Happy birthday for Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2007: You have direction, strength and determination. Funnel this energy into your personal life or your investments. In some manner, you consider work a distraction from the many other rewarding areas of your life. How lucky you are to have a full life and not be a workaholic. At times you might be hard on yourself, demanding more. Recognize when you need to cut the critical attitude. If you are single, you develop a unique distaste for being alone. As a result, a relationship might become more important than in the past. Check out new people with care, as someone might not be everything he or she says. If attached, do more as a couple. Capricorn can be demanding.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ““““ Take charge and understand what makes you tick. Tempers flare when you least expect it, yours included. Communication offers a partner’s ideas as well as his or her frustration.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) “““““ Your ability to read between the lines might separate you from others. Creativity might help you come up with solutions, but you might not feel that you are flowing. A little aggravation goes far in opening up your ingenuity.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) “““““ Work as a team. Deal with someone directly. Creativity emerges when dealing with your high energy and a key person’s ideas. Curb spending and honor your feelings. Make that extra effort toward a partner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ““““ Others pull the strings, and once more you go along for the ride. You might be quite irritable or uptight. A child or situation helps you detach and come up with answers.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ““““ All work and no play proves to be a most unhealthy blend. The real issue is how to bypass this situation and return to your old ways. Recognize that our innate style is sometimes the best for us.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “““““ Revise your thinking once, twice, as many times as necessary. Being able to flow and not get locked into an idea could easily prove to be a strength, despite how a boss or associate views this unpredictability.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “““ Stay close to basics – emotionally, intellectually and physically. Right now avant-garde behavior and thought won’t work. If you walk the conservative path, you will like the end results. In fact, praise will head your way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ““““ Your words have implications. Actually, what you say always does, but right now you see results more easily. Don’t fear to plunge ahead in order to find solutions and ideas. You could be quite stunned by news.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ““““ You might want to rethink your ideas, especially if present activity is causing a hole in your wallet. You have what it takes to say no to this trend and turn it around.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ““““ Your high energy points to positive and dynamic changes. Perhaps you don’t realize the power and strength of your thoughts, especially if you detach. Open up to possibilities that, up till now, have not been an option.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ““ Knowing when to step back might be more important than taking action. If you observe more, you will notice a new trend building. Design an outlet for stress and frustration, if you don’t already have one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ““““ Zero in on what you want and refuse to back down or settle for less. If you feel frustrated, push yourself to find solutions. You have imagination and intelligence on your team. Answers are forthcoming.
