Horoscope - October 26

The Aries moon provides the rocket fuel to blast past the emotional residue of the earlier week. If you were thinking too much and doing too little, now you can make up for lost time. We willing to delegate – you may have to give up on some tasks altogether. If you haven’t made something a high enough priority, there is probably a good reason.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your interest in world problems could grow to involve more of your time and possibly lead to a new career. A lover realizes that you need more space and honors your wishes. Located investors through an influential family member.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Open communication brings new trust. Don’t seek nirvana in love, keep doing things one day at a time. Continue with your study and travel plans. Singles who want to get more dates should appear less available.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your past mistakes are forgotten. A winning answer can only come if you dare to ask the question. Friendly forces naturally lead you into a new business environment, enterprises or emotional space. An overlooked letter is lucky.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your willpower improves. Self-confidence continues to grow if you stay away from negative relatives. A temperamental friends loves you more than you think. Your strong feelings are not rational; they need to be explored.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Vivid dreams through the night allude to strong feelings about an upcoming event. Worrying all the time makes you miss a subtle offer. Your tendency to overdo or to exaggerate could haunt you. Be moderate in everything.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 26). This is a year when social advantages open to you, especially in the next four weeks, which lead to increased income and romance in your life. Handle money well, or it could slip through your fingers in November. There are many shifting energies in December, so you must remain on your toes. Your best signs for love are Capricorn and Aries. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 22, 41, 20 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Lately, everything seems to be in your favor. Ideas you create now could bring money in the future. Visit potential customers, old friends or the boss. Truth about the past can never be acquired with certainty, so forget this.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Perseverance pays big. Explore cultural differences and shared interests with a foreign-born co-worker. You’ll have a strong appetite for sweets throughout the day. One-on-one sport with a new friend will provide laughs and intimacy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Material gains seem increasingly important, as does the ambitious pursuit of certain titles and roles. Try and simplify your life. Reach out to one person or commit to one project instead of trying so hard to do everything.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Get out and make a strong connection with someone who thinks like you. Marvelous social opportunities are available if you can squeeze them in. Loving eyes are on you, especially when you are unaware.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your personal life takes on a new intensity. All the ingredients for financial success are within reach. New times are coming, and you’ll get a hint of this tonight. Only say "yes" to romantic offers if you truly see a future with the one asking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Value your own judgments – even with experts. Issue a gentle reminder to someone who tends to overstep the boundaries. Bosses, judges and parents become sticklers for perfection. Relatives need to hear from you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships grow through carefree recreation. You can find more creative solutions to work problems. Don’t make jokes at your own expense. Be gracious about the small stuff, and large presents will land in your lap.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Will my boyfriend ever marry me? I was born Aug. 10, 1962. He’s an Aries who keeps saying he needs more time."

You are a Leo – and an Aries/Leo combination starts off on the right foot. Notice I said "starts off." Both fire signs can keep up with the other’s fast pace, but they need a catalyst to makes things happen. Unfortunately, Aries men tend to mistrust their own judgment. Your man (incidentally, I have his full-birth data, but you asked me not to reveal his identity) is harboring some fears about marriage because of a past lover who is still in the picture. She’s not a rival for his love, but she’s always available, so it gives him an escape hatch.

You, and many Leo and Libra women who have not been married during the past ten years, will be sought after by marriage-minded men in July and October. However, if you want this Aries man, you must seek out the refuge of your family or longtime friends in July. Spend time with them. You see, Aries men respond to spectacles: They want to have their drama (your mutual relationship) played out on a large stage so numbers of people, including your family, interact with you and him. When he makes the suggestions of marriage, don’t start planning a lavish wedding – it will make him doubt again!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Musical artist Polly Jean Harvey (better known as P.J.) is a pioneer of modern sound. Libra is the sign of fine art, and musicians born of this sign are on the cutting edge of exploration, often influenced by works outside their medium altogether. Musicians are inspired by paintings, filmmakers inspired by music, and performance artists inspired by architecture – the more offbeat the better for this sign of eclectic taste! Harvey could have a crossover pop hit this year with a song featured in a film.
