Horoscopes: Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Holding on occupies your hands so nothing else can happen. No giving or receiving and no other work -- just maintaining what is already in your grasp. What’s worth holding on to?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a study in contrasts -- wise as an elder and playful as a child, living in a realistic dream, working playfully and playing like it’s your job. Every facet you embrace makes you more powerful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The ideas keep coming. The early ones are nothing compared to the later ones, so don’t be too quick to act. Keep the brainstorm session going. The winning choice is the one most likely to benefit many people at once.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The stories that go directly from here to there are too logical to be memorable. Indulge curiosity on your way to the goal. Take advantage of the great and useful pleasure of meandering.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You think you know yourself, but it’s just a theory. Theories need proof. You’re not proving yourself to anyone. You’re proving yourself because it’s exciting to create the evidence of who you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your thoughts want to be embodied, so express them in movement. Does it feel silly or strike you as nonsense? Then you’re on the right track. It’s not meant to make sense; it’s meant to integrate the mind-body connection.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships are as healthy as their communication systems. All lines are open and clear. No translation will be necessary on your end; you understand perfectly what is being exchanged.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are ambitious plans in the making. Now is the time to pose the honest question: Why this? There are many ways to fulfill your needs, some of which will be easier and less expensive than your original plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Opportunity comes knocking, but so will solicitors, unwanted visitors and the wind. You don’t know which knocks to answer, so you have to answer them all. Your good fortune will depend on it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a difference between presenting an idea and pushing it. Your natural charm disallows for pushing. Your genuine excitement on subjects will radiate and do all the work for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When Walt Whitman wrote, there “will never be any more perfection than there is now,” he made an excellent point. To believe this is to live in perpetual sweetness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whether or not you want to do a job will be irrelevant to you. You see what needs to be done and you do it. After it’s completed, you’ll get just how necessary it was.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 10). You’ll discover a niche that is a wonderful fit for you. What may seem like fluff and extras to the uninformed will be a source of great interest, a main area of study and a wellspring for fun, relationships and financial success, too. You’ll drop or adopt a life-changing habit at the start of the year. Capricorn and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 55, 38, 2 and 14.
