Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 2, 2003. Those with birthdays today: Use your intuition, and you’ll come out way ahead. Sometimes a boss or some other authority figure rains on your parade. If you are single, you could manifest a tendency to get involved with those who are not really emotionally available. Look at what is happening and evaluate whether you really want a relationship at all. The opportunity to have one that will be special will come forward in late 2004. If you are attached, you need to schedule more private time together if you want your relationship to flourish.
