Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, October 19, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might feel that others are being stingy with you today. Help, resources, and the assistance you need now is not forthcoming. This is a bummer. It's discouraging. But in the bigger scheme of things - it's peanuts. (Admit it.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is not the day to ask for favours from partners (or anyone for that matter.) All you'll get is "Talk to the hand." Everyone is a bit pulled in and overly reserved today. (A euphemism for unfriendly.) This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You definitely have to be patient with people at work today. Cooperation does not come easily. (If at all.) This is not the day to propose new ideas or try to get approval or permission for anything. People are just a bunch of sourpusses. (And if you're not careful, you'll be in this bunch too.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You may feel burdened with the responsibilities of children today. If you work in the arts, or the entertainment world, or the hospitality industry - you'll feel discouraged. Matters related to professional sports might also be a bummer. It's just that kind of day. No big deal, really.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You hate it when anyone rains on your parade. You should be aware that the influence that is loose out there today does not promote self-confidence. Quite the opposite. You kinda feel like a schmuck. (Relax. It's short-lived.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today might seem a bit depressing or restrictive. You want to break out of your velvet rut but you can't. In fact, as you look around you -- this rut ain't exactly velvet! Oy vay. You feel held back from being who you are or saying what you want. Others seem to get in your way.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're a bit worried about money today. In fact, you might feel broke. Well, what's new? Join the club -- we number millions. You wanted to have ready money to give someone (a friend or a group.) You have gone to the well but the well is dry.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your energies are low today. You feel the weight of the world. Authority figures crush your attempts to do anything. You feel that no one will help you. You're on your own. Actually, this is not true. It's just how things appear to you right now. Fret not, dear friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's important for you to remain positive, optimistic, enthusiastic and active in life. Without activity and enthusiasm, your life would be in the toilet. Today you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And you know that if it fits - it'll be ugly. Lighten up. Tomorrow is much better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A disagreement with someone gives you pause. (Little furry ones.) You feel lonely and isolated from others. But this is actually not the case. It is merely your perception of what is happening. You feel cut off, therefore you won't reach out to others. Just shrug this off.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a lousy day to expect too much from bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures. You ain't going to get it. In fact, others might be critical and fault finding. (Aagghh.) You feel hemmed in by their restrictions. Naturally, they don't understand what you need.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It's always darkest before it gets pitch black. Just remember that. Don't expect too much from others today, and you won't be disappointed. Whatever you're bummed out about will disappear quickly. This is just a temporary black hole. (Send out for dark chocolate.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor John Lithgow (1945) shares your birthday. You're intelligent, humorous and outspoken. Your lively energy electrifies any gathering. You like to reveal hidden truths. (Very little escapes your probing mind.) You value family and friendships. No matter what happens, you always bounce back. Get ready for one of the best years of your life. Enjoy!
