For Thursday, October 28, 2004

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Julia Roberts (10/28/67) has taken time off from movies to have and care for her twin babies! Will these little tykes be getting much media attention? Heavens no! The public will be lucky to get a tabloid glimpse, as Scorpio mothers are fierce protectors of their children's rights, especially the right to privacy! It's also difficult for Scorpio mothers to stay away from work for very long. Expect Ms. Roberts to jump back into filmmaking in 2006.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: With a net worth of over 50 billion dollars, Bill Gates (10/28/55) is the wealthiest private individual in the world. This Harvard drop out from an upper-middle class family changed history with his vision of a future where nearly every individual would use a home-based computer. Scorpio people employ a great deal of intuition in the visioning process and can make a strong connection with the collective unconscious, determining before others do what the underlying needs of a society might be.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 28): You are so accepting of others and of yourself this year that you'll attract success that eluded you before – you're no longer getting in your own way. People trust you and want you on their team. This makes finding lucrative work easy and by January you'll probably be doing something different for money. Investments in February will pay off in the spring. Romance is a breeze with Aries or Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 30, 52, 31 and 35.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It's easy to get overwhelmed and caught up in what will soon come to pass. Give what is needed now and let the future take care of itself. You'll be shaking things up as the day progresses. You can successfully overthrow a staunch tradition with one brilliant change in your approach. Being the leader has its pluses, so volunteer and you'll enjoy immediate benefits. Paradox of the Day: Love demands plenty of freedom in order for each party to feel completely committed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some people believe that you shouldn't try to change other people, but isn't "change" sort of the point? Otherwise what are we learning from one another? If all goes well, you will be changed by interacting with powerful and interesting people, and they will be changed by knowing you. It takes time and effort for new behaviors to take hold, but watch and be open to doing things in a new and more effective way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Stars could stir up some authority issues. Who's in charge isn't quite as important as what is being perpetuated by the actions taken by those in charge. Stand on principle instead of arguing over power. This afternoon, you'll probably run into exactly the person you don't want to see. Life's little coincidences may seem unfair at the time, but later you're glad for them. In general you'll experience good luck by way of your reputation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) There's a chance to start an old relationship in a fresh direction (whether it be your relationship with a person, or with money, or work). Getting clear on guidelines and making new policies is favored. Religious beliefs may bring special insight, or you have an inspiring meeting with someone you used to know. Tonight gives a boost to intuitive powers. It's the perfect time to walk a mile in someone else's moccasins.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You listen intently to what other people need and are therefore able to provide help. There is one person in your realm that isn't looking for help so much as an excuse to push your buttons and create some drama – a smoke screen for the real issues that this person is going through. It's best to avoid this person altogether and not to engage him or her in her "sickness." Things get better with distance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You desire immediate victory, even though common sense tells you that you've still got plenty of dues to pay. Every step in life comes with its own set of requirements that must be followed to get to the next step. Don't give up before you've met those requirements. If it's not working, it's nothing personal about you. It only means that you haven't yet done all the work required to make it go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Listen before talking. Think before acting. If you follow these two rules, your day turns out fantastic, with lots of little surprising results that will make you smile. This is an excellent day to train people to handle details, gather information or to manage more responsibility. You are patient, and your nurturing style makes people want to be around you and learn more from you. Tonight features a task that only you can accomplish.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Stars get your ideas buzzing and what's even better is that everyone seems willing to share the friends, wealth and knowledge with you that will help you get some of these ideas off the ground. You'll have questions as to how much power to give those in charge and why. Stand on principles instead of worrying about who has more authority. In love, be open-minded. Someone who can't make a commitment is still a lot of fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) When boredom strikes, be willing to look at yourself in mirror; decide what it is you really want. You appreciate good intentions, but shouldn't settle for less than you expect in love relationship. Education also figures into the relationship equation. Don't be afraid to ask about something your loved one may assume you already know. Tonight, a hobby could bring huge financial gains if you take time to nurture your skills.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A limitation is ultimately what moves you to the next level. Focus on what makes you so special. Your domestic situation is shifting, becoming more calm and organized. A loved one who seems unfeeling has actually been hurt too many times to trust. Don't take it to heart. Your patience will be appreciated in time. At work, it's up to you to obtain needed resources, since you're the one who can clearly see what's needed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Finish something big! Make the push through the yellow ribbon by calling those remote contacts. When you ask for outside help you'll finally make sense of a puzzling matter. It's especially helpful to consult a water sign (Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces). Tonight, style counts, and you have it. Gracious hosting gets you rave reviews. Note: It's fine to reinvent yourself for your own entertainment, but never because someone doesn't accept you the way you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Diligent work has gotten you this far, so continue in the same direction, even if so-called friends are tempting you to go off the path. One more day of attacking that to-do list will make a big difference. People who are paid to speak on your behalf need to get a better sense of who you really are. Take the time to tell your story. Shop for loved ones this afternoon, but don't spend more than your budget.
