People working things out together — it’s a form of love, or maybe it just is love. That’s what you’ll get today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The challenge on the table will take a certain amount of physical ability and a whole lot more brainwringing concentration.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 17): It’s a nonstop learning process this year. As soon as you master one area, you’ll move on to the next. At this rate, you’ll soon be at the top of your field of interest. Other delights of the solar return will include a visit from afar, unexpectedly generous gifts sprinkled through the seasons and fun updates to your domestic scene. Gemini and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 1, 27, 38 and 31.
