Your Birthday for October 12, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 12th, 2013

Born today, you like to go after things with a kind of energy that is rare, and a level of commitment that is virtually unmatched by anyone born under your sign -- or any sign, for that matter. You are likely to know exactly what you want out of life at a remarkably early age. From that time on, everything you do will be designed to prepare you for success and propel you toward it at a remarkable pace. You may, indeed, have everything you ever wanted when you are still quite young. The danger then, of course, is that the rest of your life may pale in comparison to your earlier years.

You can keep bad things from happening by keeping yourself from those who do bad things -- and though this may seem almost ridiculously simple, the truth is that not everyone is able to steer clear of such dangerous people. You do, however -- and this is something that will hold you in good stead always.

Also born on this date are: Bode Miller, Olympic skier; Kirk Cameron, actor; Hugh Jackman, actor; Susan Anton, actress and model; Luciano Pavarotti, operatic tenor.

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.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may consider your work something of a parlor game, but you have a way of doing it that is entertaining to the masses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A friend may do something that paints you in a bad light, but it is all in fun. You'll realize that nothing important is at stake.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The more you think everything is in order and under control, the more likely you will be to uncover something rampant. Use care.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be able to express yourself in a unique and highly effective fashion, but not everyone will understand your motives.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to decipher messages for others even while you try to interpret others that come to you through similar channels.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can undergo a significant change, but not everyone need know it. What is different is something deep beneath the surface.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may receive a piece of advice that fits you perfectly, though you did not ask for it. Other benefits come to you by day's end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself working alongside another even though your primary motives are self-serving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your emotions must not be allowed to run amok, though in certain situations it will be better to feel than to think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Trouble comes to you only if you refuse to acknowledge certain key circumstances that you cannot control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What happens early in the day may not amount to much for a while, but by day's end you'll begin to reap very clear benefits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You cannot afford to do things in the wrong order, as the results you get may go against everything you're working toward.

Your Birthday for October 11, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 11th, 2013

Born today, you are a dedicated and hardworking individual. You are always striving to promote some agenda that you feel is important, not just for yourself, but for the world at large. You are quick to determine how your own routine affairs are connected with the affairs of others -- and how your own behavior affects those around you, directly or indirectly. You are highly creative, and though your motives may not be unlike those of so many others, the methods you employ to satisfy those motives may be quite different. You aren't satisfied with just knowing what to do; how you do it is important to you, as well.

You will no doubt have a great many friends -- and enemies, too. How you deal with people directly is almost always fair and honest, but how others deal with you in response may be quite different; this says more about them than it does about you. Face it -- you can't please everyone!

Also born on this date are: Luke Perry, actor; Joan Cusack, actress; Steve Young, football player; Elmore Leonard, author and screenwriter; Jerome Robbins, Broadway choreographer; Eleanor Roosevelt, U.S. first lady.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What makes sense to you isn't likely to make sense to anyone else, even those who are trying to do the same things you are attempting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are several clear and concise steps to take before you can call it a day, and you must approach them in order and at the right times.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be willing to improvise, but you know that you can be much more successful by sticking to a well-organized plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your inner compass may not be quite accurate, leaving you vulnerable to moral or emotional confusion before the day is out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to follow your own train of thought for a while, except in a purely instinctive way. Certain developments surprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are things you must accomplish that require a clear head and a keen eye; you mustn't let yourself become impaired in any way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A look back at a certain episode from your past will give you valuable insight into something that lies in your immediate future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to use a little more ingenuity than usual to accomplish something that should actually be quite routine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can change the way you look, the way you speak and the way you act, but you'll still be recognized by those who know you best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to get more done than you planned, but it all depends upon making a strong, early start.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others are not likely to be affected by your complaining, so why bother? It's far better to accept the inevitable and work with it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a good understanding of the big issues facing you and others, but some of the smaller details may be too much for you.

Your Birthday for October 10, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 10th, 2013

Born today, you are never one to shy away from a controversial issue. You will always share your opinions with those around you, whether or not you have been asked to do so! Some may think you are loud and ill-mannered at times, and indeed you do not always observe all of the social graces, but you are never malicious or hurtful. You can mount quite an argument for almost any side of any issue, primarily because you make it your business to understand every side of every issue. This doesn't mean that you agree with everyone, but you do understand and appreciate an opposing point of view.

Also born on this date are: Dale Earnhardt Jr., auto racer; Brett Favre, football player; Tanya Tucker, singer; David Lee Roth, singer; Charles Dance, actor; Ben Vereen, actor, singer, dancer; Harold Pinter, playwright; Richard Jaeckel, actor; Thelonious Monk, musician; Edward D. Wood, filmmaker; Helen Hayes, actress; Giuseppe Verdi, composer.

You have a great deal of personal flair, and you almost always change a room dramatically simply by walking into it; the energy is immediately different because your energy is so pervasive and unique. You are confident and even cocky at times, but not without reason.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You needn't try to explain yourself -- just yet. Put the needs of another ahead of your own for a while and see what comes of it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't turn a blind eye to something you know to be undesirable. Instead, do what you can to eradicate it as quickly as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something you expect to be merely routine is likely to require more of you than you had anticipated. Fortunately, you're ready and willing.
