Your Birthday for October 07, 2012

Your Birthday | October 7th, 2012

Born today, you are a lively, quick and sometimes contentious individual -- but you love to have fun more than anything. You sometimes behave in ways that are simply inexplicable to others, and you know how to use the element of surprise very much to your advantage, in both personal pursuits and professional endeavors. You are positive, ambitious and confident that you can make your dreams come true -- and as you progress through life you will be granted numerous opportunities to prove that you are so capable. You don't need the approval of others, but you do enjoy it, and will seek it out in situations that can provide you an elegant sufficiency of it.

You are a tolerant individual, never one to judge someone without the evidence to back up your views. You will help others rather than hinder them, and if you can be of no practical help, you will surely offer moral support. The truth is that you enjoy getting along with people.

Also born on this date are: Taylor Hicks, singer; Toni Braxton, singer; Simon Cowell, producer, critic; Yo-Yo Ma, cellist; Vladimir Putin, Russian president; John Mellencamp, rocker; Bishop Desmond Tutu, equal rights advocate; June Allyson, actress; Niels Bohr, atomic physicist.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be in the mood for a celebration of sorts today, and it will be up to you to see that there is something to celebrate!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not think you can get everything done on time today, but once you get started your efficiency and productivity will surprise even you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is not the time to feign interest in another's affairs; either you are interested or you are not -- but honest feelings are called for at this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The messages that are meant for you today may be sent to the wrong individuals at first, and once they get to you time is of the essence!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What can and cannot be done today may be a matter of policy -- which you can change, certainly, but it is likely to take awhile.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not succeeding at things the way you had hoped -- but you are not losing ground, either. This can be considered a positive trend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is not the time to be focusing solely upon your own efforts, or their desired results. You must pay attention to another today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Any promises you make will have to be kept, certainly -- but you may find that you are under a time constraint as a result.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There is a certain change coming, and you feel it in ways that cannot be easily expressed. You'll be ready, certainly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The more organized you are, the better your day will progress -- though not necessarily more swiftly. Some things just take time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can increase the comfort level at home or at the workplace -- but that doesn't mean you have less to do, surely!

Your Birthday for October 06, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 6th, 2012

Born today, you are an energetic individual, and the combination of emotional stability, physical strength and native intelligence will surely serve you well throughout your life. There is a risk, however, that you will consider these formidable traits to be the ends, rather than the means -- and if this is the case, you may never truly fulfill your true potential and reach your rather lofty goals. It is essential that you apply your native talents to pursuits that are carefully designed to further your professional pursuits, and that you never simply rest on your laurels, thinking that it is enough to be you.

You love to fall in love -- and indeed, falling in love is often more satisfying to you than being in love. You are one of those individuals for whom courtship is a kind of art, and a long-term, steady relationship is a kind of drudgery. This view is likely to change, however, when you meet that one special someone who is meant for you.

Also born on this date are: Elisabeth Shue, actress; Britt Ekland, actress; Carole Lombard, actress; George Westinghouse, developer and inventor.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Focus on the details, but don't let yourself lose sight of the big picture; it's important that all elements are integrated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll hear plenty of negative opinions today, and you must be sure to give them the same weight as positive ones.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be a hot topic around the watercooler today; what you did yesterday or the day before will have attracted a lot of attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are certain facts that may seem to be standing in your way today; you can't change them, but you can certainly learn to work with them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may sense that someone is working against you in a way that is difficult to stop; you'll want to stay on the offensive, of course!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can afford to slow down just a bit today, to figure out where you are going and which side trips you can afford to explore.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are not likely to get away with things that others cannot get away with at this time; the rules are in place for everyone!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to spend at least a little time alone to collect your thoughts and assess a situation in which you did not perform well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take care that you don't make the mistake of believing your own publicity; you must maintain a realistic self-image.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Anything you do prematurely today is likely to fail in one respect or another. Remember that "the readiness is all"!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to step away from a certain situation in order to see it clearly -- and to differentiate between certain key elements.

Your Birthday for October 05, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 5th, 2012

Born today, you are a strong-willed and charismatic individual with many outstanding talents -- any one of which might be enough to see you acquit yourself well in the professional world. However, you are drawn to pursuits that are creative, even artistic -- though you do not have the stereotypical artistic temperament, but rather proceed with your feet firmly on the ground even as your lofty thoughts reach for the clouds. An early start will enable you to explore many different approaches to your work without risking ultimate failure; thus, as you mature, your record of success will be quite remarkable.

You are not the kind to forsake a happy home life for professional accomplishment and success -- nor are you one to turn away from that success in favor of domestic bliss.

Also born on this date are: Kate Winslet, actress; Guy Pearce, actor; Bernie Mac, actor and comedian; Karen Allen, actress; Glynis Johns, actress; Donald Pleasence, actor; Allen Ludden, game-show host; Ray Kroc, McDonald's founder; Chester A. Arthur, U.S. president.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The devil is in the details, as always; be sure to read all fine print, and listen carefully when others are giving you instructions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find that your usual methods of instruction are not having the desired effect. This is not necessarily a reflection on you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can capitalize on an error made by someone else today, but you don't want to gloat in any way or make too much of a fuss about it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling a little off balance today. The reason should be clear toward nightfall.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not understand how to get machinery and other technological tools to do what they are supposed to do. You're feeling out of touch!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take care that if you rub people the wrong way -- unintentionally, of course -- that you do what you must to ease tensions immediately.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not recognize just how abrasive your tone can be when sending messages via electronic media; be sure to read and edit!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have the feeling that a new world is in the making, but you're not yet sure if this will be something you will welcome.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be haunted by a memory that you've been able to keep at bay for quite some time. This may prompt you to reach out to a former friend.
