Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Sunday, Oct. 13. This year, you have the opportunity to head in a unique direction. You might weigh the pros and cons for a substantial period before deciding which way to go. If single, you meet many people but might note an explosive quality about relationships. This too will pass. If you’re attached, you and your partner have a newfound intensity. Learn to identify with your sweetie more often. ARIES can be volatile at times. Know that you often have the same issues but different approaches. Jacqueline Bigar
