Your Birthday for October 02, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 2nd, 2016

Born today, you are one of those rare individuals able to see everything in life in a positive light and to live life to the fullest even under the most routine or mundane of circumstances. You have been endowed with such a positive outlook that you will face even the most difficult or challenging situations with confidence in the future. Your sense that things always work out for the best will not necessarily get you far on its own, but it will surely enable you to avoid many of the emotional and psychological pitfalls that threaten those who view things more pessimistically. You are able to take the good and make it better, but you are perhaps at your best when you take the bad and make it good! You have a kind of Midas touch in this regard, and you employ it freely.

You are not blind to the harsh realities of the world or to the injustices that plague those around you. On the contrary, you see them for what they are -- symptoms rather than causes. You prefer to address those root causes in order to devise a long-term or permanent solution to the big problems in life.

Also born on this date are: Mahatma Gandhi, Indian leader; Sting, singer; Kelly Ripa, actress and television host; Avery Brooks, actor; King Richard III of England; Groucho Marx, actor and comedian; Bud Abbott, actor and comedian; Annie Leibovitz, photographer; Don McLean, singer-songwriter; Donna Karan, designer; Lorraine Bracco, actress; Chris LeDoux, singer; Vernor Vinge, novelist.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll receive only snippets of information that you will need to assemble yourself in order to proceed according to plan.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've been playing it safe for quite a while, but you may have the opportunity to put it all on the line -- with minimal risk, in fact!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're nearing a crisis point, but that is nothing to fear. You are ready to be seemingly forced into making a clear decision.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A personal situation is likely to come to the fore as you are asked to consider doing something that could change everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to rely on a logical study of what is going on. Instead, let your instincts tell you what is right and what is wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're dealing with issues that are broader in scope than expected. The decisions you make are likely to affect you well into the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to stop what you're doing -- not once, but at least twice -- in order to accommodate the wishes of a family member.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may think you've entered into a fair bargain, but the truth is that someone involved is trying to take advantage of you. Be careful!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must remain flexible and fluid throughout the day; don't let yourself get bogged down by one style or a single purpose. Diversify!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are sitting pretty, but you don't want to make the mistake of thinking that no one could overtake you. Protect yourself!

Your Birthday for October 01, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 1st, 2016

Born today, you are one of the most honestly and clearly expressive individuals born under your sign. You not only understand the power of words, but you will almost surely make it your life's work to become an expert at verbal expression, both written and spoken. This doesn't mean, however, that you will eschew the physical! On the contrary, you have been endowed with tremendous physical skills of all kinds, but you will never turn your back on your ability to say and write things that affect those around you quite deeply. Indeed, you are at your best when you use words and action together to drive home your point. In this way, the combination of verbal expression and physical exertion become synergistic.

Your sense of humor tends toward the unusual; you can laugh at things that others simply do not find funny at all! You must learn, then, that there are times when it is inappropriate -- and possibly harmful -- to laugh at matters that others are taking seriously. You don't have to make a joke out of everything!

Also born on this date are: Julie Andrews, actress and singer; Zach Galifianakis, actor and comedian; Jimmy Carter, U.S. president; Richard Harris, actor; Tom Bosley, actor; Walter Matthau, actor; Matt Cain, baseball player; Stella Stevens, actress; George Peppard, actor; Rod Carew, baseball player; Vladimir Horowitz, pianist; Rupert Friend, actor; Esai Morales, actor; Randy Quaid, actor.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time to invite a trusted friend to take part in a creative endeavor. A second opinion may be just what you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can turn a necessary work function into an enjoyable social engagement, but you must be sure to get the work done!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must proceed with caution, as hazards are likely to pop up unexpectedly wherever you go. You can control the clock effectively.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are feeling distant from those who support you. Do what you can to reach out, but take care that you don't make yourself seem weak.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A rival may be waiting to take advantage of the least sign of vulnerability, so you will want to proceed as if you know what you're doing!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel as though something is missing. It's time for you to reconnect with someone who went his or her merry way some time ago.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can figure out how to do something that has been a puzzle to you for quite some time. You'll have even more opportunities to evolve, too!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your ability to see through almost any smokescreen will enable you to get to the truth behind someone's unusual behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The search you are on means far more than you think it does. You're likely to uncover information about yourself that you really need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't stop midstream. Keep going until you've reached your destination -- or until circumstances prevent you from progressing further.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may uncover someone's attempt to deceive you and those around you. What you do next depends on your point of view.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll want to start the day feeling strong and capable, so be sure to choose your entry point accordingly. You needn't take so many risks.

Your Birthday for September 30, 2016

Your Birthday | September 30th, 2016

Born today, you are not one to enjoy secrets or, for that matter, any sort of deception whatsoever. The burden of either keeping a secret or having one kept from you is simply too much for you to bear! It is not so much that you have a moral objection to it, but rather that you are simply no good at it. When you try to keep a secret, your efforts almost always betray you, and when a secret is being kept from you, frustration and paranoia wreak havoc on your daily life. It is best, then, for you to be honest and transparent at all times! If you are an open book, life and all its complications will be that much easier for you.

You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve. When it comes to love, you find it impossible to keep your feelings from announcing themselves to the object of your affection. Fortunately, you are not one to fall in love lightly or often; you do so deeply, in a way that lasts.

Also born on this date are: Fran Drescher, actress; Barry Williams, actor; Johnny Mathis, singer; Angie Dickinson, actress; Jenna Elfman, actress; Marion Cotillard, actress; Buddy Rich, drummer; Marilyn McCoo, singer; Truman Capote, author; Jack Wild, actor; Martina Hingis, tennis player; Eric Stoltz, actor; Deborah Kerr, actress; Tony Hale, actor; Ezra Miller, actor.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're eager to hear from someone you suspect is in some kind of danger. It may be only a suspicion, but you want to know the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will be called upon to fulfill a duty that requires you to be in two places at once. Believe it or not, you may be able to pull it off!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The fact that you are able to arrange matters with such a small margin of error is quite satisfying to you -- and exciting to another.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your abilities are likely to speak much louder than any words you may have to offer. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime shot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you hear next door needn't send you running for cover; it's not what you think! Indeed, you may be taking part very soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to hear from someone who has that last important piece of information that you desperately need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to leave it to someone else to manage certain affairs that you had hoped to be a part of. Some changes are unavoidable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You needn't put anyone in his or her place in order to come out on top. That should happen as a matter of course, so take it easy!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will have to dry your tears quickly if tears there be, as you will be called upon to be the strong one before you know it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something you arranged with great care and precision may fall apart quite suddenly because of something you overlooked.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know who is watching you, and you know why -- but you may not know what to do about it until a third party steps in to assist you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The gravitational pull between you and a certain member of the opposite sex will be noticed by everyone around you.
