Your Birthday for October 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 2nd, 2013

Born today, you can be rather self-indulgent at times. Although you are often quite able to keep this aspect of your personality strictly under control, it can prove rather dangerous for you when you are not. When you really let yourself go, you may suffer physically, mentally and psychologically, and find it difficult to hang on to the things for which you have previously worked so hard. You like the finer things in life, and you will do all you can to have what you desire. You're sure to work hard to further this personal cause. You are able to do a few things that most others cannot do.

You are eager to go it alone; even at an early age you will show signs of an independent spirit that exceeds that of most others born under your sign. Indeed, you don't even like it when others have something to teach you; you prefer to learn things on your own through trial and error, a method that doesn't threaten your sense of autonomy.

Also born on this date are: Tiffany, singer; Kelly Ripa, actress, TV hostess; Lorraine Bracco, actress; Sting, singer and songwriter; Annie Leibovitz, photographer; Donna Karan, designer; Don McLean, singer and songwriter; Rex Reed, film critic; Bud Abbot, actor and comedian; Groucho Marx, actor and comedian; Mahatma Gandhi, activist.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your instincts are likely to lead you to the threshold of something new and exciting, where a new friend waits to make your acquaintance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've overlooked one or two details lately that can make all the difference between confidence and insecurity -- to you and others.

Your Birthday for October 01, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 1st, 2013

Born today, you are a robust figure, perhaps more so than most others born under your sign, and there will always be a vibrantly physical component to your every endeavor. You are not usually happy behind a desk; if you find yourself in a job that pins you down in this way, you will no doubt find occasion to get up, stretch your legs and mix and mingle freely in the course of tending to your office-bound responsibilities. Most likely you will choose a line of work that gets you out and about. What you may enjoy more than anything else is the chance to travel about and see the world.

You may not be quite as concerned with parity and fairness in your daily affairs as other Libra natives often are. You can be fiercely competitive as well, which means, of course, that you want to come out on top! There are times when you will do anything to win, but you must take care that you don't run afoul of the law.

Also born on this date are: Mark McGwire, baseball player; Randy Quaid, actor; Rod Carew, baseball player; Stella Stevens, actress; Julie Andrews, actress and singer; Richard Harris, actor; George Peppard, actor; Tom Bosley, actor; Jimmy Carter, U.S. president; James Whitmore, actor; Walter Matthau, actor; Bonnie Parker, outlaw.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself making a certain kind of seemingly trivial mistake again and again -- and it's the frequency that presents danger.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are being asked to do something that you don't really think is right for you -- but you may not know how to say "no" just now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be given the freedom to do certain things entirely your way. A strong start will make all the difference.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your own imagination is perhaps the most fertile ground for growing new ideas that can benefit many other people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you're trying to do may not be impossible, but it is certainly improbable -- at least to those who have tried it in the past.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can explore your options with a little more freedom than usual. Time, for once, is likely to be on your side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What is made available to you may not be what you have been seeking, but you should be able to make it work for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have overlooked one simple rule recently, and that is likely causing you some trouble as you get a certain task underway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not know what is in store, but you can trust a Taurus native to guide you through an emotional obstacle course.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are being tempted by someone who doesn't really understand the implications of his or her offers. You must give a definite answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't let yourself be controlled by anyone who doesn't understand your most basic needs. A loved one can run interference for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Anger may be unavoidable, but you must take care that it doesn't hijack your capacity for making rational, reasonable decisions.

Your Birthday for September 30, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 30th, 2013

Born today, you are in many ways the poster child for the well-balanced Libra native, seeking nothing so much as a harmonious life, one that is in tune with the rhythms of the world around you and with the people you encounter as you take your daily journey from here to there, and sometimes back again. You are rarely surprised by what happens in life. You have complete faith in the notion that what transpires is a natural result of the groundwork laid by those who are involved in day-to-day activities. You seem to understand that groundwork, and the behavior that creates it, more than most.

You have a poetic nature, seeking beauty everywhere you go. You usually find it because you are so open to its magic. Life, for you, is a process, and you revel in all aspects of it. Your zest for life is widely admired, and it will bring you good fortune more often than not.

Also born on this date are: Dominique Moceanu, Olympic gymnast; Martina Hingis, tennis player; Jenna Elfman, actress; Eric Stoltz, actor; Fran Drescher, actress; Marilyn McCoo, singer; Johnny Mathis, singer; Angie Dickinson, actress; Truman Capote, writer; Deborah Kerr, actress; Buddy Rich, jazz drummer.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be responsible for more than you had planned on, yet you should be able to acquit yourself well, no matter what happens.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be feeling somewhat nervous or uncertain, and the reason should become clear to you quite suddenly toward afternoon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have more learning to do before you can head off on your own and immerse yourself in a new project or endeavor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- He or she who has inspired you in the past may not be there for you now, but what you learned will be ever-present in your mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A health issue may become more pressing, though you have no more reason for concern than you have had in the recent past. Eat right!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be pushing yourself a little too hard these days. Now is the time for you to consider taking just a moment for yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're very interested in what makes an acquaintance tick, and your search for the answers will bring you much closer together.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be ready to indulge in a certain fantasy, but today's circumstances may not be wholly favorable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are not able to maneuver as freely as you might like. Someone else has pinned you down -- quite by surprise!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to hold a lot in as others take their turns expressing themselves. Don't stop preparing yourself for what comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The decisions you make must be based on facts that you can confirm. Now is no time to rely on hearsay or gossip!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be both time- and budget-conscious. Someone in charge may be insecure about what can and cannot actually be accomplished.
