Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012: This year you express an unusual amount of serenity and caring. You will do whatever you need to do in order to keep the peace. You still could have a tendency to be overserious. That, too, will pass. You are willing to adapt and change, especially with family members and roommates. If single, a friendship could play a strong role in your romantic life. If attached, your partnerships take a higher priority than in the past, particularly those involved with financial matters. Taurus seems to connect with you on an unusually deep level. A baby born today has a sun in Libra and a moon in Taurus.
