Horoscope for Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019

Moon Alert

After 7 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next six weeks, you will have to be more patient with close friends and partners because your ruler fiery Mars will be opposite your sign. When this occurs (once every two years) it has the effect of making you easily annoyed with others. Patience!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

For the next six weeks, Mars will boost your energy and help you work hard on your job or in any task that you set for yourself. Mars will also boost your health; however, watch out for infections, fevers or accidents.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will demand the right to be yourself and express exactly who you are during the next six weeks. Your motto will be, “I am!” You will be energetic in sports as well as sex. You will also be more competitive than usual, especially in athletics. “I win!”

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Expect increased activity and chaos on the home front in the next six weeks because of visiting guests, redecorating projects or renovations. Or you might be dealing with a residential move. Whatever the case, be patient with family members in order to keep the peace.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The tempo of your everyday life will pick up during the next six weeks because you identify with your ideas and opinions, which means you’ll be out there on a soapbox stating your beliefs. Beware of trying to coerce others into believing as you do. But if you have to sell an idea, you will!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You will work hard to boost your earnings in the next six weeks. This is because Mars will energize your money house. Admittedly, it will also make you spend money. Money in — money out. On the upside, you will see ways to use your possessions to get work done.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Once every two years, Mars is in your sign for six weeks. That time has arrived! Get ready for increased activity in your life as you work to further your own interests. You will be more of a fighter for your own rights. Your physical energy level will be high and you’ll get a lot done!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Lots of secret activity might take place in the next six weeks. Who is surprised? You’re the most secretive sign of the zodiac. However, this is an indication that it’s possible that someone might be out there working against your best interests. If you suspect this, you’re right.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The next six weeks are an excellent time to formulate goals and pursue them. Ideally, look for ways to achieve your goals by working cooperatively with others. Make their goals your goals or vice versa. Look for a win/win situation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your ambition will be aroused for the next six weeks. If you identify with a project you will work hard to succeed. However, this aroused ambition could put you at odds with bosses, parents and authority figures. Conflict with coworkers might even arise. Stay smooth.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’ll be eager to travel and broaden your horizons both physically and intellectually in the next six weeks. If you can blow town, great. If not, study, read books, see films to learn something new. Legal difficulties might be a challenge.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your sex drive will be aroused in the next six weeks. That’s interesting. What’s not so interesting is that you might have disputes with someone about jointly held property, inheritances, loans or money issues. That’s no fun.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer Sting (1951) shares your birthday. You need to be surrounded by beauty and harmony. You are friendly, alert, efficient and always fair. Service to others is your theme this year in terms of responsibilities to family as well as to yourself. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource. Invest in the relationships that you value. Tap into your personal creativity and hobbies.
