Horoscope for October 11, 2009

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)

••• Emphasize the possibilities. Unexpected insights about a family member give you the ability to move forward quickly. Your caring helps an associate open up, making it far easier to get to the bottom of a problem. Tonight: Fit in a workout.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Investigate options revolving around your daily life, a group of people and/or a get-together. Your sense of humor emerges with a difficult situation. Your involvement takes you to a new level of commitment. The good news is, ultimately it will be less difficult than you anticipated. Tonight: Catch up on calls and e-mail.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• You might want to try another approach, honoring a need to grow in a new direction. Expenses become intense and somewhat difficult. Know when to put a halt to spending. See if there is another path. Tonight: Your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• While others try to get a better sense of what might be going on, you are looking for better answers. Consider options that come forward involving a sibling or neighbor. Cut impulsiveness as soon as possible. Tonight: As you like.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•• Holding anger in might not be good ultimately, as you will express it in some way — possibly by getting sick. Express feelings in a way that someone can hear, rather than let them smolder. You have a strong sense of your limitations. Tonight: R and R.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Knowing what you want will take you in a new direction if you listen to your instincts coupled with a friend’s feedback. Unexpected actions develop new potential and freedom in a relationship. At first, the conservative in you might close down. Tonight: Go for what you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Join an older friend or relative. The two of you will have a ball indulging in a leisurely meal and perhaps a movie. You have plenty of time to catch up on news. Invite others to join you at a later point. Tonight: Out late.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Detach and choose offbeat plans. Decide to break from your pattern, and you will be happier. Be open to different styles, but don’t feel as if you must act in that way. A friend doesn’t mean to be difficult. Tonight: Let your imagination come into play.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• Deal with one person directly. As sometimes this person gets shy and/or withholds, your ability to read between the lines allows greater closeness than this person is used to. Understand this person’s powerful reactions. Tonight: Dinner and a chat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Others find you, even if you want to play the recluse. Give up what appears to be impossible: a quiet day. Go for fun and frivolity. Remember, it is unusual to have so many people feeling so gregarious. Seize the moment. Tonight: It’s hard to tell tomorrow is Monday.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• You might decide to clear up a problem and resolve an issue. Use your ability to stay light and easy and not get as uptight as in the past. Clearing out what must be done puts a smile on your face. Invite a friend or loved one to join you later. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• You need to revamp your ideas and take a stronger stand with a difficult person. Nudging, coaxing and surprising are all tactics that haven’t worked. A clear conversation isn’t received. Perhaps the time has come for action. Tonight: Ever playful.
