SCORPIO: Oct. 9-15

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Two years ago, Sean Murphy decided he’d suffered enough from a painful wart on his middle finger. So he drank a few beers to steel his nerves, and tried to blast the offending blemish off with a gun. It was a success … he got rid of the wart. It was less than a total victory, though … he annihilated most of his finger. Don’t follow Murphy’s lead. Now’s a good time to part ways with a hurtful burden, but do it without a lot of collateral damage.
