HOROSCOPE
JACQUELINE BIGAR

FORECAST FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Look for positive changes. Your creativity emerges with others, when making plans or even just when taking off on a day trip. You could be pleased by what comes up. Be willing to assume a risk or approach a situation differently. Tonight: Put on some music, no matter what you do. This Week: A lot of responsibility rests on your shoulders. You meet the demands. Relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Work with, not against, key friends and loved ones. The results can only be positive. A parent or someone you look up to could have many ideas, which actually might seem far-out or confusing. Tonight: Go along with plans. This Week: Try to find an expert or two in the next few days. You want to know what you are talking about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and listen to news. You want to hear feedback, though you might not be comfortable with all you hear. Imagine what it might be like to be someone else and walk in that person's footsteps, OK? Tonight: Easy does it. This Week: A partner has a lot to share. Listen. Seek out alternatives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to expect more from someone, but it is best to proceed as if you are the one who has to complete a project. Get feedback from a very important loved one or friend. Tonight: Chat over dinner. This Week: Others want or need to dominate. You lose control with ease.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your imagination might be filling in the gaps, only to discover that someone has a very different vision of the possibilities. Listen more, and take a leap of faith. You discover that others are responsive to trust. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow. This Week: Get as much done as you can by Wednesday. You want to socialize or, excuse me, "network" for the remainder of the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Entertain at home. A favorite sport or pastime intrigues someone close. Why not share? It might take time for him or her to understand all the loops. Your home life needs the highest priority -- for now. Tonight: Close to home. This Week: Creativity spouts from you. Funnel some of your ingenuity into your daily life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Start up talks, and share more of yourself. You could be quite indulgent with a family member. He or she needs your time and attention. Nearly anything can happen if you let it. Tonight: At your favorite spot. This Week: Stay home if you want. Work from home if you can. You might not want to buckle down just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Treat another to a fun day where he or she can escape and let go of recent tension. Possessiveness earmarks an interaction. You are ahead of your game. Trust yourself, as your instincts are right on. Tonight: Fun and spending can be separated! This Week: Investigate possibilities. Ask questions. Schedule meetings. By Wednesday, you will need time to think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Act as if the world is your oyster, and at least for a little while, this might happen. Relax and enjoy yourself with others. Your company might be requested by several people. Tonight: Yap up a storm. This Week: Take a hard look at your budget. Find ways of cutting expenses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take your time making decisions. You could feel like someone might not be stating the complete story. It is most likely you are right. Investigate possibilities rather than randomly agreeing. Tonight: Get a good night's sleep. This Week: Your popularity blooms Monday. Use your energy well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Whatever you decide -- be it plans and/or company -- fits the moment. You have the ability to grow and evolve in a new direction. Share a dream that remains very important. Verbalizing it is the first step to success. Tonight: Where your friends are. This Week: Lay back until Wednesday, when you feel you must act.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to rethink plans by deferring to a boss or someone you really look up to. This person enjoys your company more than you realize. Could you be confused about what is expected? Tonight: Could be late. This Week: Zero in on what you want quickly. Others play a big role in achieving a goal.
