­For Monday, Oct. 3:

You swing back and forth from extrovert to introvert this year. You enjoy carousing and being social, but you also honor your priorities. If you are single, you cannot deny your love of romance. Honor that passion and watch everything else tumble into place. If you are attached, your sweetie will work with you to resolve an issue, as long as you keep expressing your caring. Capricorn understands you better than you think.
