Libra
Born between: Sep 23rd - Oct 22nd
Convincing and charming are the best characteristics of someone born under the Libra star sign. When they overcome shyness those with the Libra sign are great debaters who will always share credit for their wins.
Your emotions are in rather a fragile state today, and you're quite likely to imagine that someone has slighted you when that isn't really what's happened at all. Maybe they're simply too busy to spend as much time with you as you'd like. Resist the temptation to tell yourself that this is the end of the road, or that you're going to finish the relationship through sheer pique. Wait and see what happens during the next few days before taking such desperate measures.
If you're worried about your health, or that of someone dear to you, try to do something about it during the next two weeks. Seek medical help if needs be, or talk to someone who can give you some useful advice. If you want to lose weight, give up a habit such as smoking, or get more exercise, this is a marvellous time to begin. Take it gently and don't expect overnight miracles.
You're torn between logic and emotion today, with the result that you'll keep changing your mind about what you think. This will be made worse if you ask others for their opinions because you'll quickly decide that they're right, before moving on to the next person and probably revising your views again in the light of what they say. You'll end up going round in circles if you carry on like this!
If there have been problems with you-know-who recently, this is a good day to sort them out. You won't have to make a huge production out of it, either, because a few quiet words in their ear might be all that's needed to get things back on track. Alternatively, if someone wants to reason with you, you'll be very receptive to what they're saying.
You're in a very erratic mood today, making it difficult to settle down to anything for long before you start to get bored or irritated. Ideally, you should have as many distractions and changes of pace as possible now, to keep yourself interested in what's going on around you. Concentrate when using sharp or hot objects to avoid becoming accident-prone.
This is a really good day for dealing with anything that's been on your conscience recently. It will be a huge relief to take some constructive action at long last, and it will also go better than you might have imagined. You have quite a lot of energy right now and you'll enjoy using up some of it in domestic chores, such as doing some cleaning or gardening.
The coming couple of weeks are ideal for thinking about your hopes and plans for the future, especially if you want to start mapping out your strategy. You'll enjoy grappling with a few mental challenges, too, so won't be too fazed if some of your plans don't seem to add up at first. Activities with an intellectual slant will also appeal to you now.
Do you believe in telepathy? If not, you soon will because it's working strongly for you right now. For instance, you might be thinking about someone only to have them ring up a minute later, or you and a loved one might both start talking about the same thing at the same time. If distance separates you from a certain person, you may feel their presence as though they were standing next to you.
This is an excellent day for talking about things that are dear to your heart or which you normally like to keep secret. You'll be choosy about who you talk to, because you'll have to feel that you trust them. If someone wants to confide in you, make sure that you can keep their secrets. If you can't it might be better to suggest that they talk to someone else.
During the next four weeks there will be times when you long to be left to your own devices. That's because you'll be feeling quite solitary and contemplative, and you won't want to make the effort to be sociable. You may have to explain these phases to your nearest and dearest, so they don't think you've suddenly gone off them or that you've got something to hide.
Give yourself some light relief today, whether that means going out with friends, attending a big social event or losing yourself in a favourite hobby. You're about to enter a more reflective phase now, so make the most of this chance to kick up your heels and make merry. You might make a new chum along the way, which will be a bonus.
Why the long face? You're feeling rather downcast and lacklustre right now, and everything seems to involve too much effort. Do your best to face up to whatever is wrong, and also to view it in a rational light. That's because it is highly likely that you're making mountains out of molehills, and allowing even minor snags to get you down. A short break might help.
Everything seems to be happening at once today. There could be lots of distractions that you've got to cope with, important pieces of paper might go astray or you may have to deal with an appliance that refuses to behave itself. All this is likely to make you want to tear your hair out with frustration unless you can somehow distance yourself from all this mayhem and keep calm.
It's a strange day because there's a lot you want to say, but there may be reasons why you feel you have to stay silent. Perhaps you're worried about hurting someone's feelings if you blurt out your thoughts, and that's certainly possible now. You might also accidentally reveal more than you intended if you speak without thinking it through first. So be careful!
You strike a good balance between reality and optimism today, so it's a brilliant chance to make plans and lay the foundations for future projects. You're also full of common sense without it turning you into a stick-in-the-mud. You'll do well if you can work by yourself for a while, because that will help your mind to focus on whatever is most important at the moment.
A friendship enters a new phase during the coming fortnight, breathing fresh air into it. This will be really exciting and encouraging, especially if things have been flagging between you recently. This will also be a marvellous time to get involved in some form of group activity, particularly if it will widen your social circle or it caters for one of your interests.
If someone's looking for a confidant, you'll be their natural choice. This might surprise you, especially if you hold them in high esteem or you can't imagine them ever having any problems. Well, right now they need to talk to you and you'll want to do what you can to help. Make sure you listen carefully and don't be too hasty about reaching conclusions or arriving at quick-fix solutions.
At some point today, try to have a little time to yourself. You need some solitude and peace, even if the only way to get it is to lock yourself in the bathroom or go for a long walk. There are certain things that you need to mull over, and you won't be able to do that properly if lots of other people are milling about. You might also enjoy doing some meditation or creative visualization.
There are some very pleasant surprises in store for you today, especially where your work is concerned. You might hit it off so well with a colleague or customer that it almost seems as though you're flirting with each other n and maybe you are! If a relationship gets off the ground today it will be fun-loving, unusual and very entertaining.
You're in an incisive frame of mind, which is perfect for reaching decisions. Right now you have no desire to beat about the bush, nor to fudge the issue, and so you'll want to go straight to the heart of the matter. You'll use no-nonsense language, which some people might find uncompromising. Nevertheless, you have to speak as you find at the moment.
Play your cards right and you'll be able to form a strong emotional rapport with someone you admire and respect. If you're really lucky, they might tuck you under their wing or grant you some favours. It will help if you're polite to them but don't fall into the trap of buttering them up too much because that will make them wonder what you really want from them.
Get out and about as much as possible today. Ideally, you should forget about your usual Tuesday routine and do something completely different for a change because it will be a real tonic. You'll also enjoy getting together with people who have a refreshing take on life and who can help you to see it from another angle.
Be wary about making wild statements or exaggerated claims today because they'll come back to haunt you. You are likely to be caught out, which could leave you with a red face. Although you're very steamed up about something that offends your principles or beliefs, try not to turn it into a major drama or use it as an excuse to lose your temper about other things.
You're in a very practical mood today and you want to get to grips with anything that currently needs your attention. For instance, you might want to go over some accounts or pay a few bills, or you could have to check the terms of an insurance policy. You won't flinch from whatever it is that you have to do, even if it isn't very interesting or fun. You'll simply do what you've got to do.
The next four weeks emphasize your relationships with people who are older, wiser or more influential than you. You might even strike up an intense or significant friendship with someone who comes into this category, leading to an improvement in your status or power, or a boost to your ego. However, you must be honest with yourself about what you want from this person.
You're able to make some very powerful and long-lasting changes to your life today, provided that you follow some important rules. For a start, you should consult anyone who'll be affected by what you're proposing, and if possible you should get their approval or co-operation before going ahead. You must also keep control of your emotions and be very aware of what you're doing.
Make the most of your social life today, whether that means going to a big party or simply having a quick drink with a friend. You're in a very gregarious and outgoing mood, which is guaranteed to attract plenty of attention, especially from the opposite sex. This is just what you want if you're hoping to dazzle a certain someone with your charms and leave them gasping for more.
Watch out for someone who's thinking and behaving like a martyr. They obviously want your approval and respect, but they're going about it in the wrong way. There may also be more than a hint of self-satisfaction in their behaviour, making you suspect that they're actually on an ego trip. But whether you dare to say any of this is another matter!
Approach life from as practical an angle as possible today. You aren't interested in theories or suppositions - you want to deal with the facts. This makes it an ideal day to sort out problems at work or to unravel a tangle of red tape. If you're talking to someone important on the phone, it will help to take notes of your conversation in case you need to refer to it again.
Your energy levels are very erratic today, making it difficult to get through the day smoothly. Try to treat your body with respect, because existing on a meagre or unhealthy diet will only make the problem worse. If you're at work, a colleague might blow hot and cold, or there could be an unexpected encounter with a certain person that leaves you wondering what on earth is going on.
It's difficult to keep track of your thoughts today because they're whirling around in so many different directions. This will make you seem rather absent-minded to others because you'll be so easily distracted. There are also more interruptions to contend with than usual, making you long for some peace and quiet. So do yourself a favour and have some time on your own, otherwise you'll end up at screaming pitch.
