Your Birthday for October 27, 2014

Your Birthday | October 27th, 2014

Born today, you are a rather secretive individual. At times, this is sure to make things harder for you than they have to be, as you will resist the need to share your troubles, trials and tribulations with those who could possibly help you through them. You tend to harbor all manner of feelings deep within, whether good or bad, and let them out only through bursts of creative activity. Indeed, though your feelings can be quite painful, they can result in a great deal of worthwhile productivity. Whether that productivity results in recognition and profit, however, is entirely up to you: If you pursue opportunities in a disciplined manner, you can surely succeed; if you don't, success will be elusive.

Despite the fact that you keep your feelings very much to yourself, you share your opinions rather freely with the rest of the world -- and you're seldom without an opinion about any given topic! You can be rather quick to take sides when a controversial issue is being debated. Indeed, it is the controversy itself that excites you more often than not.

Also born on this date are: Sylvia Plath, writer and poet; Nanette Fabray, singer; Roy Lichtenstein, artist; Ruby Dee, actress and writer; Simon Le Bon, singer; John Cleese, actor and comedian; Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. president; Dylan Thomas, poet.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may want to plan your entire day around one single event. Be sure that you're not putting too much emphasis where it doesn't belong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You and a friend may be onto something, but he or she doesn't know just how quickly you'll be able to progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your ideas can really come to something -- though you mustn't try to do too much at once, or you'll be shortchanging yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be jealous of another's accomplishments, but he or she isn't really doing anything that you don't know how to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want your questions answered in a timely manner, but you must make sure that you're asking them in a clear manner yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to give yourself over to the flow of events; trying to stop things from occurring can only work against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may receive a message that seems unclear or garbled, but that's all you're going to have to work with, so give it your best shot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The gravitational pull may be considerable. Those who are able to resist don't understand, as you do, how everything is conjoined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to take the first few steps toward a new goal. Don't wait until everything is clear -- where's the fun in that?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be feeling a little left out, but the truth is that you're the only one who is holding you back in any real way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can prove that you belong merely by doing what comes naturally. Don't assume that everyone knows what you know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be asked to repeat yourself, not because the first time wasn't good enough, but because it was so good others want it again!

Your Birthday for October 26, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 26th, 2014

Born today, you are not the kind to take many trips down memory lane. You prefer to live in the present, and if you do ever cast your eye in a different direction, it is almost always into the future, to see where you are going or what is coming your way. But for the most part, you don't let the future take up much of your time, either. You much prefer dedicating your thoughts and actions to currently prevailing issues. You avoid guessing about what might happen, choosing instead to focus on that which is certain, and for which there is empirical proof. Faith is something you leave to others.

Because you prefer to know things firsthand and to learn by experience, you are likely to travel much of the world in your lifetime, exposing yourself to different places, peoples and cultures, and learning as much about them as you can. Indeed, you may never actually have a permanent home base.

Also born on this date are: Lauren Tewes, actress; Jon Heder, actor; Mahalia Jackson, singer; Jaclyn Smith, actress; Cary Elwes, actor; Pat Sajak, TV game show host; Bob Hoskins, actor; Jackie Coogan, actor; Anthony Rapp, actor.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even the slightest effort will be memorable in some way. The ripple effect will magnify the results in a way that really matters.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't want to knock yourself off balance with a knee-jerk reaction or any intentional behavior that is ill-conceived. Use care!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The moment you've opened your mouth and the words have come out, you have reached the point at which backing out is not an option.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Listen to what your body is telling you. There are things that you need and things that you want -- you can have some of both.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day to spend money on something you have long considered. Binge spending, however, must be avoided.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been waiting on the sidelines long enough. Today, you're likely to encounter a situation that invites your direct participation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are not able to move forward until someone else gets out of your way -- or decides to help you in a way that others cannot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't have to like a person in order to work well with him or her and produce something that can have a lasting, positive impact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may want to rethink your overall approach. Something you are doing is rubbing others the wrong way, perhaps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- That which is strangest is also likely to be the most believable to you. You can make a case for almost anything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can perform well at the drop of a hat. What you have to offer exceeds expectations and can be inspiring to those around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The time has come for you to set aside your old ways and adopt a course of action that can begin paying off right away.

Your Birthday for October 25, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 25th, 2014

Born today, you have been known to make decisions quickly and definitively without really knowing much about the prevailing issues, and you will charge forward aggressively without having considered any outcome at all, whether positive or negative. You live your life in a kind of knee-jerk way, according to a philosophy that allows you to do precisely what you want when you want, regardless of the consequences or what others may think of you, your decisions or your behavior. All you ask is that you be left alone to do what you must; you demand no more than that of other people. In return for that consideration, you will do precisely the same.

To suggest that you are a reactive individual would be to state the obvious! Like all Scorpio natives, you are keenly aware of what goes on around you -- but only that which can affect you directly. Anything that is farther afield, or that doesn't impact you in some direct way, does not usually take up much of your time.

Also born on this date are: Tracy Nelson, actress; Anne Tyler, writer; Helen Reddy, singer; Minnie Pearl, comedian; Marion Ross, actress; Pablo Picasso, artist; Richard E. Byrd, explorer; Leo G. Carroll, actor; Georges Bizet, composer.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you have to contribute is worth a great deal, but it may not be quite ready for mainstream acceptance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've been making wishes lately, and a few have come true, but one or two may be giving you fits as they become more and more elusive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can put things in a more interesting and intriguing way if you break with tradition and trust your own immediate instincts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's essential that everything you do come from the heart. No one will be able to provide you with answers except yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A stranger is likely to be much more than a friend by day's end. Things move quickly at this time because you're more open and honest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The more honest you can be with yourself, the more likely you will be to see in yourself what others have already seen for some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What happens by chance isn't likely to disturb you, but what was intentional is almost sure to be somewhat alarming.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be attracted to another, or to his or her current endeavor, for reasons that you do not fully understand -- but you don't have to!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't want to stand by and watch things happen without you. It's involvement that you crave -- and you can have it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to work more quickly than usual in order to avoid a fast-approaching hazard. Once it's past, you can relax some.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're waiting for something to pass without doing anything to ensure that it will cause you no harm. Get more involved!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may at first be considered only a replacement, but later in the day, your own considerable worth will be recognized.
