Your Birthday | October 22nd, 2016

Born today, you are one of the most powerful people born under your sign, and the heat from the blazing furnace of your soul is sure to be felt by everyone with whom you come in contact on a daily basis, personally and professionally. Your passions are very near the surface; you never experience anything without experiencing it 100 percent, with your emotions fully engaged. Your passions are stirred by even the minutest stimulus, and it is impossible for you to go through your day without running the gamut from love to hate, joy to anger. Fortunately, you know how to channel all that feeling into endeavors that are wholly worthwhile; this can bring you tremendous success and inspire others in the process. You can ultimately be very important and do very important things!

You are no stranger to adversity, and you are adept at finding alternative ways of doing things in order to get around obstacles or challenges that threaten to derail you completely. You respond with tremendous energy and resolve to anyone who says you cannot do something -- the word "no" means "yes" to you more often than not!

Also born on this date are: Annette Funicello, actress; Sarah Bernhardt, actress; Catherine Deneuve, actress; Jeff Goldblum, actor; Tony Roberts, actor; Timothy Leary, professor; Brian Boitano, Olympic figure skater; Karl Jansky, physicist; Spike Jonze, filmmaker; Jesse Tyler Ferguson, actor; Bob Odenkirk, actor and comedian.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are on schedule to get things taken care of just as you planned -- provided someone doesn't throw a wrench into the works.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must determine what to do first, before you think about what will follow that up. Getting things in the right order is essential.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Time may seem short, and you have much to do, so take care not to add to the list anything that doesn't absolutely need to happen!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The extraneous may get in your way during portions of the day, but in each case, you should be able to clear things out and avoid a crisis.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to sort through an impenetrable mass of facts and figures will serve you well as you try to solve a confusing mathematical puzzle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have given someone permission to behave in ways that are quite unusual, but your reasons are sound. You must cope with surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Are you truly ready to do what is being asked of you? The stars are on your side, but they cannot do the work for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're on your way to completing something that has required a lengthy commitment and taken a heavy toll. You're feeling much stronger!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Honesty may not actually be the best policy today. To avoid hurting someone needlessly, you may want to omit certain facts or details.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have the feeling that someone is out there watching you as you navigate what the day has to offer. Be more specific with yourself.

Your Birthday for October 21, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 21st, 2016

Born today, you will attract a great deal of attention as you travel through life, but not always for the same reason, and not always for the reason you might wish! Indeed, there are times when you will sense that people are looking at you askance, wondering what it is you are doing and why -- and indeed, sometimes you do behave in ways that raise eyebrows and attract criticism from those who want everyone around them to fall in line. You're not all that concerned with what people think about you, because you trust that anyone who gets to know you will at least think of you fairly, even if critically. And that's what's most important to you -- that others treat you fairly and with respect, just as you strive to treat them.

You are likely to become known for doing one or two things that leave a lasting mark -- and that quite possibly change the thinking of a great many people about an issue that is central to their daily lives. This will make you feel important -- assuming the recognition comes to you during your lifetime!

Also born on this date are: Kim Kardashian, television personality; Carrie Fisher, actress and screenwriter; Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister; Judy Sheindlin, judge; Dizzy Gillespie, musician; Alfred Nobel, inventor; Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet; Ursula Le Guin, author.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The sooner you start your day, the more efficient you will be when it comes to getting things done. Your attitude will be better as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Efficiency is the key to effective communication. If your messages are loud and clear, you should only have to send them once.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be unusually sensitive for a time, so it's best to avoid any situation that could possibly set you off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you can see it coming, you can take evasive action and avoid it. Be sure to keep your eyes open and fixed on a point not too far off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not want to hear what a friend or loved one has to tell you, but you'll be better for it in the long run -- so grin and bear it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll get a message that has you second-guessing yourself. Before you react, trace the source and assess its validity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone may offer you an enticement that you simply cannot accept -- much as you would like to. You'll want to offer regrets in person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've been juggling several different responsibilities with style lately, but you may have to focus on one and only one for a while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- In the heat of the moment, you're not likely to make a decision that you'll feel comfortable with later on. Take time to think!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you're going to make suggestions to someone who is in need of assistance, they must be realistic and substantive to be truly helpful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to tread very lightly in order to avoid hurting someone's feelings, as the issue at hand is surely a sensitive one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to realize something very important about yourself that comes as quite a surprise, even though others have known it for ages!

Your Birthday for October 20, 2016

Your Birthday | October 20th, 2016

Born today, you do things your way, and that's the truth. You are never one to subscribe to methods or ideologies provided by others; you formulate your own ways of thinking and doing, and your own purpose for almost everything in life. To say you are an original is an understatement; to say that you are a rebel is simply a fact. You will fight against any attempt to rein you in or limit you, no matter the reason. You are intelligent, witty and often quite caustic with others, but that is all in fun. You would never hurt anyone with a word or a look on purpose, and when it does happen by accident, you are always quick to apologize and make it right. You know your place in the world, and you know how to navigate troubles with grace and style.

You are destined to be a leader, but be warned! You may actually find that there are more rules and regulations to follow when you are in charge than when you are an underling! Even so, there is also the opportunity to remake the rules -- and to make a real difference in the process.

Also born on this date are: Snoop Dogg, rapper and actor; Viggo Mortensen, actor; Danny Boyle, filmmaker; Tom Petty, singer-songwriter; Jerry Orbach, actor; John Krasinski, actor; Thomas Newman, composer; Mickey Mantle, baseball player; Art Buchwald, humorist; Bela Lugosi, actor; Christopher Wren, architect.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You aren't likely to get what you want unless you are willing to share your desires with someone who can help you satisfy them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can provide for someone in need, but it may be in a fashion that is quite different from everyone's expectations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll want to share as much hands-on knowledge as you can, especially with those who will be in your shoes before they know it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should be able to shake things up a bit and reap all the benefits without having to weather any serious pitfalls. Give it a try!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can afford to be more generous than usual, especially with someone who, you realize, has been instrumental in helping you move forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be tempted to say no to any suggestion that has you moving out of your comfort zone -- but it could be quite good for you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're going to want to make the rules as clear as possible so that everyone can adjust his or her expectations accordingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- If you're going to tiptoe around a sensitive issue, others may get the wrong idea. A straightforward, upfront approach is advised.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The timing of a certain decision may not be perfect, but you can do much to set things in motion in time to maximize your potential.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Gravitating toward someone who fascinates you may seem like the natural thing to do, but it may also be fraught with peril.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Give yourself a chance to catch up to someone who seems to take to certain things more naturally than you do. You'll hit your stride soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have trouble explaining your position to someone who is stubbornly set in his or her ways -- and wants you to be, as well!
