Happy birthday for Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2005:

You discover that your efforts are sometimes futile, but not because of a lack of imagination or determination on your part. This year, your endurance might be tested more than in the past. Focusing on your long-term goals will help you move through different situations. Creativity is your strong suit, and as a result, your income will increase as long as you are not changing fields or overspending. If you are single, you might be a bit possessive when you hook up with a special person. Often, this person could go on a tirade. That behavior has to do with him or her, not you. If you are attached, be easygoing with your partner. He or she might want to redefine parts of your relationship. Scorpio helps you make money.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Don’t buck the trends. Key discussions today will probably need to happen again. You might only be adding to your frustration. Investigate but take no major actions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ¡ö¡ö ¨C Though you have lots of energy, you still might need to redo a project or anything you do right now. Perhaps you could relax or get some exercise. Play it low-key for now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C You are up for a key talk, be it about a personal matter or a creative project. Though you are a sign that communicates well, you will have to repeat key discussions right now. Don’t assume that someone is getting the gist of your message.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C If you want to handle a domestic or investment situation, postpone it for a day. You might not hit a home run right now, but instead get thrown out of the game.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C You might think you are quite direct and concise, and you might be. The problem might be your audience and their lack of ability to concentrate right now. Instead, return calls; send out memos; catch up on errands.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ¡ö¡ö ¨C Be careful with any decisions, situations or actions that could impact your finances. Postpone anything having to do with this segment of your life, if you can. Later in the day, make calls and schedule a get-together.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Sometimes your words fall on deaf ears. Such is the case now. Even if someone shakes his head as if he understands or is in agreement, don’t count on not having to address the issue again.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ¡ö¡ö ¨C The lower your profile, the better off you are right now. You might hit a logjam if you try to move a situation or project ahead. Even if it looks like you made progress, you might have a backfire later. Relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Use the daytime to catch up on news or to network. You might have some spare energy that you want to plug into a project. Careful because you could make a mistake or trip up. Focus on others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Your leadership skills can only be enhanced by your creativity. The problem lies in that others simply don’t get it right now. Relax and take it easy. Do as much as you can by yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Taking an overview might be tough with someone, or an issue might invade your thoughts. Still, you can do it. Imagine what it would be like to be the other person involved. Empathy and understanding will save the day.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö ¨C Work with others, knowing that anything can change, even if you think you have reached a solid decision. Don’t worry, but try to absorb as much as you can about where others are coming from.
