For Tuesday, October 26, 2004

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Before Pat Sajak (10/26/47) ever laid eyes on the Wheel of Fortune he had been a teenaged deejay, a soldier in Vietnam, a weatherman and a newscaster. Scorpio is the sign of regeneration and reincarnation and those born under the sign of the Scorpion often wear many different roles in life, all so convincingly and with such conviction that it's difficult to see them as anything else but the current role they are playing! I predict that Mr. Sajak will add another Emmy to his growing collection in the years to come.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gorgeous Jaclyn Smith (10/26/47) is a Scorpio entrepreneur who has built an apparel and home furnishings business that I predict will be booming thanks to an opening in the industry, perhaps left ajar by the incarceration of Martha Stewart. But Ms. Smith must take a lesson from Ms. Stewart in order to step up to the plate, insisting on only the very highest quality materials and the freshest ideas for her products.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 26): Your compass guides you down the path of least resistance this year. You see opportunities where you never noticed them before because you realize that life doesn't have to be hard, people want to help you and you are loved more than you knew before. Romantic times next month can turn into a solid committed relationship by the New Year. Taurus and Cancer are highly compatible with you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 5, 34, 20 and 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be feeling uncharacteristically shy. Social situations can be stressful, even when you know everyone involved. Breathe through your discomfort and don't allow your mind to go down paranoid, winding paths that you know will lead you nowhere. By this evening you'll feel better and realize that everyone is vulnerable in some way. We're only human, that is to say completely flawed and because of this, quite loveable!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You're a hard worker, and your hard work is paying off too – though you probably won't know this in any tangible way until about thirty days from now. It's time to make those reminder calls about all the little loose ends in your life. People respond to your gentle prodding and will deliver results more quickly because of your effort. Children are learning from your example, so tonight, pay close attention to the tone you are setting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Being culturally attuned is your thing. You know what's hip, hot and newsy. And people less clued in can't help but be attracted to you or even a little afraid of you. After all, you could expose them as being square and out of it. Be generous with your knowledge and fight the urge to come off like you're in an exclusive club of some kind. If dating tonight, all goes so well that you'll want a repeat performance ASAP.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Job opportunities are featured, even if you're not currently looking. It's anything but a waste of time to investigate your options. The smallest thread of information will contribute to the way you work in the future. Keep open to the methods of others, especially the wacky ones. Sweethearts have needs and even demands this evening. Just remember that you can help someone out, but you can't make them happy. People have to decide to be happy on their own.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You're unconsciously looking to bond with people who can parent you in some way. Role models will seem bigger than life and you could find yourself imitating them, using their words and picking up on their habits. It's a healthy and progressing thing to do because you're growing. Tonight, be careful not to expect your loved ones to behave in an ideal manner. Your idea about how things should go and someone else's are completely at odds, but the compromise is fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You're in a creative mood and will be further inspired by friends in a similar pursuit to yours. A little competition is healthy, but being overly competitive could cause a blow out. Read the signals so you will know when to back off. Beware in investing in someone's potential instead of taking into account who they are right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Solitude and quiet helps you fill your well back up. But finding it is difficult with so many people around you, each following his or her own quest. Many try to involve you and some use the tactics meant to fool you into taking on their problems. Once you make a problem yours, it's yours. So don't go there. Playing the rescuer once only leads to more of the same.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Your emotional warmth is infectious, which is why you'll find so many people around you now. Since you know what you want, you may as well ask everyone. You're probably only three degrees away from the very person who will solve your problem. Family life is wrought with ego conflicts, but once the most willful person backs down, everyone else follows suit and a compromise can finally be struck. Physical energy is high so get in a good workout.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) People who have lived under the same roof for quite some time still have much to learn about one another and this is strikingly apparent today. Your nearest and dearest may have a value system that's different from yours, and of course that doesn't make it wrong, just terribly inconvenient. Wouldn't it be nice, for instance, if everyone put the same importance on pitching in and cleaning up? Well for now the onus is on you to keep up your lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Getting into a new partnership isn't favored, but making the partnerships you're already in work more effectively is an excellent use of your energy. Your needs and wants have changed, and you can bet your partner's needs and wants are different to. So have a candid conversation and agree ahead of time to work things out, no matter what comes up. That way you'll really get to the bottom of things quickly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You'll have deep, profound feelings, and then possibly forget about them an hour later. It doesn't mean those thoughts are any less true or insightful, it's just that kind of day. New developments continuously take you on new and possibly silly tangents, but all is not lost. At least you can't say it was a boring day. Tonight you could encounter some aspect of yourself within a relationship that surprises you. "I do that?" you'll think. There's wisdom to be garnered here.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You've got a very specific vision of how this day should go, and hopefully the people around you are on the same page. If not, there are many challenges early on. You'll probably make requests that are not reasonable, but then again the term "reasonable" is subjective. Much depends on the resources you have available. Cash talks. Tonight, the excitement that you can generate for your projects is remarkable. New players want to be on your team.

MONEYSCOPE

ARIES: Leading, not following, will get you out of a financial bind.

TAURUS: If you give today's work your best shot, you don’t have to worry about what tomorrow brings.

CANCER: Sagittarius has worthwhile investment tips.

LEO: Your association with someone with the initials "K" and "B" will be very lucrative.

VIRGO: You can be confident that if trouble strikes, you will have what it takes to turn that trouble into something useful.

LIBRA: At work, work! When not at work, enjoy your family or doing your own thing… as long as it’s not working!

SCORPIO: A Pisces team member helps you out in a financial pinch.

SAGITTARIUS: Working with someone else helps you understand what you're capable of.

CAPRICORN: Big deals are stalled, but you can get a million other arrangements solidified while you wait.

AQUARIUS: Casual conversations lead to employment possibilities.

PISCES: You're best off when you completely ignore what a “helpful” friend tries to get you to do with your money.
