Horoscope

By Jacqueline Bigar

Today’s birthday (Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014) This year you experience a lot of unexpected development in your relationships. These changes are not necessarily bad or good, so do your best to approach them with an open mind. If you are single, you will meet someone through a friend. It is also possible for a friendship to become more. This relationship could make you very happy, though this person might not be Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you manifest a long-term goal.

Aries (March 21-April 19) You could be unusually capricious and full of fun. A child or close loved one can’t seem to stay away from you. You might feel as if this person is like Velcro, as he or she tends to latch on to you. Tonight: Curb spontaneity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be expected to pick up the tab for others. If you feel uncomfortable, say so. Others might not realize the demand they have dropped in your lap. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a special dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 6666 Though you communicate with ease and get smiles from others, you could have an unexpected outburst. You might react to someone’s comment, even if it was not intended to be offensive. Tonight: All smiles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Much goes on behind the scenes that you might not want to discuss. You could feel confused by someone, as he or she seems to be transforming right in front of you. Tonight: Let others treat you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) 66666 You’ll smile and simply enjoy those around you. Get together with friends, even if it is for something like a ballgame. You might feel like letting off some steam. A loved one might approach you to have a long-overdue conversation. Tonight: Catch up on calls.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your interest in handling a situation a certain way could attract others’ attention. Your instincts will guide you with a risk and an emotional situation. Know when you have had enough. Tonight: Could be out till the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance in order to catch up on his or her news. You will be more upbeat after your chat, whether it is on the phone, in person or through email. You might feel pressured by a neighbor to make an appearance. Tonight: Be entertained.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Curb your spending if you don’t want to deal with the repercussions. You could find yourself a lot tighter financially than you want to be. Deal with a partner directly, and give up playing coy. Neither of you will be happy that way. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to listen to the other side of a problem before you get angry. Try to control your emotions. A friend could whisper a comment in your ear that will help you calm down. Express your gratitude appropriately. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll need to pace yourself in order to visit everyone you want to see and still get some much-needed errands done. A surprise could throw your personal and domestic plans in the air. Don’t get uptight; instead, just go with the flow. Tonight: Make it early.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be full of questions and want to ask them. You might want to understand why a partner or loved one has been acting so different. Know that the change has to do with this person, not you. Once you realize that, you’ll lighten up. Tonight: Flirty and fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Spend the day close to home or with your family. Fatigue seems to be playing a strong role in your plans. An important friendship might be on your mind. Touch base with that friend, and make plans to visit in the near future. Tonight: Head home early if you can. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult. Readers can write Jacqueline Bigar at jacquelinebigar.com.
