Daily Horoscope for Thursday, October 26, 2006

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2 p.m. until midnight EDT today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

At this time, you might disagree with a partner about how to handle shared resources or jointly held property. There could be disputes. In your private life, any physical intimacy will be unusually intense. (You don't feel casual about anything right now!)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

With Mars opposite your sign now, you'll likely encounter some tension with partners and close friends. Even an enemy might throw down the gauntlet. The problem is Mars never likes to compromise or give up or admit a mistake. (Horrors!) "Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?"

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're willing to do forgo tomorrow's pleasure for today's work. You have a strong desire to accomplish as much as you can. However, since the planet Mars is in the mix, this is not the time to be a team player. You want others to recognize what your contribution is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's totally natural for you to feel playful and prankish right now. You want to have fun! (And you don't want anyone raining on your parade.) This is a good time to get involved with sports, playful activities with children, romance and creative projects.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It's all too easy to fall prey to compulsive, habitual behavior right now. The problem with this is that before you can say Jaromir Jager, you could end up fighting about something you don't even care that much about. (And how uncool is that?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The tempo of your everyday life is accelerating! Conversations with others are important now (especially with siblings) because you seem to identify so strongly with your opinions and ideas. Therefore, be careful you don't try to coerce others to agree with you. Is it really so important?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It's very easy right now to confuse your personal possessions and your bank account with your own sense of self worth. (As I've said before, you are not your bank account. You are your car.) Seriously, you are not what you have. You're a precious, unique human being.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

There's increased activity in your life, which is why so much is happening. Without question, if you work very hard now, and you assert yourself with others, you have a chance to show the world what you can really do!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In the next few weeks, you might feel vaguely irritable or uneasy. Be aware that childish behavior on your part could suddenly erupt out of nowhere. (Embarrassing but true.) These are undermining patterns from your past that you're hardly aware of. (Don't bring Teddy to work.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Conflict with a friend or a member of a group is easy to encounter now. The trick is to coordinate your needs and wants with those of others. Make your success the success of others. Look for common goals. Avoid the inherent competition.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your desire to achieve is humongous now. This means you can get a lot done; however, it also means you could encourage friction or conflict with authority figures. "Not good!" Parents, bosses and VIPs might thwart your plans. Be cool.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

At this time, you might fall into arguments or disputes about racial questions, politics, religion or even something related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Educational matters are also touchy. Don't make a big deal about it. It will pass. (Especially if you drink lots of water.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (1947) shares your birthday today. You have strong reforming instincts: you want to make the world a better place. You understand the dynamics of society and how power is used. You appear fearless because you are in control of your emotions. You're practical and always plan ahead. You have good money savvy. This year might be one of the best years of your life!
