Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A co-worker might seek you out to get your advice or your sympathetic support for a problem. In turn, you might be in this position and seek out the advice of someone as well. Either way, your interactions with others at work are pleasant, gentle and helpful.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re in touch with your muse, which is why this is a great day for those of you who work in the arts, the entertainment world or even the hospitality industry. You see ways to make things look better and feel better!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a good day to have a family discussion or talk with Mom or a female relative because all parties will be mutually sympathetic and cooperative. It’s the kind of day where you instinctively know what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedgies.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might spend time day- dreaming or being lost in flights of fantasy, which is totally OK. Call it a mental health day. We all need this from time to time. (I’m a big daydreamer and I talk to myself when no one’s around. It’s pa- thetic.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Because you feel sympathetic to the wants and needs of others, you might make a financial decision that you later regret. Make sure you know what you’re doing. It’s OK to have your head in the clouds but keep your feet on the ground. If shopping, think twice about buying something impossibly elegant and luxurious.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) The Moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler Neptune. That’s why you feel so warm, kind, and sympathetic to everyone. This planetary arrangement can also make you more psychic than usual, which means you should trust your hunches. (Write down your dreams?)
Aries (March 21-April 19) Secrets or something mystical will intrigue you. Anything going on behind the scenes will catch your interest. In turn, you might choose to play your cards very close to your heaving bosom. It’s one of those days. (Very hush-hush.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20) You feel kindly disposed to a fe- male acquaintance. If you can help this person, you will. You might even view this person in idealistic terms. Possibly, someone in a group will say something that inspires you to help others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) A boss or parent might be sympa- thetic and helpful. Or conversely, you might be the person who ap- proaches someone in authority asking them to be sympathetic and helpful. Either way, let us hope that people you have to deal with are sympathetic and helpful.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, this is the perfect day to give yourself the chance to enjoy beautiful things and places. Visit art galleries, museums, fas- cinating boutiques and pristine parks. Even beautiful ideas will be intriguing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you divide or share something with someone you will be more than fair because you feel sympathetic. This is certainly admirable; nevertheless, you have to also be fair to yourself. Don’t give away the farm because you count, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is the perfect day to mend bro- ken fences or have a discussion with a close friend or partner about something that was a problem in the past. You will find that every- one is willing to settle in a reasonable, mutually sympathetic way. (If not, completely write them off.)
