A complex relationship scenario prevails, with many twists and turns to thicken the plot. Much as you prefer to keep things direct and uncomplicated, go with the erratic flow for now.

Usually canny in money matters, you're tempted to throw
caution to the winds. Big risks and gambles tempt you from the 1-4th. Try to minimize losses by checking the backgrounds of all players. You are lucky in love, though.

leo july 23-aug 23
You tire of being almost famous. Past ambitions come to the fore, but now what? By the 11th it becomes abundantly clear it's who you know that counts. Get out and mingle, wherever and whenever the opportunity arises. Keep your words and actions in strict accord around the 22nd.

Alicia Silverstone - Libra, born October 4, 1976

Alicia never seemed to fit the Libra stereotype of demure beauty queen. Blame it on the planet Pluto, which features strongly in her chart, helping her pack more punch. It also bestows quirky, intense sex appeal. It was her nubile charisma, after all, that landed her that first role in 1993's The Crush, and in later music videos. But this planet also helps her hold back from the crowd. About Hollywood, she was once quoted as saying: "I don't trust anyone here." Those who know her find she is about as loyal a friend as anyone could find, and a fierce animal rights lobbyist. But Alicia does have one nice-girl Libra tendency: she won't do nude scenes.

libra sept 24-oct 23
That birthday feeling lasts all month. You're full of surprises from the 2-6th, and your creative solutions meet with approval. Go ahead - ask for a raise.

scorpio oct 24-nov 22
The mood shifts dramatically on the 3rd. Machiavellian plots and back-stabbing rule your professional and private lives. Mostly you succeed in bucking the trend, but you may ruffle a few feathers. From the 12-17th you're more social than usual. The final week of October finds you feeling inspired in many ways.

sagittarius nov 23-dec 21
You're in a philosophical frame of mind as the month begins. All in all, when you contemplate the meaning of your life, you like what you see. Prospects are good for finding someone special on the same wavelength. Mid-month looks most promising for shooting a few love scenes on location. After the 18th, call in a few favors. Also consider cleaning up old debts. You're a key negotiator late in the month, a position you can also profit from.

capricorn dec 22-jan 20
Capricorns have a lot of get up and go. You take this quite literally early this month. Some of your autumn wanderings could include a pleasantly romantic side trip or two. Get any business shmoozing out of the way before the 19th. You're at your most effective then and several contacts prove fruitful. For the rest of the month, the pull between love and responsibility tugs at your heart. Remember: work really isn't everything.

aquarius jan 21-feb 18
You leave a higher-up absolutely bedazzled with your acumen around the 7th. Capitalize
on your enchanting ways and ask for what's due you. Around the 15th, you get a reminder to be less laissez-faire in your financial habits. Be prepared to make some cutbacks then. By the 22nd, you're ready to sit in the director's chair.

pisces feb 19-march 20
You see hearts and flowers everywhere as the month begins. Bonus: someone goes out
of their way to express tender sentiments. Third party jealousy may complicate the plot around the 5th, though. Around the 13th, you're caught in a power struggle at work. You manage to dodge most of the flak, and re-establish the peace. Expect a few snags in communications after that. Distant interests, things you order from afar, are especially
affected.
