Horoscopes

For Monday, Oct. 31

Those with birthdays today: Often, you might want to retreat from situations. Actually, maintaining a low profile will work well for you and will add to the lucky nature of your year. Think through decisions rather than have a knee-jerk reaction. Your instincts are unusually strong, especially with money. In fact, you might restructure your finances and the manner in which you handle them. If you are single, you will have many admirers; just make sure the person you choose is available. If you are attached, plan plenty of getaways together. Be more open. LIBRA makes a good healer or doctor for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You simply are not able to get away from the Halloween enthusiasm. Just when you are deep in concentration, a witch or gremlin pops by. Why fight the inevitable? Tonight: At one of the many pumpkin parties.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might need to be an anchor, as everyone trips on his or her alter ego or fantasy character. You get the job done and finish off what others might be too distracted to do. Tonight: Just make sure you are ready for the trick-or-treaters.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your enthusiasm can’t be quelled. Allow more humor and fun in. Someone might make a last-minute suggestion. Go for it. Tonight: Be a kid again. You might like a piece of candy or two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You naturally find fun, though for whatever reason, you might feel a need to anchor in those around you. If you can work from home, please do. Tonight: Make sure you have enough candy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You naturally get into the levity of the day. In fact, you might be happy just watching the kids getting excited. Think “fun” when making plans later in the day. Tonight: Hang where the fun is, or be the one distributing the candy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Last-minute details could keep you in your head and not as aware as you would like to be. You might need to make a last-minute purchase. Also, an expenditure might surround your home life. Tonight: Don’t be extravagant.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

With the Moon in your sign, where you direct your energy counts. You are likely to succeed. Be willing to adjust and make positive changes if need be. Tonight: Either watching the action or being part of it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might want to be more of an observer than a player right now. Use extreme caution with your finances; you could have an unexpected expenditure. Don’t take a comment personally. Tonight: Vanish like a ghost.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

No matter how many times you twist and turn your plans, you like the end results. You do need to be around people, be it at work or in your personal life. Tonight: Get into the fun nature of the night.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whatever goes on, you naturally fall into the position of leader of the gang. Your decision counts. Others will naturally accept you as wise and intelligent. Tonight: Get into the Halloween spirit.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your imagination could go haywire or really be out there, especially if conjuring up any Halloween plans. Listen to a friend who might have a more grounded perspective. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll now, even if it means a last-minute change.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* A partner dominates plans, ideas and decisions. Don’t buck this trend, for now. This person wants you to focus on just him or her. Do it. Be a good listener. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.
