Happy Birthday for Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024:
You are determined, intelligent and have strong opinions. You are also a gifted communicator. This year you will reap the benefits of your hard work by being recognized by others. You might receive awards, kudos, a raise or promotion. Seize opportunities that are presented to you.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★
Today the Full Moon is in your sign, which could create tension with your closest relationships — friends, spouses and partners. Make an effort to see the other person’s point of view. (You might be surprised how things appear. I’m looking at you.) Tonight: Check your belongings.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Today you might feel pulled between feeling the need to “get away from all this” versus cooperating with others and getting involved in work or perhaps something to do with a pet. It’s always a balancing act, isn’t it? Tonight: You win!
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Because of the Full Moon today, be extra patient with your kids. Likewise, be reasonable and tolerant with friends, as well as romantic partners. This tension will be gone in 48 hours. Sit up and be a person. Everything improves as the week wears on. Tonight: Enjoy solitude.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★
It’s a Full Moon today, which means the Sun and the Moon are opposite each other. This is why you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job, career or external world. It’s tough. Good luck. Tonight: Be friendly.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Be careful today. This particular Full Moon creates an accident-prone influence for you. Of course, an accident doesn’t have to happen, but if you’re angry or distracted, it could. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do. Chill out. Tonight: Show respect.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Every Full Moon tends to bring issues to a head. And this is what you might discover today, because this particular Full Moon deals with earnings, assets, debt, taxes and shared property — the whole enchilada. You might see more sides to these issues. Tonight: Explore and learn!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place, which is bound to create a bit of tension between you and partners, close friends and spouses. Obviously, because this is a short-lived event, you are best served by being tolerant, patient and resisting the urge to fire back. Tonight: Check your finances.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Be patient with co-workers today, because you might bump heads with someone. Because of the Full Moon today, people are emotional and inclined to vent. Every Full Moon creates a bit of tension, but it is short-lived. Gone in 48 hours. No biggie. Tonight: Compromise a little.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
This is the classic day that will require more patience from you to deal with your kids, romantic partners and friends. Why? Because today is a Full Moon that will stress these particular areas more than usual. Tonight: Work.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
You might feel like you’re caught in a tug-of-war between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your external world — your career and your reputation in the community. That’s because of today’s Full Moon. Meanwhile, tension with partners and close friends is also likely. Demonstrate grace under pressure. Tonight: Socialize.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Make an extra effort to pay attention to everything you say and do today, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. This covers physical and verbal accidents, which means you need to think before you speak to avoid making a gaffe that you will later regret. (“Did I just say that?”) Tonight: Relax.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Money squabbles might take place today or quarrels about handling how to pay for costs in a fair way. Possibly, something could impact your travel plans. Get things straightened out so you feel that you are treated fairly. You deserve this. Tonight: Engage in discussions.
