Horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Sunday, Oct. 16. This year you have an opportunity to see many sides of an issue. You will discover what voice to use in any discussion. You might want to weigh the pros and cons of using an intellectual approach as opposed to an emotional one. Indulge others more often, and try not to be so me-oriented. If you are single, you meet potential sweeties with ease. Still, wait for the right person to come along. If you are attached, the two of you often sit on opposite sides of a question. Accept and respect your differences. TAURUS can be gentle yet demanding at the same time.
