The Venus-ruled Libra born this week can charm the birds from the trees any day of the week.
Libra uses charm since they do not like arguments and will avoid them whenever possible.
They love having a partner and often tolerate any kind of nonsense to avoid being alone. The Libra is charming and always tries to be diplomatic and pleasing to everyone. So, of course, they have plenty of friends both young and old.
Of all the signs in the Zodiac, Libra needs harmony and peace to survive and enjoy life.
This sign is the diplomat of all the signs and often achieves their goal very early in life. They are the student leader, the pleaser and the hero.
Because they like being known as the advisor of harmony whenever there is controversy, you will find the Libra in the background, seldom saying a negative word.
People born this week: Mario Lopez, Oct. 10, 1973; Matt Bomer, Oct. 11, 1977; Hugh Jackman, Oct. 12, 1968; Margaret Thatcher, Oct. 13, 1925; Usher, Oct. 14, 1978; Keyshia Cole, Oct. 15, 1981; John Mayer, Oct. 16, 1977; and Eminem, Oct. 17, 1972.
The heavens have calmed down a little, but we still should be aware Mercury is retrograde and will be that way until Oct. 25. There will be a solar eclipse on Oct. 23 and the sun moves into Scorpio on the same day., the planet of action, moves into Capricorn on Oct. 26. So right now it is relatively calm. The best day this week will be Thursday when the moon is in Leo.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) It is the perfect time to prepare for a big project you would like to begin in a month. A newcomer could add plenty of sparkle to your life. So stay alert and get ready for the new you, which will appear in just three weeks. Of course the work should be done now, so it can happen.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Life should be improving for you now, so keep smiling. A surprise offer from out of the blue could be just what you need. So consider what is involved, then let things happen slowly. You want to remember the mistakes of the past. So act slowly and with patience. You will be happy with the final results.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Although your new life plan has been evolving slowly, you will be happy with the final results. The more change you accept now the less you will have to do in the near future. So let life happen now and then by the end of the month you will be sitting pretty with a new exciting adventure.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) If your emotions are still rocking around in your heart, then you need some meditation. Try a day of silence. It will work wonders for your spirit and turn you into a new soul. A family member could also give you a boost just when you need it. So smile and count your blessings.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) Your life is moving along rapidly and sometimes, when we live in the fast lane, we neglect important issues. Keep your integrity in clear view at all times and this could be a high point in your life. If you want loyalty, and you do, then you must be loyal now.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) A change of pace would do you a world of good right now. So pull some strings and get yourself off – either alone or with a favorite love – and get some rest. Work will be rewarding once again after a short getaway. An old love is thinking of you night and day. Think of getting in touch.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) One short message could change your thinking from negative to positive in one short moment. So don’t let any message go unread or unanswered. It would be a mistake. If you need a refresher course in love, then gather up some pals and read a book by Wayne Dyer or Michael Beckwith.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) With Saturn in Scorpio you have been exposed to some serious lessons of life. It is time to move forward with a new understanding of your inner strength and a new emotional life. Know that it is time to look at love with a wider view and let more people into your inner circle. You are headed into a happier time.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) Living life one day at a time is the best way to go this week. You will get so much more from that lifestyle than if you keep pushing yourself to the edge. Spending some time alone will force you to establish some new goals, plus a new direction. This will be good for you and you alone.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) Because of the changes Pluto in Capricorn has forced you to make, you must be feeling more aware of the real you. This means more meaningful friendships, more loyalty and certainly more confidence. This is a good way to refine your life and become even more sophisticated and lively.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) You are reaping what you have sown in the past. If you don’t like what is happening, it is time to once again make a change or two. You will be glad you did and so will everyone who knows you. Wait until the end of October before making any more big moves. An old love could look you up.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) Spending time on creative goals is a wise use of your energy right now. Looking for new arty interests is also a good idea. Watch for deception that Neptune can bring and don’t fall for any half-baked ideas. You are too smart to waste your time doing the wrong project. New projects can wait three weeks.
