Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You are personality plus this year, though you might not be able to make a dent when dealing with a stubborn domestic situation and/or real estate investment. Decide to focus on areas where you can make a difference. You are unusually lucky and beginning a new 11-year life and luck cycle. If you are single, others pick up on your kindness as well as your charisma. Just don’t allow a relationship to become a live-in situation this year. If you are attached, you might want to move or make a change in your family structure. Know that there are two of you and that your view isn’t the only one.

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

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might have something on your mind that is preventing you from fully concentrating on a project. You might have difficulty staying in the here and now. Deal with new information and find experts. Tonight: Let your mind wander with music.

  • Others expect a lot from you. Know that, without a doubt, you cannot please all the people all the time. Tonight: Be with your favorite person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
