Born today, you are never one to lose track of what others are doing around you -- not because of any great, abiding interest in their doings, but rather because you are naturally quite competitive and want to be sure that no one is doing anything that might in some way steal your own thunder or cause you to come in second, third or -- the stars forbid! -- worse. Indeed, perhaps your greatest single motivator is competition, and you can consider anyone a rival, especially when you are working on something you feel is memorable or worthy of attention and acclaim. In fact, the more important the project, the more likely you will be to look over your shoulder to ensure that others aren't coming up behind you. Some may call this paranoia, but you simply call it being realistic.

You are highly capable, and your many talents are sure to pull you in many different directions throughout your lifetime. When it comes to choice, you will almost always opt for that path which is less traveled than others -- again, simply because you want to minimize -- if not eliminate altogether -- the competition.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be unable to forge ahead as anticipated today, so be ready to use the time to adjust both your plan of action and your expectations.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Fitting your behavior into a certain mold may be difficult today. You must be ready to disappoint someone whose opinion matters to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may wish that you had more space in which to work or play today -- and you may have it, actually, by making a small concession to another.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to put your money where your mouth is, for it's important for you to demonstrate to others that you mean what you say today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be facing something that is not likely to budge simply because you want it to. Your will alone is not likely enough to remedy this today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A rival has you second-guessing yourself at this time. Do what you know you can do well, and you can end this cycle and regain confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Help yourself to a piece of what someone else is having today -- literally or figuratively. The risk of overindulgence is very small.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The more options you have, the more satisfied you'll be by day's end. Don't let yourself get stuck because so many are attractive to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are soon to make an important decision that will surely affect others. Give them an idea of what that might be -- today, if you can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Look at your schedule before things heat up and you'll see where you have to make adjustments. Try not to change anything major on the fly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Things may seem to be going exactly as planned today -- which should make you suspect that something is not quite right. Investigate!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you find when searching for something recently lost may be far more valuable than what you're looking for at this time.
