Your Birthday for November 01, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 1st, 2014

Born today, you are something of an oddball, in that you don't seem to fit into any one group in the expected way. What is remarkable, however, is that despite this, you are able to mix with almost any group of people with ease. Your ability to communicate, listen and share with others is perhaps your greatest strength. You genuinely care about others, and though there may be some who cynically assert that this is motivated by self-interest, the fact is that they are merely jealous of you and your ability to reach out and make a difference in the lives of those around you.

You are full of good ideas, and you are always looking for ways to put those ideas into motion. You are never at a loss for words when you feel there is something important on the line; you will express yourself openly, honestly and effectively in order to make an impact, with the hope of inspiring those around you to action.

Also born on this date are: Jenny McCarthy, television personality; Lyle Lovett, singer-songwriter and musician; Robert Foxworth, actor; Stephen Crane, author; Toni Collette, actress.

Your Birthday for October 31, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 31st, 2014

Born today, you are always keenly interested in knowing what is going on beneath the surface, what makes other people tick and how you fit into the grand scheme of things. This information is not always immediately accessible to you, however, so you are willing to engage in the kind of investigation that can lead to personal discoveries of all kinds -- including, ultimately, the answers to your biggest questions. You are both a thinker and a doer, and you will always have to balance your desire to ponder a problem with your need to get up and begin working on a solution. One, of course, can lead to the other if you are careful to balance thought and action.

You like to be heard, but you don't like to repeat yourself. This means that it is your responsibility to make yourself understood whenever you have something to convey, but you must accept the fact that it is not always the listener's fault if he or she doesn't grasp what you say!

Also born on this date are: Deidre Hall, actress; Jane Pauley, television journalist; Barbara Bel Geddes, actress; Dale Evans, actress; Dan Rather, television journalist; Michael Landon, actor; Rob Schneider, actor and comedian; John Keats, poet.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel as though you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that all depends on what you're ready to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be able to pick up the pace, but take care that you don't leave teammates in the dust. You must work together!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The instructions you receive may not be entirely clear, but you can fill in the blanks with your own knowledge and experience.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're trying to hide from something that would actually be beneficial to you if everyone were willing to come out in the open about it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's important that you stay in touch with those who seem to be on the right track. You can use a little of their guidance at this time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don't let your suspicions run away with you. You must not make decisions based only on what you think you know!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone who affects you in ways you do not entirely understand is likely to be more prominent today than in the recent past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have a difference of opinion with someone in charge. Take care that you don't try too hard to have the last word.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to see your team gel a bit more, but you also understand that such things take time. Use the power of suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have fun experiencing something for the first time. There is more than mere pleasure to be gained from this, of course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to look very carefully at what remains after something unexpected passes through. You can uncover some surprising evidence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to see your plans develop. You may receive information that you can put to good use immediately.

Your Birthday for October 30, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 30th, 2014

Born today, you are never one to confuse being well-known with being liked. Much of your life will be spent balancing these two very different states of being. If you had to choose, you would certainly choose being well-known over being popular. Like so many Scorpio natives, you insist on being allowed to grow and thrive in your own way, and popularity often involves a kind of sacrifice that you are loath to make. You are confident that if you are allowed to follow your own path in your own unique way, you will become renowned. Such a reward is valuable to you, and worth pursuing.

You like to be present at the beginning of a thing, rather than joining later, after everything has been decided upon. This is partially a result of your desire to be original -- but more, perhaps, the product of a desire to make a difference. You want everything you do to matter.

Also born on this date are: Ruth Gordon, actress; Grace Slick, singer; Henry Winkler, actor, director and producer; Harry Hamlin, actor; Ezra Pound, poet; John Adams, U.S. president.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be more excited about a new project than you had expected -- it's because of the people you will be meeting along the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone you trust may surprise you by making a decision that you felt would have been impossible for him or her to make.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your interaction with others will make all the difference. It's the little things that matter most. Don't ignore unspoken signals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be tempted to pursue a goal that others consider unrealistic or out of reach. You can prove them wrong!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The powers that be have been watching you, and very soon you'll enjoy the fruits of your past labors as a result. Make no demands just yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel you are nearing the finish line, but at the same time, you sense that someone may be moving the line. Complications arise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can press your advantage and come out on top. Seek out a friend who claims to have the answers. You can tell good from bad.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be called upon to make a choice very quickly. Someone is willing to give you some inside information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more you try to wrap your head around every little detail, the more likely you will be to lose touch with what you know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are doing what you have been asked to do, but is it enough? You may have to put in a little extra effort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Working closely with another, you may realize where you have been failing yourself in the past. It's time to make a change.
