Weekly Stars October 6th 2013

Libra

Last week’s Libra New Moon has changed everything, and you move into a shiny, different world. Your grand projects take their first steps as you fuse a rebellious streak into your career. Sort out finances midweek, when a big idea takes solid shape - get the patent on it. Limit your thinking to practical moves and you can sign up for a deal without worrying about the blowback. Brotherly and sisterly love show up midweek and romance stirs with a face from the neighbourhood. You are brisk and businesslike under a charming veneer and discretion steers you through Tuesday's tricky conversation.

Scorpio

Spell your words out clearly and leave no room for crossed wires. You are shy of a certain subject, but better to broach it than leave an elephant in the room. Set your ideas down for posterity. Opportunities abound, even when everything is down to you. Monday’s Scorpio Moon gets you noticed in a first-class field.

Sagittarius

High-toned Venus hits your sign and brings a fun and cocktails feeling. You are in forgiving mood and offering an olive branch shows your strong hand. You know your mind, have energy in reserve and others can follow. Wednesday's Sagittarius Moon gets you past the crossroads and personal freedom beats working for the machine.

Capricorn

Partnerships bring out your inner magic. You have a benevolent streak in love and a mentor figure brings a cosmopolitan flavour into your world. Friday’s Capricorn Moon gets you down to business and you combine a social with the nitty-gritty affairs. In a spell of transition, making a promise sends a signal that you are serious.

Aquarius

Keep the debate civilized, even when a friend get underneath the surface. Together you put meat on the bones of a notion whose moment has arrived. A free spirit makes a romantic spark and a smart crowd brings new inspiration. Saturday lets you go hard and stay out later, and good stuff comes when you live in the moment.

Pisces

Your happy smile boosts your cause and you know how to spread the word. PR planet Venus keeps you in the spotlight and your artist's eye finds a new solution at work. Combine rhapsodic feelings with real-world savvy and Wednesday sees you paint your masterpiece. Think big, stay honest and travel doors open on demand.

Aries

Your restless energy demands a release as you spearhead a new campaign. Still, keep it friendly, and being in the flow beats nailing your strategy down. Lots goes on under the surface froth and you dive into taboo areas on Wednesday. Somebody demands a commitment, but trust your instincts before giving your final word.

Taurus

Your partner's mind is fascinating as a joint effort wins the day. Make a romantic pact and stick to it. Tuesday finds you tiptoeing round a sensitive subject, but don't back out of the debate. Venus, your ruler, finds new intensity in love and your smart image swings a sweetheart deal. Get past tired Tuesday and it’s onwards and up.

Gemini

A third party acts as go-between and brings you closer to the action. People-planet Venus gives you the listening gift and life lacks lustre without somebody to bounce off. You are made for detail work and reading the fine print cuts through limiting regulations. Lay in plans for the weekend as your energy surges back by Friday.

Cancer

Pin your position down and an influential type is open to your plans. It's all about details and you make a creative manifesto for the long-run. Go off the reservation at work, but realize people closer to home depend on you. A laid-back weekend shapes up and nothing beats a nostalgia trip with an old friend who understands.

Leo

All systems go, as fiery Mars seizes a chance where before you let it slip. More haste less speed, as you pre-empt arguments by keeping active on all fronts. Cool charm rounds your attitude out midweek and somebody warms up to you straight off the bat. Warm down for the weekend and quiet meditation sees inspiration bubbling up.

Virgo

The home front is your best bet as you set about making things beautiful. The Moon and Venus blend in your domestic zone and a friendly ambience draws people closer. You are a diplomat and your critical eye eats up editorial work on Wednesday. Speed through deadlines and make your mind up before second thoughts intrude.
