For Tuesday, Oct. 9:

You might want to break many of your patterns. Success will head in your direction if you think through a goal, project or desire. At this point, your mind and heart will be connected. If you are single, scrutinize a love interest before taking the romantic plunge. If you are attached, schedule some weekends away together at favorite places. LIBRA can be challenging.

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)

¢¢¢ Gracefully change gears midday. You might hope that a different interest will help make the day easier. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ You will speak your mind even if others would prefer you didn’t. A partner could be antagonistic, perhaps as part of a control game. Tonight: Find a stress-buster.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want to be playful and more direct with someone you really care about. This person, more so than many, appreciates your levity. Tonight: Pretend that it’s still the weekend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Use the morning, when you have more spunk and get-up-and-go. Knowing when to back down might save the day. Tonight: Order in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ You will feel a little more energized as the day ages. Nevertheless, challenges surround you regardless of which direction you head in. Tonight: Hang out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You encounter an obstacle whether you want to or not. Pull back and take your time, especially with a family member or property investment. Tonight: Pay bills first.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ Midday, you might want to change gears or at least do something different. As you are responding to your inner voice, this change is excellent. Tonight: Do your thing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ Use the a.m. as if there is no tomorrow. You will like what emerges as a result. Whatever unfurls in the afternoon is best kept close to your chest. Tonight: Take some much needed personal time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Others might be depending on you a little too much for your taste. Know that you might not be able to change their habits, but you might want to revisit your attitude. Tonight: Find your friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Reach out for different and stronger answers. You might not always be on top of your game. Tonight: Out late.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want a partner to dominate, even if you don’t realize it yet. He or she needs to see the end results of his or her actions. Let this person take the blame if there is a boomerang. Tonight: Try a new restaurant.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ Others certainly have control. True to form, you might want to toss in your interest and go in another direction. Evaluate carefully before allowing impulsiveness to take over. Tonight: Even if you don’t agree, listen to a dear friend.
