For Monday, Oct. 24:

This year you might want to steer a steady ship, but the surprises keep coming. You will process your feelings and learn to move through your moods. If you are single, you might be attracted to someone who is emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from plenty of downtime together to nourish the bond. Libra reads you cold.
