Your Birthday for October 28, 2015

Your Birthday | October 28th, 2015

Born today, you are not likely to miss out on many opportunities in life, whether personal or professional. Your habit of putting yourself front and center as often as possible is sure to bring you all you want -- and more. What is most important at all times, is that you remain true to yourself, follow your heart, keep your beliefs and ideals intact and never let the world corrupt you in any way. It is important for you to do what you feel you must do -- once you learn the ropes and know how to make your way. You are able to mix and mingle with all types -- even those who rub you the wrong way. This will surely help you in your professional pursuits.

You are charming, knowledgeable, easy on the eyes and ears, and able to inject both spice and humor into any situation. Others enjoy having you around. Still, there are times when you will choose privacy over social interaction, and others must respect this in you, lest they lose your friendship and company altogether.

Also born on this date are: Julia Roberts, actress; Edith Head, costume designer; Cleo Laine, actress; Jane Alexander, actress; Joaquin Phoenix, actor; Bill Gates, software magnate; Jonas Salk, physician; Dennis Franz, actor; Charlie Daniels, singer.

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.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're reminded of something that has been of only moderate significance lately. It is once more first on your list.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have more to choose from than usual, so you may want to invite a friend or loved one along to share his or her unique perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're ready to look more deeply into a certain issue than you have at any time in the past. What you learn about yourself is invaluable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to be forgiven a certain recent offense, but it isn't likely to be entirely forgotten anytime soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone is following you closely, but you must take care not to tip your hand or allow him or her to get the better of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Patience is likely to get you what you want, but not in the manner you had anticipated. Playing the waiting game is unavoidable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be gravitating toward those who share with you something hidden that you aren't yet willing to reveal -- to yourself or others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to work harder to get what you want from someone who is just being stubborn. A change in the weather has an unusual effect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you want and what you are offered are two very different things. You may have to go off script to secure the essentials.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can make things up as you go along and still reap the rewards you are after. Indeed, improvisation may yield more than preparation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't wait to get started; the sooner you put things in motion, the sooner you begin to enjoy the payoff.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not one to assume others will get everything done on their own as expected. You'll want to get in there and do some of it yourself.

Your Birthday for October 27, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 27th, 2015

Born today, you are remarkably self-possessed and self-aware, but you are not always able to maintain a high level of control in your life. This can, at times, plunge you into a personal darkness from which it is very difficult to rise again. Fortunately, you know how to build a valuable and necessary support system around yourself -- people and ideas that mean so much to you that they give you reason to fight against your blackest moods and return once more to the land of light and laughter. You are highly expressive, deeply contemplative and often able to see things that others cannot, literally and figuratively. Life means a great deal to you, and you think about this often.

You do have a vivid, though rather unconventional, sense of humor; you laugh at things that others simply do not find funny. You enjoy sharing the important things in life with those closest to you, but there are times when you choose, instead, to isolate yourself -- usually only for short periods of time.

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

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The view you have of coming events allows you to anticipate certain peripheral occurrences and results with remarkable accuracy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be in need of something that only a certain someone can provide, and you know just how, when and where to ask for it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your thoughts are likely far from home, with someone who is going through a personal trial of sorts. Surely it's time to reach out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should be able to increase efficiency and effectiveness by including those who have been wanting to help you for some time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be growing tired of doing that which is good for you, yet you know that to do otherwise may be downright dangerous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What occurs in the dark is worth some serious consideration, and it won't take much to bring it to light when the time comes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Be careful not to overreact to unsettling developments. Take everything in stride, and help others see things in the right way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to give someone a warning of some kind, but you must do it in a way that doesn't tip your hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The best way to get to your destination is to avoid any kind of distraction early in the journey. Be sure to get well on your way!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that a stunt doesn't go wrong. Focus on what someone else wants, and you'll be able to get what you want as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something someone else is doing is likely to interest you, but you may have to watch from a distance for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your ability to go with the flow serves you and others well, but you may later have to turn and go against the current.

Your Birthday for October 26, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 26th, 2015

Born today, you know how to organize, rally the troops and stay on task. You make your efforts more efficient and effective with each passing attempt in order to maximize rewards for yourself and others. You are only truly content when you are using these talents to the fullest, as head of a group that is personally challenging, forward-moving, forward-thinking and important. Indeed, this last is probably the key element: You want to be involved with things that are meaningful -- not only to you, but to others -- and you want to be remembered for that. However, if you are given the choice between doing something with real meaning that wins results without fanfare or being remembered for your efforts in less critical matters, you'll choose the former, surely.

You don't always approach your personal affairs with the same organizational aplomb that you bring to work and business, with the expected result that not everything is likely to go according to plan. You have a way, however, of adjusting to changing circumstances in order to avoid too much personal upset or disappointment.

Also born on this date are: Lauren Tewes, actress; Mahalia Jackson, singer; Jaclyn Smith, actress and model; Cary Elwes, actor; Pat Sajak, game show host; Bob Hoskins, actor; Jackie Coogan, actor; Dylan McDermott, actor; Natalie Merchant, singer-songwriter.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have every reason to stay the course, but you are on the verge of changing your mind -- and your immediate future, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have misremembered something recently, with the unforeseen result that you are not where you are supposed to be right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have a run-in of sorts with someone more powerful than you, but you should be able to hold your own when it counts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may think that you've positioned yourself ahead of the pack, but someone else is gaining on you very quickly. Keep up the pace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have trouble mustering enthusiasm for something that doesn't suit your fancy. Someone close to you thinks he or she knows what's best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're getting closer to your destination, but not everyone sees the progress you've been making. You know how important every step has been.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Plan your day carefully. Not everyone needs to know what you are doing at every moment. Some things are best kept under wraps for now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to find some way to announce yourself, and the best method may be staring you right in the face! Take advantage of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're ready to make a deal with someone in charge. What you propose is perhaps unusual, but it can surely get the job done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to learn more about something that has been calling to you for quite some time. Let the road lead you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have more options available to you than you had supposed. A friend yields to your suggestion. Give someone a second chance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can actually gain a great deal by doing something in a very conventional way. Events point to a sea change later; are you ready?
