Your Birthday for October 10, 2014

Your Birthday | October 10th, 2014

Born today, you are a born artist. While young, you will require a great deal of latitude to explore the options that present themselves to you, and to narrow down the possibilities that can one day lead you over the threshold of professional accomplishment and success. Your talents are many, and your interests even more numerous. One of the hardest things you will have to do in life is choose where to focus your energies. Just remember, you probably won't have to choose only one course of professional endeavor. As long as you are true to yourself and dedicated in your work habits, you can accomplish much even as you change paths again and again -- provided the timing is right.

You can be something of a loner; you certainly do your finest work on your own. There will be times, however, when the contributions of others will figure significantly in your own work. You must never ignore a good idea simply because you didn't think of it! A good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from!

Also born on this date are: Mario Lopez, actor and television personality; Brett Favre, football player; Dale Earnhardt Jr., race car driver; David Lee Roth, singer; Ben Vereen, actor, singer and dancer; Troy Tulowitzki, baseball player; Thelonious Monk, musician; Julia Sweeney, actress and comedian; Tanya Tucker, singer; Helen Hayes, actress; Bradley Whitford, actor; Ed Wood, director; Chris Penn, actor; Guiseppe Verdi, composer; Peter Coyote, actor; Charles Dance, actor.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The time you have for thinking will blend seamlessly with the time you've been given to get things done. You can do both simultaneously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Plans are made without you as you work alone on something that will surely enable you to have the last laugh.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're enjoying a creative streak that is likely to take you through the entire month, but today you must make concrete plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll have more time than usual to get routine things taken care of, leaving you with a little less time for emergency measures.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- That which seems to make perfect sense to you upon first viewing is likely to be quite complex and possibly confusing when you revisit it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The rumors you hear will have you proceeding in a new direction, but take care that you're not leaving all caution behind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you don't let yourself be fooled by one who actually knows much less than you do. Trust others, but trust wisely!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Developments have you turning about, wondering which way you should go next. Nothing is quite what it seems at one point during the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You don't want to trade one problem for another. In solving your most pressing issues, you'll want to maintain a broad view.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Originality is not the problem; you can surely be quite original. The problem lies in trying to follow in another's footsteps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to create for yourself a valuable opportunity. Others will surely want to know what you're up to.

Your Birthday for October 09, 2014

Your Birthday | October 9th, 2014

Born today, you have a vivid imagination, and you are likely to develop the tools you need to turn the products of that imagination into reality. Like all Libra natives, you are keenly interested in fair treatment and the ability to pursue your own dreams in a free and unfettered fashion, yet there are times when your own fears, buried deep beneath the surface, may do more to hold you back than other people or circumstances. What is most important, then, is that you come to understand those fears, so that you can face them, rise above them and render them powerless over you. Once you do this, the world will be your oyster!

You can be quite serious, of course -- as can every Libra native -- but your unique perspective allows you to laugh at things that others are unable to laugh at. This can give you the advantage when things get tough. You believe that laughter can overcome almost anything.

Also born on this date are: John Lennon, singer-songwriter and musician; Sharon Osbourne, television personality; Tony Shalhoub, actor; Scott Bakula, actor; Brandon Routh, actor; Jackson Browne, singer-songwriter; Scotty McCreery, singer; Brian Blessed, actor; John Entwistle, musician; Guillermo Del Toro, director; Camille Saint-Saens, composer; Bruce Catton, historian.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not feel as though everything is correctly in place, and you'll be prompted to go back and review as much as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can mount a challenge to an individual who has been in control for quite a while. In your view, it's time for someone else to take the reins.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be in the driver's seat for much of the day, but when the time comes, you will be ready to give someone else a chance to guide the project.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can trust your instincts to steer you in the right direction when your senses are not able to give you accurate information.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can expect a slowdown today, but that shouldn't keep you from reaching your destination. Priorities may shift somewhat, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The work you do for someone else is no less valuable than that which you do for yourself. What goes around comes around.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be paying too much attention to what another is doing, and not enough attention to what you should be doing. Concentrate!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be grateful for the assistance you receive from someone who has been in your position in the past. He or she knows the ropes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A walk down memory lane may actually lead you to some danger, but you can avoid it if you keep your priorities straight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're facing a rather stubborn problem that is better solved at home than anywhere else. Make time to deal with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- There is reason for you to be hopeful about a situation that is finally coming to a climax. You can prevail when all is said and done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Employ patience, and you'll avoid the pitfalls that threaten those around you who are racing about as if speed were everything.

Your Birthday for October 08, 2014

Your Birthday | October 8th, 2014

Born today, you are not at all an adventurer, yet you are destined to forge a path in life that is very much your own. While you are not one to choose a leadership position, you are not the kind to get lost in the crowd, either. There is much more in your nature that seems rather paradoxical, but you chalk this up to being a complex individual who doesn't always pay attention to the way things are "supposed" to be done. You are not worried about consistency; you let your own nature dictate your future, and if others have trouble understanding you, then so be it. You don't live your life to satisfy others.

You are far more interested in quality than quantity. Because of this, you have a greater understanding of the power of money than many others, and you will no doubt learn how to make a little go a long way as a result. It is not so much that you are overly frugal, just smart!

Also born on this date are: Bella Thorne, actress; Bruno Mars, singer; Matt Damon, actor; Chevy Chase, actor and comedian; R.L. Stine, author; Sigourney Weaver, actress; Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader; Stephanie Zimbalist, actress; Emily Procter, actress; Paul Hogan, actor; Rona Barrett, columnist; Eddie Rickenbacker, World War I pilot.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Today's the day you've been waiting for. Whether it involved doing more or less, what you want is what you'll very likely get.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Assume nothing, and get the facts. When you encounter two conflicting reports, your own investigation can set things straight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been trying very hard to get another individual to do for you what you should be doing for yourself. Stop playing this game.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Personal experience teaches you much, whether it is your own or someone else's. Indeed, what others go through can be most instructive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be encountered by one who knows more than you do about certain things that will come in handy today. Share opinions and info.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been working hard at something that isn't likely to yield the results you have been hoping for. Today's efforts can lead elsewhere.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to receive both praise and criticism, but you know which one will seem more significant to you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not know what's what until you step back and look at everything from a more instinctive point of view. Don't try so hard!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to see how others have fared in a situation not unlike your own. Focus on the little things that they do differently.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will have to look closely at what happens throughout the day. Connect the dots, and you'll increase your understanding of events.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Those working with you mustn't be allowed to carry more of the burden than you do. You must make sure that everyone is treated fairly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that someone else doesn't surge ahead of you because you've allowed yourself to slip slightly out of position.
