HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): The mighty warrior knows that battling is one way to the victory, but it’s not the only way. Negotiation will serve you well today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): To keep the peace you may have to let a few things slide. It’s in your best interest not to be difficult.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re excellent at paying attention to others in a casual, low-key way that winds up somehow making them feel very special.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll find out where to get training to improve an area of life in which you’ve been ailing or ignorant. This is the start of something good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You could be feeling reserved. But start up a conversation. One connection will lead to another.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

It’s not like you’re searching for kindness, but when you accidentally stumble across it today you’ll realize how much you needed it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What starts as a gentle plan will quickly turn into something that creates change in many areas of your life all at once. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Certain rituals make you feel in control because they remind you that you’re a person who cares about order and beauty.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ll hit a pocket of very interesting chaos. Observe, but not too close up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve an uncanny sense of timing. You pick up on the pulse of things around you and can ride and participate without missing a beat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Things happened in one order, but you may choose to relay them in a different order, which changes things.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t ask if they know what you mean. The ones who do know will find the question superfluous and the ones who don’t are a lost cause. If you know what you mean, that’s enough. Go forward in confidence.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 26): You reach out. You give. You build. You’re mostly just following the leanings of your heart in all this, though you never can tell whence your next string of good luck will begin. Business flows to you with the surge of December popularity. A competition is featured in April; the preparation is its own benefit. Capricorn and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 33, 12 and 28.
