Horoscopes

For Monday, Oct. 16

Those with birthdays today: Taking action will be second nature this year. Knowing when to rein in your drive could be important. Listen to others, as they often have viable suggestions. A friendship or key bond could be difficult as you renegotiate where you are coming from. Express who you are, remaining authentic. Realize where you are going and why. Your magnetism and desirability peak, drawing many new people into your life. If you are single, this popularity allows you to meet a special person (or people). If you are attached, become a team as you manifest a key mutual goal. LEO is always a friend first.

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)

Though you can be serious at times, for a few moments today your ability to kick back and enjoy arises. You have the imagination to take an idea and work it into a great scheme or production. Tonight: Lighten up.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might want to bottom out before you start a new project. You feel that too much has unraveled for you to keep your life together. Stop and tie up some loose ends. Tonight: Vanish behind the answering machine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You could feel frustrated by someone with whom you are trying very hard to communicate. He or she could close down no matter what you try. Perhaps the right way to handle this person is not to try. Tonight: Out and about.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might want to put a halt to what is happening, especially if you are not comfortable. Your sign needs fiscal comfort in order to stabilize. Honor your needs. Tonight: Gather bills.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Happy days will be here once you clear out some negativity. You have reason to smile and work with others. What becomes apparent is how much you value a key friend or relative. Tonight: Live life as if there is no tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Know when you need to take a timeout, for your sake. Don’t be surprised if you feel overwhelmed. Just understand your limits. Walk away from a tendency to be negative or abrupt. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Emphasize your goals and friendships. You will try something totally new. Listen to what others are saying. Wisdom comes from others when you least expect it. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Stay on top of what is happening. Know that you could be pivotal to work or a responsibility. Others might be unusually hard on you. Know when to walk away and say enough. Tonight: Out and about.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might be more than ready to try a new approach. Have you been playing with an idea in your mind? Why not act on it? Tonight: Find someone you respect to talk you through a problem.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might want to talk turkey with a key associate. Timing might be everything, as at one point during the day this person could close down. Know when to push and when not to. Tonight: Say yes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Others think they – and they actually may – have better ideas than you. Granted, you are original, but they might be a touch more practical. Understanding takes you to a new level. Tonight: Explore others’ suggestions. Flex, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Dig into a project. You could be overwhelmed and tired. Listen to others and what they want to share. You might not have as much flex or say as you would like. Be careful with spending. Tonight: relax.
