestyle or daily habits. Emotional independence, ongoing power struggles and recent family disruptions may be a strong influence. Encourage caution but expect passions to be high: debate will now trigger complex home decisions. Later this week, new work duties may arrive without warning. Ask probing questions: legal documents may be misleading.

   CANCER (June 22-July 22) After several days of workplace misinformation, close colleagues are now willing to disclose valuable tactics and beneficial leads. Early this week, respond quickly to concrete proposals and renewed paperwork. Probe for detailed answers and rare opportunities: positive employment alliances will be a continuing theme over the next few weeks. Friday through Sunday accents passionate flirtations and fast social invitations. Remain flexible: a gracious response is needed.

   LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Romantic expansion, quick employment changes and revised partnerships are highlighted early this week. Tuesday through Friday, expect new social alliances and business plans to require a bold response. Ask loved ones and older authority figures for special favors, financial advice or concrete promises: confident requests will soon be rewarded. Later this week, a long-term friend may explore a complex social triangle. Stay detached: intense emotions will soon prove draining.

   VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Past memories are this week emotionally vivid and revealing. Over the next two days, many Virgos will experience dramatic moments of insight or romantic wisdom. Areas of concern include delayed relationships, broken promises or mistrust between friends. Wait for obvious signals: new opportunities will soon be presented. After mid-week, a postponed business project may reappear. If so, remain dedicated to group success and expect quick job reversals in the coming weeks.

   LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Before mid-week, expect cancelled projects, revised schedules or newly assigned duties to offer surprising opportunities for advancement. Remain silent, however, and allow others to take the lead: prideful moments and public displays of confidence will not be easily forgotten. After Thursday, a long-term relationship may require serious discussion. Revised home rules, shared family celebrations and sincere commitments are accented: stay open to creative proposals.

   SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) For many Scorpios, freedom versus restriction now becomes an underlying issue in long-term relationships. Early this week, expect a trusted friend or lover to reveal unusual ideals, needs or opinions. Avoid strong reactions, if possible, and wait for meaningful progress: minor tensions will soon lead to healthy discussion and workable agreements. After Wednesday, bosses or managers may demand added job dedication: expect new group instructions and last minute assignments.

   SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Home decisions are best avoided over the next few days. At present, loved ones may need extra private time to adjust to changing workplace demands, family obligations or long-term financial commitments. Offer practical support and timely advice: minor social events and daily expectations can now be easily delayed. After Friday, respond honestly to the business aspirations of a close friend: private projects and creative partnerships will soon work strongly in your favor.

   CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) A long-term friend may this week require delicate advice. Family approval, rare home proposals and quickly changing marital status may be on the agenda. Encourage public confidence and honest disclosure: close relatives will not easily accept private decisions, poorly timed announcements or lingering secrecy. Later this week, an unexpected romantic invitation may trigger controversy. Avoid all workplace flirtations and triangles, if possible: tensions are high.

   AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) Gossip and romantic speculation may be unusually distracting over the next few days. Enjoy private moments with trusted friends but, if possible, avoid group discussion. Someone close may now wish to reveal personal information concerning a mutual friend or new lover. The social consequences are unpredictable: remain quietly dedicated to established ethics. Late Friday, a loved one may demand a bold display of public affection. Go slow and trust your first instincts.

   PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Family members may this week be briefly moody or distant. Refuse to be derailed by social doubt or negative attitudes: loved ones may now need extra time to evaluate recent financial changes or career improvements. After mid-week, a powerful wave of insight and sensitivity is due to arrive. Watch for friends and lovers to quickly resolve inner conflicts, suggest unique group invitations or propose highly creative social activities. Don't hesitate to join in: your approval will be appreciated.

   If your birthday is this week: Newly proposed love affairs are best avoided over the next seven weeks. At present, romantic passions are extremely high: expect unusual social complications over the next two months. Already established relationships will not experience adverse affects. Remain cautious, however, and listen closely to the private family needs of long-term partners. Prior to Nov. 8, group involvement and family disagreements may intensify. Stay balanced and expect worthwhile agreements to emerge by early December. Throughout the winter months, business promises may be unreliable. Government officials and large agencies will take extra time finalizing agreements or issuing decisions. Remain patient and watch for added financial permissions or new information to arrive shortly after mid-March.
