HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): If you’re not compassionate toward yourself, you’ll resent whatever generosity you give others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There’s always a little something lost in the translation, but today you’ll get as close to pure communication as is humanly possible.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): There are many ways to see a situation if you’re openminded. How many other ways can you see it?

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Variety will serve you well in all things, especially variety of thought. Welcome those who challenge your mindset.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your compassion and sensitivity will be put to the test. Keep in mind that people often try to hide their true motives. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The advice you get today will

be like something you buy at a high-end store. The quality may be there, but if you try it on and it doesn’t fit, the quality really is beside the point.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What do you think about your own behavior? Time for a check-in. Give yourself the room to reflect and regroup.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everyone is toting a pocket full of personal prejudice. So there’s no use worrying what they think of you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Today, it’s not absolutely clear what is true and what isn’t, so maybe ponder other things, for instance, who you want to be in the world and what you would need to believe to get there.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe those who are supposed to be supporting you do not, in fact, have what you need. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some say love makes the world go ’round; others credit

misunderstanding with the rotation. As for you, it’s still unclear which you’re chasing after today, love or a misunderstanding about love. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re stronger for dealing with weakness, and richer for learning how to support yourself.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 22): That a thrill! This year brings exceptional circumstances far beyond the magnitude of what typically occurs in your world. Highlights will include love that sets you off balance and has your heart leaping, some professional validation to revel in and a truly glorious meeting of the minds. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 22, 18, 4, 9 and 32.
