Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012: This year many doors open for you in various segments of your life. You have a mind that can stretch far and identify with many people. What you say you want could be a lot different from what your heart and soul yearn for. Whether you’re single or attached, this conflict could present a problem. If single, the person you attract who responds to these mixed signals might not be your choice for a partner in the long run. If attached, try to be more authentic, and your relationship will benefit. Capricorn can challenge you to be more practical. Do you really care? A baby born today has a sun in Libra and a moon in Capricorn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Treat a friend who rarely goes out to a leisurely brunch and/or a movie. You are more sensitive to this person than he or she is to him- or herself.
