Horoscopes: Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While you did not expect everyone to have the same feelings for you as you do for them, it’s nice when they’re in the same ballpark. Check in on this. A relationship will develop in a healthy direction.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Notice people’s favorite feeling — the one they return to repeatedly. Don’t assume you’re responsible for the cycle. People look for reasons to feel their favorite feeling, and anything can happen to provide them.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You listen carefully. You lean in. You clear your mind of an agenda and absorb what you hear. This is what you give to others, and it’s not too much to ask others to give it right back to you, though few may be equipped.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People are talking. You sort through the chatter. You are uniquely equipped to translate some of the more confusing messages because you relate to people from many different factions of life.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The nature of hospitality is that it serves the needs and appetites of its patrons. The most luxurious offering that is neither needed nor wanted can be inhospitable, and the most humbly spot-on offering can be an act of epic hospitality.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). One song suggests, “Wise men say only fools rush in.” The wisest, however, wouldn’t lob such an unkind insult at the vulnerable who move with love’s urgency. If the heart doesn’t have its own intelligence, then what does?       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will have the love of a group. Indeed, when people get together around you, they are collectively more cheerful and good-natured than any one of them tend to be on an individual basis. This is the alchemy of you.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like working hard, so you wouldn’t enjoy yourself if things were handed to you too easily. Even so, the smiles and compliments you received today are well-earned, so just take them.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In days of old, royals sent a herald ahead to alert all to be ready to show their respect. Can you do some version of this move before you make an entrance? It will help to have a welcome backdrop to your presentation.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve been around a person a while, though your interactions have taught you very little about them. Some people don’t want to be known. Oddly, your respect of this will earn you trust and position.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You make a point of feeling lucky. You consider your gratitude practice to be as important as food. It is nutrition for the soul. To be thankful every day is to be happy every day.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t need to be told what to enjoy. Weird and specific things bring you a rush — the way you can stretch into a certain chore, funny social juxtapositions, failed art, magnificent lighting … the list goes on and on. This day is a good time.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 12). When people are happy for you, and they will be so often this year, what flows from it is more than a feeling or a vibe. Love materializes in tangible forms. Whether you hold, savor or give it, you exchange the most exquisite treasure. More highlights: deliciously dramatic scenery, stories that sweep you into new roles and relationships, and the sweetest experiences of home. Aquarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 3, 27 and 15.
