HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 7).
If you are worried about money, do not be. You need to set up an agenda, and it is a good time to start. You do not have to be perfect. December is about putting in corrections. Go to visit friends in late December and January, and spur them to take action.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
Mars, the planet of aggression, goes into Virgo, which is in your solar's sixth house of service. You will be taking care of others for the next few weeks, making their lives work, whether they like it or not. If you approach this in a positive way, you will accomplish great things
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
Mars, symbolizing assertion, is going into Virgo today.
Consequently, you will be confident in your love life for the next several weeks. Instead of waiting to get what you want, ask for it. You may also have to work for it, but if you and your sweetheart are working together, that will be fun.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
The themes are perfection and finishing old business. This is not a burden. It is how dreams come true. You have got a dream, and it has to do with stability, security and love. It could happen. If you have already got that in your life, you can keep it. That is your lesson. Pay attention.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Cancer June 22- July 22) Today's a 6.
Virgo is in your solar's third house of education today,
so you will take on learning with vigor. Pity the poor per
son who gets in your way! You want the facts. Guess
what? The more you get, the more you will earn. Education
and financial rewards are also closely linked.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
See Day 23-May 22. Today is a S.
Today you will be more assertive regarding money,
since Virga is in your second house of finances. That
sometimes means you want to spend more money,
but not necessarily. You will get wiser about how to
spend your money and make it stretch further.
Virga (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 7.
Mars goes into your sign today, and it brings vigor wherever it goes. It is the sign of the athlete and warrior. Your preferences will become definite. Make sure others know how important these things are. You may draw more attention than you are used to, but you will get used to it.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 10.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 5.
You and your friends can make wonderful things happen, but you will have to get realistic. How are you going to pay for it all? There is a way, and you can figure out what it is. Do not expect others to make this decision for you. If you have to pay it back, you should make the choice.
An idea you have been working on is about to take off. You know what needs to be done, but you have not had the resources to pull the whole thing off. That is about to change. It looks like people are excited to get started; all they need is a little direction. That is where you come in.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Today your life will be a little more difficult. If you have forgotten anything, Virgos point it out. They see that as their duty. With Mars in their sign, they will take on that job with renewed vigor. Make sure everything you do is perfect. If you do not, a Virgo will be delighted to remind you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18; Today is a 5.
Pinpoint accuracy is required, especially where money is concerned. That goes double if joint finances are involved, including money you are trying to borrow.
You will have to be precise about what you want it for, and, of course, how you are going to pay it back.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20); Today is α 5.
Mars is going into Virgo today, and that helps a lot. It will motivate you to try new things. There is a group of three earth signs right now, which helps even more. It means the new things you take on will prove beneficial. Do not hold back. Get involved.
It is easy to figure out the details today, especially if you have help from a sharp partner. You want to get everything straight in your mind before you go into negotiations. The other people may not have done the homework quite as well as you have. This slight advantage could make all the difference.

That year, Ripken Sr. replaced Ripken Jr. late in a game, ending Cal Jr.'s streak of 8,243 consecutive innings played. Ripken Sr. was rehired as Orioles third base coach in 1989, but was dismissed at the end of the 1992 season.
