STARRY EYE

Passions run high this week. Where will your ardor lead you — into temptation or trouble? Life (and love) will be interesting.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 22)

People seem to gravitate to you now. And you find yourself in the center of all of the action. What is it about you that commands such attention and reverence? Whatever it is, bottle it and sell it before it evaporates.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 22)

Mystery surrounds you now.

Use it to your advantage to get what you want. It is fine to be strategic and a bit conniving — as long as the end result is for the greater good. Hmm, for the greater good of whom?

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 – JANUARY 20)

Capricorns are surrounded by well-wishers, friends and assorted hangers-on. You may feel overwhelmed, but try to keep your energy up. People you meet now will change your life. Unless you change your mind.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 19)

Will you rise to the top of your profession, or will you be content to rest in middle management, Aquarius? Whatever your career plan contains, be happy with your progress toward it. Survey your path and see if it leads to the promised land.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 – MARCH 20)

It is a good time to plan a new course of action that gets you out of your comfort zone and into a new time zone. Pisces can be sedate and content, but that can also lead to stagnation. Break out of your moldy old routine and see the world anew.

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 20)

Will you be tempted to squander your dough on just another yeasty lump? Why not wait to see how adding a little heat can change the recipe. Apply the right amount of kneading and attention. Then you may even see your fortunes rise, Aries.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 – MAY 21)

Relationships will have a certain spark now, Taurus. Will you use this intensity to light your life, or will it blow a fuse? Temper your passions and see how partners respond. And if you are roaming the pastures, see who is grazing nearby.

GEMINI (MAY 22 – JUNE 21)

Sexy things may percolate by the watercooler at work. So keep your composure and grace while things brew with co-workers. Geminis are naturally sociable. Will your friendly ways be misconstrued as a bold romantic move? You may secretly hope so!

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 23)

Plan for fun and see where your feisty antics can lead. Will you go head-over-heels for a delicious new face? Will you delve into your own creative juices and see what pours out? Why not combine all of your passions into one large bite?

LEO (JULY 24 – AUGUST 23)

Leos may prefer to sit at home and wait for the doorbell to ring. If so, be sure that you have already invited a posse of pals to keep you company. Things may whip up into a festive frenzy. Will it become a pot luck party or a lucky party in another way?

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 23)

You will have a way with words now, Virgo. So don’t sit, tongue tied, in the corner. It is time to share your ideas and express yourself. Who knows who you will impress? Or will it be you who impresses yourself? That would be interesting.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 – OCTOBER 23)

Will life make dollars and cents now, Libra? Or will you splurge on something or someone worthless and gaudy? It is time to assess your budget and see if it fits into what you want and need. If not, try to recalculate.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY: KATY PERRY, OCTOBER 25 METROHNL: We applaud your very optimistic — and completely delusional — outlook of seeing each passing year as “leveling up.”
