YOUR horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018:

This year you won’t be able to complain about boredom. Situations might seem volatile at first, but know that they will improve, given some time. Go with the flow rather than fight change. If you are single, maintaining a stable bond could take unique talent. Take your time getting to know others before committing. If you are attached, you and your partner probably go through periods that feel like a roller coaster ride. At the same time, you will make enormous gains as a couple. TAURUS can be very stubborn and difficult to deal with.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The Full Moon invites extravagance. The decision to let go might have more to do with frustration than pleasure. Consider the possibilities, as they head in your direction. A noteworthy idea or happening could come out of confusion. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have been displaying a quirkier facet of your personality as of late. You might not know why, and you seem unable to go further into the topic at hand. Goodwill emerges. As a result, you feel optimistic and positive that everything will be fine. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your instincts might drive you to react strongly, when there really is no reason for that kind of response. Take in all the facts, and consider the pros and cons of proceeding as you have been. In fact, the less said, the better. Stay on top of your game. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You feel pressured by a friend to make a choice that you normally wouldn’t. You could get moody and might want to distance yourself. Remain optimistic that things will go well. A visit and a chat with a loved one help make you feel cared about. Tonight: Get into the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Pressure to smile and say that everything is all right might be high. You probably need to speak your mind and allow others to get a better sense of what is going on in your mind. Someone greets you with a big smile; listen to his or her news. Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Reach out to someone you care about. You could have difficulty getting past all the activity around you, or around this person. Do not give up, and you’ll find a way to break through. Caring flows naturally between you. A child becomes more responsive. Tonight: Time for fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A partner or loved one might give in to a desire to be extremely overindulgent. You might go along for the ride until you are faced with reality. No matter what is going on, stay centered, even if you do not have the self-discipline you might desire. Tonight: Explore a new place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be unusually energized. Try to funnel some of this energy into a creative project rather than allow it to dissolve. Your sense of direction could play an important role in what goes down. A loved one enjoys hanging out with you. Tonight: Just act natural.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Even if today’s Full Moon has the effect of making you want to be around friends and visit with several different people, pace yourself. Your nerves could become jangled with everything that is occurring. You might want to open up to new ideas. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be in the position of needing to be in two places at once. Despite being unable to meet the immediate demand, you somehow manage to make everyone happy. Express your caring and concern to a friend who will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Let it happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your instincts might point to staying close to home. You are likely to do just that. Whether you just need some time off or are needed elsewhere when something occurs, a change of pace is appropriate. You are able to read between the lines. Tonight: Lie low if possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Full Moon encourages you to daydream. You also might decide to fulfill a long-term wish. You see beyond the obvious when dealing with others. You even might notice a missed detail or two. Stay centered. A trip might be in the offing. Tonight: Read between the lines.
