HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 16). You're brilliant and charming. Learn what you need to know and teach what you've mastered. Others seek your advice in October. Gain through strategic planning in November. A surprising development thwarts travel in December. A post dream is revived in February. Pay off an old debt in May. Celebrate with a romantic jaundish in June. Respect your elders in July and clean out your closets in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Postpone travel until tomorrow if you can. Have friends visit you instead. Your get-together could include some neighbors, too. Somebody nearby knows something you've been trying to find out about for ages.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
You could put the pennies you save with coupons into an interest-paying account. That's like having another coupon — at the bank! You have the self-discipline to do this. It'd be like pennies from heaven. This is a great day to start.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Just because you think you're right, doesn't mean you are. Somebody else may still disagree with you—and with good reason. Yeah, you're cute, but when you listen and put in a correction, you'll look even better.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
If you want to know what's going on, listen at keyholes. The changes upsetting your routine make sense once you understand the master plan. You're a good strategist. You can figure it out. Somebody you ask could blab.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You'd like your sweetheart to love everything you do — and all your friends, too. That may be too much to ask. If a loved one begs off on your excursion, don't worry. It's OK to have your own interests.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Don't let things get out of control even if you have to put your foot down. You like to keep a low profile and get along, but today you may have to speak up. Do it to keep others from making a horrendous mess.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
A surprising development could change your travel plans. Stay alert. If you're going to be on the highway, listen to the radio traffic updates. Don't get talking with your passenger and zip right by your off-ram, either.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
If you get a bonus or find an extra stash of cash in an old purse, should you spend it on treats for yourself now or save it for some emergency later? If you have to ask, you probably ought to save it.
Sugartius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
If you hold out for what you want, you might get it. Be as unreasonable as possible. Act a little crazy and unpredictable. Don't do this with your boss or a cop, however. Only do it with the competition or your mate.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
All heck could break loose at work. Something you thought was fixed could fly apart. Pay attention to what you're doing and to what everybody else is doing, too. Prevent a mess and be the hero.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9.
How about starting off your week with a bit of romance? A delicious encounter with your soul mate on a Monday? Sounds crazy, but you love being different. Either early or late should work marvelously.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Call and let the boss know if you're gonna sleep in or want to leave early. Be supportive. He or she needs all the help they can get. Don't be a distraction even if you have problems of your own. Offer a solution instead.
