Your Birthday for October 22, 2017

Your Birthday by by Stella Wilder

Born today, you mustn't let any success you enjoy when you are young give you false confidence that the same efforts when you are older will yield the same results. That is simply not the way it's going to be! Indeed, what you do when you are in your youth may be diametrically opposed to anything you do when you are older, and successes later in life may bear no resemblance whatsoever to those you enjoy in your early years. What will be consistent, however, is your ability to learn from your experiences, and apply that knowledge to subsequent endeavors; though you may do different things at various times in your life, the lessons you have learned will carry you through -- so you will never feel like you are "starting over." Hard working and dedicated, you enjoy challenges that require you to develop new skills.

You are never one to let stereotypes shape your thinking about people, places or events. You judge each person you encounter based on his or her merits, and you have faith in the basic goodness of mankind -- despite any evidence to the contrary! You enjoy working with others, and the social scene is often a source of tremendous inspiration to you.

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.

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.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't go bragging about something you cannot prove, lest you have others show you up simply by accomplishing something they can demonstrate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have trouble navigating your thoughts for a time today, especially as you plan for something that is not entirely concrete.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must be willing to submit to someone else's control today, or you'll surely create more friction and conflict than you can afford.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You aren't yet over something that got you quite angry a while ago; today is a good day to examine why you reacted the way you did.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care that you don't organize things in a way that cannot be figured out by others; it's important that you let them participate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can learn much about your inner workings today simply by paying attention to the way you react to the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to wait to do something you've been assigned, and you must be sure to let those in charge know the cause of this delay.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone you know will give you a very good reason for either continuing along your current course or changing direction right now. Listen!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A technological failure may prevent you from doing what you are expected to do until you figure out a way to "cheat the system."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You say you're doing one thing, but someone close to you knows that you're really intending something else. Can you reconcile this?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will recognize what must be done -- and what you can leave undone -- in order to get through the day in the best possible manner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you aren't so quick to size someone up that you miss something fundamental. You don't want that to happen to you!

Your Birthday for October 21, 2017

Born today, you are almost certain to be out of sorts when the pace slows, and your options in life are minimized. You want to have more to do than anyone else, and you are able to commit yourself to more than anyone else in order to satisfy your need for involvement. You don't always have to be doing something important or lasting, either; sometimes even trivial endeavors can be most satisfying to you -- at least in the short term.

While many born under your sign favor long-term projects and endeavors, you are perfectly happy with those that come up suddenly, require intense involvement for only a short time and then fade just as quickly as they appeared. Others may think that you are shallow or unable to "go the distance," but you pay such critics little mind, for you know what makes you happy and that's what matters most to you in all things.

You are clever and able to solve puzzles quickly. Your opinions are often sought in situations that require problem solving or that benefit from rare and unusual points of view. You enjoy looking at things from all angles, and you are often able to make the most unlikely approach work to your advantage.

Also born on this date are: Kim Kardashian, reality TV personality; Carrie Fisher, actress; Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister; Judge Judy Sheindlin, TV judge; Dizzy Gillespie, musician; Alfred Nobel, inventor; Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be tested in some way today, but the only way you can fail is if you are unable to remain calm and collected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Certain ongoing problems have you reacting to other, trivial developments in a way that is out of proportion. Try to re-establish balance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't go against the prevailing currents at this time. Do what you can to help yourself and another by doing what comes most naturally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can enjoy much today that others do not, and this isn't just because you are unusual. Try to define what goes on beneath the surface.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Focus your energies more squarely on the needs of one close to you, and you'll increase your level of satisfaction in all areas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pay attention to what is going on with the weather, as you may find that unexpected developments affect you more directly than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be judging your success in more restricted terms than anyone else is at this time. A more liberal view can be more satisfying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know precisely what you are doing, literally and figuratively, and that may be why you are not able to shed certain fears at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can do someone else a favor today in the hopes that he or she will reciprocate when the time comes -- and that time is soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find that you are unable to share with others what they most enjoy. Is this a matter of taste, or propriety?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are bending the rules just enough to be noticed, and that's not at all what you want. Go back to doing things straight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must pay attention to what is going on all around you to prevent any clandestine arrangements from being made behind your back.

Your Birthday for October 20, 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.
