Horoscope: Oct. 2

Aries (March 21-April 19): Success is not about wearing the right jacket. It’s about having the right frame of mind.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You don’t mind deferring to the judgment of your teachers as a sign of respect, but the respect has to go both ways.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You keep adding layers of sophistication to your personality. You will find common ground with people from all walks of life.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): A project will take off like a runaway train. Once the plan is in motion, there is very little you will be able to do to stop progress.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There is a niche you have yet to explore — a calling that keeps coming back to you in different stages of your life. Give it some thought.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will have the courage to ask truthful questions about your work. Study the answers you get.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The good you do for others will come back to you immediately.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Since you can’t stand being rejected, you’ll extend the energy of acceptance to those you meet.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Long ago, you signed up for a difficult task. Now you feel like doing anything but that task. Stop resisting, and fall into line.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The lucky break will strike like lightning, but it can’t hit you unless you’re out in the storm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There are many ways in which you can live as though you have already achieved the goal. It’s an attitude more than anything else.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It will be appropriate to tell others about your accomplishments.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 2): You’ll find new and lucrative ways to use your talents. Additions to your family keep you busy doing interesting things in December. Your confidence grows because of the risks you take in June. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 5, 14, 39 and 19.
