For Thursday, Oct. 6:

You can be serious and creative at the same time. If you are aware of your objectives and don’t lose sight of them, you will have little problem manifesting your goals. If you are single, your determination could scare some people away. That characteristic is part of you. If you are attached, encourage your sweetie to join you in making a long-term goal a reality. Aquarius can be provocative.
