Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017: This year you tend be rather feisty, but you might prefer to be more caring and peaceful. You’ll do your best to respect others’ views and avoid power plays. Don’t lose your focus, as you will create a happier environment with these values. If you are single, the issue is not drawing someone in — the issue is recognizing that not everyone you attract is right for you. Trust that you will know when you meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you relate with unusual caring and openness. You prefer to spend a lot of one-on-one time with your sweetie. Taurus might be stubborn, but he or she has a soft, caring side.
