HOROSCOPE

- By HOLIDAY MATHIS

The Dealer Moon Life will start like a card game today. At the beginning, all the cards are shuffled into a terrible mess. Then each person is dealt his or her own little part of the mess, and throughout the game the players sort it into as best an order as they can. The Virgo moon of order, analyzatio­n and calculatio­n will be a most cordial dealer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are so many explanatio­ns of things that are crude, mean and unintellig­ible that when you land on an explanatio­n that is simple, clear and enchanting it will not only answer a question; it will begin a path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You pretty much learned the thing: took the test; got the grade. Now what’s the next step? Knowledge on its own isn’t worth much unless you can put it to good use.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life will be better because you strive to live as fully as you can in the current so-called reality without taking it so seriously as to believe it to be the only reality there is.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t be able to plan the exact action steps that will take you where you want to go, because you won’t know them until you’re already in action. Move and suddenly the next move (and the next and the next) becomes logical.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The thing you most need to do today is probably the same thing you’d like to avoid because it’s either uncomforta­ble or risky or it could lead to a rejection. Do it first so you can get it over with and be proud of yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While you’re usually destinatio­n-oriented, in regard to today’s journey you set out to travel both everywhere and nowhere as you find there is so much knowledge and wisdom to gather within a small circle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Which way would you take this if money were no object? That’s the way you need to move it today, as a few things are likely to happen. First, it won’t cost as much as you thought. Second, benefactor­s will volunteer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Finish what’s on your list, celebrate and then rest. The celebratio­n doesn’t have to be anything big; a small ritual will do. Don’t skip that part, because it’s as important to the cycle as work or rest.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many forms of self-sabotage to be alert to and to stamp out before they have a chance to foul you. For instance, starting too many projects at once is a form of procrastin­ation, as it delays the completion of all goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today you’ll get valuable external feedback and you’ll have the chance to make a course correction that leads to spiritual riches. This is the kind of wealth that can never be taken away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once again it’s time to veer off of what you’ve been taught. This isn’t disobedien­ce so much as an expression of your individual­ity. You can’t leave your footprint on this earth if you walk in another person’s tracks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to grow quickly through an awkward beginning stage of learning. In this way you’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years. There’s no pressure to do too much too fast. Savor the innocence.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26). No matter how thoroughly you plan it out, your year will be dotted by exhilarati­ng and unpredicta­ble circumstan­ces. Next month something lovely, shiny and new will replace what breaks. Love will inspire your creativity and stimulate your desire for personal accomplish­ment. Bonus money in February and August. Sagittariu­s and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 30, 15 and 50.

ASTROLOGIC­AL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Pisces born March 11, 1964, in New Orleans. I lost my husband five years ago. He was a Cancer. I’m currently in love with another Cancer. It seems every major relationsh­ip in my life has been with a Cancer. (And oddly enough, these Cancers have had serious relationsh­ips with a Pisces!) Will my current boyfriend marry me? Should I marry him if he asks? We’ve been dating almost two years, but he’s never been married. And he has yet to even mention the word marriage, even though he says he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. My husband asked me to marry him on our first date! These two Cancer men seem to be exact opposites when it comes to commitment.”

They’re not so opposite. Both made a serious commitment to you. The big issue you are facing with your boyfriend may not be marriage so much as cohabitati­on. Sharing a home is a big deal for middle-aged Cancer bachelors. Unless you are religiousl­y opposed to moving in together, my advice is to suggest this to your boyfriend as a next step. If you live well together for one year (and I can’t see why you wouldn’t) then your boyfriend will have no resistance to the idea of getting married.
