For Thursday, Oct. 13:

This year you have more impact than you have had in years. You also will feel the weight of additional responsibility. If you are single, someone you meet this year could be significant to your life. If you choose to hook up with this person, you will have difficulty getting out of this bond, should you so choose. If you are attached, the two of you could be unusually hard on each other. Taurus understands you well.
