Horoscopes

For Sunday, Oct. 10, 2004. Those with birthdays today: The best approach in general would be a low profile this year. Recognize that you might need lots of downtime from work or your day-to-day life. Whether reading, doing yoga or talking to a trusted pal, you will need to find a way to deal with stressed nerves. You will need to flex more in the near future and be open to different styles. If you are single, a suitor or suitors who might not be available could frequent your love life, yet the caring could be very deep. Develop a radar for these situations. If you are attached, plan on as many special weekends away together as possible. Add more loving to your bond.

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)

  • A bad dream or early call could have you out of sorts. Remember, Sunday can also be your day of rest. A gentle, nurturing approach also could be healing to you. Treat yourself well. Tonight: Early bedtime.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Embrace your weekend and allow in more mirth. You exhibit a playfulness and sensuality that makes you irresistible. At the same time, you’ll get that snap, crackle and pop. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Playful makes the difference when dealing with close family members. Someone key to your life might be acting as if he or she is a volcano. Relax in your own home and put your feet up. Tonight: Order in.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Plans could radically change, be it your choice or someone else’s. Make Sunday calls to family at a distance. At the same time, catch up with friends and plan a late lunch and movie. Tonight: Chat away.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Though you might start to worry about funds out of the blue, make it a point to pay bills and treat others. Your good karma will come back in multiples — maybe not today, but soon. Tonight: Count on spending a little.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • You’re all smiles as the Moon beams in your sign. Someone could be a bit difficult and/or touchy. For the most part, what you want is what you get. Express your affection and caring. Tonight: The stage is yours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You might opt for calm and quiet. Your nerves are frayed, and you might be jumpy. Someone you meet could be more of a problem than a delight, though you might not think so at first. Tonight: Get lots of sleep.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Investigate what others are planning. You might want to invite yourself along. Friends welcome you, though a certain friendship might have a flirtatious tone. Tonight: Play as if tomorrow were Saturday.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Bring family, friends and associates together. Some might feel that a public appearance is a must. Whatever you decide to do, somehow you will need to assume the limelight. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Others don’t read a situation the same way you do. Brainstorm away. Gather a child or loved one and hop into the car. Visit a favorite spot or investigate a new area or choose an art exhibit. Tonight: Opt for unusual.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Make sure the funds in your wallet are really there. You will want to make private plans with someone special. Take the time to relate more closely. You do care about this bond. Tonight: Snuggle in.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Your unpredictability could take a toll with friends and loved ones. Explain where you are coming from. Accept a fun invitation where you are surrounded with people. Tonight: Read Scorpio.
