Horoscopes: Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your relationship with time will be a theme. Experiment with alterations of your routine to get more out of your day. Harmonize with the clock, and you’ll dance to the calendar’s rhythms.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some questions will never be answered, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be asked. Voice your curiosity. Maybe illumination will come three generations from now, or maybe never, but you’ll make people think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Gifts aren’t always blessings. Big gifts can come with a large sense of indebtedness or a hefty amount of responsibility. Don’t accept gifts that have the potential to encumber you or cause you to interact in a way that feels false.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The good news is that arguments are pointless and irrelevant to your end goal. So, you needn’t waste your time trying to convince anyone of anything. Everything worth doing has to do with adding joy to your world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Children tattle; adults act. Instead of calling someone out for wrongdoing, you’ll watch and wait for your chance to turn the situation to your advantage. Gather intel and try to figure out your opponent’s next move.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When your curiosity meets the right subject, your brain lights up, your chemistry changes in wonderful ways and you feel vividly alive. This is why it’s a waste of time to be involved in things that don’t much interest you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever the argument, you can find an expert to support it from any side. But you’re not interested in validating your own opinion. You want to understand the truth of things. You’ll learn the issue from every angle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who travel often are either paid to do it or they’ve made travel a priority. You want to see new places and you’ll make it happen. Your impulses in this regard will be fortuitous, your plans inspired.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t let ambition get the best of you. It’s unkind to push yourself so hard. Give yourself the gift of a comfortable pace, which includes plenty of time for practice, as top performance requires.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you fight for something, make sure it is worthy of the struggle, and that a battle is indeed warranted. After all, some prizes are there for the asking, or can be had through some kind of trade.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be tested by those who enjoy the adrenaline of conflict. The winning move is not to play their game, and bonus points for staying away from them entirely. Instead, stay focused on the outcome you’re trying to create.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Awards often lead to more opportunities, but they can also bring unwanted pressure. You’ve a knack for choosing the sort of achievements that are their own reward. As for formal accolades, you can opt to accept or decline.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). Before you knew what things were really like, you knew what you wanted them to be like. These expectations now join the realm of possibility as adult realities weave magically with childhood hopes and dreams. More highlights: a gift from the elders, someone will get behind your business, a level-up and a renovation. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 5, 8, 21 and 11.
