Horoscope for Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2021

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Expect a few surprises when dealing with authority figures — people like parents, bosses, VIPs or the police. If this occurs, be careful about your response. Resist the urge to just have a knee-jerk reaction. In fact: Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Travel plans will change. They might be delayed, canceled, or, possibly, you will have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You might hear about unexpected and surprising news from afar? School schedules, especially related to higher education, might also change. Make an effort to get current information.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Double-check details concerning banking, taxes, debt, finances with the government, insurance and anything to do with wills, estates and inheritances because something unusual could affect these areas. It might be a mistake that could cost you money? Stay on top of these matters.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball. You’re surprised! Be smart and give yourself a minute to process whatever happens so that you respond and not just “react” to what they do or say. They might demand a change in the relationship? More freedom?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your work routine will be interrupted because of something unexpected. This could be related to something to do with a coworker? Perhaps technological problems will occur. Staff shortages, late deliveries or problems with electricity are also possible. (Yikes!)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Virgo parents should be extra vigilant because this is a mildly accident-prone day for their kids. Meanwhile, all Virgos will find that their social plans might suddenly change. You might receive a surprise invitation? Or perhaps something already planned might be canceled. “Oh no!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your home routine will be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Surprise company might drop by. Prepare for anything and stock the fridge. (Get dressed because you don’t know what might happen.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Be aware. On the upside, new faces, new places, new ideas will make this a stimulating, interesting day! Stay flexible so that you can handle whatever comes your way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something unexpected could affect your finances today. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Likewise, something that you own might be stolen, lost or damaged, which means you should be more vigilant about taking care of your belongings. Eyes sharp!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the moon is in your sign dancing with unpredictable Uranus. This will make you crave emotional excitement and want to break free from the routine of your daily life. You will be impulsive and inclined to act rashly. Think twice before making hasty decisions. (For your own good.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something unusual might occur in the background or in a hidden way today. For example, in a strange way, secrets might come to you or something could be revealed to you? If so, be discreet and be kind. Resist the urge to gossip if it will hurt someone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

If you are dealing with friends or groups today, you might advocate for some kind of change or new policies, especially if you think your ideas will introduce better ways of doing things. You might see new ways of dealing with fundraising or how to handle shared property and resources.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Hugh Jackman (1968) shares your birthday. You are optimistic and confident. You have charm, intelligence and wit and are an excellent communicator. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to wrap up certain things that have involved you for years. Be prepared to let go in order to create space next year to begin something new and fresh.
