For Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012:

This year you could be unusually self-indulgent, and you’ll love every moment. A sweet tooth, as well as partying, could be the source of some weight gain. If you are single, you will delight in the “dating game.” If you are attached, add more playful moments into your bond.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

•••• What could be complicated becomes significantly less so because of a discussion. When you state your feelings, others also are more likely to open up. Tonight: Hook up with a key person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Defer to someone who might be eminently more capable and who has the ability to look at situations quite differently from you. This person’s mind is always active. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Your patience and ability to gain clarity — even in the most difficult situations — opens many doors. Additionally, your optimism helps others sometimes get past their issues. Tonight: Do not push yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Your libido energies are high. Remember, it is your choice as to how you direct them. Tonight: Not to be found.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You are most comfortable in a homey environment. If you are working, you could leave early and bring more work home or, if you can, take the day to work entirely from home. Tonight: Happy at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• You continue to express your feelings in a way others can relate to. Your willingness to verbalize your emotions is substantially increased. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Become more aware of yourself and what you offer to others. You do not want to pull back, but giving too much has its liabilities. Tonight: Treat someone to dinner.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Beam in what you want, as others are flexible. Someone appreciates your verbal and direct communication. Tonight: With a special person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•• Assume a low profile, especially if you do not want to maintain the lead in a key situation. Genuinely try to understand your liabilities, yet know when to accept an offer. Tonight: Do for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Meetings are far more important than you might realize. You are in sync with others, and this causes opportunities to knock on your door. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Put your best foot forward. Others respond to your efforts and admire your willingness to take the lead and accept responsibility. Tonight: Split town as soon as you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• You could be pushing the envelope. You also might want to do necessary research and create your own alternatives. Tonight: Listen to a great piece of music.
