Aries: If it’s a choice between “fight or flight,” consider opting for flight. Arguing with someone who might not see your perspective is both pointless and frustrating. You may achieve more by being a team player rather than focusing solely on yourself.

Taurus: Keep your inner compass nearby. You might find yourself choosing between right and wrong, or between generosity and putting your needs first. Helping others feels nice but consider doing so after you are are covered.

Gemini: Although you tend to look on the bright side, it might be wise to look at the other side sometimes. Optimistic promises without the facts or ability to follow through could interrupt your flow. Keep your finances safeguarded today.

Cancer: Too many rumors going around could mean that someone is testing the dependability of others. Use your best judgement to decide who you should listen to. Be sure you have accurate data.

Leo: Even the smallest crack has the potential to bring down the strongest foundation. You may feel helpless when dealing with a challenging new project or team member. Use your cleverness to find a vulnerability that could open the door.

Virgo: You can’t have it both ways. Situations beyond your control might leave you feeling powerless and undervalued. You may not gain someone’s loyalty or ensure a successful collaboration without offering something in return.

Libra: Even though demands on your schedule may multiply, remember to show love and appreciation to the people who support you. These connections give you the strength to keep going, so let them know just how important they are.

Scorpio: More of a project may fall in your lap than expected. Make sure you have relevant ideas for every significant step so that surprises won’t throw you off. Overcoming obstacles may prove you are ready for bigger responsibilities.

Sagittarius: Take in the full view. You might not be able to see both sides if you’re looking at something that appears to be one dimensional at first glance. Just remember that the other perspective exists even when you cannot see it now.

Capricorn: You might feel overwhelmed by the endless list of decisions to be made. Like the journey of a thousand miles, take that first step and it could be easier to make the second decision.

Aquarius: Look for someone with skin in the game to help you evaluate a current situation. You might be too close to see all the sides or to weigh the risks against the rewards.

Pisces: You might think you understand how someone feels, but you could be mistaken. When it comes to love and money, your imagination might clash with reality. It may be best to delay important decisions and conversations.

If Oct. 2 is your birthday: During the next two weeks someone might make a few of your dreams come true. Be inspired to let your mind soar into the realms of imagination and come up with some outstanding ideas. Let common sense rule in November even if it may be tempting to be distracted by emotional confusion. In the second half of December and early January your cleverness may be at a peak. Improving your bank balance and upgrading your profits might be a priority. You may opt out of the social scene to create a game plan that might include end of year strategies. Late January might be a good time for a vacation or to connect with a romantic partner for a fun night out or adventure.
