Your Birthday for October 05, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 5th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most compelling individuals born under your sign. It is likely that you will attract a special kind of attention from an early age, and this is something that you can parlay into considerable success as you grow older. It's not that you want to be a "glory hog" -- on the contrary, you are best in collaborative situations -- but you do want to be noticed and recognized for what you accomplish. You are confident that your accomplishments can and will prove important -- to others, to the world at large and to the times in which you live. You are comfortable among all sorts of people, and your friends come from all walks of life.

You have a great deal of sex appeal, but for someone like you, the grass is often greener on the other side of the fence -- and though you may seem to have everything going for you, you may often find yourself yearning for something out of reach.

Also born on this date are: Kate Winslet, actress; Bernie Mac, actor; Jesse Eisenberg, actor; Mario Lemieux, hockey player; Larry Fine, actor and comic; Karen Allen, actress; Guy Pearce, actor; Ray Kroc, entrepreneur; Allen Ludden, game show host; Steve Miller, musician; Chester A. Arthur, U.S. president; Glynis Johns, actress; Daniel Baldwin, actor; Donald Pleasence, actor.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't be afraid of saying what is obvious to you, because almost inevitably, someone will not have thought of it at all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself at the center of a great deal of activity today -- and yet you may still be able to maintain some level of privacy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Nothing is likely to come of a safe or retiring stance today. You must be willing to put yourself out there and see what rewards may be yours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to have no shortage of viable ideas today. The trick, of course, will be paring them down and making something of them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be concerned about how someone else will take what you have to offer, but no misunderstanding or misinterpretation is likely today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not likely to take things for granted today. You are entering a phase that allows you to derive more meaning from most situations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be surprised to learn exactly what you have been up to lately -- when all this time you thought you knew what you were doing!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're going to have to perform well today, as you're likely to find yourself in front of an audience that can be quite critical.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You won't want to risk much today until you know what it is you may have to gain as a result. You're not foolhardy, after all!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must be clear and specific today -- even utterly transparent -- if you want others to accept your point of view and sign on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're tempted to give up much in return for very little today -- but with a little planning, you can reverse the ratio.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have what it takes to make a strong, lasting statement today -- and others are eager to see you take a stand in this way.

Your Birthday for October 04, 2014

Your Birthday | October 4th, 2014

Born today, you have a certain mischief in your nature that is likely to play with the minds of those around you -- but never in a bad way! You are a charming, beguiling individual, and your tendency to see things in a rather "naughty" or otherwise unconventional way will make you a favorite among many -- and your presence will always be sought at the most important, and most fun, social engagements. You know how to get what you want, surely -- but what is more important is that you know how to get what others want, as well, and that is what will make you so very popular throughout your lifetime. You are also, as are so many Libra natives, very generous -- with your time, attention and resources.

You enjoy both work and play, and there are times when the line separating the two becomes rather blurred -- or when it is obscured altogether. Indeed, you have a way of mixing business with pleasure in such a way that you enjoy all the benefits of doing so, and have to endure few, if any, of the pitfalls.

Also born on this date are: Alicia Silverstone, actress; Susan Sarandon, actress; Charlton Heston, actor; Rutherford B. Hayes, U.S. president; Liev Schreiber, actor; Christoph Waltz, actor; Buster Keaton, actor and comic; Abraham Benrubi, actor; Jackie Collins, author; Tony La Russa, baseball manager; Anne Rice, author.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're ready to return to a state of normalcy, after going through something rather extraordinary -- though you were not alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Another's contributions to a personal project of yours will deepen the relationship you already have -- and make you eager for more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be trying to make sense of a decision that someone close to you has recently made -- and yet you may never fully understand it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What a friend or loved one needs from you right now is sympathy and support -- which do not, remember, require understanding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to continue along your current path today, due to unforeseen circumstances that are, fortunately, only temporary.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Ask someone for help today and you'll find yourself in a position to help, in turn, when the time comes. New bonds are being forged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Honesty is indeed the best policy throughout the day. Don't try to take an easier road just because someone else makes it work temporarily.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A little experimentation can result in a lot of good work -- but take care that you don't leave all the decisions until the last minute.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're likely to hit on an idea today that can make a big difference to you and those who share with you some tricky circumstances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your view of things may not be entirely in sync with the views others have -- but there are ways to achieve a productive compromise today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not hear what you want to hear today, but you can take the message that does come your way and turn it into gold.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't take things so literally today. Everything around you will carry more weight if you see it through a more symbolic lens.

Your Birthday for October 03, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 3rd, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most adventurous, lively and even rambunctious individuals born under your sign. You are also colorful, accepting and generous to a fault -- and you will never put your own desires over another who seems to be more in need than you. You are a rather fearless individual, willing and able to face down any kind of challenge with confidence -- and even eagerness and zeal. You don't let everyday concerns get you down, which is something that others might mistake for carelessness or even callousness at times. The truth is that you pick your battles, choosing quite carefully those events and issues that are most important to you.

You are a uniquely successful individual, in that you are able to enjoy triumph after triumph doing precisely what you want -- and if not, then you haven't found that perfect job yet! You know how to turn one success into two -- and then, usually, three or four!

Also born on this date are: Gwen Stefani, singer; Neve Campbell, actress; Stevie Ray Vaughan, musician; Lena Headey, actress; Clive Owen, actor; Al Sharpton, civil rights leader; Lindsey Buckingham, musician and singer; Gore Vidal, author; Dave Winfield, baseball player.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Communication from one "in the trenches" has you wondering about the work you are doing yourself. Perhaps you can up the ante somehow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's time for you to put your money where your mouth is and actually do what you have been talking about for so long. Stop stalling!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone is waiting for you, just as you are waiting for someone else. It becomes clear to you today how everything is interconnected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Practicing something that doesn't come naturally isn't always going to be fun, but today it can prove particularly beneficial in many ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're interested in seeing where a budding relationship may actually go -- but take care that you don't send out any false signals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are concerned that those in authority will not allow you to pursue your goals in your own way, but today that is not the case.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A creative endeavor becomes more complicated as others jump on board. You can still maintain a controlling influence, however.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to spend time on something rather trivial today before you settle down to work on something that means a great deal to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A change of plans needn't mean that you sacrifice your own work today; you can still get things done -- but perhaps in a different way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will find yourself trusting others in a way that you haven't in the past -- and this bodes well for a project that you are soon to start.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- As the clock ticks, you will be able to check off things in a clear, prioritized order -- or you will be disappointed that nothing gets done!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Don't wait too long before you begin to implement the changes that you have been considering for a while. It's a good day to experiment.
