HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 21, 2019:

This year, you experience different facets of living. Often you enjoy being the recluse hiding out, yet other times you love being king or queen of the social scene. You will draw results when you know what you want. If single, you will meet someone through a friendship. If attached, your sweetie flexes well with you. Your partner enjoys your quiet periods, especially if you are together. Dote on your significant other as he or she does on you. Nurturing remains key to your bond. LEO makes you laugh.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Pulling away from someone who could be clingy and needy might be necessary for you to flourish. Once you do so, your playfulness emerges, creating excitement and stimulating many good ideas. One of these gems could impact love and/or finances. Tonight: Surprises can happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ Make calls while you can in the a.m. The pace quickens in the afternoon, and you will want to be supportive and present for a loved one or friend. What emerges from an afternoon discussion leads to unusual success. Tonight: Discuss feelings rather than act on them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Assessing your financial situation could make you feel uneasy and sometimes touchy. Later in the day, return calls and return to your normally swift living pace. A boss or older relative shares a lot. Listen. Tonight: Stay cool, calm and collected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Curb spending and honour a fast change of pace. Until you arrive at the other end of what is occurring, make no commitments. You might be surprised at what comes up for you after mulling over recent events. Tonight: Complete an errand on the way home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ Do not judge yourself harshly even if you feel you are very slow to get started. You need that period. Once the afternoon arrives, you will scarcely have time to think, but you will feel a lot. Tonight: Do not worry. Follow your feelings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ You know when and how to pull back. A meeting in the morning could prove more provocative than you originally thought possible. You might want some extra time to deal with some of the ideas that the meeting spawned. Tonight: Do your thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Depending on your mood, you react differently to pressure. Deal with what comes down in the a.m. Your resourcefulness kicks in this morning and your resilience emerges. You know that you will find the right timing and answers to whatever issue you might be dealing with. Tonight: Surround yourself with people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Defer to a loved one who you care enormously about. Understand what is happening with a loved one or child. You might need to walk in this person’s shoes. Late-day responsibilities seem to drop on you from nowhere. Tonight: If someone wants to be flakey, let it happen. You can’t change this person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ One-on-one relating is highlighted. The other party enjoys all your attention. Take an overview and be open to new ideas. A matter revolving around your home might not be as clear as you would like. Tonight: Consider scheduling a minitrip.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Others seek you out en masse. You know how to handle an onslaught of popularity. You also sense a different energy revolving around an idea, conversation or interactions. Verify what you feel. Tonight: With a favourite person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You have a clear objective and are determined to follow through. By afternoon, you have so many people and activities around you that you might lose track of your responsibilities for the day. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Your imagination can be overly active in the a.m. You keep adding on — at least in your mind — to others’ statements, projects and ideas in general. Attempt to stay centered. Tonight: Working till the wee hours.
