Sometimes you feel that you are always waiting, holding back for something special. But while you hold back, very often the best is offered, then snatched away because you failed to stretch out your hand.
Sun Sign: Libra/Venus

For Librans these people are unusually indecisive and can be irritating to those who have to help them make decisions. In particular the women drive their companions round the bend because they never know what they want. This dark aubergine with the squashy inside gets into a really half baked mush when the temperature rises ever so slightly. She genuinely can't tell if she'd like to go swimming or take in a movie. She has no idea if she'd like an orange ice lolly or a Magnum, or if she can be bothered to pay £1 for the latter. Or if it's silly.
And so it goes. Out to dinner, her companion has to choose, and then she picks at the lobster because she remembers she doesn't like it. The pudding trolley comes along. She can't decide on chocolate cake or the crème brûlée. She has the cake, he has the crème brûlée. She eats his.
It's all born of a desire to please, but this is no way to do it. ‘No, you choose' people are hard work for others. The conventional rôle of the sexes can mask the problem for women. When it comes to men it's more difficult. Male October 20 can't decide between one job or another, often accepts both, much to the irritation of the party he finally lets down. He can't decide whether to holiday in Israel or Edinburgh, both having their own thing going for them. He can't decide whether to make a move on his girlfriend, driving her round the bend and on to further excesses of low necks, green bras and skin-tight trousers.
And out of two or even more girls, he can't decide which one to marry and often ends up proposing to all three or four. This can be the eventual cause of multiple injury to October 20 man, and indeed to the girls involved when they find out what he's been doing, yet again.
The “urge to merge” is very strong in you, and you’re happiest in a lasting intimate relationship. Sensuous, caring, and passionate by nature, you’re capable of loving with total commitment. However, you expect fidelity and devotion in return. You’re sociable, and you enjoy a little harmless flirting from time to time. But what you really want out of life is a loving union with your one true love. You want beauty and order in your life, and you enjoy creating harmonious surroundings for yourself and your partner. Your ideal mate fills your life with poetry and romance.
An idealist in the bedroom and elsewhere, you expect your actual experiences to somehow mirror your intellectual ideal of romantic love. Even though the lovemaking of your dreams and fantasies always seems to be just beyond your reach, you keep on trying. As a result, you’re one of the most sensual and sexually active members of your Sun sign. Eventually you may find that the finest expression of your love comes through the earthy reality of physical union with your beloved.
Beautiful hands are marred by dark spots, called age spots, but they can come quite early in life, brought on by sunbathing, cigarette smoking and car exhaust fumes. They are caused by the pigment lipofuscin within the skin due to free radical damage. Avoid all fried and barbecued foods and over-exposure to motoring. Use a high factor sunscreen when outside. Eat organic fruit and vegetables which are high in antioxidant nutrients such as beta carotene, which destroy free radicals. Pure vitamin E oil can be massaged into the affected area, which may lighten the spots in time. Try Solgar's Advanced Antioxidant Formula, available from health stores.
Your tactile sense is well developed. When you and your lover concentrate on touching each other from head to toe, the caresses turn both of you on.
An exotic feast of unusual foods and interesting wines will appeal to your hedonistic tastes. You respond sensuously to sexy and enticing edible treats strategically placed on each of your bodies.
Sometimes you feel that you are always waiting, holding back for something special. But while you hold back, very often the best is offered, then snatched away because you failed to stretch out your hand.
Although it can take a while for you to reach a decision, once your mind is made up there is very little anyone can do to change it. You may have a difficult time getting started, but you’re no quitter. Once you’ve made that first step, you’ll stick with a project to the bitter end.
