Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009: This year, you often juggle many different people or ideas. You see value in opposing ideas. If single, the world is your oyster, and you certainly can apply that slogan to your love life. If attached, the two of you might be very different, and you need to learn to respect your differences. Aries can be challenging.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• You seem to resonate with energy and enthusiasm. You might wonder when enough is enough when dealing with a boss. How you approach this person might depend on your mood.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) •• Know when to pull back and center yourself. You don’t always need to take action. In fact, this might be an excellent time to pull back and rethink an issue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Your sense of well-being and understanding comes out in a big way. You might not have all the solutions, but you certainly step up to the plate.
