HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your spirit is so big that its warmth breaks down barriers and defies the boundaries of space and time. You can be there for people without being there with them.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Having a thing is different from achieving it. You will most enjoy the processes you’ve anticipated.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll adjust your energy to the room, subduing it and then slowly turning it up to arrive at a more joyful and expressive place together.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’re like a chef, managing the ripeness of your ingredients so that you can use them at the exact optimum time they will taste the best.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The path before you will be smoothed by people who like you and want you to have an easier time than you’ve had.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enthusiasm is an attractive emotion, especially when it’s dialed to a level that the other person can accept.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll deal with a wide variety of communication styles, some vague and imprecise. Most likely, they mean what you think they mean.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Once you recognize the rewards you get from bad habits, you can find other ways of reaching that end.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’re better off assuming that you can improve the world than believing you can’t. You’ll only find out what you can do after you’ve made your move.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be waving goodbye to an unwanted burden soon enough, so you may as well make the most of its presence. There are gifts inside even the most inconvenient facts of life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep some novelty in the back of the closet so you can bring it out to dazzling effect when no one is expecting it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Outsiders assume success depends on factors that may not have anything to do with it. Drop your previous notions and get in deeper. It’s different on the inside.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 24): The older you get, the younger your mind becomes as your sense of curiosity keeps the inspiration flowing through the solar year. Your need to explore is as real as your need for food, and you’ll find a way to adventure wondrously. Conflict resolves in February. Family will be the source of surprise, delight and support. Gemini and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers: 8, 60, 4, 40 and 1.
