Step outside your comfort zone and push yourself to initiate the changes necessary to reach your dreams, hopes and wishes. Procrastinating will leave you feeling empty-handed. Opportunity is apparent; stop pontificating and start the ball rolling.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Consider unique ways to use your skills and boost your qualifications. Adapt to suit what’s trending and network to ensure you market what you have to offer to the right people.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Put your thinking cap on and learn all you can. The research you do will lead to exciting connections and improve your lifestyle. An opportunity is helpful only if it’s something you need.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Get out and mingle, but don’t believe everything you hear. Someone you talk to will embellish information to hold your interest. Question everything and verify information before you pass it along.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look for new ways to express yourself and utilize your qualifications. Attend functions that encourage interactions with experts and those heading in a similar direction as you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Refuse to let outside influences disrupt your plans or push you in a direction you don’t care to go. Utilize your voice and act to maintain balance and stay on course until you reach your objective.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Stop short of going overboard financially, emotionally or physically. It’s best to bide your time, plan carefully and use what you already have rather than trying to reinvent something. Do what’s best for you.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Can you keep a secret? Wait to reveal your plans until everything is nailed down and ready. Don’t allow any room for interference or criticism. Work alone if necessary.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Participate in group activities and collaborate with people you find stimulating and proactive. The future looks bright if you are ready to adapt to the changes happening around you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Don’t share your secrets, intentions or personal information. An offer may tempt you, but beware of scammers eager to take advantage of you. Focus on what you do best and finish what you start.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Explore the possibilities and turn a pastime that brings you joy into a lucrative sideline. Look into certification if that is what it takes to implement one of your passions or outlets into your daily routine.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Be careful what you wish for. A change may entice you, but do your due diligence before you take a different path. Walk away from anyone using emotional manipulation to get you to buy into their scheme.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before indulging in something, determine how much it will cost and whether your budget can withstand the pressure. A change of plans can benefit you if it gives you an excuse to walk away from a situation.
