Your Birthday | October 24th, 2015

Born today, you have what it takes to be one of the most accomplished individuals born under your sign. The stars have endowed you with both the talent and the drive to make the most of the opportunities that are presented to you outright, as well as those that you dig up in the course of your daily life. You're not the kind to let things develop by accident; you want to have a controlling influence over your own life. In this regard, you will do all you can to know as much as possible -- about yourself, about those around you and about the world as a whole. You are, in effect, a student of life; as such, you will always be active, astute, able and very much alive.

You have a way of balancing all different aspects of your life in such a way that they do not conflict with each other very often. This is sure to win you admiration from those who are, for the most part, unable to do the same. Indeed, you are an example of both creativity and responsibility.

Also born on this date are: Kevin Kline, actor; F. Murray Abraham, actor; Moss Hart, playwright; PewDiePie, YouTube personality; Drake, hip-hop artist and actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your attitude may be standing in your way. Follow another's lead as he or she approaches things more lightheartedly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have much more fight in you than a rival may suppose. He or she is likely to be surprised by what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Putting yourself in another's shoes may seem like nothing more than a hypothetical proposition, but you can learn a great deal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Big things can begin in very small ways. You'll want to pay particular attention to something that happens almost invisibly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- One or two surprise events change the way you think about the day. What you do as a result is likely to propel you forward more quickly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't expect to be perfect right away; get used to the idea that most things will take two or three tries, at least.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Some things don't come as naturally as others, and you may end up having to do something that is utterly foreign to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may come up with a new way of communicating an old idea to your teammates. Someone is interested in pursuing this further.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can give someone some invaluable assistance -- or vice versa. In fact, it's likely to go both ways before the day is out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try not to take things too seriously. A bit of whimsy can do wonders for you as you tackle a certain personal issue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The same old things aren't likely to give you the pleasure they once did. It's time to explore some new options recently presented.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have lost track of something you need in order to progress at the usual pace. Find it -- or get used to things moving more slowly.

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.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You won't have to travel far from home to experience something entirely foreign to you. You'll want to explore further.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be able to perform well under a wide range of circumstances; anyone who challenges you will have his or her hands full.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Use caution when exploring unknown territory. Don't give anyone reason to doubt your ability to keep yourself and others safe.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll require certain assurances from others before you stick your own neck out in support of something they're trying to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to see to the heart of an issue with relative ease will come in handy. Friends will very soon follow in your footsteps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone who does things very differently from the way you do them may challenge you to shake things up in some way. Give it a try!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Something that has taken little time in the past may require more of a commitment than you're used to making. Examine your schedule closely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Something new proves attractive to you, but you're not about to jump into a new line of endeavor just yet. Talk it through!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You aren't likely to give anyone else cause for worry, yet at some point, you'll choose to do something rather unusual.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not be entirely pleased with the way something is going, but there is little you can do to alter its course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A memory causes you both pain and pleasure -- and ultimately has you making up your mind about something you've long struggled with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Share what happens to you with another -- it's sure to mean much more to both of you when all is said and done.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can experiment with several different approaches, as long as you realize that you're trying to accomplish only one key thing.
