A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Aries.

Happy birthday for Wednesday October 31, 2018:
This year you open up to new ideas and express more versatility. You could be pursuing whatever you find irresistible in order to demonstrate your sense of freedom. Do not turn away from what you value; you won’t always be able to retrieve it. If you are single, you might not be in the state of mind for a commitment, no matter how much you are attracted to someone. Understand what is blocking you. If you are attached, the two of you relish being together. Do not be fearful of the intensity and caring that bonds you. LEO often seems to interfere with your plans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Think big, and don’t negate any possibilities. Halloween mischief might run through your day. Someone makes you rethink your connection, and he or she seems to know no limits to his or her pushing. Give yourself some time before you finalize any decisions. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might find yourself fussing over some issues that you thought were settled quite a while ago. As you might be upset, you could act unpredictably and shock others. Do you really want to shake up the status quo? Perhaps waiting a day would be smart. Tonight: Happy at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are building an even closer connection with a friend or neighbor. Perhaps you have decided to handle Halloween together or approach the night’s happenings as a team. In any case, you will feel closer to each other than you have in a while. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your sensitive side could emerge at the last minute. You might need to run off and pick up some more Halloween goodies before elves and witches drop in on you. You could be content as well as amused with the imaginative nature of the day. Tonight: Share your treats!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You love to get lots of attention. If you are involved in Halloween happenings, no matter what your role, you will do what you do well. A boss or someone you look up to becomes most unpredictable. Listen to what is being shared more openly. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Decide how much is too much. Your sense of humor emerges when taking a look around. You appreciate the efforts that others make to be in sync with the holiday spirit. Embrace trick-or-treaters and/or the various types of get-togethers that pop up. Tonight: Enjoy the night!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You enjoy others in general. You also could be quite flattered, as someone might turn up as your secret admirer. People notice your upbeat and festive spirit, and will want to be closer to you. As a result, you will delight in the moment. Tonight: Be where the crowds are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The mystery of someone’s costume intrigues you. Actually, much about this person intrigues you. You believe you might know who this secretive and well-costumed person is, so be ready to reveal your guess when asked. Tonight: Cupid’s arrow might head your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Reach out to a friend or loved one whom you don’t often get to see. The conversations between you always reflect where each of you is coming from. They’re also typically amusing. Give in to impulsiveness, and make plans to get together soon. Tonight: Let the party begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Defer to someone you care about. You might not be ready for everything that is happening. Still, you will make an adjustment and proceed down the right path. You will find that a loved one acts more unpredictably than usual. Tonight: Go with a close friend’s offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Others are unusually demonstrative and caring. How you handle a personal matter could radically change because of someone else’s perception of you. You can openly ask for help and expect to receive it. Two heads work better than one. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pace yourself, as it appears that many people are seeking you out for advice and feedback. You might be flattered by all the attention and respect. Know that you deserve it. Still, at times you could feel overwhelmed and out of control. Tonight: Surprises seem to surround you.
