Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013: This year you will alternate between being the extreme extrovert and the recluse whom no one can find. You will network and expand your horizons, yet you also will take frequent timeouts. If single, meeting people comes easily. If attached, enjoy the closeness you create as a couple. Leo can be hard on you. A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a moon in Leo if born before 11:52 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Virgo.
