Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 9, 2011: This year, you will learn a lot about yourself, your environment and the people you choose to be around. If single and you meet someone, it will be through your day-to-day life. Don’t push; let it evolve. If attached, drop the criticism and be more accepting. Pisces makes a great associate. A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Make this a special day where you don’t answer to anyone. Taking some much-needed private time is important, not only for you, but also for those around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Listen to news. It might not change your life radically, but it allows new possibilities. Notice what is happening with friends. You just might decide to join in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Be sensitive to what is happening on the home front. You might be wondering what is the best way to assume the lead. You know what you want, and it might be necessary to take the first step.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Break past the obvious, knowing full well what is happening behind the scenes. Your ability to understand stretches your mind and drives you at times. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Let others shine and allow them to make strong choices. You will understand a lot more about the key people in your life if you are less dominant.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Defer to others. That action will eliminate substantial stress, allowing you to be much freer and happier. Think positively. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Share one of your favorite pastimes with a child or loved one. A discussion that ensues in this environment reflects where both of you are coming from. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • The kid in you wants to be let out, and it will be let out no matter what. Why not indulge this inner side and share it with a trusted loved one? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Listen to news with an eye to what this information forces you to handle. Your awareness of your priorities allows you to make the right choices. You could decide to hang close to home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Make calls to those at a distance. You finally have time to catch up on news. Consider making plans to meet up with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Examine why you might not feel secure. Whether this feeling is emotional or it stems from a fiscal situation needs to be determined.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • You are centered and direct. Others respond, perhaps because it is easier but also because they want to. Just be careful with someone you feel could be deferring because of an ulterior motive.
