For Wednesday, Oct. 22:

You will make a difference this year. Use your people skills to excel with groups and in meetings. You know how to mobilize others and get them going. If you are single, you will meet people with ease, but get to know a special person well before deciding whether he or she is “it.” If you are attached, the two of you, if interested in making a public commitment together, will draw in much closer. Leo demands attention and could shove you out of the way.

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 blaze a trail that is memorable in the next few days. You might want to think before getting into it with a key person – or anyone, for that matter. Tonight: Your sense of humor kicks in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Basics count, as you are reminded today. You might wonder what caused you to waver. Others will become even more challenging than in the past. Tonight: Happy at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ Through the confusion, you speak clearly. Whether others can hear your suggestions or ideas is unknown. You might be hard to find once you get into a project. Tonight: Return calls.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ Spending seems inevitable, but a risk is not. Decide to walk a conservative path. Your creativity manifests, no matter what you do. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ The Moon in your sign beams in many opportunities. Still, someone you care about could be difficult and unavailable. Tonight: Whatever you can conjure up!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢ Understand that you might be a lot happier if you kick back and do not get involved in a matter you see as volatile. Tonight: Take a personal night.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Aim for more of what you want. Listen to what is being shared, and be aware of what someone might be suggesting. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ You might be far more volatile than you realize. Others could start backing off, and you wonder why. Tonight: Where the action is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be vested in holding some anger, and you could find that trying to detach is difficult but possible. Tonight: Where the action is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ A conflict arises between what you want and an associate’s desire. Everyone has a different view, so resolution might be impossible. Tonight: Off with a favorite friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Defer to others, especially as a boss or someone you look up to might be on a full rampage. Tonight: Where people are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You could be on overload, and calls only make it harder to get done what you need to do. Find someone who knows more than you do about a problem. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.
