Horoscopes: Sunday, October 18, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As for the smart, generous, insightful people at the core of your inner circle, some you know, some you haven’t met yet. Dedicate more time to following your interests and you’ll find them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). So it goes, in art and in life, that some boundaries are drawn in ink and others are drawn in emptiness. Without space, there is no form. Without silence, there is no sound. No answer is an answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It has taken a while, but you’re starting to see that what you choose to do, and the way you do it, is not easily duplicated and actually sort of amazing. Self-props are called for.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People who bore and annoy you needn’t be avoided today and should be studied instead. What are they doing that repels you so? Do you perhaps, to some small degree, share any of their unfortunate peculiarities?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The habit to lose now isn’t a terribly big one; it’s a small, weird, repetitive action that just isn’t adding anything to your life. Nix that one to make room for the zephyrs of good fortune to blow through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel a great deal of enthusiasm for a subject and yet will be reticent to show it if you see there’s a chance of overwhelming others or making yourself stand out too much. Temperance is social grace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The natural remedy will call to you. This isn’t about an essential oil or flower essence; it’s about responding to a problem-solving sense that heralds from a deep and primal place inside you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Much will depend on focusing on the right conversational topic or theme interactions or projects. You might not find it right away. Be like a prospector, digging here and there until you strike gold.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Shoes in the house or no? Like so many of life’s choices, neither is more correct, though one may be more preferred. For the sake of social ease, follow the customs of ones you are with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As the truly beautiful dancers know, it’s not about looking good; it’s about feeling good. Movement is personal expression, and you’ll be playful in this regard, enjoying what it is to be a physical creature.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t take things on because you know how to do them. You take things on because you (SET ITAL)don’t(END ITAL) know how to do them, and the way to find out is to take things on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Why the exuberance? It seems to come for no reason, but indeed, part of you understands that these small acts are the seeds of greatness. Share your joy, and it will compound and have lasting effects.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 18). While it doesn’t appeal to you celebrate your birthday in pomp and splendor, this solar return does bring unexpected attention and luxuries your way. Don’t turn them down! Your excellent stewardship of these cosmic gifts leads to sweet and loving ties, satisfying intellectual challenge, and meaningful work. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 22, 4, 48, 17 and 39.
