Sept. 29: Your daily horoscope - The Globe and Mail

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

You have become a little too rigid in your thinking of late and what happens over the next few months will force you to look again at some of the beliefs on which your worldview is based. There is always something new to learn.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you see something you desire today just reach out and take it. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign of Libra guarantees that someone will try to stop you but you're an Aries, you always win. Be fast and be first.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

New methods and new routines are not an option, they are a must. If you don't keep up with the latest developments in your work and creative activities you will get left behind. Move with the times or time will pass you by.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Everything seems to be going right for you now without much of an effort on your part. Which is great but don't take too much for granted. Challenges and setbacks are a fact of life, so be ready for them each and every day.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Upheavals in the domestic sphere are likely now but if you take them in your stride and refuse to get angry you will come through unscathed. Don't try so hard to please other people - it's their job to please you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you need to go back on a promise or in some other way let a friend down today then do it quickly and get it over with. They won't, of course, be happy but you can and you will make it up to them later.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Ignore what everyone else says you should be doing and do what feels right to you. While Mercury remains in your sign you are more likely than they are to see your situation clearly. See it, then act on it.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Play to your strengths today and let other people conform to what you want to do. This is your time of the year and you really don't have to change your outlook or your way of doing things in any way at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Is your mind clear? Do you know what needs to be done? These are important questions and until you have answered them fully you would be wise to hold back from taking the initiative. You don't have to do everything now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You may be tempted to get involved in a friend's private affairs but before you go sticking your nose in you might like to consider what their reaction is likely to be. Will you be helping a friend or losing a friend?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You are determined to prove you have what it takes - yes, even more so than normal. You are so fired up with ambition that you won't let anything stand in your way. Hold on to that attitude as long as you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

A touch of ruthlessness, both with yourself and with other people, may be needed today, especially if you find yourself in a situation where conditions make it difficult to get moving. Do whatever is necessary to kick-start the day.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You don't have to do things the way they have always been done. You don't have to tread the same path as everyone else. Life is yours to do with as you wish, so make a wish and follow your dream.
