Horoscope - October 24

Pisces moon and Mercury with Venus in water sign Scorpio keep communications on subtle, even psychic levels. It’s time to acknowledge what people don’t say as much as what they say. Once you get the drift, don’t belabor the point. Feelings count, and the fastest way to change someone’s mind is to list accurately sum up where they are now. Denial is dangerous.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Love is sizzling hot. God news arrives regarding matters that have worried you, which gives you an energetic burst. Now that a health concern is cleared up, get ready for challenging work assignments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember past experiences and apply them to new situations. Passion returns to your marriage if you go along with your mate’s ideas. Singles meet in a crowd. Your best signs for love are Libra and Virgo.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Share your success with a mentor. You needn’t talk too much about your failures. Don’t let your crush on your boss interfere with your working relationship. Find someone elsewhere.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your most recent project will get an enthusiastic response. Now that you have accomplished your part, hand it over to those in charge of the next phase. Reimburse an old friend who lent you money, otherwise, he may feel used.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Enjoy your newly acquired freedom, and take advantage of it to follow an exciting course. If you disagree with an artist’s work or its political content, why patronize it? Your need for deep and strong commitment will be satisfied by a Taurus.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 24). This is a year when you feel powerful. Colleagues and subordinates are awed by your reputation. A state of romantic limbo ends in December when a love prospect finally confesses his or her depth of emotion. Get finances and documents in order; you will want to make major purchases in January. Major lifestyle changes happen in April. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 19, 33, 4 and 10.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t invest in a market you hardly know just because a friend of yours is excited about it. Your mate will visit family members in another state. Get to know seductive a Scorpio instead of obsession over him or her.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relatives are happy to help, much to your surprise. A group project with you as the leader will go well. You’ll be working late, but it’s fun, since there’s a romance brewing at work, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Let your mate take the lead, and you’ll have a good time. The chore list is long, but you’ll whistle while you work. In-laws can be helpful in your career. An innocent flirtation becomes a powerful romance if you want it to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Housecleaning and other domestic chores are favored. Your partner is clever with the family budget, and you reap the benefits. Get your passport ready, you could have a sudden chance to travel!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Look good, even if you’re staying home, because romance comes when you least expect it. Provide a child with ethical guidance. An old relationship is predictable, but never boring. Rumors are exaggerated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Complete the family business first, then get out and have some fun. If more education will help you get the job you want, why not go for it? Show what you can do; it’ll be noticed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Put frustration of the past few months behind you, and concentrate on the future. Exciting developments in your career and love life are right around the corner. Immerse yourself in learning.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Will my boyfriend ever marry me? I was born Aug. 10, 1962. He’s an Aries who keeps saying he needs more time."

You are a Leo, and an Aries/Leo combination starts off on the right foot. Notice I said "starts off." As fire signs, you can keep up with each other’s fast pace, and you need to be the catalyst that makes things happen. Unfortunately, Aries men have a tendency to mistrust their own judgments. Your man is harboring some fears about marriage because of a past lover who is still in the picture. She is not a rival for his love, but since she is always available, it gives him an escape hatch. You and many Leo and Libra women will be sought after by marriage-minded men in January. However, if you want this Aries man, in January you must seek out the refuge of your family or long-term friends. Spend more time with them. You see, Aries men respond to spectacle: They want to have their drama (your mutual relationship) played out on a large stage so that family and friends are involved. When he makes the suggestion of marriage, don’t start planning a lavish wedding; this will make him doubt again!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: More than just a hunk, Matt Damon is a brain, too. Libra, an air sign, lends intellectual agility and a charming quality that people like to be around. His Capricorn moon resounds on a serious emotional note; though he’s light and funny, he considers himself on a serious mission to the top. For those born under a Capricorn moon, no amount of success is quite as fulfilling as searching for more!
