I am also born on the cusp so I get to pick and choose my horoscopes. S'great.
I was also born on the autumnal equinox. I know all the star sign symbols in order, for no discernable reason. Reading horoscopes are a good pastime. Just how VAGUE can you be before it makes no sense?

So you've got a choice between
"Friends of friends could put a dampener on your plans. They may not see the potential in one of your ideas. They might not realize either, but the more obstacles they put in your way, the more determined you are to succeed. In stripping out an area, your imagination could take flight, and although you may need assistance from a professional builder or plumber, you may see a way of improving an area out of all recognition."

--Or --

"As is likely to be the case for a few signs, you could be in property action mode today. Stripping things out and paving way the way for new items is one possibility. Another is that you might visit a place of great history and be intrigued to find out more. Wills, legacies and inheritance could form part of your conversation. A much older person could give you valuable information about an area."

So it's a toss-up between vague, indeterminate old bollocks and waffly horse-shit.

You may turn into a large crow. If you do not have this happen, you will inevitably die.

I suspect you're making that up
Fittingly, the one for Leo, from the same site, is phenomenally gay:
"You could experience one of your 'make a drama' moments. It might suit you to act as though you're playing the lead role in a production. Your authority and ability to hold center-stage could prompt you to behave even more outrageously. This could cause someone older a degree of anguish. At a different level entirely, a key anniversary may need to be acknowledged."

They might as well just put
"only middle-aged women with cat issues and disillusioned benders are going to read this, so we might as well tailor it for total berties"

I suspect you're right
I just hope there's some veracity to the urban legends about one of the other newspaper staff making up some guff one night because the real horoscope writer was off sick, only to find the paper's phone desk beleaguered with calls from people terrified by what their horoscope told them.

(Because I could laugh at these people and feel slightly better about myself)

The fact it's talking about fucking home improvements.

The horoscope writer has clearly taken a backhander from their handyman or plumber friend
