Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Oct. 11

Those with birthdays today: You make waves this year with avant-garde thinking and a new perspective. You might wonder where an issue ends and begins. Others come to you, as you often shed light on a situation. Many of you could consider going back to school or trying something different. Why not? Travel plays a distinct role in your choices. If you are single, someone quite different could wave hello and enter your life. This type of happening could occur more than once this year. If you are attached, plan on that special retreat you have dreamed about. GEMINI punctuates your life with different thinking.

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 have the energy and clout to back your actions, ideas and opinions. Still, events or information could challenge you. Thinking through an idea can make sure you are on the right track. Tonight: Flex with others’ plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have a way of justifying any quality indulgence that takes you down a new path. A partner or associate might have very different financial ideas. Listen. Tonight: Your treat.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Yes, you are feeling your Wheaties. The real issue lies in how to handle all this energy. Someone could feel threatened by you – time to use your charm! Tonight: You are the lead actor.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Know when to call it quits or just say you are tired. This knowledge and ability could separate you from the many who surround you. Schedule a checkup or dentist’s appointment soon. Tonight: Curl up with a book. Happily vanish.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might not know when to put a halt to what seems like a runaway situation. You will feel pushed to a point where even a purring Lion could become a snarling animal. Tonight: Hang with your pals.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Take charge. Sometimes others defer to you because they trust your judgment. A family member creates an uproar. Could he or she not be getting enough attention? Tonight: Try to curb the socializing and head home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Sometimes you need to disengage. Pull out of a situation and detach, perhaps imagining what it would be like to walk in another person’s shoes. Tonight: Let your mind roam to music, or perhaps surf the Internet.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Even you might need to think before you take action. A partner conceptualizes a situation differently. Yes, you do need to express your ideas, especially if your finances are involved. Tonight: Time for a special person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today is one of those days when you push others away, perhaps only because you need to snarl or be testy. Look within before making comments. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Know when to back off. Your best bet will be focusing on work and your routine. You will mellow out and gain a novel perspective. Your abilities in the public or professional realm make a difference. Tonight: Slow down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You need to see both sides if you want to keep the peace. If you manage to identify and work with different opinions, you will discover how clear you are. A friend could let you down. This too will pass. Tonight: A midweek romp.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Duck before someone slams you with information you would prefer not to hear. If you listen to an associate or boss, you are getting a distorted version. Know when something doesn’t work. Tonight: Mosey on home.
