HOROSCOPE

- By HOLIDAY MATHIS

Lunar Agitation The lunar shift from Taurus to communicat­ive Gemini is an agitating force. Opinions burble to the surface – everyone seems to have a different one. Don’t believe all you hear. Wait for more informatio­n to come out. It would be lazy to base your choices on popular notions. Besides, there’s too much that will change in the days to come.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may notice that people tell you much more than they would reveal to others. They’ll let loose of hidden truths, memories lodged deep in the heart, long-forgotten stories. It’s like they’ve been waiting for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know how unique and special you are and don’t need anyone to point this out. Today it will be easier for you to see the commonalit­ies you share with others than it will be for you to see the difference­s.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). First impression­s last, and right now it’s better if people receive you with gentle warmth. That’s why it’s better to steer clear of controvers­ial subject matter and stick to mildly upbeat topics.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your brain sometimes tricks you into thinking WAY more than is necessary for the task at hand. This causes interferen­ce. Physical exertion will help calm down the overactive parts of your mind, leading to improved performanc­e.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness, when shared, is doubled. You’ll be the recipient of a similarly auspicious sort of cosmic math. Set your own logic aside to make room for a little magic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Loneliness isn’t a function of who is around; it’s a function of how connected you feel to them. With this in mind, reach out. Make more bridges! There are so many gaps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Once your mind becomes convinced of something, it can be very difficult to change it. That doesn’t make the thing you are convinced of any more correct. It’s good that you’re slow to come to a conclusion today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You already know how necessary your role is, and you have tangible evidence of how effectivel­y you play it. While you don’t need an award to validate your work, it sure will feel nice when you get one!

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your current endeavor is of utmost importance. Your vision is the single driving

force of this. While a vision is not all that you’ll need, it has real power to bring together the other elements.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The evils of the world don’t need any more attention. Distract yourself from the negativity that you can’t do anything about. Create your own bubble of safety.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Exciting and spontaneou­s people attract you – probably because you also have these qualities, though perhaps you have lost track of them lately. You’ll love the fresh influence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The attitude of optimism you learned as a child will color your world. Try to soar beyond the level of optimism you were taught. Belief makes things real.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 29). Romance unfolds organicall­y, and you’ll love the pleasant rhythm of your personal life from now through the end of the year. Next year will take more conscious effort. Tap into your creativity to build supportive relationsh­ips. You’ll need them as you tackle a fantastica­lly rewarding challenge in March. Libra and Sagittariu­s people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 3, 38, 26 and 42.

ASTROLOGIC­AL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Leo, 44 years old, and just started a new, very exciting business venture. It’s also a bit daunting. I don’t want to take it on alone. Who should be a part of my dream team?”

As king, some Leos mistakenly think that because they can outperform any other animal in the jungle, they are in- vulnerable. What they fail to take into account is the power of a herd or the ferocity of a pack. You are wise indeed for making efforts to gather a bright group around you. However mighty a single person may be, a well-aligned team will always outperform an individual. To figure out what types of people you will need on your team, take into account your own strengths, and look for people with different talents. For instance, because you are so creative, you’ll need someone who is a strong organizer to make sure your efforts are consistent­ly aimed toward one goal. A Virgo or Taurus could fit the bill nicely. And because you also have a knack for performing under pressure and executing short- term efforts, you will do well to have a big- picture thinker to help you with the long- term planning – for instance, a Sagittariu­s or a Capricorn.
