It is also a time-traveling machine. Witnessing art, we participate in a dialogue of the ages. The Cancer moon and Scorpio sun swish into a swirl of appreciation for mediums that touch the soul and lift intentions. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s pressure to show your work before you know if it’s ready. The urgency here is manufactured. Honor your feelings on the matter. Know why you’re doing a thing before you do it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s said that nothing is inherently boring except the mind that would deem it so. However, you have abundant inner resources and still, if you’re being honest, the scene fails to stimulate their usage. An exit will remedy all. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your quick reflexes and talent for catching and handling problems in their infancy state will make people dependent on you. To avoid the constant pressure of adapting to life’s exigencies, don’t be so readily available. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Others might mistake your humble reserve for shyness, but in fact you do not lack confidence at all. It takes you time to warm up to new situations because you have the proper amount of respect for them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No need to minimize or deny experiences. You’re entitled to your version of the story and you get to frame it however you want. The place to be honest is in the safety of a private journal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s a traffic jam-like situation. Inching along feels hopeless, but movement, even if it’s only a few inches at a time, is still movement. Relax and listen to life’s music. You’ll get there eventually. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You use your time differently from the way people around you do. You’re on different paths, neither of which is inherently better in any way other than fit. Do what suits you and you will be successful. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You appreciate the historic building, the old bridge and the ancient treasure -- proof that mortal hands can create immortal achievements, or at least very lasting ones. You’ll work toward goals beyond you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind works in images. You may find yourself doing the opposite of what you tell yourself to do. Take it as a cue to stop telling yourself and instead picture the desired behavior. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The complaint is covering something up. Griping can be a way of bragging, getting attention, showing dominance, indicating intelligence or an array of other motives beyond expressing dissatisfaction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can avoid getting lost in the maze of other people’s needs by avoiding other people. That sounds drastic, but it’s temporary. Guarding blocks of solo time is crucial to your productivity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Strangers, foreigners and fresh faces of all kinds will be interesting to you. But the most fascinating potential already exists in your realm. There’s a secret and fascinating truth inside someone who has been there all along. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 27). An unusual occurrence will stir up your scene, and you will no longer be able to continue in the old way. The new system will bring results with half the effort. You’ll spend your time on things that matter more to you. At the year’s turn, a deal or trial goes in your favor. Family celebrates a breakthrough or expansion. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 1, 11 and 28. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021 Theatrical Moon The lunar influence changes into a theatrical black cat on these days leading up to the scariest holiday of the year. The potential for dramatic fun is at a high, and it will be as thrilling (if not more so) to plan tricks and treats as it is to experience them. Bonding over costumes and decorations brings a joyful melding of creative energy and amusement. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Backward logic is still logic. Your mind is working on multiple levels at once, and your ideas may not braid together into conventional or immediate sense, and yet there’s something to it. Trust yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes, the inventor is the last one to know exactly what’s been created. Being too close to the work causes a loss of perspective. You’ll be in such a position. It’s too early to comment on what you’ve made. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll classify and label an experience in hopes of managing the full intensity of feeling it came with. Not everything will fit into a neat definition. At some point, it will be easier, and weirdly wonderful, to accept the mess. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re afraid to take a chance, and your fear is part of what makes it a risk worth taking. This is the cost of a thrilling, full life. So have faith. Whatever happens, you can work with it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The activity you love will transport you to a zone of freedom. You will return to the placeless place in your mind where the past and the future are gathered and the dance is happening now in complete stillness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your limitations are both external and internal, created by others and self-created. Regardless of the origin of your roadblock, help is available. You need only to call out for it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is something (or more likely someone) preventing you from the long, uninterrupted block of concentration necessary to accomplish your goal. Remedy the situation so you can have what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not your style to make extravagant demands, and the requests you do make will be quickly honored. Maybe it’s because you’re not just thinking about you; you’re thinking of the others, the big picture and the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Spending time doing what matters to you will be an eye-opening experience. You do not have to take part in the mass trivia occupying your contemporaries. The more you focus, the easier it is to see what is worth focusing on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). One person can talk, but it takes two to communicate. If you’re not connecting with someone, check yourself to make sure you’re being receptive and open... but don’t assume the lack of rapport is your fault. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are versatile though quite aware of how much easier it is for you to shine in certain circumstances. Knowing your prime time, best practices and ideal team members allows for your top performance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will not have to work too hard or do unpleasant things to be successful. You will find the ordinary action that creates extraordinary results. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). You like creating surprises and watching them play out. At times, you will be purposely mysterious. You’ll often delight in the moments of discovery you contribute to. Because people consider you a unique talent, you’ll be offered interesting opportunities. There’s a substantial payout in March. Virgo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 11, 24 and 18. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
