HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): With the world rolling ever forward, which traditions do you want to keep and which do you want to leave behind?

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There are things that are clearly not going to work out no matter how much effort goes into them. Put them in the “won’t” pile, not the “can’t” pile.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll steer clear of potentially addictive games and products that you don’t want to need.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It would seem that you choose whom you want to choose, yet what’s actually going on is that you’re limited to the options you see in your immediate environment. So how free really is your choice?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today’s happiness depends on what you’re willing to do to achieve it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Because of your increased curiosity and awareness of the world, you’ll notice something wonderful today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The old things need to go away so you have room for the new things to come into your realm.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are some things you can leave to chance that will have better results than if you hadn’t. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’re powerful, partly because it’s not your goal to be. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The gentle stirring of the trees isn’t much, but it’s an indicator of the magnificent storm that’s coming.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Any fool can cheat when dealt a bad hand of cards. It’s more important to play fairly when you have a winning hand. Hold yourself to high standards.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ve already formed an opinion about it. Not many have. Therefore, if someone else seconds that opinion, you’ll not only agree but also consider that person to be a sort of kindred.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 9): Try not to impose too many rules on yourself going into this new chapter, because you’re in a rebellious mood. Your energy is high, and you’re ready for challenge, not restriction. Changes at work bring more fun and greater balance to your life. Expect exciting family additions. Financial highs: now, November and June. Cancer and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 4, 44 and 19.
