Aries: Faithfully fulfill the promises you made to yourself and others. Others in your life might have heightened expectations that do not match the reality of a situation, and you might have a few unrealistic ideas yourself. Get grounded.

Taurus: You shouldn’t expect things to stay the same forever. Change may be on the horizon, so consider getting prepared. There’s a chance to ease any growing concerns of your inner circle by laying out a plan to achieve your goals.

Gemini: Focus on the bigger picture. You might ask how you can help the people around you. Whether it is time or money contributing to a cause could be good for moral compass, and could help make you feel good about yourself, too.

Cancer: Admit that there are things you cannot control. You may be too close to see the actual challenge. You could come much closer to achieving your goals if you cooperate and collaborate rather than pushing to get your own way.

Leo: You could be involved in a situation where any attempt at resolution could be seen as interference. It may be wise to let them settle it themselves.

Virgo: You’re not the only one involved in the decisions you are making. Consider discussing your plans with your support system before you make the final call.

Libra: A compromise may need to embody old-school ideals of fair play, integrity, and tolerance. When important decisions must be made, use your best judgment.

Scorpio: Finding the correct answers may take longer than you expected. There might be a limited amount of tardiness you can get away with before someone looks for alternatives. Take the necessary steps to improve your focus and concentration.

Sagittarius: You’ve been working on a challenge for long enough. Your most logical ideas could run into a roadblock or cause you to feel stuck. It may be time to consult outside experts for a possible solution.

Capricorn: You have your own agenda, lofty goals, and a power base, but so does your competition. You might be evenly matched, but all sides must be willing to accept a compromise dictated by higher standards and overall drive for victory.

Aquarius: You may connect with your most reliable advisors and seek their guidance on any troubling issues before taking action.

Pisces: Stay grounded and practical in your plans and actions. Avoid getting lost in a cycle of overthinking or unrealistic strategies, as they might further confuse you.

If Oct. 13 is your birthday: The upcoming two to three weeks may be a pivotal time when you must make wise decisions and choose whether or not to embrace new opportunities. People could be attracted by your charm but may also have oversized expectations. Weigh the strength of your commitments and loyalties carefully. This might not be the time to focus on business strategies or financial gain. A weekend getaway could fulfill your fantasies, or a busy social life could give you a break from monotony.
