Your Birthday | October 20th, 2017

Born today, you are not a dramatic or overbearing individual. Indeed, you may actually be known for your quiet, unassuming manner and your ability to blend into the background whenever you so choose. That you are able to attract attention when you want is never a subject of debate, for you can capture the attention of a large audience when it is in your best interest to do so. Most often, though, you accomplish much by saying little. Those who know you best are fully aware of your ability to achieve much without escaping the notice of those around you. You have numerous talents, and there is no question that you will enjoy a long and lucrative career -- as long as you do not try to do anything that goes against your true, natural self. Indeed, while the "real you" is capable of much, any attempt to pretend is only likely to yield disappointment in the end.

You are never in a hurry; you know how to make a plan and stick to it, even though it may require you to display a kind of superhuman patience that would simply be incapable for others to try. Rarely interested in "instant gratification," you know that something you work for long and hard is much more satisfying than that which you can have at little cost.

Also born on this date are: Snoop Dogg, rapper; Viggo Mortensen, actor; Danny Boyle, filmmaker; Tom Petty, rocker; Jerry Orbach, actor; Mickey Mantle, baseball player; Art Buchwald, humorist; Bela Lugosi, actor; Christopher Wren, architect.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are looking for more useful ways to spend your time, but what you've been assigned can prove quite important very soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is a good time for you to distance yourself from someone who has become far too aggressive for his own good -- or yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others will know just what you are really trying to do when you behave in a way that goes against the grain. This doesn't mean you'll succeed!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Promote yourself and your ideas in the most direct way possible today and you're likely to have more than one door opened to you tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself wondering why you didn't take full advantage of someone's patronage years ago. The question is: Is it too late?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A situation arises today that demands more of your time and attention than you were planning to give. This adjustment can be made easily.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll have some trouble today fitting everything into its dedicated spot; a little creativity can go a long way toward solving the problem.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Others are likely to lean your way today as you argue a point that hasn't been embraced in some time. Your popularity increases, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- More than expected must be done in less time than you had planned -- and this will be a logistical puzzle that lasts some time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must prepare yourself for something that is fast approaching, though you cannot fully see in complete detail as it nears.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will be expected to play an entirely new role soon, and you can spend much of the day preparing to address many facets of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are not doing things how others have expected you to do them, but that's not so much a problem as your unwillingness to change.

Your Birthday for October 19, 2017

Your Birthday | October 19th, 2017

Born today, you are perhaps the most friendly and sociable individual born under your sign, and you will go out of your way to ensure that those around you are getting the most out of life. This is not to say that you do not, at times, enjoy being alone; indeed, you do -- especially when you are in the planning stages of some big endeavor. You are not one to risk making mistakes in public, so of course you will engage in the first stages of a project in private, far from prying eyes and critical voices who might throw you off your game. Once you have built a foundation for whatever new idea you are bringing to light, you are eager to share with the world at large, for no amount of criticism or pushback can dampen your spirits or chip away at your confidence at that point.

Your word is your bond, and you will never break a promise if you can help it -- and on those rare occasions in which you are not able to fulfill a pledge, it is certainly not for want of trying. You will do everything you can to complete the job, no matter how dramatically the odds may be stacked against you.

Also born on this date are: John Lithgow, actor; Peter Max, artist; Jack Anderson, columnist; Robert Reed, actor; Evander Holyfield, boxer.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Much depends on your ability to see things in a clear, straightforward manner. Don't let anyone tell you that your perspective is skewed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to express yourself as clearly as possible today. Bend your words or meaning and you'll be facing an inquiry very soon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Are you in charge today? If so, you'll have enough on your plate to fill your waking hours -- and, if not, you must do as you're told!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you reveal today is sure to satisfy some, but others may misinterpret you and try to fight you in some manner. Be ready for conflict.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may feel that you are running on empty, but you have just enough in the tank today to get your most important jobs done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Word from a family member has you relaxing at last, knowing that things have worked out for the best -- so far. A friend helps bear a burden.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you do for another today will also benefit you -- but not in any direct way that you will immediately notice. Give it time!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you recently forgot you're likely to remember quite suddenly today -- thanks to someone else's actions that spur your recollection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your ability to do what others cannot isn't likely to fail you today, and you can give your reputation a needed boost as a result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You cannot complete an assigned task until someone else comes through with his or her part of the job. The delay takes you down to the wire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can fill your available hours today with efforts that benefit someone else more directly than yourself. You know who it is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There is a time and a place for everything, and today you'll be the one to remind others of what is appropriate and what is not.

Your Birthday for October 18, 2017

Your Birthday | October 18th, 2017

Born today, you are both doer and dreamer. You're the kind to experience the highest highs and the lowest lows as you strive to balance two conflicting poles of your personality: that which deals in day-to-day practicalities in order to succeed where others have failed, and that which compels you to build castles in the air only to see them dashed to pieces far too often. Once you get used to the fact that both your successes and failures will come in fits and starts, and that you will never enjoy long periods of consistency, you will learn how to make the best of this otherwise perplexing reality. You know how to say what you mean and do what you say. At the same time, you may not be meaning, saying or doing that which is possible in the real world. Yet you never let that get you down, and you will strive toward the realization of even your most far-fetched notions.

Like all Libra natives, you can be quite insecure. Still, you derive great strength and confidence from what others do around you, and it is always essential that you maintain close contact with those in your life who really matter. Sever ties, and you are likely to wander aimlessly, without the slimmest hope for success.

Also born on this date are: Pam Dawber, actress; Melina Mercouri, actress; Jean-Claude Van Damme, actor and martial artist; George C. Scott, actor; Jesse Helms, U.S. senator; Chuck Berry, rocker; Peter Boyle, actor.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- More is up to you today than you might have expected, but you are ready to take on that responsibility. Young people look up to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have what it takes to carry the day -- even though a rival is determined to stand in your way. He or she cannot match your "secret weapon."

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Making a good impression is the secret to a successful day -- on more than one occasion. How you package yourself is of the utmost importance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may not understand your unique approach to a certain key situation, but they'll certainly appreciate the results you get!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care that you don't let your mood stand in the way of enjoyment today, for there is much to savor if you will only liberate yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You and a friend may not see eye-to-eye today, but that's not necessary to overall success. Continue doing what you know best how to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can expect something new to surprise you today, and compel you to change course in a way that no one expects. Take a friend along!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have much to do, but you needn't approach anything in an overly emotional fashion. You can stay on an even keel all day long.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A deadline approaches, but you may be able to arrange for some extra time -- especially if your negotiation skills are primed and ready.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to keep the lines of communication open all day long -- and you can encourage others to be more frank and honest than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You risk having a lot of people angry with you -- or at least resentful -- if you continue along your current course. Consider a change.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll want to be appropriate in your dealings with those you do not know very well; you can't afford any misinterpretations today.
