Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013: This year you achieve many of your key goals. Your strength emerges from an ability to detach and see the big picture. Your empathy increases, and your understanding grows. Some of you will add to these qualities through travel, education or the pleasure of knowing someone who is very evolved. You are likely to broaden your immediate circle of friends and network new acquaintances into your professional life. If single, you could create the type of relationship you desire. If attached, the two of you could become quite an unstoppable force. Virgo is a remarkable example of efficiency. A baby born today has a sun in Scorpio and a moon in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Note the back-and-forth tug between risk-taking and following the status quo. Through understanding your nature, you will take a risk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • A brainstorming session could trigger even more of your high energy. You might decide to pursue an unusual course.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • You might want to hang close to home. Consider making your office more comfortable or try working from home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You naturally stumble upon the right words. Keep the lines of communication open.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Be aware of your spending in a situation that has implications. Listen to your instincts; they will guide you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Take advantage of all your supporters, especially if you want to start a new project. You can do it! Remember that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • The less said, the better. A boss or someone you look up to has a very different image for you, which he or she would like you to fulfill.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Your sense of direction points you to getting feedback and support from others. News from someone at a distance puts a smile on your face.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • Tension builds because others have expectations that you do not want to meet. You could feel stuck.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • If you experience some discomfort with several situations, detach. You must have a favorite way of distancing yourself from trigger issues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Relate to key people directly. You could be delighted by someone’s openness. You might be able to relate far more easily without “in-between” people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Others seem to be unable to contain themselves around you. They keep testing your boundaries.
