Horoscope for Oct. 2

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***** You gain new perspectives quickly. You demonstrate unusual flexibility. You have a way about you that appeals to associates, friends and family - as long as you are yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *** Be more visual in your thinking. Your creativity might not be so strong if you try to force yourself through a problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) **** Listen to a partner's or loved one's suggestion. His or her delightful words encourage your mind to wander.

LEO (July 23- Aug. 22) **** Others look to you to take the lead. You naturally enjoy yourself with even the most intense or negative people in your life. It appears that your mood is contagious.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** Reach out for new information and different ways of seeing a situation. If you can come up with several approaches, it could turn out far better than you'd thought possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **** Deal with a change in a partner directly. This person has become unusually verbose or relaxed. This could be a good sign.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) **** Others might be unusually difficult and touchy, but your persistence wins the day. Try not to challenge someone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) **** Stay level. Understand what has to be accomplished. You might find it difficult to home in on what is happening. Be careful using mechanical objects and driving.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** Your creativity and determination prove to be unfamiliar benefits. Be willing to walk away from your comfort zone and look past restrictions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) **** If you have a hankering to stay home, do. If you work, consider working from home. Express your caring to a loved one - it's always is nice to get a hug.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***** You tend to find the right words at the right time. Touch base with a neighbor or relative. This tie easily can be neglected.
