Georgia Nicols horoscopes for October 29

ALL SIGNS MOON ALERT: We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Squabbles about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances and anything to do with whatever you own jointly with others (including debt) are likely today. This is not a good day to discuss these subjects. People will be aggressive and competitive. (Sidestep this stuff.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Have you ever noticed how hard it is to keep your shirt on when you're trying to get something off your chest? (No doubt, you will experience this today.) Conversations with partners and family members could become testy, competitive and in your face. Maintain your cool.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Conflict with co-workers, employers or clients is highly likely today. Obviously, this does not improve your job scene. Instead, practice patience. Difficulties with pets and even concerns about your health could arise. Sheesh!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today, it might be too difficult to come up with the scratch for an entertaining event you want to pursue, which is probably too expensive. Similarly, expenses related to children could be just too much. It was ever thus. Dicey day for financial speculation in general.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Quarrels with family members or disputes about domestic matters, especially if parents are in the picture, could arise today. In fact, they have probably been brewing. George Burns was right. Happiness is having a warm, caring, loving family in another city.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone could be working against your best interests behind your back. This could be a fact, or it could be a suspicion. Unfortunately, it's probably a fact. Therefore, make sure you know what you're doing before you boldly go where no man has gone before.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Conflict in group situations is likely today. This could arise with a casual acquaintance, or within a committee, a classroom or a large social gathering. Perhaps someone is competitive with you? Or are they threatened with your ability or your agenda? Who knows?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid conflict with authority figures today. This will only be a headache. Steer clear of contentious issues with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs, including the police. It's far too easy for people to butt heads today. Let's all be happy together in our interconnected binary universe. Eh wot?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid heated discussions about politics, religion and racial issues. Don't even go there. In fact, if you work in higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law -- you are advised to tiptoe through your day. Be tolerant and patient with others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Disputes about shared property might come to a head today. Similarly, disputes about insurance matters, inheritances, debt situations and anything you share with someone else will be difficult to resolve. Therefore, avoid these -- just for today!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You seem to be at odds with partners, friends and authority figures today. Someone might resent the attention you're getting from others because you are in the limelight, and you are looking good! Since the spotlight is on you, be full of diplomacy, grace and charm. There is no upside to losing your temper in public.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't expect too much from others at work today or you will be disappointed. If you're in the least demanding ("Demanding? This is the bottom line basic stuff!") others will rise against you, snarling with displeasure. Who wants this? Not you. Just go with the flow and postpone your comments for another day.

IF OCT. 29 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor Richard Dreyfus (1947) shares your birthday today, You have a keen interest in the society around you. Even though you have an analytical mind, you're full of original, fresh ideas! Many of you can become an expert in your field. Privately, you're secretive. Warm family relations matter to you. After dealing with a major change this year, next year will be a lovely time for enjoying relationships and social occasions.
