Horoscope: Oct. 17
By Holiday Mathis

October 17, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): Though it may seem you are moving in slow motion, at least you are moving. Remember what you were doing at this time last year? You’ve come a long way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You feel as if you have been blindfolded, spun around and asked to pin the tail on a donkey that might not be there! You’ve accomplished many impossible things in your lifetime.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You have one or two personal idiosyncrasies that are inconsistent and endearing. Put the self-help books down. You are where you need to be.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You have been considering a dietary change, and this is a good time to try it out. You can always go back, and in the meantime, you will learn something about yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Some days it rains; some days the rain comes down sideways and splatters on your window like it’s mad at you. Your interpretation makes all the difference in how you experience things.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A health issue that’s been concerning you sees a resolution of sorts. Some things have once-and-for-all cures, and some require a little change in lifestyle.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your ability to pick out just the right color, line or song is why you are good at what you do. A rivalry will only goad you on to better work.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Do you have the same favorite color you did as a kid? Or do you have a favorite color at all? Silly as it might seem, even a little personal reflection can bring a sudden wash of memory and a new self-appreciation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s a big contrast between your fantasy and the reality you’re experiencing. Take this as a signal that you’re finally dreaming big enough.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You get along so well with someone who doesn’t have such an easy time being nice to others. You focus on what they do well. It’s not so easy, but there’s something in it for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ease up on that schedule. If you don’t feel completely wonderful about saying “yes” to something, say “no” instead. Cramming too many activities into your day brings stress.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you worry about how to make something happen, it won’t. Keep your eye on the ball and do what comes naturally. You’ll be drawn to people who can help you figure out next steps.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 17): As you balance your desire for fame and wealth with a quest for spiritual and self-knowledge, you will find yourself in one novel experience after another. Travel is a featured part of the next 10 weeks. A signed contract is also part of the adventure. There’s a financial blessing in June. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers: 5, 15, 49, 20, 44.
