Horoscopes

For Sunday, Oct. 9, 2005

For those with birthdays today: Though you are a gregarious and outgoing sign, you will want to build or strengthen the fundamentals of your life. Your finances and personal life are unusually high priorities. You will discover that others often don’t understand your lack of availability. Sometimes you need to do for yourself. You create a high-energy bond with a key associate. If you are single, you might be looking at purchasing a home, with or without a sweetie. He or she will pop up sooner rather than later this year. If you are attached, your home and domestic life allow you to feel better and add more creativity into your life. CAPRICORN anchors you.
