HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Before you can become more powerful in a situation, it is important to figure out where the power already lies.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The success won’t come from working on tasks; it will come from completing them.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): It’s better to purge and prune your to-do list than to have a bunch of wishful thinking weighting down the bottom of it.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You need just a few more friends, preferably observant and responsive ones who will highlight the qualities that familiar people aren’t seeing today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll gain much from osmosis today, so don’t worry too much about trying, striving or even learning. It’s all about with whom you surround yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t have to do everything right (or anything at all) to be worthy of love and support, including and especially your own.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you occasionally let yourself down, it’s only because you don’t know yourself well enough to find the leverage and inspiration you need to steer the wilder side of you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Worry is just bad feelings about unrealities. Why bother to weave stress around an idea?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): There’s a point in which you’ll want to give up; however, once you push past that, you’ll be able to go twice as far.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you knew you would get what you focused on, what would you focus on? Choose carefully today. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t meet a single

person today from which you can’t learn something. The art is in figuring out what there is to learn, and you might not come up with it right away.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You set the bar pretty high for a project and you’ll definitely get into the ballpark if you keep at it.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 21): It’s taken awhile to get to where you’re so happy with yourself that truly no one else’s opinion matters. You’ll confidently dive into a fascinating and risky venture and see profits. Love follows you everywhere, taking different forms — affection, support, camaraderie, passion and even responsibility. Scorpio and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers: 9, 3, 33, 28 and 45.
