Horoscope: Oct. 21

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re so confident now that you can strike “Do you know what I mean?” from your conversational bag of tricks. You actually don’t even care what others think.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Just because you live or work with someone doesn’t mean you know everything about that person. You’ll love the surprising new information you learn today.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are near the one who will help you solve your problem, but you won’t know who it is until you start talking about what you need.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your values are different from those of the one you admire so much. However, don’t change. Your unique way of thinking is part of your strength.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Since the spotlight isn’t on you today, you have time to prepare for your next big “number.” By tomorrow you’ll be ready for a new wave of attention.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll likely take some time to explore your beliefs — or lack thereof — about life forces that you cannot see, touch or hear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A can-do spirit drives you forward. But share your plans with friends and colleagues so that when you need encouragement it will be there for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Talking about what you’re going to do is part of your process. However, be careful not to say too much to anyone. A little goes a long way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll enjoy some of the silliness that comes out of the high energy of the day. Still, you really want to get things done. Help those around you stay on track.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can sense what is going to happen next, because you’ve seen a similar situation and can read the signs.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Staying focused doesn’t always have to mean staying serious. Go with the playful, impulsive mood of the moment, and you’ll land in a sweet situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Stay lighthearted. Don’t worry if you’ve made the right choice. Whatever you do, you’ll learn from it.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 21): Finances are shaping up. You’ll wheel and deal your way into a prime position over the next 10 weeks. A debt will clear in November. Pisces and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 30, 1, 24, 39 and 18.
