HOROSCOPE

Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might be unusually quiet, as you are very much in your head. Strong feelings tend to permeate your day and drive your actions. You might feel a need to sort through the financial benefits of making one decision over another. You need to handle a boss directly. Tonight: Not to be found. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Zero in on what you want while timing is working in your favor. A friend or a meeting inspires you to be more open about making a dream a reality. You have a quality that encourages people to trust you. A partner or close associate will open up, given some time.

Tonight: Where your friends are. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Take a stand. Be as clear as possible about what is driving you, and know full well what feels right. A key person in your life demands your time and attention. The quality of your day-to-day life is up for examination. Tonight: A must appearance. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You have emotional resonance, and if you follow your intuition, things will work out in the way you want them to. Reach out for someone at a distance who might feel a bit strange at times. A partner or loved one is transforming, slowly but surely. Tonight: Wish upon a star. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relate to an instru- mental person in your life directly. This individual is imaginative and creative, but often not realistic. You might not want to have him or her as an active financial partner, as you could be setting the stage for trouble. Tonight: Visit over dinner. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Continue to allow others to steal the spotlight. In your reticence, you will be noticed. You might want to take some personal time. Others are only too delighted to fill in; they also will have a better sense of what you have to handle every day.

Tonight: Sort through invitations. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have an idea that might be difficult to explain in a way that others can understand. You just might need to go off and do it. Know that the expense or cost might be an issue. If so, look for a partner who understands your vision.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Use your imagination, and funnel your creativity into a fun Halloween project. Though sometimes your thoughts could be twisted or strange, they tend to pique others’ interest. A discussion allows you to see yet another path. Tonight: Ever creative. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

When you think about your domestic life, tension courses through your body. As a result, you could experience a low-level depression. Try a relaxation tech- nique, because you do need to deal with the situation sooner rather than later.

Tonight: Follow your instincts with a purchase. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are likely to say what you think, and you’ll expect someone else to understand the whole concept. Know that this might not be the case. Use your intuition when dealing with a relative or neighbor. You know what this person will say even before he or she speaks.

Tonight: Change your mood. Go out. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are not a sign that is dominated by a need for material items. You do, however, realize the need for money in the society in which you live. Inevitably, money slides through your fingers. Carefully count your change, but if you have a hunch about the lottery, go for it.

Tonight: Do some price comparison. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You beam and attract others, like honey attracts a bear. You might be taken aback by all the doors that open up for you. Follow your emotional sense in deciding what to do. Please note that some of the options available now could be closed off very soon.

Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. Born Today Guitarist Bill Wyman (1936), actor Kevin Kline (1947), singer Vanessa Brown (1983)
