Horoscope: Oct. 18
By Holiday Mathis

October 18, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): What you find irritating, you will soon deem “hilarious.” Get away for the afternoon, and then come back to your so-called irritant. That’s when the laughter starts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Say nice things to the not-so-nice people. Kindness is like putting good karma in the bank. You’ll cash it out later.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Doing the same activity a different way can help you out of a rut. Take on the small things — they work like magic to get you unstuck.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Remember that sweetheart from bygone times? The one who turned out to be not so sweet, after all? Well, you’ll meet a similar type in the days to come. Approach with guarded optimism.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Who you are standing next to will strongly affect how you experience your day. You’re confident lately, so approach those who interest you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t have to sacrifice your comfort to chase your dream. You’ll progress in style and barely break a sweat. This is a lucky time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are bigger than your behaviors. Experiment with your habits just to shake things up. Give up one thing and see what falls in the gap to replace it. You can always go back to the way things were later.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are an unusually sensitive participant in life. Those who can appreciate your talent may be rare, but they are generous too. You will be offered something that only an elite few will ever experience.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A celebrity’s irresponsible behavior gives you pause. Today a stranger’s act of kindness helps convince you of the inherent goodness of 98% of the human race.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not always feel like being the responsible one, which is one of the reasons you and your partner make a good match.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your loyalty to a principle is sometimes at odds with your loyalty to people, and this is one of those times. If you must side against a friend, make sure he or she understands why.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The difference between the “haves” and the “have nots” is not always so apparent. Which camp do you belong in? Depends on what criteria you use. Focus on why you’re a “have.”

Today’s birthday (Oct. 18): Your personality shines strong this year, and you will attract the right kind of interest in your projects and endeavors. Excellent publicity will help you move to the next level in your business. You’re smitten with a special person, and your adventures together make the new year one for the books. Sagittarius and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 7, 20, 15, 44 and 30.
