Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013: This year you seem to be more low-key than you have been in many years. You will become much more of an observer in the next 12 months, and you’ll gain more fascinating information about others and yourself as a result. Some of you will become involved in healing work of some kind, while others might enjoy some extra solitude. If single, you could meet someone who could be emotionally unavailable. If attached, the two of you benefit from taking getaways together – just the two of you. You fan the flames of love. Libra reads you cold. A baby born today has a sun in Scorpio and a moon in Virgo if born before 5:22 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Libra.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Defer to others. They will do an even better job because of this expression of confidence. Guide an important matter that surrounds a superior.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • You prefer to be rather docile, unless a situation develops that you feel demands a different response.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Your imagination adds that extra zest to your work and to whatever you touch. You could be irritated beyond your normal limits.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Whether you’re putting out some final Halloween decorations or you’re just happy to get extra R and R, it makes no difference; others could be touchy at the last minute.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • You don’t need to go overboard in order to be noticed. You will do that naturally – just be yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Try a different approach to a heartfelt matter. You will be more willing than you have been in the past to let go and see where the chips may fall.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Try to come to an understanding with someone who has been difficult at best. Your nerves could be fried. Indulge yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You might not be in sync with those around you. Even if you wish you were more playful, you can’t seem to get past your tension and stress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Look to your friends, and make a decision about what would be the best solution for a project. Say “no” if you can’t go along. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. It doesn’t matter what your reasoning might be regarding an issue, you are ready to move forward with a major change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • You will have your mind on other matters – not on ghosts and goblins. An exciting matter could shake up the status quo. Tonight: Get into the spirit of the holiday.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Defer to others, and you might learn a lot about someone else’s thoughts. You will get much more input, and you’ll gain each other’s respect.
