Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Oct. 19, 2012: This year you really live life to the max. Be aware of a tendency to overindulge. Your creativity emerges the more relaxed you become. You say what you mean, and you mean what you say. If single, your desirability is clear – even on the most basic level. If attached, you unintentionally could give off mixed signals. Capricorn is very traditional. A baby born today has a sun and moon in Sagittarius if born before 9:41 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Capricorn.
