Your Birthday for October 10, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 10th, 2016

Born today, you are a highly intelligent individual with a great deal of natural charm and charisma, and the ability to look deep within the souls of others to determine their true motives in all things. You are not guaranteed to be correct in your assessment of those around you, however; you must realize that your instinct and ability to assess the hearts of others can only truly be of use if you combine it with observation of behavior. If you do that, you're always sure to learn something valuable! You are a highly reactive individual; you make decisions based largely upon what others do and why they do it -- especially when those things are done to you. There is a risk that you may become habitually defensive because of this, but with discipline you can surely keep this from happening.

You seem to attract attention wherever you go, so it is not likely that you will ever be able to fly below the radar for long. You must get used to being not only the focus of people's attention, but also the subject of their conversation. You'll find that you are a hot topic on the rumor mill more often than you might like!

Also born on this date are: Mario Lopez, actor and television host; Brett Favre, football player; Dale Earnhardt Jr., auto racer; David Lee Roth, singer; Ben Vereen, actor, singer and dancer; Troy Tulowitzki, baseball player; Thelonious Monk, musician; Tanya Tucker, singer; Helen Hayes, actress; Bradley Whitford, actor; Ed Wood, filmmaker; Chris Penn, actor; Guiseppe Verdi, composer; Peter Coyote, actor; Charles Dance, actor.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A little stubbornness may actually do you a world of good -- especially when you are standing on the threshold of something hazardous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not understand someone else with perfect clarity, but grasping at least the basics may be enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find that the truth has been staring you in the face for quite some time. Why is it that you are only just now becoming aware of it?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good time to go back to something familiar and trusted. There are times when something "new and improved" is actually neither!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself in a position of some authority, but take care to avoid making decisions simply because you can. Reasons count!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept. 22) -- You will want to pay attention to even the smallest of details, lest you miss something entirely that could matter a great deal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Denying yourself is only likely to lead to bad moods all around. Give yourself what you can -- and give to others, too!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others are likely to look to you as an example, so you'll want to be sure that you are living up to your own high standards.

Your Birthday for October 09, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 9th, 2016

Born today, you may never realize how significantly you affect those around you, but the fact is that you are simply incapable of walking into a room -- or down the street -- without having a palpable and lasting impact on everyone you encounter. You are charismatic, highly intelligent and always eager to see things through another's eyes. These traits combine in such a way that you are able to make everyone you meet feel important. Your creative talents are many, but it is your ability to communicate even the most complex ideas with effective simplicity that really makes you stand out.

You have many physical traits that are sure to be easily recognizable and long remembered. Those who meet you and interact with you are not likely to forget you or those particular traits. You have a voice that commands attention and a unique carriage that may be imitated but never employed in as striking a manner as the original.

Also born on this date are: John Lennon, singer-songwriter and musician; Sharon Osbourne, television personality; Tony Shalhoub, actor; Scott Bakula, actor; Jackson Browne, singer-songwriter; Brian Blessed, actor; John Entwistle, musician; Guillermo Del Toro, director; Camille Saint-Saens, composer; Bruce Catton, historian; Brandon Routh, actor; PJ Harvey, singer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be full of advice for others, but you must also be willing to listen to the little voice in your head that guides you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to follow trends very carefully so that you aren't left behind when others begin to shift course.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You've been living too much in your head the past few days. Perhaps it's time to trust your heart a little more. A friend beckons.

Your Birthday for October 08, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 8th, 2016

Born today, you have been endowed with a tremendously vivid and almost hyperactive imagination that may very well prove to be the dominant force in your life as you make your way both personally and professionally. You are sure to open many doors because you approach any situation from a fresh new angle, to forge a great many lasting relationships because you communicate in creative and effective ways, and to do great work time and again because you constantly think outside the box and apply your unique thought processes to all kinds of problems. You always seem to look at life through a lens that enables you to enjoy many different colors, tastes, textures and experiences where others might be at a loss.

You have a knack for telling stories and providing meaning to others in their daily lives. This is because you are always able to connect events with what is most important on a basic, human level and create inspiration as a result. Almost everyone you meet will have you to thank for some of their best thoughts and ideas at some point.

Also born on this date are: Bella Thorne, actress; Bruno Mars, singer; Matt Damon, actor and filmmaker; Chevy Chase, actor and comedian; R.L. Stine, author; Sigourney Weaver, actress; Jeremy Davies, actor; Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader; Stephanie Zimbalist, actress; Emily Procter, actress; Paul Hogan, actor; Rona Barrett, columnist; Eddie Rickenbacker, World War I pilot.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You mustn't expect anyone else to respond the way you do to a certain complex situation. Such differences make things interesting!
