HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 30).
You could strike it rich this year, but can you keep your winnings? This isn't a gamble; it's a shrewd move. Do the calculations in October. Get an expert to check them in November. The treasure's flowing your way in December; be wise enough to hold it. Divert some to a far away, safe place before January. Sell household items, or real estate in February. An old penincher is your best adviser in May. Read the fine print carefully in June. You can achieve your goal by July. Let your hair down with friends in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Arles (march 21- April 19) — Today is a 7.
You're still in a holiday mood, whether you're back at work or not. You may feel like taking risks, but watch out. You're liable to be reminded of the rules in a way you don't like. Exercise good judgment. It's a handy skill.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Tuesdays (April 20-24) may be over the weekend, you should be first in line for the bargains. This is work, but you're great at it. If you're spending somebody else's money, you'll be making bonus points.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
This would be a fine day to travel with a fascinating companion. Opposites attract, and you never gored bieve with each other. Obligations could interer, but don't let them stop you. Get as far as you can in the time you have.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) 10:59 a.m.
Your work, although not easy, should be interesting. You might get to show off your talents. If you're not doing the job you love yet, you might get a glimpse of it. Knowing where you're going is always helpful, even if you won't get there for a while.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
Concentrating may be hard. Your mind is on fun and games. Is romance in your future? Wait! There's more work to do first. Don't forget your job, or you'll have more worries than you need.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
This could be a slow day. You may wish you were back in bed. If you have to go to work, don't complain. You might solve a puzzle that's been driving you crazy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) $\rightarrow$ Today is an 8.
Libra (sep. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is 8.
You're as cute as a button — and charming, too.
You may know somebody else who fits that description.
An intellectual type is fascinating, but a gambler's got your heart. Making a decision is always the most difficult part.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
How about getting that thing you always wanted for the house? Your night to howl is coming soon. Get ready — there's not a moment to lose!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Sogittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
You could have an interesting conversation today with a person who can teach you a lot. But some information should stay confidential. Making sure that happens could take work on your part. Plug up those keyholes!
Capcom (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — today is 7:47.
You've got good common sense, and today it could serve you well. A change in your regular routine could cost you money. Better pencil it out before you offer to do it for free. Tell them you'll get back to them on that.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Something's cramping your style. Someone's putting a damper on your enthusiasm — or is trying. Don't worry. You and friends can get together later. You can even dress up in disguises, so nobody will know who you are.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You don't like to be sneaky, but you may not want to run into somebody — socially, that is.
Well, you're pretty good at becoming invisible.
Make sure you meet a deadline so you don't draw attention to yourself.
