horoscope

(October 17 Friday)

- By HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your charm sometimes involves a bit of illusion; tricks of magnetism that you've learned and earned.

For instance, today you'll effectively bring people in closer with captivating information. What's shared in confidence creates intimacy, trust and a sense you're “in it together.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What happens at home will set you up for success in the field. But what about when home is the field? You'll need your domestic environment to pull a double-duty, and with a little forethought, organization and elbow grease, it’s no problem whatsoever.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A challenge doesn’t have to be headline-level to feel hard. You notice what people are going through, even if it's a minor bummer. Small cruelties can wear people down. You give compassion, and it counts more than you will ever know.
