HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22): This year brings exceptional circumstances far beyond the magnitude of what typically occurs in your world. Your lucky numbers are: 22, 18, 4, 9 and 32.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Start with you. If you’re not compassionate and kindhearted toward yourself, you’ll resent whatever generosity you give others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Every communication requires interpretation, and there’s always a little something lost in the translation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There are many ways to see it. The first one that comes to mind may put you in a down position. How many other ways can you see it? CANCER (June 22-July 22): Variety will serve you well in all things, especially variety of thought. One way of thinking gets as boring as eating only one food or hearing the same song over and over.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your compassion will be put to the test. Keep in mind that those who don’t feel well are using a lot of energy to just to do the baseline normal things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The advice you get today will be like something you buy at a high-end store. The quality may be there, but if you try it on and it doesn’t fit, the quality is beside the point.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What do you think about your own behavior? You haven’t stopped to consider this in a little while, but it matters. Give yourself the room to reflect and regroup.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everyone is toting a pocket full of personal prejudice. Their thought processes have little to do with you, and a lot to do with what’s in that pocket. So there’s no use worrying what they think of you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today, it’s not absolutely clear what is true and what isn’t, so maybe ponder other things, for instance, who you want to be in the world and what you would need to believe to get there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe those who are supposed to be supporting you do not, in fact, have what you need. You can’t let it stop you. Hold onto hope and look elsewhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some say love makes the world go ‘round; others credit misunderstanding with the rotation. As for you, it’s still unclear which you’re chasing after today, love or a misunderstanding about love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People took from you. What they took they gave. You’re richer for learning how to support yourself when they didn’t, and you love truer because you know the difference.
