Daily Horoscope for Monday, October 11, 2004

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

By nature you're decisive; you can think on your feet. You're also very practical, and of course, you're a natural leader. (Staff Sergeant all the way.) Therefore today, when you see ways to improve things at work, you'll expect others to follow your lead. (Don't be pushy.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

I love to call you a ripe, juicy peach because you're so sensuous and sexy. Today you want to give in to your passions with abandon! It's a brief moment, but it's reckless. (Around a midday depending on your time zone.) Resist the urge to boss children around.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You've got great ideas about how to improve things at home and at work. You think they're so obvious people will just jump on board. However, there will be resistance in the ranks! Quit trying to improve people -- especially family members. (Don't even start on Mom!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Power struggles with siblings, relatives, neighbours and colleagues are likely today at some point. You're a very tenacious sign. (Like a dog with a bone.) Once you've put your mind to something, you won't let up. Today, why not lighten up about everything? It's small potatoes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're mildly obsessed about buying something today. But then, once you decide to do something, you want to make it happen. Now! Yesterday! If you can pull this off gracefully -- do so. But don't get your belly in a rash trying to get your way about cash flow today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Moon is in your sign today. This is good. Mid-day, it makes a harsh square to Pluto. This is bad. It could help you to go deep inside yourself to get a better understanding of who you are. This is good. Possibly, it makes you compulsive, pushy and manipulative. This is bad.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is not a bad day to start the week off. However, strange, niggling feelings could nag you -- weird stuff from deep down in your subconscious. (We all have weird stuff deep down in our subconscious.) This is why you keep wanting to pick up doorknobs.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A strong difference of opinions with a friend is likely today. Naturally, you're right. But does anybody see this? No! Don't try to win the argument or convince others to agree with you. Instead of winning your point you just might lose your friend. What's the good in that?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Power struggles with parents, teachers and authority figures are likely today. If you're wise, you won't even go there. (And you're wise.) People think they know what's good for others today. Obviously, nobody wants to hear this. Resist the temptation to dish this out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is the classic day where somebody will try to change your political or religious ideas. Is this necessary? Not really. You don't have to jump on anyone else's bandwagon. By the same token, you don't have to convince others to agree with you either.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be upset to find out how little you have in the bank. Or how much you owe someone. Or that someone borrowed something from you and now it's broken or lost. (Don't you hate that?) Don't let anyone guilt trip you today. (People will try.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Minor power struggles with partners or close friends -- possibly even bosses and parents -- could mar the harmony of your day. But you can avoid this. Just don't get suckered in. And don't climb on your high horse and try to correct someone about something. Resist this urge!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Joan Cusack (1962) shares your birthday. You also have strong views about society and social structures. You're diplomatic and charming, but you're quite serious when you're working. You can discover uncanny solutions to gnarly problems. Many things are ending for you this year. Let go so that you can create room for new things to enter.
