Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010: This year, you move in a new direction, though at times not as quickly as you might like. Know what you need to let go of in order to make your life work. If single, you rethink your priorities and express more interest in others and dating than you have in many years. If attached, the two of you will open up to a new level of understanding if you can pull back from your issues and learn to respect each other more. Aries can be challenging.
