For Tuesday, Oct. 9:

This year opportunities come out of left field. Matters involving someone at a distance, travel or education appear to be very fortunate. If you are single, you could meet someone very intense who draws you in. If you are attached, you will experience a lot of positive moments despite the fact that your relationship has weathered some hard times in the past.
