YOUR HOROSCOPE
Birthday Guy: Actor Jason Butler Harner was born in Elmira, N.Y., on this day in 1970. This birthday guy’s extensive TV work includes roles on “Ray Donovan,” “Ozark,” “Scandal,” and “The Blacklist.” He’s also appeared on episodes of “Elementary,” “Colony,” and “Homeland.” On the big screen, Harner’s film resume includes “The Family Fang,” “Non-Stop,” and “Kill the Irishman.”
Aries (March 21-April 19): Frustrations and irritations may need tender ministrations. Don’t take a cold appraisal of your work personally. You may need to do something over again to get it pitch perfect.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You may be out of your range if you focus on making a change. Like a baritone trying to sing a soprano part, you might hit a few sour notes if you try to liven up your love life.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Changes in plans are entirely possible, but don’t let this ruffle your feathers. Things are likely to work out to your advantage in the long run. Some things are better left unsaid until the time is ripe.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Temporary tensions will give way to a more cooperative mood if you ignore minor spats. Keep a lock on your piggy bank, as there may be pressure on you to spend too freely.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Put a padlock on passions. You may be eager to move forward with a new idea when caution is a better tactic. Anything that keeps you up at night might be something you should avoid.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You want to have your cake and eat it, too. Hard work is a necessary evil and you must not be distracted by feelings of inadequacy. Don’t make promises or sign financial agreements.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may need to play second fiddle to those who display genius or mesmerize you with finely wrought ideas. Your friends may have the power to solve your most immediate problems.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Maintain your poise when faced by a sudden change in plans or an unexpected shift of allegiance. Friends trust you to maintain confidences and secrets even in stressful situations.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even if the iron is hot, it isn’t the right time to strike. Your desires may be thwarted by circumstances outside your control. Obey the rules and steer clear of any possible trouble.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “All steam ahead” is a great slogan unless you happen to be the captain of the Titanic. There may be dangerous problems lurking beneath the surface that can catch you unawares.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pretty playthings that dazzle you today may bore you tomorrow. Stick to classic designs and long-term investments. An impulsive purchase may be a fad that quickly fades in value.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Bank romantic fires. Your social instincts may be on the fritz and a flirtation or outing might prove disappointing. Wait for better timing to pursue a special someone or something. if October 9 is your birthday: A passion to succeed in business without really trying may be the key note of the upcoming five to six weeks. The problem, however, is that if you don’t try, you won’t succeed, making this a poor time to pursue financial or career objectives. Don’t be deluded into thinking that you can receive something for nothing. By late November, you will be better equipped to take action and show off your competitive side. This is a good time to begin a new sport or exercise program. Your business sense is at its best in February, making this a good time to evaluate your financial assets or to put career ideas into action. In March and April, look for ways to make major improvements or take advantage of a friendly helping hand.
