Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Tuesday, Oct. 16. This year you open up to different ideas, slowly and with grace. Others who interact with you on a regular basis could find their ideas transforming as a result. Basic changes could occur around your home. Some of you might move; others may remodel or buy a new home. If you are single, you meet people with ease. However, settling into a relationship might not occur until the second half of 2019. If you are attached, the two of you often can be found together at home. You enjoy each other’s company. CAPRICORN is a realistic adviser.

Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★

Your interactions with a higher-up remind you of the power and control others like to wield. You understand your inner power, and you refuse to become engaged in others’ issues. Go off, network and work on an important relationship. Tonight: Relating individually would be best.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): ★★★★

Information you receive forces you to reassess certain decisions. Though at first you might be upset, as you process, you’ll see the strength of this new position. An associate encourages you to move forward and not worry about what is next. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): ★★★★★

Your strength emerges when relating on a one-onone level. You might agree with another person, and vice versa. You can bridge a problem by accepting that not everyone thinks as you do. Do not sign off on any joint ventures right now. Tonight: A talk could be intense.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): ★★★★

Others might not realize how challenging they really are. In fact, you cannot seem to make a decision without them. Your sense of humor kicks in, which helps lighten up the moment. Trust your creativity and ingenuity to come forward for you. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★★

As charming as you are, some people will not respond as you might like. Someone who is into control games is unlikely to acquiesce to your graceful or engaging ways. Maintain a positive outlook and breeze past difficult, power-happy people. Tonight: A surprise greets you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ★★★★

One-on-one relating will be positive if you can escape the shackles of a control game. The only way to win is to become oblivious to the other party’s games. Your perception is likely to open up a conversation. You can only benefit from such a situation. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Libra (Sept. 23- Oct. 22): ★★★★

Your ability to tell it like it is emerges. You can say nearly anything to someone because of your verbal skills. People sometimes have strong reactions after they internalize the meaning of your words. You might want to prepare for this. Tonight: Happily nested at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ★★★★★

You might have difficulty identifying with others. You will see that there is an appropriate response once everyone realizes and feels free to share their opinions. Do not encourage someone to do something that he or she might regret later. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): ★★★★

Your ability to bypass difficult people emerges. You might not like what you see. Not playing into others’ issues often forces them to look at themselves. This response might not occur immediately, but it will in time. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Out and about.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ★★★★

Listen to what someone else is sharing and the possibilities that surround a certain decision. You might have more options in front of you than you realize. Investigate news with an eye to whether it is factual. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Go for more of what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): ★★★

Your unique approach and perception could make all the difference in how a difficult situation resolves itself. Right now your views might not be appreciated. Open up to new ideas and weigh the pros and cons -at least to yourself. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): ★★★★

A meeting points you in the right direction and toward the right choices. Your ability to move forward without being distracted might be a challenge. Your mind tends to float from one topic to another. A friend means well, but might push you too hard. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
