CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY
Brett Favre turns 42 on Monday. The former NFL quarterback has an oustanding record that includes three consecutive MVP titles and a Super Bowl ring. We kind of forgot all that during his sexting scandal with Gameday host Jenn Sterger. Images of Favre’s private parts leaked to the media, but he’s always denied sending such picture messages. Major fumble.

THIS WEEK
The sun conjoins Saturn in Libra, clarifying the limits of relationships. Such reality checks can be unpleasant, but romance can’t last without work and realism. Work on it!
……………………
LIBRA Sep 23-Oct 22
Sex and money are likely to come up. The argument would be over money; sex could be the resolution. Either way, stay focused on what’s important and where your partner ranks.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Keep your attention on your goals and don’t worry about the attention. Opportunities for love, or a rocking facsimile, are coming up. If you got love, get rocking.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 20
Boundary issues with co-workers need discussion. Financial opportunities approach, but they’ll need hard work and sacrifice. Don’t screw it up by arguing with someone who wants to help.
CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
Friends who challenge you can be the best friends around but pay close attention. Are they for you or against you? Be attentive. Even enemies’ harsh criticisms can prove helpful.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
Showing off your intellect could end up showing your limits. Be open to teachers who can help you toward clearer thinking. An open mind makes you a better partner.
PISCES Feb 19-Mar 19
Hiding feelings of loss and dread makes them worse. Sharing them with your partner increases emotional intimacy. This experience and your strong empathy will soon prove helpful.
ARIES Mar 20-Apr 19
Not getting the attention you want makes you especially cranky. Avoid angry and inappropriate outbursts. Your inspirations need work, but your creative juices are high. Show what you can do.
TAURUS Apr 20-May 20
You might meet that someone special by the end of the week. There’s no predicting true love, but exciting conversations can open doors to meeting amazing new people. Don’t be shy.
GEMINI May 21-Jun 20
Fanciful notions take a dark turn, either delicious or morbid. Stay with it and see where they are coming from. Focus on work. Your colleagues deserve input on new ideas before you take initiative.
CANCER Jun 21-Jul 22
You’re shining at work, although that makes you feel precarious, as a “king of the hill” needing to defend yourself. Acknowledging the effort and support of others will help you feel less lonely.
LEO Jul 23-Aug 22
Taking yourself too seriously is sure to lead to arguments. If you’re really so smart, prove it by taking a class in something entirely new, or read a book that will challenge your mind.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 22
Take conversations to new depths. Someone you’re sweet on may be ready to get more intimate. Raise the subject, but be careful and read the signals carefully to know how.
