Do not dwell on misunderstandings or let doubts drain your enthusiasm during the upcoming two to three weeks. Avoid making sudden changes and impulsive decisions in mid-October when, although your heart is in the right place, there could be hidden drawbacks. Your business sense could be enhanced in late October and early November, making it a good time to evaluate your investments and expenses.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Right now, your thoughts could revolve around your personal appearance, demeanor or how your reputation may affect your social life. Don’t let the reactions of others make you feel self-conscious.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Project confidence in all your current successes. Feel free to brag a little and showcase your talents when you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Earning the credentials you may need could be taking longer than you first anticipated. Try not to feel disappointed if you sense a lack of family support. You might have a crowd of friends ready to cheer you on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If past mistakes come back to haunt you, try not to worry. Be fully accountable and you can turn criticism into assets.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Put key financial decisions on hold for now. Even the best researched and prepared people can still hit a snag if the conditions are not optimal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Hurt feelings can’t be repaired with just gifts. Look into their eyes and make sincere amends. They do not have to forgive, but they might be more likely if you show them your heart instead of your wallet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can accomplish more in the future if you exert a little extra effort now. Follow through on your projects even if you feel discouraged by possible setbacks. The key to success is usually found in perseverance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By spending some time with other ambitious go-getters, you can expand your skill set and broaden your network of allies or supportive friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Now might not be the best time to discuss family drama with your friends or challenge authority figures. Remain cooperative and discreet and you can increase your financial base.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The only way to save time is to use every moment as efficiently as possible. Wait for the most powerful timing for your biggest initiatives.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Do your best to avoid trouble by remaining diplomatic in group situations. Now may not be a favorable time to make new investments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Life can be messy and complicated, but true and loyal friends could get you through. Bouncing from loyalty to loyalty may be damaging to your trustworthy reputation.
