Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 13

Those with birthdays today: You often flip between responsibilities and mirthful fun this year. You won’t be able to contain yourself, but you will learn to manage both sides of your life. Pace yourself, because you cannot be everywhere, and you certainly cannot clone yourself. Your ingenuity might surprise you. Remember that there are no problems, only solutions. If you are single, romance entices you, and before you know it, you are hooked up. If you are attached, add those touches that make a relationship special. You have an innate romantic charm. PISCES can demand a lot.
