For Tuesday, Oct. 7:

You drive a hard bargain once you decide that you must have what you want. Focus on security, investments and family this year. Understanding takes you to a new level in a partnership, if attached. If single, you will want to find someone you feel comfortable with during the next year. Capricorn could rain on your parade.

¢¢¢¢ You could be pushing too hard, and others react. Give everyone space to make important key decisions. Investigate possibilities with a smile and enthusiasm. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Read between the lines. You could be shocked by what comes up from out of the blue. The issue is sorting through the viable options. Tonight: Find people in the know while debating an issue.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want to slow down a bit. The possibility remains that, as good as everything looks, you still might hit a snafu now or down the line. Tonight: Easy does it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Defer to others, as you have little to no choice. In the long run, try making this seesaw effect positive. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Slow down, and realize how confused someone might be. You might want to not push quite so hard with someone you value. Tonight: Pull your body and your mind away from “work.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want to rethink a decision and not cause yourself a problem. Sometimes your imagination can take you down a very wild and different path. Tonight: Let the child in you out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ Your innate unpredictability points you down a new path. Investigate news with a positive eye, and be willing to join in. Tonight: Where there are people.
