Horoscope:

For Friday, Oct. 9, 2020 ARIES ( March 21 to April 19)

Today you have a choice. You have tremendous energy that you can use for good or for bad. You can get a lot done or have power struggles with others. What’s it going to be?

TAURUS ( April 20 to May 20)

Whatever you do today, do not be underhanded or dishonest, because you won’t get away with it. If you take shortcuts to what you want, things will blow up in your face.

GEMINI ( May 21 to June 20)

You might convince a friend or a group to help you today. But if you push too hard, they will rebel and run over you. Be careful!

CANCER ( June 21 to July 22)

Today your ambition is so strong, you might be ruthless about going after what you want. This won’t work. If you are ruthless, you will create opposition to you.

LEO ( July 23 to Aug. 22)

Steer clear of arguments about politics, religion and racial issues, because they will get nasty today. People are not logical. ( There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.)

VIRGO ( Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Disputes about shared property, money, inheritances or insurance issues could be nasty today. Remember that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

LIBRA ( Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Patience is the antidote to anger. Today you will need to be patient with close friends and partners because people are too aggressive. ( You, too.)

SCORPIO ( Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You can get a lot of work done today if you are reasonable. Don’t step on other people’s toes and don’t be insensitive to what other people want. Be smart.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Lovers’ quarrels will be nasty today. ( Basically, they are power struggles.) Meanwhile, parents need to be patient with their kids to avoid meltdowns. Stay chill.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Domestic arguments might arise today because people insist on having their own way. However, with cooperation, you will get a lot done today! Think about this possibility.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

This is a highly argumentative day because people are opinionated and pushy. But the more they argue, the more others will disagree with them. ( Steer clear of this insanity.)

PISCES ( Feb. 19 to March 20)

Money disputes or arguments about something that you own might arise today. Do not be too forceful, because things will backfire. Be reasonable.

YOU BORN TODAY

You are empathetic and caring for others, which is why people sometimes end up depending on you. This is an exciting year of change and new opportunities! You will encounter adventure and stimulating situations. If possible ( maybe not), explore opportunities to travel and expand your world through learning. Welcome change! Let your personal freedom be your goal this year.
