Your Birthday for October 29, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 29th, 2017

Born today, you are one of those rare, balanced individuals who know how to keep work and play in perfect equilibrium -- as well as all your relationships, too! You never give one aspect of your daily life more attention than it deserves, and you will always settle back into a pattern of behavior that favors people over activities. Even when you are dealing with a major project at work, you know how to put it aside now and then and get the rest you need in order to hit it all the harder when you return to it. You are likely to have many friends, and you are the type to let little time go by before touching base with those who are, for whatever reason, far from you. The comforts of home provide you with solace and contentment, and when you move you are very quick to "nest."

When it comes to your career, you never let the winds of fate blow you here and there; you always maintain a steady course toward the goals you have laid out for yourself. You will always do what is necessary to succeed, but you are not one to overwork. You recognize the signs of mental and physical fatigue, and yield to them as necessary.

Also born on this date are: Winona Ryder, actress; Finola Hughes, actress; Fanny Brice, comedian; Melba Moore, singer; Kate Jackson, actress; Richard Dreyfuss, actor; Bill Mauldin, political and military cartoonist.

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 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone you love will assign you a task that tests your ability to put your needs second behind those of someone else. You can do it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is fun to be had today, but you must also get things done while tending to family affairs. Use the clock to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be more than satisfied with your performance at this time, but for some reason you feel you have fallen short. Why is that?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One mystery is solved and another reveals itself -- and you may be able to make great headway by forging a concrete connection between the two.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't pretend, today; be honest, forthright and concrete in all that you do and say. You can't afford to be misunderstood right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Confusion arises today after someone responds to you in a way that simply goes against all logic. You must investigate further.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Adjustments are necessary today, as they are every day -- but those you make today are likely to be felt for quite some time as you move forward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take the advice of someone older and wiser, and try to slow things down just a bit. You and a partner can get more pleasure from an outing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll see the meaning of something rather routine if you look at it from a different level -- literally. Adjust your position!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The more you move, the less you'll feel hemmed in -- which only makes sense, as you break through barriers and explore territory more freely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can give much to someone in need today without sacrificing what you will require very soon. Generosity comes naturally today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are stuck in a rut, and only a certain someone knows what to say to get you to climb out of it willingly -- but will you listen?

Your Birthday for October 28, 2017

Your Birthday | October 28th, 2017

Born today, you are always keen to explore places you do not know, and for this reason you will be drawn to foreign countries and exotic locales throughout your very busy lifetime. You learn a great deal from the behavior of others, and it is therefore much more than scenery that draws you to a particular place; you want, rather, to learn about the culture of a place, to immerse yourself in the way other people live and to develop a strong, lasting connection to them -- even if that means maintaining it from afar when at last you return home. Like so many born under your sign, you know what makes people tick -- but there may be times in which that isn't enough to understand or explain your behavior. Indeed, you often do things without knowing why -- especially when it comes to taking advantage of professional opportunities. You know how to make the most of a hunch.

You are recognized for your sense of fun and style. You can turn heads simply by walking into a room, and others are very likely to hang upon your every word -- when you choose to speak. The truth is that you can be rather shy, and you're not always willing to open up in front of a crowd. Private conversation is quite different, however; you enjoy one-on-one encounters.

Also born on this date are: Julia Roberts, actress; Edith Head, costume designer; Cleo Laine, actress; Jane Alexander, actress; Joaquin Phoenix, actor; Bill Gates, computer mogul; Jonas Salk, medical researcher; Dennis Franz, actor; Charlie Daniels, singer.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will struggle to get things to line up just right, but try not to fret over the way things should be, but work with them as they are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to give up a little ground today in order to gain even more back tomorrow. The timing of this concession is key.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Self-control becomes a major issue today as you navigate some tricky ground. You mustn't react too violently to unexpected challenges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The advice you receive today may not work for you in your current situation, but you'll find it valuable in later applications.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Doing what you are told when you are told to do it is never easy for you, but today it may prove downright impossible. Try not to make waves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Remember that words can do you no real harm, and you must keep yourself from falling into the trap that others do when the name-calling begins.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Others may wonder why you are pursuing a certain goal when, in fact, it is quite obvious to you. It will be to them when you reach it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have more to do today than you had originally anticipated, and you mustn't go crazy thinking that you can fit it all in. Choose wisely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What interests you today may be something more than the familiar; in fact, something quite extraordinary captures your fancy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Issues of power are likely to rise to the surface today; take care that you don't try to impose your will on anyone else just yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Money management will prove a central feature of your day, but how you handle the smaller payments is likely to matter most right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to embrace certain qualities from another time; today, friends will marvel at your ability to morph and redefine yourself.

Your Birthday for October 27, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 27th, 2017

Born today, you know how to put things together in just such a way as to maximize your potential and ensure success where others have only been met with failure. Yes, you are a born strategist, one who knows how to lay out a plan step by step, building both strength and confidence as you go, keeping an eye on the prize and never wavering -- almost. There may be times when your confidence slips, and you fear that you are not fully capable of doing what you think you can. Let that negative attitude settle in and you are in for a world of trouble, for it can be hard to shake; work through it, plugging away toward a set goal, and you can shed any negative feelings that may hold you back otherwise. You know that big things have a way of sprouting from the smallest of seeds, and you can be quite patient waiting for something to grow.

You are not as opportunistic as some others born under your sign, and you are never very good at promoting yourself. Rather, you rely on the quality of your work to attract attention and win admiration -- and you hope that someone, somewhere, will open doors for you and propel you on your way. You don't like to sell yourself.

Also born on this date are: Sylvia Plath, writer and poet; Nanette Fabray, singer; Roy Lichtenstein, artist; Simon Le Bon, singer; John Cleese, actor and comedian; Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. president; Dylan Thomas, poet.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You don't want to find yourself in over your head today, so you must monitor your progress every step of the way. Guard against surprises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You want to be more involved, but you aren't yet ready to commit more of your resources. Keep things "theoretical" right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your emotions are nearing the surface, but you should recognize the feeling before you let anything get out of hand. A friend sympathizes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You aren't seeing things from the same stable perspective as you have in the past; it's important to realize just what has changed recently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to wait longer than usual today for things to get to the point of maximum productivity. You're ready for anything when that occurs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- See if you can't look at a certain difficult issue through the eyes of someone you think of as a rival. This can narrow the gap between you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are well equipped to face any situation that might arise today -- except one that you've been working very hard to keep from arising.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Though things were set to transpire in a certain order, you'll find that you are much more productive if you shake up your schedule somewhat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can afford to be a little more direct as you express your needs to someone who has cared for you in the past. What do you want?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must make time to address certain responsibilities today that you have let slide over the past week or so. Get back on track!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Getting what you want will require just a little more courage than usual today as you face someone who carries a great deal of authority.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- As you face your fears, you can help another face his or hers -- and the more unusual your approach, the better. Free yourself.
