Horoscope: Oct. 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): You may feel comfortable being yourself in all circumstances, but your loved one is not as outgoing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your idea about how to make money will be very different from that of your boss or colleague. Compromise will be lucrative.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): It’s your job to provide reassurance for those around you who need it. You may even be feeling a bit insecure yourself, but being supportive of others will give you confidence.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You need to decide on an exact date in order to make your goal happen. Without a specified date, there will be very little energy behind your actions. Be reasonable in your estimation of time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): As soon as you finish one task, you’ll immediately want to take on the next one.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be prepared to defend your work. When you’re ready to do so, you probably won’t have to.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You know who the VIPs are, in part because people around them treat them like they’re someone special. Surround yourself with people who treat you like you’re someone special.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s not enough to have a talent; you have to master it. It’s the time you put in that matters.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s natural for you to be supportive, and now it’s time to direct your kindness in a proactive way. Create occasions to celebrate your peers.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You keep finding reasons not to do the things on your list. Either that, or you didn’t even make a list today, opting instead to “wing it.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Trust your innate guidance system. You might not know exactly where you’re going or how to get there, but you know people.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll get more than your fair share of attention. Then again, why shouldn’t you be the star? You’ll be given a gift.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 3): This year, you have passion, talent and a supportive team. The combination helps you feel pretty sure of yourself as you move ahead. Your public image gets a boost in November. A new source of income opens up in December. March brings excitement to your family scene. Friends fulfill your wishes in May. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 14, 3, 33, 20 and 1.
