HOROSCOPE

FORECAST FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Choose to keep a low profile. Do what you need to do in order to make you happy and accomplished. Schedule a massage or opt for a snooze. Someone close needs a confidant, and you are it! Tonight: Make it early. This Week: You are a ball of fire on Monday. Don't hold back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you could pick exactly what you want to do and with whom, what would that be? Now is the time to start making this wish happen. You both might have a very special time together. Express your mellow centeredness. Tonight: Rest assured, you are where the action is. This Week: Lie low until Wednesday, when you hit one of your power days.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You profit from selectivity. Listen to all your options, and then decide. There is an element of unpredictability that stems from someone who has a lot of say in your life. Know when to say "enough." Others observe more closely than you realize. Tonight: Say "yes." This Week: Zero in on a heartfelt desire Monday and Tuesday, then let time fill in the blanks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Recognize that you, too, have limits, and like anyone else, you sometimes need to make a change in plans. You could be jolted by news that heads your direction. Let more kindness sweep into your relationship. Tonight: Play out a longtime dream, which might even look like scheduling a trip. This Week: The spotlight is on you. Success will follow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by so many choices. A partner seems more than ready to carry more responsibility in some mutual area of your lives. Do not be surprised by this person's abruptness or unpredictability. Just hang with it. Tonight: Could be quite snuggly. This Week: Explore options before committing later in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to someone else, and be ready to make that difference in a situation. A situation suddenly could drop on you, leaving you wondering who, what and where; keep communication going, and all works out. Tonight: Say "yes" to an offer. This Week: Deal directly with people Monday and Tuesday. Let your mind wander from Wednesday on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to try another approach or do something very differently. If you really want something to happen, you will have to do it yourself. Do not be upset by an unpredictable event. Just let it go. Tonight: Look for very relaxing. This Week: Defer to others, and you will make the next few days easier.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) No one can deny the strength of your libido, no matter how you express it. Be direct with someone, and expect only the same in return. Caring builds because of your own positive gestures. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live it up. This Week: Plunge into work on Monday. From Wednesday on, network.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds on the home front. How you see a situation and the choices you make could be interesting, to say the very least. Stay centered, knowing what it is you want from a situation. Tonight: Please keep a secret just that. This Week: You cannot control your very naughty side. Don't even try!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Start a habit of calling certain loved ones who live far away on Sundays. The good vibes will flow, and you will feel more connected to each other. Listen to a friend who really has your interest at heart. Tonight: Hanging out is fun when you're with the right people. This Week: You might move slowly into the week. By Wednesday, your ingenuity kicks in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Curb wild spending, and you will be much happier. Not everything is as it seems. You might want to rethink a question, especially if it involves your finances. Someone lets you know that he or she thinks you are the cat's meow. Tonight: Enjoy yourself without crumbling your budget. This Week: Explore options, and make needed calls. You will have a lot to think through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your unpredictability could put a damper on what could be a very good day. Others really cannot help but react. Express your caring rather than shocking those around you. A partner is cranky because he is tired. Tonight: Just wish upon a star. This Week: Be careful with expenses through Tuesday. Make calls, and be responsive from Wednesday on.
