For Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016

- King Features Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your Sunday starts perfectly as you lounge around and catch up on a loved one’s news. Do not make plans with others; instead, luxuriate in the freedom of not having to do anything. Allow spontaneit­y to rule the day. This week: Use Thursday to the max.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be overwhelme­d by a roommate’s or family member’s requests and demands. Recognize that you are just one person, and try not to spread yourself too thin. You will feel better if you occasional­ly say “no.” This week: Your creativity emerges in the midst of confusion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can be quite chatty at times, and you’ll demonstrat­e that facet of your personalit­y today. A friend can’t help but laugh as you start to imitate different people. Your sense of humor draws a child closer to you. This week: Communicat­e what you feel is important.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t be surprised by a bout of insecurity. You might need to take some time for yourself to update your look or have a chat with a loved one who sees both your negative and positive qualities. You will quickly pull out of your present mood. This week: You might have to make an emotional decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not know what your plans are as you wake up. Don’t worry — you will be delighted by whatever happens. Some of you might isolate yourselves just to get some extra R and R. Put yourself first right now; worry about others later. This week: Decide to do more research about investment­s another time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to kick back for a day or so. You often run around helping others with a project, errands or whatever needs to be done. Take a day just for you. If you become bored, you’ll quickly figure out what to do. This week: You take charge by midweek.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be more possessive of a loved one than you have been in a long time. You tend to send out good vibes and draw in what you want. Ask yourself why you feel so insecure right now. Make an effort to remedy the issue. This week: Lie low until Thursday.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be pushed to handle a commitment that isn’t your responsibi­lity. Do not feel as if you must say “yes.” Choose what is best for you. Use caution with spending, especially if you feel tight on money. Being frivolous will only make you more insecure. This week: Take a stand. Zero in on what you want.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might not discover how complicate­d a situation really is until the last moment. If you need to bail out, do. It would be helpful to you to detach and look at the big picture. Your perspectiv­e could change radically as a result. This week: You take in a new view and are willing to reach out to others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You appreciate the benefits of one-on-one business conversati­ons more than other signs do. The same goes for your personal life. Do not hesitate to initiate a talk, especially if you are uncomforta­ble with a recent event or comment. This week: A talk on Monday could determine how the week unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might have planned the perfect Sunday, only to be met with interferen­ce. Instead of getting on your high horse, relax and adjust. You have a tendency to become rigid. Don’t allow this to happen today. This week: A discussion with a loved one might not go as you had intended.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t make a big deal out of turning down invitation­s to go out in order to simply relax at home. You have a hobby you love, so make it OK to dedicate some hours to this pastime. This week: An interactio­n triggers activity that might affect your work schedule.

Happy birthday

This year you become more caring. You also make your mark in the profession­al world. Others enjoy having your upbeat spirit around them. Your instincts prove to be right-on more often than not. Recognize how much you have to offer. If you are single, you meet many people, but only you can decide who would be the best choice for you. Be careful, as you are likely to meet someone who is not emotionall­y available. If you are attached, the two of you can be quite a dynamic couple. Many of your friends will try to emulate your relationsh­ip. Be flattered. LEO likes your style.
