HOROSCOPE

FORECAST FOR THURSDAY, OCT. 26, 2006

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Opportunity strikes if and when you look past uproar or upset. You might want to question if reframing a situation might help. The power of perspective and mental outlook will become apparent. Tonight: Chill out to music.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be frazzled because of what you feel and hear. Remember, you can also decide the facts aren't there yet, or someone might not be as detail-oriented as you might like. Tonight: Talk to a partner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others command your attention, and perhaps not in a positive manner. Think in terms of potential gains and growth through letting someone run with the ball. If you think this person is wrong, you might be giving him or her an opportunity to see just that. Tonight: Listen to great music.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Easy does it. Honor a change of tune or decide to go in a new direction. You have a propensity to overreact, especially when overwhelmed. A financial risk is unavoidable. Listen to news that heads in your direction. Tonight: You need some time off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Investigate facts with an eye to adding to your creativity and ability to sleuth through a problem. You can find solutions if you integrate different aspects of an issue. An associate or partner could act strangely. Tonight: The wild card hits financially.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You feel as if you are on a roller-coaster ride. You are tired and looking at a situation differently, and your nerves are frayed. Someone in your immediate environment acts up out of the blue. Honor a family member's needs. Tonight: Cocoon at home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Knowing that you have alternatives will help you deal with the unexpected that seems to run through your life. You could be easily overwhelmed by all that is going down. Choose to take events as a challenge. Tonight: Meet a friend; swap war stories.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Every time you come up with a brainy (or so you think) idea, an obstacle gets tossed in your path. You find others more willing to tell you no than ever before. Think positively, and you'll jump over today's hurdles. Tonight: Treat yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are on top of your game. Listen to your sixth sense. Be innovative. The incredible imagination you have needs to be put to use and funneled accordingly. Make no money commitments. You could change your tune later. Tonight: Your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Though you might be overwhelmed by what comes down your path, you cannot put a halt to it. Listen to your intuition right now, especially as you might not be comfortable or centered. Hold action until later. Tonight: Very happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Head for what you want, whether you develop a mind-set toward a long-term desire or take an action. Move early in the day to maximize your success. You need to withdraw and do something very different. Tonight: Some time off.
