Your Birthday for October 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 2nd, 2014

Born today, you are always on the lookout for that extraordinary opportunity -- and at the same time, you are never in a hurry. This is a formidable combination, for it means that you will always take the time you need to make the most of whatever chance you may be given in life, and to do your best no matter how slow and painstaking the work may be. Indeed, you are better at that which smolders than bursts into flames -- and this is true in love as well. You aren't the kind to enjoy countless passionate affairs; rather, you are likely to build a lasting and loving relationship slowly, from the ground up -- and enjoy true, lifelong satisfaction.

There are surely going to be those who misunderstand you and what you are trying to do at any given time, and you may find yourself engaged in rather serious conflicts with forces working against you -- but such battles are won, you understand fully, by letting time work its magic, for time is almost always on your side.

Also born on this date are: Mahatma Gandhi, Indian leader; Sting, singer; Kelly Ripa, actress and TV host; Avery Brooks, actor; Richard III, King of England; Groucho Marx, actor and comic; Bud Abbott, actor and comic; Annie Leibovitz, photographer; Don McLean, singer and songwriter; Donna Karan, designer; Lorraine Bracco, actress; Chris LeDoux, singer.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You and a loved one are probably trying to achieve the very same thing, but you're going about it in very different ways. Conflict arises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you're really after at this time is hands-on involvement, and you can have it if you spend time with the right people.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Today proves important as you identify just the precise path you are to take to reach a destination of which you have long dreamed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone comes to you with a problem that only you can solve -- and yet the solution may not come to you easily.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your potential is on the rise, and those around you sense that something big is in the offing -- even if you don't.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been observing those around you long enough. Today, it's time to take part -- and even assume a leading role in a major endeavor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're in the mood for something you may not be able to get your hands on until you conduct a thorough and exhaustive search.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Once you get past your most critical judge, you should be home free. That first step, however, will take some careful planning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be misunderstanding or misinterpreting someone else's behavior today. You may, in fact, be the cause of it all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A solid plan can be made today, but you may not be able to put it into motion right away. A certain key obstacle must be overcome first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Do you have what it takes to do what is necessary today? You understand, of course, that it may involve bending or breaking the rules, yes?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be able to help another in the way that he or she had been hoping -- but you can contribute something valuable, surely.

Your Birthday for October 01, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 1st, 2014

Born today, you are sometimes mistaken for a Gemini native -- or, on rare occasions, even a Cancerian -- for you seem to have two very distinct sides to your very complex personality. On the one hand, you are outgoing, vibrant and even aggressive in your dealings with others, especially when you are going after something you dearly want. On the other, you can be so protective of your own privacy that others never really get the chance to know you all that well -- leaving them to guess what you might really be like. What is most tricky, of course, is that you may never know which "you" will prove dominant at any given time.

You are a deeply caring individual, and what happens to others affects you profoundly, even if it doesn't impact you directly. You are not the kind, however, to wear your heart on your sleeve; despite the fact that you feel things deeply, you may at times seem objective and rather cold. Again, it's that twin nature of yours!

Also born on this date are: Julie Andrews, actress and singer; Zach Galifianakis, actor and comedian; Jimmy Carter, U.S. president; Richard Harris, actor; Tom Bosley, actor; Walter Matthau, actor; Matt Cain, baseball player; Stella Stevens, actress; George Peppard, actor; Rod Carew, baseball player; Vladimir Horowitz, pianist.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone who did you wrong some time ago is likely to come to you today -- indirectly, perhaps -- and beg forgiveness. You can surely grant it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to share your feelings -- but do so only with those who have a history of listening, caring and taking care.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be treading in dangerous waters at this time. The faster you can get yourself out of a current situation, the better.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Preparation is the key to success -- yesterday, today and tomorrow. Today, however, you'll have more valuable tools at your disposal perhaps.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't waste your time trying to get even today. Focus, instead, on doing things that can help you avoid any kind of conflict now and in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- They say that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Which are you, today? You may want to make some subtle changes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can make use of a little more creativity than usual today. Don't focus on what can't be done, but on what can -- or might!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have the feeling that that which is certain is overrated, and you're interested in exploring those things that are more up in the air.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You want to avoid any kind of overexertion today -- and yet you may not be able to get away with it altogether. Certain efforts tax you!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to hold true to that which has worked for you in the past. Be sure to act quickly when you see things going awry.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're waiting for something to come through that was put into motion some time ago. What is the holdup? You're growing impatient.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're very interested in "hidden meanings" today, but be careful that you don't assign meaning to that which really has none.

Your Birthday for September 30, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 30th, 2014

Born today, you are a strong and forceful individual, and yet you never have to be overly aggressive to win someone to your point of view, or to persuade him or her to do something you want done. You have an easy manner that belies the tremendous force that runs in swift currents beneath the surface, and even those who are most resistant to you are not likely to remain immune to your power or charm for long. If arguing doesn't work for you, a look or a shrug will do just as well in time -- and you seem to know all the "tricks" to use to get your way. Take care, however! You don't want to become known as one who always has to have your own way!

You don't always subscribe to the kinds of attitudes or beliefs that are most popular; indeed, the more unusual an idea is, the more likely you will be to explore it, test it, and try it on for size. You like exploring all manner of beliefs and ideologies.

Also born on this date are: Fran Drescher, actress; Barry Williams, actor; Johnny Mathis, singer; Angie Dickinson, actress; Jenna Elfman, actress; Marion Cotillard, actress; Buddy Rich, drummer; Marilyn McCoo, singer; Truman Capote, author; Jack Wild, actor; Martina Hingis, tennis player; Eric Stoltz, actor; Deborah Kerr, actress.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That which was missing can be replaced today -- at last -- but you may still have to make up for lost time, and a missed opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Not everything is likely to pan out as you had hoped or expected today -- but you can certainly make the best of almost any situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pick up the pace today and let others work to catch up with you if they so choose. You have your own agenda, and needn't wait around!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be far from home today, but you are feeling the pangs of something from long ago that has you missing the familiar.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can take something that is only average at best and turn it into something extraordinary by day's end. Others are impressed!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to be so concerned with the way things look today that what you do is all style and no substance. Focus on the nitty-gritty!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're going to have to work harder than usual today to get everything lined up according to taste -- and priority. Keep at it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll finally have that important piece of information available to you today -- and yet you may not be able to put it to good use just yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Success or failure today is a matter of timing, and of using the right tool for the right job. There are certain rules to follow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who was important to you is likely to exert a surprising influence today, even though he or she is actually far away now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have the sense that someone is looking over your shoulder -- not to criticize in any way, but to protect you somehow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be warned about what is on its way, but you may not believe everything you hear -- until you are faced with it directly.
