For Tuesday, Oct. 8

This year you need to use self-discipline in order to achieve what you want professionally and financially. If you are single, your appeal is obvious. If you are attached, the two of you will spend many happy hours together discussing the world, your family or whatever else appeals to you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
