Libra
Born between: Sep 23rd - Oct 22nd
Convincing and charming are the best characteristics of someone born under the Libra star sign. When they overcome shyness those with the Libra sign are great debaters who will always share credit for their wins.
Life has a few surprises in store for you today, especially if you're trying to keep something under wraps. You could get so worked up that you accidentally blurt out the very thing you were hoping to keep secret, or suddenly have the urge to spill the beans to someone. If you're out shopping you might be tempted to buy something unusual on the spur of the moment. A fascinating stranger may pursue you tonight. Auspicious colours are pale rose and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 8 and 9.
You're in the mood to do some shopping today, so that's a good excuse to investigate the January sales. It's a great day for tracking down bargains with a domestic or family theme, so snap up some children's clothes or some household equipment at a knock-down price. You'll also get a kick out of being with some of your nearest and dearest. Beneficial colours are blueberry and cream. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
Jupiter's move to Aquarius improves your lovelife, brings investment opportunities and creates happier relations with children. Speculative opportunities present themselves, as 2009 is a year of excellent potential, even though partners may behave somewhat erratically from time to time. Forge ahead with confidence, but remember not to be over-confident. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Read more on Jupiter in Aquarius. Beneficial colours are apricot and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
It's time for some straight talking. You won't have much patience if you suspect someone of shilly-shallying or trying to fudge the issue, and you'll take delight in picking plenty of holes in their arguments. Your brain is razor-sharp, but do your best to resist the temptation to cross-question others as though you're in a court of law. Advantageous colours are pale green and coppery red. Lucky numbers are 7 and 22.
Maybe you've spent too much time cooped up at home over the past few days, or had too much family togetherness, but things tend to become rather frazzled today. It is tempting to fly off the handle, especially if you think someone is getting at you, but try not to make mountains out of molehills. You need to let off steam, but you also need to know where to draw the line. An interest in life's mysteries begins to come forward. Beneficial colours are mauve and white. Lucky numbers are 7 and 8.
You're happiest when left to your own devices, today. There are certain tasks that you need to get on with, and you'll appreciate being allowed to tackle them in private. At some point, you could have a serious conversation with someone much older than you, or you might confide in someone you respect and trust. If an elderly relative lives on their own, give them a ring or visit them because they'll appreciate it. Positive colours are azure and red garnet. Lucky numbers are 6 and 12.
You start 2009 with a lot of emotional intensity, Libra. A romantic frisson is in the wind, but your thoughts keep straying to the past, which makes you rather reflective and withdrawn. Today you'll be happiest if you can spend some time by yourself, or with a few very special people, rather than have to face hordes of party-goers. You'll also enjoy looking through keepsakes and old photos. Positive colours are champagne and sea green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 23.
