Your Daily Horoscope
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 Daddy’s home! Or at least that’s what it feels like as retrograde Mercury and Saturn, the planet associated with fathers, align in Scorpio. There’s a judgment to be made and perhaps a punishment will be dealt, too. This sky reminds us that the best way to govern what you do is to govern first what you say and before that what you think. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 29). Don’t worry about changing the world this year. When you give your love, the world can’t help but change. An issue you have with your father or an authority figure will be resolved for good in November. December features a lucrative run of business. January brings an image change thanks to a career move. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 29, 42 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). One animal defense against danger is to take up more space by puffing up, standing tall and showing teeth. A person who reacts this way to you either respects you or fears you -- or maybe a little of both.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You won’t always feel like talking to people at the moment they feel like talking to you. You’ll have a conversation when you’re feeling relaxed and ready to have it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some people are harder to talk to than others, but you have a way of drawing out even the most challenging of subjects with your easy charm and noninvasive methods.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be in a choosy mood, especially when it comes to your social life. Though you’re knowledgeable, you feel that you have a lot to learn about life, and you want to be around people who obviously have something to teach you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Special relationships are built with rituals and stories that are specific to that bond. If some of the specialness seems to be waning from a relationship, take action to fortify it by creating standout experiences.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re free to speak and think the way you want to, though you may not feel inclined to stray far from the main consensus. There will be a reward, however, for pushing yourself to be a little more daring.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve had periods of wandering and doubt, and then you’ve had times of crystal clarity when your purpose was obvious. You don’t have to decide your path today, but at least try to remember what it felt like to be sure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Advanced thinkers take into consideration all that goes into the making of an end product. Immature thinkers see the end product and think “anyone could do that,” without considering the hundreds of steps involved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are not obligated to say what’s on your mind or confess your heart, though there may be a tremendous benefit to engaging in such dangerous honesty.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you’ll travel alone, you’ll bring three people to the day’s events: the you of your imaginings, the you other person see, and the you the way you are. Tonight, the three yous are so similar they could be triplets.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re going to defy the norm, do it big and don’t back down. It will only be worth it to go against the grain if you believe in your position enough to commit fully to the act without apology.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may choose a purpose that takes you from point A to point B, but you also have the sense that there’s a larger purpose for you that you have not thought of because it can’t be conceived; it can only be discovered.
