Daily Horoscope for Sunday, October 19, 2008

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5:45 a.m. until 7:50 a.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might experience difficulties with women, especially parents or female bosses today; however, this might not happen. But just in case, be aware of this and speaks sweetly and softly. And while you're at it, be extra accommodating with partners and close friends as well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Conversations with others are a bit strained today. Power plays about shared possessions or shared property or snarky little comments about something at work could get your goat. Take a deep breath and step back from all this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Avoid financial disputes or arguments about money today, especially partners. Similarly, discussions about money spent for social occasions and entertaining or money spent for child related expenses might occur. Actually, this tension is temporary. It will pass. (Especially if you drink a lot of water.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is in your sign today but it's making harsh aspects to Mercury and Pluto. This means it's easy to get into an argument with someone which is probably just a power struggle. You might not initiate it. You might attract this kind of thing to you. (Tomorrow is a better day.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be smoldering about something but it's too petty to talk about it. This happens a lot because you hate petty, and therefore, you hate to indulge in petty reactions. Nevertheless, it's the petty stuff that can really get under your skin (as opposed to the sweaty stuff which stays on the surface.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Squabbles about possessions or money easily arise today. People are always touchy about money! They're way more sensitive and private about money than they are about sex. Therefore, tread carefully. Clarify things but don't be silly.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Power struggles with authority figures, especially female authority figures and bosses are likely today. This includes Mom. Don't take the bait if someone irritates you. You have the choice of response. And if you respond in kind -- then you're just like the other person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Financial disputes or quarrels about publishing, education and travel (possibly even legal and medical matters) are likely today. Just avoid these because all irritating occasions that arise today are temporary. They'll be gone by tomorrow. Don't let petty people bring you down to their level.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might find yourself in the midst of a group of people arguing -- could be family, or an organization or club or just the gang. Do not get involved. And if you are involved -- then back off. Nothing will be gained, and you might just end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a poor day to go up against objections with bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures. But you might be tempted to do this. Nevertheless, refrain from doing so because it will only make matters worse. You are a patient sign. Demonstrate grace under pressure. (For your survival.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid emotional discussions about race issues, politics and religion. This will go nowhere. You'll achieve nothing. But you could create an enemy or make yourself miserable. Why would you want to do this? Instead, go with the flow. Lighten up and enjoy the day.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Disputes about shared possessions and shared responsibilities related to children or other people's resources or wealth could ensue today. Hey -- you need this like two fish need a bicycle. Turn aside and do something else.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Novelist John Le Carre, pseudonym for David John Moore Cornwell (1931 ) shares your birthday today. You're an independent thinker. You see things from your own point of view. You're outspoken and passionate about what your beliefs. In particular, you investigate to determine the truth about something and then expose it if need be. You value family and friends. You protect your privacy. Learn what you need to know now in order to work hard to build or construct something next year.
