Your SmartScope for October 2008:

It's a good time to be you this October! It won't seem like it but the things that happen to you before the 12th are going to turn out to be blessings in disguise. On the 17th, a situation with a friend could get ugly, and you won't know what to do or say to make it better. This time it won't take much. Just lay out how you feel and your friend will come around. At the end of the month you'll learn something new about yourself! You don't really understand this part of yourself right now but you will pretty soon.

About You, Sagittarius:

The Myth: In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is commonly associated with centaurs (a half-human, half-horse creature), and more specifically with Chiron, an important centaur who was known for his healing powers and respected for his teachings. Chiron sacrificed his life so that men could obtain fire, and this sacrifice won him a place in the sky. The bow that Chiron is aiming is pointed at Scorpio, the scorpion.
Cool Fact: The Sagittarius constellation contains the closest known black hole to Earth.
