Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011: This year your nurturing qualities emerge. Opportunities appear to be more visible and available to others.

A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Understand that everyone has different needs, and you are no exception. Adapt your environment so you are comfortable at work or at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Communication would flourish if others responded like you. An associate or co-worker could be cold and difficult. Let this situation work itself out. Follow your inner voice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • You might be a little self-indulgent right now, especially as you cannot seem to come up with the right idea. You have a way of solving problems that could be blocked for now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You could be all smiles, but you will see and experience the moods of others. You are not the type that cocoons when in a great mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Know when to back down and approach a situation differently. You could be taken aback by people and events. Take your time, knowing sooner or later solid options will appear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • • Don’t commit to spending more than necessary. Tension could build, as you really might want to join friends but cannot afford their plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Take a stand. You know how to lead, but do others know how to follow? Don’t push beyond your natural limits. Understand what is going on behind the scenes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Reach out for more information. If your instincts tell you that something is missing or a situation doesn’t feel right, trust them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Work with others individually. If you opt for a meeting with more than one person, you could be disappointed. A friendship means a lot to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • No matter what you do or what decisions you make, you simply aren’t feeling like you are working in fifth gear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • Dive into your routine and you will accomplish a lot. Stay on top of a difficult communication, perhaps involving someone at a distance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • You keep making up for others and their slight misjudgments or inability to complete a task. A child or loved one needs your time and attention.
