Horoscope: Oct. 11

Aries (March 21-April 19): Be careful not to impose too many rules on yourself now, because you’re in a rebellious mood.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): As long as you’re making improvements, why not make drastic ones? Think bigger and more extreme.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Sometimes you feel guilty about taking off for “me time,” and yet you really needn’t.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): To listen only to the dictates of your own wishes would be a mistake. You are surrounded by well-intentioned teachers.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There are some intelligent cynics around, but you’ll notice that none of them is as successful as their smart, optimistic counterparts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll express yourself more fully when you’re with one who really understands you. If you don’t feel like you know such a person, keep casually reaching out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It will be important to separate reality from the emotions you attach to reality. It will benefit you to admit that your way of viewing things may not be the end-all-be-all point of reference.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your consideration of others will be of utmost importance. Ask yourself whom your actions will affect.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll get an interesting, knotty problem and the satisfaction and confidence that come from finding an excellent solution.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Though it may be inappropriate to ask individuals how they made their money, with research, you’ll find many lucrative pathways.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): All you can do is all you can do. When you reach that point, you’ll be satisfied that you tried your hardest, no matter what the outcome is.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You weren’t born with the attitude that makes you a success. You have to choose it and then get up the next day and choose it again.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 11): You will attain your dream of doing the extraordinary. You’ll put events on your calendar and take the daily steps to move toward them. Family victories are your own in November. Finances improve in December. January brings tenderness to a special relationship. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 11, 21, 16 and 50.
