Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 5

Those with birthdays today: This year you might frequently find yourself on overload; tackle one project at a time. You also might tend to be extravagant. The more empathy you express in your daily life, the more you will gain and grow within your relationships. Do avoid controlling people, as they make you tense and at times belligerent. If you are single, your life takes an interesting twist as someone quite unusual pops into your days. You could find yourself at odds with this person. If you are attached, don’t get into right or wrong situations; just learn to understand where he or she is coming from. PISCES can work well with you, if you are open.
