Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have the strength and stubbornness to achieve your goals. You will find spring much easier than the beginning of this birthday year. You might need to revise your style of communication. If you are single, you will meet people easily. Don’t automatically make your special friend part of the family. Take this year to get to know him or her. If you are attached, you will need to work out some issues regarding family, home and your domestic life. Know that you need to give in a little more.
