Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 3. 2002. Those with birthdays today:

Make efforts toward friends early in the year. At times you will find a need to become reclusive. Travel could be highlighted all year, but it proves far more beneficial during fall and winter. Getting a perspective will help you make choices. If you are single, the many interesting people who enter your life could easily overwhelm you. Make sure your choice is emotionally available. If attached, disappear with a loved one often. VIRGO understands.
