Horoscope for October 4, 2009

For Sunday, Oct. 4:

Often this year you are pushed into the path opposite your chosen one. Learn to juggle and not get so worried. You often find that plans change, the project changes or the people around you change. Learn to adjust to a flexible status quo. Know when enough is enough. If you are single, you could meet someone out of the blue. Don’t think that this is it until it lasts a year. If you are attached, enjoy the attraction, and don’t get so worried about who is right or wrong. Aries can play devil’s advocate.
