Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011: This year you greet change with a smile. Many times you feel pushed by several assertive friends. You are a sign that tries to get along with others, but don’t do it at a cost to yourself. If single, with so many admirers, you will have to choose to maintain that status. If attached, your sweetie appreciates your attention, even though he or she might not say so. Don’t forget the little things. Gemini always intrigues. A baby born today has a Moon in Gemini and a Sun in Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Express an innate, creative energy. You could be seeing a situation much differently right now. Your insights are unusually accurate and right-on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Discuss a new purchase or investment. You are not likely to make a decision today, though you want feedback. You could be sarcastic and touchy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You see a new beginning. Don’t let this opportunity slip away. Know what you want and what you need to do. Don’t hesitate to state your opinions, but also zero in on what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Play it low-key. Remain sensitive to the possibilities on the horizon. The time to act is not yet. Curb a tendency to swallow hurt or anger. You could be overindulging or spending too much as a result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You are a fire sign and demonstrate the spontaneity that is associated with it. You have unusual magnetism and draw. The right words seem to come naturally to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Stay on top of what is going on. Bring a key circle of friends and/or loved ones together. They appreciate you taking time for this happy get-together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Keep reaching out for others, especially a particular person at a distance. A male friend could play a significant role in your plans, even if you find him to be pushy. Know when to gently push back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Tap into your creativity and just flow. Someone might be a little harsh playing devil’s advocate. Don’t take it personally. You can choose to have a very special day, or you could ruin the day by getting upset over a comment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • A family member could get difficult on occasion. Give yourself some space from this person. You already know that he or she will change his or her mind.
