OCTOBER 12, 2019

MOON ALERT: We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Aries.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor Hugh Jackman (1968) shares your birthday. You are a witty, enthusiastic, excellent communicator. You’re also dependable and free-spirited. This is a year of teaching and learning. You might learn something profound that sets you in a new direction that is crucial for your success next year. Start to explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Two possibilities exist today: You might receive an unexpected gift, perhaps cash or a favor from another source, especially a partner. However, you might also have to deal with something unexpected that affects your share of property or an inheritance. (Whaat?)

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You want stimulation and excitement in your closest relationships. This is why if you feel bored, you might do something to stir the pot, as it were, even if it means starting a fight. Perhaps someone wants more freedom in the relationship?

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Something unexpected related to your health might occur today. (Could be good news or not.) In fact, it is wise to guard against accidents. Meanwhile, love at first sight or a saucy flirtation might begin with a work-related colleague. Then again, payment or cash due to you might be interrupted.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Love at first sight might occur for some of you. You want some thrills and chills in your romance — no question. Meanwhile, this is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

You might impulsively buy something for your home. It could be high-tech or modern art or something pretty. You might also entertain in an impromptu fashion. Unexpected news regarding real estate might excite you. Possibly, a family member has unexpected news.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Something unexpected will take place in your daily routine related to your daily surroundings or your daily contacts. New faces, new places, unexpected news will surprise you. You might also have an epiphany or an excellent idea. It’s an exciting day — and you are not bored.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Something that affects your wealth, your possessions or your money will occur and surprise you. You might spontaneously purchase something beautiful. Admittedly, you might also lose something beautiful. You might also have a fantastic, moneymaking idea?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Stay light on your feet because social occasions are fast-changing, which means you have to stay awake and be alert. Quite likely, you will encounter new people and new situations that are stimulating and different. No bores allowed!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Something going on behind the scenes might suddenly demand your attention. This could be anything from a private little meeting to a secret love tryst. This influence will make you feel restless and give you a sense of expectation. “I’m waiting — but for what? Surely not another shoe?”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

A friend might surprise you, especially someone who is creative and artistic. Or perhaps your encounter is in an artistic environment? Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is unusual, attractive and definitely different. (Not a boring day.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Relations with bosses, the police and authority figures are full of surprises. Very likely, you will be caught off guard by someone. This could lead to a flirtation or a romance. It might lead to a professional offer you didn’t expect. It could be a cancellation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Travel plans will change. A lovely opportunity to travel might drop in your lap. By contrast, special travel plans for pleasure might be delayed or canceled. You might also meet someone different, from another culture or a different country who intrigues you. Be open to new things coming your way.
