LIBRA You’re the picture of grace and gumption all rolled up in one, which gives you the power to bend people to your will without breaking them. You’re the universe’s darling right now, so enjoy and take full advantage of this time. Go ahead and grab that brass ring with both hands and no net. The risk will be well worth it.

SCORPIO At the beginning of the month, patience is a virtue.
Rely on your hunches; they’ll lead you in the right direction. Relax, get a facial, eat right, because by the end of the month and way into the next—bang! zoom!—your world will be off the hook with an avalanche of social activities, golden opportunities, and passionate rendezvous.

SAGITTARIUS Whether it’s a broken nail or a broken spirit, you have what it takes to mend it. But don’t get so caught up in being Bobbi the Builder that you neglect your social life. It harks and indulging it will guarantee delicious serendipity. Single? Circle the 20th on your calendar; you just might meet Mr. Never Been So Friggin’ Right.

YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Wonder Woman
CAPRICORN Do you know where you’re going to? Besides being the chorus of a cheesy ’70s prom-theme mainstay, it’s also a question you’ve been asking yourself a lot lately. Take stock in all that you have accomplished this year and make sure you’re traveling along the road that leads to everywhere you want to be.

YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Rosie the Riveter
AQUARIUS If you’ve always wanted to learn how to knit, crochet, embroider, etc., strike now while the sector of your brain that can best wrap itself around such activities is hot. Applying your newfound endeavor to a charitable effort will make you feel even better. If this good feeling ebbs toward the end of the month, seek hugs not drugs.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 29, 30
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 15, 16
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Clara Barton
PISCES Is your fall wardrobe stuck on black, black, and more black? Hit the Columbus Day sales and start your own sartorial revolution. And if your body is trapped in flab and fat, you’re in the best frame of mind to take up yoga—or any other uncharted exercise regimen. As the new you begins to emerge, you may catch the eye of a special someone who can take your personal evolution even further.

ARIES All the lonely people who just ain’t feeling the love are standing nowhere near the sunshine of your heart, which you’re boldly wearing on your sleeve. Not to say that you’ll be anyone’s doormat; in fact, you’ll be quick with the kiss-off to those who try to take advantage of your suddenly sunny nature. Nor is your radiance shallow: You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the depth of your feelings, especially for your significant other.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 6, 7
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 20, 21
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Cupid
TAURUS “Can we talk?” will be your three favorite words this month, much to the dismay of those closest to you. But they needn’t fret; you’ll be able to express what’s on your mind without fear of tear or tantrum. If you need to clear the air with your boss, now’s the best time to do so. You might even get a raise afterward, which will lead to two more of your favorite words: shopping spree.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 8, 9
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 23, 24
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Joan Rivers
GEMINI If you think donning a neon pink boa best expresses the inner you, let those feathers fly. Problem is, you may not be able to gauge the appropriate time when you should wear your newly adored accessory. Hint: out for a night on the town, yes; on the job, no. Besides, you wouldn’t want to draw attention to the fact that your mind is on anything but work.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 10, 11
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 25, 26
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Marilyn Monroe
CANCER The one topic that’s almost always top of your mind—family—will become even more so. With whom better can you feel comfortable enough to have a grand ol’ time even when you’re wearing not a stitch of makeup, ratty old sweat pants, and fuzzy rabbit slippers? You might be so at home with your clan that you’ll turn absolutely prankish. Just make sure your tomfoolery doesn’t crush any of your loved ones’ toes.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 12, 13, 14
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 27, 28
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Mother Goose
LEO Violent verbal storms may erupt from every conceivable point on the horizon, shaking the faith you have in certain close relationships. No matter how strong the urge to turn tail and run might be, wait it out for a few weeks. Once the clouds part, you’ll be better able to determine who’s in and who’s out.
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT: October 15, 16
STICK TO THE SHADOWS: October 29, 30
YOU’LL BE THE BELLE OF THE HALLOWEEN BALL AS: Catwoman
VIRGO The number of Manolo Blahniks in your closet does not reflect your absolute worth as an individual. And don’t delude yourself into believing that a credit card binge of Imelda Marcos proportions at Saks will soothe your wounded sense of self. Just think of the financial hangover that’ll be waiting for you at month’s end, then head to DSW or Zappos instead.

Birthday Girl: Ashlee Simpson (October 3)
Anything that smacks of new is an irresistible magnet to you. If the cutting edge is where you love to be, then the pigeonhole is where you loathe to be. You’re not just Jessica’s sister, you’re not just a brunette, you’re not just a blonde, you’re not just a pop princess, you’re not just a punk princess. So it’s not surprising that you’ve decided to stretch yourself by taking on the role of Roxie Hart in the London production of Chicago.
But as you steamroll along the path to success, hate to get biblical on you, you must remember this: For what shall it profit a girl if she gain the world yet lose her soul?
