Horoscope: Oct. 23

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 23

Bubbling yourself against the world will provide only momentary contentment. Ignorance will be your downfall.

Scorpio: Oct. 24 to Nov. 21

At times, small concessions must be made for you to maintain your hold on the bigger picture. If you’re not careful, stubbornness can extinguish your dreams.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Let the small things in life bring you the most excitement. If you wait around for a momentous event, you’ll have forgotten the breathlessness of elation.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

A steady hand is nothing without accurate aim. Concentrate. Direct your focus to precisely-defined objectives or you’ll begin to crumble.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Speak of the truth, no matter how ugly. A life shrouded in lies is one lived alone, and balanced on a dangerous precipice of disinformation.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to March 20

Enjoy the uncertainty of life, knowing each second will be delightfully different. Trust the future awaits you with open arms, not conniving terror.

Aries: March 21 to April 19

A rough sketch is needed before the final ink. Allow time and mistakes to sculpt you. Perfection is seldom born.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20

Cruelty and kindness are two sides of the same coin — but don’t allow a toss of chance to determine your action. 

Gemini: May 21 to June 21

There’s not enough time to know everything, so don’t try to. Let others soothe your curiosity with their knowledge. We each have our specialties. 

Cancer: June 22 to July 22

Don’t let the cacophony of a crowd’s chatter drown you out. At the very least, hold onto your thoughts, lest they slip away in the river of noise.

Leo: July 23 to Aug. 22

Your life isn’t determined by its hours nor its seconds. Don’t let a brief encounter ruin your day — too often does the bad engulf the good. 

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Revel in the beauty of others — in their unpredictability and in the ways they surprise you. You can’t assume control of the people in your life.
