For Wednesday, Oct. 17:

You have direction, strength and determination. Funnel this energy into your personal life or your investments. In some manner, you consider work a distraction from the many other rewarding areas of your life. If you are single, you develop a unique distaste for being alone. If you are attached, do more as a couple. Socialize, add to your home life and enjoy the bond to the max. CAPRICORN can be demanding.

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)

¢¢¢¢ Take charge and understand what makes you tick. Tempers flare when you least expect it, yours included. Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your ability to read between the lines might separate you from others. Creativity might help you come up with solutions, but you might not feel that you are flowing. Tonight: Take an overview.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Work as a team. Deal with someone directly. Creativity emerges when dealing with your high energy and a key person’s ideas. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others pull the strings, and once more you go along for the ride. You might be quite irritable or uptight. Tonight: Say yes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ All work and no play proves to be a most unhealthy blend. The real issue is how to bypass this situation and return to your old ways. Tonight: Indulge in a hot bath; soak away stress.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Revise your thinking once, twice, as many times as necessary. Being able to flow and not get locked into an idea could easily prove to be a strength, despite how a boss or associate views this unpredictability. Tonight: Time to enjoy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ Stay close to basics – emotionally, intellectually and physically. Right now avant-garde behavior and thought won’t work. Tonight: Relax at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your words have implications. Actually, what you say always does, but right now you see results more easily. Tonight: Hanging out is fun.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ You might want to rethink your ideas, especially if present activity is causing a hole in your wallet. You have what it takes to say no to this trend and turn it around. Tonight: A must appearance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your high energy points to positive and dynamic changes. Perhaps you don’t realize the power and strength of your thoughts, especially if you detach. Tonight: Act like top dog.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢ Knowing when to step back might be more important than taking action. If you observe more, you will notice a new trend building. Tonight: Yours to decide.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Zero in on what you want and refuse to back down or settle for less. If you feel frustrated, push yourself to find solutions. Tonight: Where you are is where the happening is.
