Horoscope: Oct. 16
By Holiday Mathis

October 16, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): A mix-up at home must be sorted out. Escape into your own world for a while. A little you-time away from your loved ones brings a lot of perspective.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): An old song comes on the radio, and you sing along. You might be surprised at how you know every word. The vast universe is harmonizing with you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Stock up on a few simple universal gifts. Some opportunities for being charming and thoughtful are just around the corner, and a little preparation will serve you well.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You might let things interrupt you, throw you off your schedule and otherwise prevent you from being on time and on purpose. This stray from the original plan will actually be lucky for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When you thumb through travel magazines, the sea seems bluer everywhere else. How warm are those waters exactly? Maybe it’s your turn to find out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your first reaction to a situation may not be the best. When you think you have to prove yourself, humble yourself instead. Or when you think you can handle it all, ask for help.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Sometimes it seems that you can give of yourself and your reserves are never exhausted. The well of love in your heart is deep.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ve dealt with the stresses of life in a responsible manner. Everyone deserves a free pass once in a while, and this is your turn to opt out and let the others handle things.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are not already in the habit of setting time aside to meditate, this is the perfect day to begin. Ten minutes of silent reflection a day will have a remarkably positive effect.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): That runaway imagination of yours envisions a future that’s very different from your present. Can you be thankful for what you have, even while leveraging it for something else? You’ll certainly try.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Those expressions you use often relate to real phenomena. Spirits can be “raised,” as evidenced by your higher levels of energy when you are around that person who brings you up on all levels.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You join the ranks of the laid back. It’s not a group of slackers. Some of the most successful people in the world are easygoing. Relaxed people are happy people.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 16): You hear a spiritual calling this year and will do a careful review of your belief system. You’ll be adding new beliefs and getting rid of ideas that no longer hold true for you. The next six weeks bring a fortunate change in your personal life and possibly a new residence. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 24, 40, 31 and 15.
