saturday’s horoscope
BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Desmond Harrington was born in Savannah, Ga., on this date in 1976. This birthday guy is known for his roles as Det.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): All’s fair in love and war. This weekend, be careful not to alienate someone by being overly aggressive or insensitive. If you begin a new relationship, it’s not likely to be lasting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Steer clear of false starts. An unexpected change of plan or an argument could result in plans getting channeled through a revolving door. It’s better to be known as a reliable friend than a secret lover.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think it through and the truth will stick like glue. Don’t be dismayed if someone opposes your every wish. Those angling for attention might subtly undermine your efforts or appear cantankerous.
CANCER (June21-July22): You’re clever enough to know there are people smarter and wiser than you. You could be humbled or inspired by someone with a great mind. A learning experience may make you thirst for more.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone might evade a question rather than be argumentative. Think carefully before you overreact to a lack of enthusiasm for your ideas, or to the unpleasant behavior of a loved one. It will all blow over soon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be thorough about your studies and don’t be afraid to handle challenging mental work. Don’t be put off your feed by subtle hostilities or unreliable companions who test your composure, as well as your patience.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Walk the balance beam between being kind and being foolish. A small bit of compassion and sympathy can loosen up sticky situations, but too much of either could make things even stickier.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Talk the talk and you can walk the walk. Listen to your conscience and pay heed to generous impulses, as they may have genuine merit. Develop viable plans with a trustworthy partner or advisor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might not know it all, but you can give it a valiant try. You can learn whatever you really need to know by cruising the Internet. The facts you can’t find might not be worthy of your time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stability means you have both feet planted firmly on the ground. Rather than dreaming up a plot, try staying put. It isn’t necessary to show off for a special someone who’s content to accept you as you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid going back and forth in an unwinnable argu- ment unless you have a cast iron stomach. Arguments that begin now may last a long time. Don’t pursue non-productive ideas or get caught up in unrealistic proposals.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Charity is the foundation that builds a home. Be good to those close to you and they’ll be good to you when the chips are down. It’s not a good day to make an agreement, a promise, or a commitment.
IF OCTOBER 19 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Ambitions are important to you during the next two to three weeks. Take notes and wait for December or January to launch important financial plans, begin a new job, or start a business. You may be inspired to create material wealth or business success, and your business acumen will reach a peak during that period. A less competitive attitude will arise after January, and you may alter your perception of what’s important to you. March is a very good time to make permanent moves or improvements that affect your health.
