Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012: This year your imagination opens many doors, and the only issue will be which one you would like to go through. The unexpected keeps you alert and excited about life. If single, you have a way about you that draws many people in. Enjoy the process. If attached, a tendency to kiss and make up becomes more important. Both of you understand how vital this is to your relationship. Sagittarius enjoys pulling you out of yourself. A baby born today has a sun and moon in Sagittarius all day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You might not realize how much you trigger certain people in your life, especially as of late. You see beyond the obvious and act accordingly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • Work with a partner directly, and you really might appreciate the experience and its benefits. Pressure builds when a partner or associate pushes you too hard for your own good.
