For Friday, October 29, 2004

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Thrill-seeking is part of the Scorpio personality make-up. Just as Winona Ryder (10/29/71), who of course got into trouble by taking this Scorpio quality in a very wrong direction. I predict Ms. Ryder will get thrills this year in a very different way – by tying the knot! Ms. Ryder has been reportedly engaged to Matt Damon, Dave Navarro, David Pirner, and Johnny Depp. This time she'll take the full plunge, perhaps to a "civilian" who keeps her grounded.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Scorpio actor Richard Dreyfuss (10/29/47) brilliantly portrays volatile emotions – his sign is known for passion and, yes, sex appeal. Following the lead of other actors whose appeal supercedes age, such as Jack Nicolson, Mr. Dreyfuss could actually appear sans clothing in a role this year! Even a shirtless endeavor is a big deal to Scorpio, as this sign can be very shy and private. However, their work usually comes first and so they are able to push away their reservations.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 29): Your most fabulous year to date! You'll start by planning a trip somewhere you've always wanted to go. It's so fortuitous that you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner! Love connections grow stronger as you create more experiences with loved ones. Money in December gives you the means to do this, although keep in mind that you really don't need money to be close! Love signs are Pisces and Taurus. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 24, 39, 18 and 36.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You're ready to change the way you are seen in the eyes of the world. Reinvention of your persona is nothing to be embarrassed about. Go wild. The more changes you make, the more you learn about your own strengths and weaknesses. An emotional outburst might occur tonight, but it's nothing to try and avoid. This show of passion will actually help a relationship in the long run. Others are glad you care so much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You don't have to think much to know what you're doing next. Instinct and desire take over and before you know it you're on your way to getting what you want. This goes double for your love life. It only seems natural to run after your heart's desire, and finally you realize what it is without a doubt. Impromptu gatherings will introduce you to love prospects. You might even dash off in search of passion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) It's super lucky to let the world know your plans. That may be all you have to do to get things rolling, as it's extremely easy to gather momentum with stars on your side. Your sense of humor and exceptional manners win you fans. Work is lucrative. This is a chance to really show higher ups what you can do. You'll soon be able to pay off a loan. Make a small deposit toward that goal tonight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You'll analyze your feelings, eager to come to definitive conclusions – but there are no definite conclusions. Think of your current situation as a work in process instead. Educate yourself to keep up with professional competition. You can get classes or books for the best price. Undemanding friendships are the most fulfilling and you have fun with laid back Taurus or Virgo. Love can be found while pursuing sports, hobbies, or political causes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A child, parent or spouse is feeling needy right now. Problem is, so are you. Instead of trying to outdo one another to see who's got it worse, recognize that you are both connected and by giving your full attention to them, you are also helping yourself. Don't be shy about voicing your own needs, either. You have a wonderful support system so use it. You don't need to prove how independent you are, only how human you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Changes in workplace procedures could complicate your life a bit. First, accept the fact that this one is out of your hands. Someone much, much higher up is making the decisions here. So you can either decide to make do as best you can or you can decide to find yourself a new work situation. You can also decide to stay and be miserable, but how fun is that? At least your love life is getting exciting these days.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Embrace your own unique power and everyone around you will benefit. Your vision and determination really can make the world a happier, more beautiful place. You just need to believe in yourself. When the scales seem to be tipping against you, regain your balance by focusing on what makes you special in the world. Everybody's got their something. Yours is probably that thing that is most obvious to all your friends. Ask them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) There's no sense getting angry with someone who didn't keep their word. What is anger going to accomplish for you, other than to add fuel to an already explosive situation? Just let it go. Forget they ever made that promise. Your agreement is hereby null and void. You are free to move right on to whatever your next project is. It'll all come out in the karmic wash anyway. Retreat into yourself for a bit to regroup and strategize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The heat is on. It seems like you've been waiting for this moment for months, maybe even years. You can dazzle with the best of 'em, so don't hold back. A higher up is watching how you handle yourself and secretly rooting for you. You have allies who are powerful and not always known to you. But while you're star is shining bright, don't forget the friends who knew you when. Someone far away could really use a phone call.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance anyway. You have to be willing to risk looking a little foolish to really be successful in life. Where would we be right now if Copernicus had been too afraid to tell the world that the sun's at the center of the solar system? Not giving a hoot what others think is very liberating and it is exactly what you need right now

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Beware of strangers bearing gifts or news that seems too good to be true. There's more here than meets the eye. Also, be sure to set some boundaries with that overbearing co-worker who really, really wants to be your friend. By all means, meet for lunch once a week, but don't make it a habit. This person's just waiting to latch onto you and pump you for company gossip, only to turn around and use the information against you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You and loved ones need to re-connect on some common ground. Talk about the tough issues! Whether it's where to go on your next vacation or when to start a family, you need to be flexible and find a workable compromise. Yes, your life does depend on it. And be appreciative of people who regularly put up with your neuroses? Quirky is cute only up to a point! (Yes, you also do more than your share of putting up with theirs!)

MONEYSCOPE

ARIES: With commitment, research and patience, the means will come to achieve your financial goals.

TAURUS: Financial arrangements that involve Virgo are gilded in luck.

GEMINI: New arrangements will blossom with a little more faith.

CANCER: Someone with the initials "R" and "A" will bring you hot leads.

LEO: Take time out of your schedule to look into a new way of earning.

VIRGO: A big money client has the initials "N" and "C."

LIBRA: Loyalty is built when clients, friends and family want to help, not because they feel like they have to or you’ll be mad.

SCORPIO: Don't mix love and money today.

SAGITTARIUS: You may have to travel further in order to keep up with the competition at work.

CAPRICORN: Eating at home or bringing your lunch will make a considerable difference in your financial picture over time.

AQUARIUS: Fantastic progress in business happens when Libra joins your efforts.

PISCES: What you are working toward is right around the bend, but it's impossible to see because the road winds.
