Your Birthday for October 02, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 2nd, 2018

Born today, you are often to be found in the center of things, trying to keep everyone calm when there is a risk of things boiling over in some way. You thrive on fair dealing for everyone, and you will never stoop to taking undue advantage of anyone at any time -- even if it were to benefit you in some way. Despite the fact that you are a pacifist by nature, you are certainly not bland or forgettable. On the contrary, you are quite an exciting individual, and others are likely to remember you long after even the most quick and casual interaction. There is just something about you that sticks with people! It is likely that you will be widely admired throughout your lifetime.

What may surprise many is that you have a rather unique, even controversial, sense of humor. You are often making jokes about things that others would consider off-limits, simply because you see things from an unusual point of view. You never mean to offend -- though you may, at times, do just that.

Also born on this date are: Mahatma Gandhi, Indian leader; Sting, singer and songwriter; Kelly Ripa, actress and TV host; Avery Brooks, actor; Richard III, king of England; Groucho Marx, actor and comic; Bud Abbott, comic; Annie Leibovitz, photographer; Richard Hell, singer; Donna Karan, designer; Lorraine Bracco, actress.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are more capable than some, and less so than others -- but today it's all likely to even out and provide you with expected gains.

Your Birthday for October 01, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 1st, 2018

Born today, you sometimes may operate according to motives that you keep strictly to yourself, and this is something that has other people thinking, on occasion, that you are trying to be deceitful in some way. This is hardly the case! You simply keep things to yourself because you like to wait until ideas are fully cooked before sharing them with almost anyone. Nothing you do is ever completely "impromptu"; your accomplishments, large and small, are the result of planning that allows you to get things right in theory before putting anything into practice. In this way, you keep errors to a minimum -- and maximize your chances for success!

Your emotions run hot, and tend to bubble just beneath the surface, and this makes it difficult for you to conceal your feelings. You have learned, however, never to be ashamed of how you feel, for you know that this is very much a part of who you are and what you can accomplish in life.

Also born on this date are: Julie Andrews, actress and singer; Zach Galifianakis, actor and comedian; Jimmy Carter, U.S. president; Richard Harris, actor; Tom Bosley, actor; Walter Matthau, actor; Matt Cain, baseball player; Stella Stevens, actress; George Peppard, actor; Rod Carew, baseball player; Vladimir Horowitz, pianist.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will have to be more attentive than usual to someone in need today -- even though you were not the cause of his or her recent loss.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to work harder than usual today to make one thing out of several. It's important for you to have a concrete game plan established.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It'll be easier for you to laugh at certain things today than it has been in recent days. Even your foibles can set you off!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Watch what others are doing around you today and listen to the response they get. You can then come up with a plan to combat a current trend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are not in a position to call the shots today -- at least, not yet. There are a few things you can do to improve your situation, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be facing a certain challenge before the day is out. Give someone what he asks for now, before you find yourself unable to do so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may end up somewhere very different from where you intended today, but you can make this work to your advantage -- with a new friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are keenly interested in what you can do to make improvements to a situation in which you have only been half-invested in the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are going to have to wait your turn today, but you can use the time wisely. Don't let the clock rule all of your behavior, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can make something work out all right today, despite -- or even perhaps because of -- the complaints others have filed. Take charge!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your ability to see directly to the heart of the matter will serve you well -- though not everyone is likely to agree with you today.

Your Birthday for September 30, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 30th, 2018

Born today, you are, like so many other Libra natives, fiercely independent and singular in your approach to life. You recognize the need for rules, but rather than follow other people's rules, you make your own. You are likely to enjoy an early start as you begin your rise to fame and fortune. What is most important, however, is that you enjoy the journey -- for it may come to pass that you do not realize all of your dreams. Still, if you focus on the journey, and on learning all you can about yourself and the world around you, you will do well -- and be content. You are quite ambitious, surely, but you are also quite realistic.

You recognize the need to work with other people and the difficulty in trying to do things entirely yourself. For this reason, you will no doubt learn to work with all types -- even those with whom you have very little in common. Affection and kinship are fine, but they are not a necessary component of success.

Also born on this date are: Fran Drescher, actress; Tony Hale, actor; Johnny Mathis, singer; Angie Dickinson, actress; Jenna Elfman, actress; Marion Cotillard, actress; Buddy Rich, drummer; Marilyn McCoo, singer; Truman Capote, author; Martina Hingis, tennis player; Eric Stoltz, actor; Deborah Kerr, actress.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The challenge you face today is likely to crumble into nothing when you begin to analyze it closely. It's a mere figment, after all!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to get together with someone who thinks about things in a way that complements your approach. Together you can win big!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Remaining calm is a necessity today; you're not likely to impress anyone by letting your emotions get the better of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll get more than you deserve today -- and less, too, in one regard. You'll want to make sure things come out more evenly in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are surely deserving of praise today, but it's not likely to come your way because the best of what you've done remains somehow under wraps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even routine affairs require more thought than you are used to giving them. Other complications surprise you, too, late in the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone will surely be glad to see you when you are back together again. This may not be for some time -- but communication today is positive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to adjust your thinking today to accommodate the way someone else views the situation you are both in right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Flexibility counts for much today, and the more you can maneuver the greater your chances of success. You must avoid a rut at all costs!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are enthusiastic about what you know is just around the corner, but you may have a hard time getting others to share your feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The difference between the truth and a fabrication will be crystal-clear to you today. It's time for you to take a stand against a liar.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Certain duties may have you thinking you would be better off somewhere else -- until you realize you can take care of them with little trouble.
