■ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nice,
not nasty, will get you what you
want. With a little Libra charm
you will be well on your way to

agenda, leading to a parting of
the ways. 4 stars
■ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Choose your battles wisely. If
you can’t win, don't even step
into the ring. There is a lesson to
be learned by being the observer
for a change. Give attention to
what you can enforce and move
forward. 2 stars

■ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Someone may lead you

people you can count on to give
you good advice. Stay in control
