For Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012:

This year you will have an unusual amount of energy, which you will express in your day-to-day life. You might decide to take up a new exercise program or try a new hobby. If you are single, you’ll meet someone at a public commitment or through a work friend. If you are attached, the two of you will commit to a common goal or community activity.
