For Friday, Oct. 3:

You are unusually direct this year, and you know precisely what you want. Sometimes, when you have a knee-jerk reaction, you discover that the circumstances were not what you thought. You might find that your spending is a little out of control this year, should you be spontaneous in your dating life. If you are attached, you could take a lot of risks emotionally, and how your partner reacts depends on your communication. Sagittarius opens up to you.
