Horoscope: Oct. 18

Aries (March 21-April 19): The job you’re doing might not thrill you, but someone else would consider it a real treat. Hand it off. Do something you really want to do.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll deal with those who have money and influence and learn how to wield your own resources with more grace and style.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your fantasy life could run a bit amok. With your head in the clouds, you could miss out on all the good stuff. Come back to Earth.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your creativity will be rewarded. First you have to publicize, though. If no one knows what you’re doing, it will be hard to gain supporters and make money at it!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be teaming up to accomplish something important. Look for a partner who is serious about succeeding.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t be an expert at everything. Certain schools of thought do not strike a chord with you. If you don’t get it, it’s not yours to get.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The one who answers your calls and fulfills your requests is a true friend. Make plans to celebrate this person in the near future.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Thanks to new methods of expression available to you, you’ll get to share what you know and love with the rest of the world.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s such a thing as overexposure, but you haven’t reached that level yet. You can still afford to make yourself more visible.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re quick, sharp and efficient in your dealings. It’s not the same for everyone. Be compassionate; share your talent.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The more interested you are in the object of your desire, the luckier you’ll get. And if you are willing to learn everything there is to know, your fortunes will multiply.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Though you are sensitive, you are also flexible. Your powers of adaptation will be put to excellent use.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 18): You have clear standards, and you’ll attract worthy partners to help you achieve your aims. That’s why the team victory in December is also a personal victory for you. Stash away some of the bonus money you get in November. Celebrations delight you in January. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers: 6, 3, 44, 29 and 18.
