Your Birthday for October 23, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 23rd, 2015

Born today, you are something of a character, the kind of individual who attracts attention not for what you accomplish so much as for who you are and how you behave. Indeed, the question of accomplishment may actually haunt you, for although you may feel that you do contribute a great deal, there are some who would assert that you are merely drifting blithely through life, doing what you please without a care in the world. There is, in fact, something to this perception, for you're not one to do what is expected of you or pursue goals that have been set for you by others. Rather, you do what you want, and in that way, you are far more likely than most to enjoy lasting contentment and satisfaction.

You may go through periods marked by a lack of drive and an unwillingness to step out of your comfort zone. When this happens, you're likely to disappear for a while, preferring your own company and insisting on maintaining a very private lifestyle. When the time comes, however, you're sure to burst forth, ready to take the world by storm once again.

Also born on this date are: Weird Al Yankovic, singer and satirist; Pele, soccer player; Michael Crichton, writer; Johnny Carson, television host; Ang Lee, filmmaker; Dwight Yoakam, singer and actor; Ryan Reynolds, actor.

Your Birthday for October 22, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are likely to attract a great deal of attention while you are very young. If luck and your ambition hold, this is likely to be true throughout your entire life. It is what happens during your formative years, however, that will prove most significant; the choices you make and the effects they have on you and others will determine the course of your entire life. Your opportunities to change from one path to another will be few and far between, but you're not the kind to change your mind about the important things, anyway. Like all Libra natives, you are quite adept at navigating all sorts of situations that the world might present to you.

Also like most Libra natives, you do your best to be true to yourself at all costs, though you may be more willing to compromise than some. Indeed, you are not one to stubbornly charge ahead in the face of great danger; for example, you know better than to insist on something when it may spell disaster for you and yours!

Also born on this date are: Annette Funicello, actress; Sarah Bernhardt, actress; Catherine Deneuve, actress; Jeff Goldblum, actor; Tony Roberts, actor; Timothy Leary, psychologist; Brian Boitano, Olympic figure skater; Karl Jansky, physicist; Christopher Lloyd, actor; Spike Jonez, filmmaker; Bob Odenkirk, actor.

Your Birthday for October 21, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 21st, 2015

Born today, you do not always do what will please those around you; indeed, you can rub others the wrong way very often! Still, there is something about you that keeps you from alienating anyone, and you are likely to attract a great many friends and admirers into your orbit despite your abrasive, controversial or downright unpleasant behavior. The truth is, like so many Libra natives, you are merely being yourself. If others cannot accept that, it says volumes about them without reflecting poorly on you at all. At least, that's how you think -- and thinking that way is what gets you through even the most difficult situations.

You aren't the kind to give lip service. What you say, you mean; and what you mean, you will almost always find an opportunity to say. It may not always be clear to others, but the fact is that you care a great deal for those around you. It must be said, however, that you care more for yourself on most occasions.

Also born on this date are: Kim Kardashian West, television personality; Carrie Fisher, actress; Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister; Judge Judy Sheindlin, television personality; Dizzy Gillespie, musician; Alfred Nobel, inventor; Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will want to get in touch with someone to clear the air about a mistake made not long ago. Honest talk can make it all OK.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your sense of right and wrong may be challenged when a loved one tries to walk a fine line. Don't sacrifice your good name!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Difficulties are accompanied by lessons, and those you learn right now are likely to stay learned for good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can put a new idea in motion before anyone else realizes what you're up to. The element of surprise is on your side.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you're not merely borrowing from another instead of doing something organic and original for yourself.
