HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Oct. 9, 2020: Multitalented, sensitive and inspirational, you have a penetrating gaze that sees into others’ lives.

If single, you are variously involved, sometimes when you shouldn’t be. No serious commitment until next April. If attached, you’re bound at the hip. LIBRA is the best hip partner.
