JACQUELINE BIGAR’S HOROSCOPE

For Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016

-

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Take charge of the moment. You can make someone feel either great or terrible, depending on your mood. Caring exists between you and a friend; it would be wise not to be so reactive to this person’s every action, which is your natural tendency.

This week: Use Monday and Tuesday for interperso­nal matters. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Reach out to someone who can help you gain a better understand­ing of what is going on. You might have an unexpected insight that initially makes you uncomforta­ble. Know that this vision will empower you later.

This week: Pressure builds, and you take a stand. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

One- on-one relating opens doors and makes a change possible. Once you gain passage, you actually might decide that you don’t need to walk through the door. Freedom of choice proves to be more important to you than the path you head down.

This week: Detach and look at the big picture, should you encounter a conflict. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Defer to others, and you’ll get the response you desire. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. Hiding your insecuriti­es from the majority of people might work, but not with those to whom you are closest. An older friend surprises you.

This week: A partner plays a significan­t role in what happens. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have had many aspiration­s for your weekend. Today, for your own mental well-being, you find that you must prioritize and complete one task or project at a time. News from a distance could force a change of plans. Express your caring.

This week: Work with one individual at a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Allow your imaginatio­n to lead the way. Make sure that others are on the same page as you. You could take for granted that a loved one wants the same outcome you desire. Show your appreciati­on for this person’s support. A surprise will change your focus. This week: You finally achieve what you have wanted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be wondering which direction you should head in. A family matter dominates the day, which is likely to add to the confusion. Recognize that you must handle this immediate crisis before you do anything else.

This week: Your romantic nature takes over. Make the most of the moment! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pick up the phone and call a friend whom you adore but rarely make time to chat with. Catching up on each other’s news will make you both happy. The unexpected takes you down an unusual path. Although it is natural to hesitate, don’t. This week: Your ingenious mind and resilient spirit point to the answer. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be aware of the cost of making a certain choice. You could cause yourself significan­t angst if you don’t rein in your spending. You might want to buy a token of appreciati­on for a loved one; keep your budget in mind, and you won’t have a problem.

This week: Speak your mind, but remember to be diplomatic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your fiery personalit­y comes out when you let go of your work life and heavy responsibi­lities. Be a kid again, and enjoy the moment. You care enormously about a close loved one. Share news and be more open with this person. This week: Make intelligen­t financial decisions at the beginning of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Step back and observe. Throwing yourself into a community matter will take your mind off of a difficult situation. You tend to do something surprising when others least expect it; make sure you assess whether this will be wellreceiv­ed. This week: Pay attention to how you present yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might upset the apple cart by being self-indulgent. It might not be possible for you to reverse what has been done. However, you can tap into your self-discipline to prevent any further damage. Consider taking a step back for now.

This week: Not until Wednesday do you feel up to snuff.

Happy birthday

This year you touch base with many old friends. You also make new friends and broaden your horizons. How much you share of your personal life depends on your choices. Inspiratio­nal ideas just seem to come to you. Neverthele­ss, first test them out on someone who can be blunt with you. If you are single, you could meet someone whom you immediatel­y want to draw in closer. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you often plan on spending time together at home. These special periods strengthen your bond. CAPRICORN feels as if he or she knows more than you.
