Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011: You have the unique opportunity of choosing a new beginning or continuing on your present path. The new direction could completely change your life and prove to be quite rewarding, but it also could be a lot of work, as fall 2012 could reveal. If single, you could meet someone quite special. If attached, expect to give as much as you take this year. You will tend to be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. You can count on a fellow Scorpio. A baby born today has a Sun and Moon in Scorpio if born after 8:08 a.m. Pacific time. Before that time, the Moon is in Libra.
