HOROSCOPE

The Virgo moon can be a stickler. She wants to know the accuracy of all assertions, stories and general information. She requests factual evidence. You can channel this lunar energy in a helpful direction by questioning your own scene. Uncovering a fallacy and correcting it could greatly and immediately improve your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Every once in a while, you start to suspect that being good is seriously overrated. Being a little bit bad might feel liberating. Either way, a playful exuberance runs through everything you do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you will mostly be wrapped up in responsibilities you agreed to take

- ments to pay attention to exactly what you want to pay attention to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone already knows the way things have been done. It’s safe, comfortable and

familiar. You’ll come up with a new way. To give your idea the best chance at being accepted, privately work out the bugs before presenting it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The world responds to your youthful heart the way a good parent would, minimizing the reprimands, encouraging you to explore your environment and eliminating undue stress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Questions about your social circle arise, if only in your head. Do your peers promote your intellectual interests? If not, you’ll feel

have more in common.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A major theme of the day is that everyone is equal but not the same. You like the methods, beliefs and habits that work for you, but you don’t demand that others adopt the same ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being “in the zone” isn’t just for great moments in sports. You prove this today as you im-

(October 12 Friday)

merse yourself in a project and get in sync with everything around you to astounding effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because you want to connect with somewhere and how to meet them. It’s your willingness to meet the other person where they are that makes the connection possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have so much going for you that you could easily intimidate others. It wouldn’t hurt to be more humble than you think is necessary, just to counteract the potential backlash of jealous individuals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you love another person, your involvement is active. Your beloved will appreciate how you listen, react and generally demonstrate that you want to be an active participant in his or her life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your afternoon will be unusually busy, and it will help to remind yourself often to slow down and tend to what is truly important: your enjoyment of the experiences in your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your

social circle is abuzz with options and opportunities. It all happens because you put yourself across in a way that makes others want to be around you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY ( Oct. 12). Though you are clearly serious about what you do, humor eases the way. This month and next, many find your charms irresistible. December brings family additions. Your connection with the natural world, especially animals, will be highlighted in January. There’s movement on the career front in March. Taurus and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 39, 15 and 20.
