Horoscope: Oct. 19

Aries (March 21-April 19): Yes, there is an obstacle in your way. Once you get over this first hurdle, though, you’ll be off and running at an exciting pace.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sometimes the prospect of change makes you feel fearful. That’s what makes today so interesting — you know things will change, and you’re excited about it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are moving forward with several projects at once. It’s a slow process. Add new members to your team to help with this endeavor.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Creatively, you’re on fire with ideas! The only frustrating part is that the people around you are not quite as enthusiastic.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Everyone seems to have a solution for your problem. Put serious consideration into their proposals before you sign up. You’ll have to make a solid commitment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): On the bright side, your need for constant excitement speaks to your high intelligence. However, you need to eliminate some of the distractions around you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll hit a wave of enthusiasm and focus on the positive results that are likely to come. The momentum carries through tomorrow too.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your group will have a success. Be aware of precisely what you did. This will help you to re-create the winning strategy later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be leading others again. Before you start, make sure your group is on board for the journey.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If given too much time to complete a task, the task becomes harder because you’ll consider unnecessary options. Keep it simple, and finish it fast.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Identify your talents again. You left some of them out last time you checked. Account for them.
