Your Birthday for October 14, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 14th, 2013

Born today, you are a principled, highly intelligent individual for whom the ideas of right and wrong are not merely theoretical notions, but hard-and-fast, inflexible absolutes to which you bind yourself on a daily basis and which help you navigate through life in a productive, confident, morally sound way. You are always able to avoid the kinds of confusion that so many others are susceptible to when it comes to such things, and you cannot seem to understand why others may have trouble knowing where the line exists. As far as you are concerned, a person need only listen to his or her heart to know if he or she is in the right.

You are a hard worker, and you will always see a project through to its completion even though it is difficult and may require a certain degree of sacrifice in the process. There is something rather old-fashioned about your work ethic, which doesn't acknowledge the possibility of failure or of falling short of a goal.

Also born on this date are: Lillian Gish, actress; Dwight D. Eisenhower, U.S. military leader and president; Ralph Lauren, fashion designer; William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania; e.e. cummings, poet.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone is not likely to get an important message, so it will be up to you to step in and protect him from himself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Another's definition of success is not the same as yours. Demonstrate that what you're after is right for you -- now and always.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are eager to discover what lies down the path that you cannot clearly see. What is making you lean in that direction? Find out!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be grateful for someone else's generosity, but you mustn't do anything that makes it look like you're taking advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone else has unusual needs that you have long acknowledged; today you may find yourself in a position to satisfy at least some of them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A key friendship proves more important than it has in even the recent past. This person knows you better than you know yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't be so bold that you do something that rubs another the wrong way. Even you must observe a certain level of propriety.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to point out someone who is not following the rules, though your intention is not to get him or her into trouble, surely.

Your Birthday for October 13, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 13th, 2013

Born today, you have what it takes to interest others, inspire them and drive them to achieve more than they might otherwise. You are an attractive individual, with remarkable energy and drive, and you know how to talk to others in a way that really matters. You're never one for small talk! You enjoy being swept away in a moment that is rare and meaningful, and you will go out of your way to find such moments -- or to create them -- again and again. You are never satisfied by routine, and you do what you can to keep others from being routine or ordinary as well. Life can be a great deal of fun, and you wouldn't have it any other way!

You are quite sensual -- and sensuous. You may often be drawn into physical encounters that are not destined to be long-lasting or permanent in any way, but which are thoroughly enjoyable. It is likely that you will break many hearts in your lifetime, but fall in love yourself only once.

Also born on this date are: Sacha Baron Cohen, actor and comedian; Nancy Kerrigan, Olympic skater; Kelly Preston, actress; Jerry Rice, football player; Marie Osmond, singer and entertainer; Paul Simon, singer and songwriter; Lenny Bruce, comic; Margaret Thatcher, British prime minister; Yves Montand, actor; Cornel Wilde, actor; L.L. Bean, outdoorsman, merchant.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's up to you to determine just what the true results of a given endeavor will be. Enjoy being in charge for a while!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to be reminded of what is most important, though you may not be reunited with it for another day or two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Home is where the heart is, so fret not if you find yourself far afield. You can maintain a strong bond with those who really matter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have your priorities in proper order, but there may be a few difficulties that result from an unexpected lapse in your thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to pretend to be someone else in order to get around certain obstacles that are placed in your way by a rival.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In your case, practice can indeed make perfect, or at least make it possible for you to score very high, indeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A rival tests you. Give yourself over to the desires of a loved one, and you can make the most out of your evening hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A teammate is getting better and better at the game, but you can remain one step ahead of him and offer a few surprises as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your personal affairs will inform your professional activities more than usual. You can indeed combine business and pleasure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your expectations may be so weighty that it is virtually impossible for you to be completely satisfied. Little pleasures do count!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be able to chart most of your day in a clear, organized fashion -- but one episode later on defies any sort of anticipation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are not wholly suited to the task that lies before you, but a friend can give you some pointers and you can acquit yourself well.

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.

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.
