Horoscopes

For Saturday, Oct. 23, 2004.

Those with birthdays today: Much might go on behind the scenes this year. You will be like a cat with nine lives, always landing on your feet. Let go of what isn’t working for you. If you are single, you will have your share of admirers, and might actually go through several different people until you find someone who meets your needs. This could happen as late as next fall. You will not be able to complain that your love life is boring. If you are attached, your relationship will heat up with special, romantic weekends away together.
