Horoscopes: Friday, Oct. 28, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Day holds golden potential, particularly in the morning hours. Even if you don’t mean to create beauty, you will. Because you can’t resist making things and once you get involved, your taste and preferences make the rest inevitable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, of wasted hours by doing your research before setting your aim. Start with someone who already has what you’re after. Are they happy with it? Ask for tips.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Remember when you couldn’t get motivated? But you made it easy for yourself, pushed for one tiny step, then a little more and more … now you’re well on your way. You can use your experience to help someone else.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Kindness is your rule. It doesn’t always work out that way but as you set the intention repeatedly, you work toward a state of being in which the kind thing to do is your automatic default.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may notice yourself seeking validation from someone. You don’t need this, especially since it gives that person the chance to invalidate you as well. If anyone is going to give you points for good behavior, let it be you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Long ago you got in the way of your own success. This time around, you’ll do it differently. It’s not an identical situation, but it’s alike enough to give you the satisfaction of directly applying what you learned to good effect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For some, it’s not having love, but (SET ITAL) getting (END ITAL) love that drives them. You enjoy the chase too, and there is much excitement to be had in this regard. But you will wisely cherish your catch.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your attitude is upbeat and confident. Because you care more about helping others than you do about forwarding your own interests, you’ll forge bonds of trust and land easily in situations of mutual admiration and promotion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the thick of a learning process, it’s totally normal to get worse at it before you get better. But if the trend continues, get some space between you and the project. Perspective is needed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). “Location, location, location …” is not just the mantra for business success, it’s a consideration for all. The crucial step to getting what you want will be showing up at the location where what you want is happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wonder if someone thinks of you. They do, although less than you hope or fear. If thoughts had any mass at all, if they could be seen like clouds or weighed like pennies, you’d find this math both intriguing and liberating.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Having to learn a thing can be humbling, certainly a worse feeling than simply learning what’s being taught. But the mandatory lesson lands with more emphasis and staying power. The hard way cuts to the quick.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). Ending up where you started can be wonderful or terrible. It’s wonderful if you traveled far and wide, like Dorothy down the yellow brick road to Oz. It’s terrible if you never left. This year, you’ll leave, explore, make friends, have adventures, face danger, produce magic, see the sights and love with your whole heart. Gemini and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 38, 8, 19 and 42.
