Horoscopes

For Friday, Oct. 8, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Emphasize networking and expanding your immediate circle of friends. Through your extended circle and established friends, your desires and wishes happen. If you are single, build a relationship on a basis of friendship. You might not be inclined to do this, as the romantic of the Zodiac, but this will be important. If you are attached, make a list of goals together. Brainstorm and make them so. Love develops a very ethereal, romantic tone.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • You skip into the office just to skip on out as fast as you can. Whatever happens during the day, you’re focused on the weekend. Tonight: Remember, you don’t have to do it all in one night!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You are between a rock and a hard place. Bosses are confused or not focused on the moment. Getting a clear answer might not be in the realm of possibilities. Your family and domestic life (and the cat) demand your attention, whether you like it or not. Tonight: Rush home, slam the door shut and don’t answer the phone. Then take a deep breath!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You insist on being the office chatterbox. With all the words that spill out of your mouth, how will anyone get the essence of your message? Tonight: Join your pals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Money becomes a prime consideration in a partnership. Have you thought that you give too much? An associate or partner might be confused about his or her values. Tonight: Treat yourself to something new.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You might not be seeing someone in his or her true light, but how you want to see this person. Right now, everything, including plans, falls as you would like it to. Please note others’ reactions. Tonight: The Lion is truly king or queen right now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Step back, especially as you might be a bit confused by something in your daily and/or work life. Mulling over a decision could be the right way to go. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You enjoy people. Friends are great, but loves are even better. Somehow you will manage to mix both this weekend. Be careful with a key person in your life. Tonight: You are the party, once more.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Others look to you for guidance. Isn’t it tiring being the person everyone comes to and often drops his or her responsibilities on? Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • You have an unusual perspective, brought on by detachment. Tonight: Opt for a new place or restaurant. Break patterns.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Others seek you out. Many have questions that tap your strengths. You could be evaluating how much you want to get involved. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • You might be confusing others, maybe even yourself. You miss what others really say and do. You insist on being starry-eyed and idealistic. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Take your time. Put the finishing touches on work and a project. You might want to run an errand on the way home. Tonight: Put your feet up.
