HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.

13): You’ll impress a VIP this year, and that very important person is you. Scorpio and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 29, 22 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You add a dash of humor and stir in some charm. You’ll meet those with opposing views, but you’ll make your differences a moot point.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Small kindnesses shown to loved ones in daily domestic settings are the mark of a genuinely loving heart.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Don’t assume to know who you’re dealing with. People aren’t always who you want them to be. So learn who they are, and love that person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your standards are high, and you’ll have to put in many hours to bring the vision alive. This has not stopped you from being a playful person. Your creativity will shine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even though you love to learn, sometimes you just wish you could get the skills and information you need a lot faster. Maybe you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ideas just keep coming! One caution — before you go public with your brainchildren, double check to be sure that you are their actual, original parent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Getting what you wish for — that’s tricky business. Pay attention to all that happens during and immediately after you’re holding what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Though you can’t handle every piece of minutia about life, you still need to give the impression that you’re looking out for your own interests.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have the power to take hold of your routine and shake it up. The benefit to this is that you’ll see a way to save yourself some trouble and time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Even though you may like what you’re doing, this is the moment to think about the projects you’d like to be involved in. Fantasize! What if you could really do anything?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You like knowing that you have a support system and friends that stand behind you. Don’t feel guilty about needing your space.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You feel somehow healthier and more full of life around a certain person. That’s because you actually are. Good relationships change you physically for the better.
