Daily Horoscope for Friday, October 8, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today's Fiery Moon (Leo) fits nicely with your Aries Sun. It makes you playful, warmhearted and flirtatious. It might also make you extravagant when it comes to paying for entertainment and pleasure. If someone tries to talk you into doing something you don't want to do - don't.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Focus on home, family and your domestic scene today. Discussions with a parent might be significant. If you're not sure what to do however, do nothing. You like results for your efforts. By evening, clarity returns. That's when to decide when to roof your barn.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

On the whole, this is a good day for daily activities, contracts, negotiations, buying and selling, and communications in general. However, this afternoon your judgment is off just a tad. If you can feel this -- pay attention to it. Other than that, morning and evening are tops!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is pretty good day to take care of financial matters and banking stuff. "The King was in the counting house, counting out his money. The Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey." Your judgment about money is off in the afternoon so be careful then. (No money, no honey.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

With the Moon in your sign today, you're hot to trot. Nevertheless, relations with partners or close friends might be a bit confusing today. (You know how you can be when it comes love affairs and intense relationships.) You can't quite trust your judgment this afternoon.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Try to give coworkers the benefit of the doubt today. (Financial wheeler-dealers can give the benefit of the Dow.) Most definitely, if you're in doubt about something, or you wonder what someone wants -- do not assume! Others are not always as logical as you can be. Things are fuzzy this afternoon.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a good day to schmooze with friends. Attend meetings and conferences. Meet someone for lunch. A long, confidential conversation with a female friend will be satisfying and reassuring. (As only a female friend can be.) Don't make any promises this afternoon.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If you're reading this before you get dressed, take some extra care today. You will be noticed! Something will happen that calls attention to you. Discussions with bosses, parents and teachers are also quite interesting. (They might also be confusing in the afternoon.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your true Sagittarian soul is stirred today! Fleetingly, you want to blow this pop stand. You want to travel to explore great ideas, and pretend that you're Bill Murray in The Razor's Edge. Life is profound. (And look at all the neat outfits he got to wear.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is good day to focus on bills, insurance matters, wills, estates, debt, taxes and whatever you share with anybody else. This afternoon, your judgment is clouded; therefore, don't bet the farm. Resist the temptation to martyr yourself about something. By evening, you're back on track.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

With the Moon opposing your sign today, in a way, you have to go along for the ride. You might think that others are being demanding. And you're probably right. But coast with things if you can. There are always two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This can be quite a good day at work. It's a good morning, and it's a good evening. The afternoon however, is questionable. (In a minor way.) If you think someone is not being straight with you, it could be the case. Keep your eyes open.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Damon (1970) shares your birthday. You're a romantic. (You love adventure!) But you're also practical, capable and resourceful. You have a deep understanding about what makes people tick. You're good with money, and responsible with family matters. No matter how far you go in life, you remember your roots. The year ahead is social, fun loving and focused on relationships.
