For Thursday, Oct. 16:

You make a difference this year, especially when you work closely with one person. You are resourceful, and you come from an unusual sense of security or well-being. If you are single, you might never experience a year like 2009 again. If attached, the two of you create your own world when left alone together. Taurus gets oh-so-heavy.

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)

¢¢¢ Curb a tendency to be possessive or touchy. Stop and reflect. Recognize what you offer, and perhaps you will feel better and feel less of a need to “have.” Tonight: Pay bills, then decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Use a surge of energy with an eye to positive dynamic change. You might be surprised by what you can and might produce. Tonight: Only what you want.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Close your door if you can. You do best flying solo, doing research and tapping into a dream. How you see a situation changes with new input. Tonight: For you and you alone.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Knowing which side your bread is buttered on is instrumental to what you need to accomplish. Tonight: How ’bout a game of ball with a friend, and then dinner?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others want to share more with you. At the same time, you will feel more responsible, and that could make you feel quite uncomfortable. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You might want to rethink a decision that forces you to take a new step or enter new turf. If you are uneasy, take your time. Tonight: Follow the music.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Work directly with someone you care about. You could be startled by this person’s reaction. Tonight: Dinner for two!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others let you know what they expect and want. You could be confused by the lack of communication or someone’s innuendos. Tonight: Sort through your many invitations.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Accomplish as much as you can. You could be a bit overwhelmed by what is going on. Ask for someone’s support. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Where others might feel as if a door was slammed shut in their face, you find this a very special opportunity. Tonight: Start your weekend early.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Responsibilities personally and on the domestic front take a higher priority. Some of you might be dealing with their mother as well. Tonight: Happy to be home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Keep conversations moving. Be careful that you do not get hung up on an idea. Listen to feedback, and try not to read anything more into someone’s words. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.
