Caution is still the watchword as you
move closer toward a decision about
a new situation. If you act too fast,

LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) A legal matter you hoped could
fi nally be settled could be a pesky

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Partnerships -- personal or

a secret that could answer some
questions you’ve wondered about
