Your Birthday for October 22, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 22nd, 2019

Born today, you can be on the one hand quite positive, jovial, lighthearted and ebullient; on the other, however, you can be dark and brooding, and even quite negative in your outlook and behavior. Fortunately, you are keenly aware of these two conflicting sides of your personality, and you always do whatever you can to promote and publicize the former while minimizing and obscuring the latter. When you feel that you are sinking into one of your cloudy, gloomy moods, you tend to withdraw from society and spend a good deal of time on your own; you don't want to poison others with your own toxicity, surely.

Because there is a part of you that you prefer to keep hidden from view, it may become somewhat habitual for you at times to be more secretive than you have to be. You must never do anything to hurt other people.

Also born on this date are: Annette Funicello, 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.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to settle for something that is not quite right today, if only to ensure that someone else gets what he or she really wants.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must pay close attention to the clock today, and let no seconds tick by without being of some use. Time wasted is time lost.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may finally see what it is you've been trying to convince them of for quite some time. The pace picks up as a result, and progress is made.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to be competitive today, but you'll also want to avoid a head-to-head contest with someone who may be better equipped.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you're at a safe distance from an apparent danger, you can study it and maintain some measure of safety. Move closer at your own risk, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Sorting through things that just will not cooperate with you may prove frustrating today, but a certain degree of organization is necessary.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you've heard through the grapevine recently may be confirmed today -- in real time and with solid evidence. This changes everything.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you want may not be entirely accessible to you today, but with a little work, you can surely see it move closer than ever before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You want very badly to make your mark in some way, but there are many bad ideas floating around out there that you want to avoid!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have room to do more today than usual. A daring move on your part can put others in their place -- but remember, it's all in fun!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may require careful guidance today as you explore territory that is foreign to you. You won't need this kind of help very much longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You want to gather only the best teammates today -- which means that there are some past associates who won't be part of today's endeavors.

Your Birthday for October 21, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 21st, 2019

Born today, you are, for the most part, an amiable and easygoing individual, one for whom social affairs are often a highlight, and who strives to avoid conflict at every turn. You're not likely to succeed at this at all times, however, and it is fortunate that you have a way of dealing with conflict when it does arise that limits its longevity and almost ensures that similar problems will not recur. You are very quick to learn how to behave in all situations, but it would be a mistake for anyone to think that you do not have strong alliances or enemies of any kind.

There are those who credit you with having much style, but little substance -- and this, too, is a misconception. You are actually quite deep, and you give everything the serious thought and consideration it requires. Your personal beliefs are deeply held and not easily shaken.

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

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be able to change someone's mind today about a key issue -- but take care that he or she doesn't try to change yours. You must stand firm.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A chance encounter proves pivotal to you today. What might happen tomorrow remains shrouded in mystery, though certain signs are evident.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can score a personal victory today without causing anyone else to rack up a loss. This is possible only because of what you know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can put more than one skill on display today, but don't try to do everything on your own. You must leave room for others to participate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be talked about today -- but isn't that better than not being talked about, all things considered? You want to be noticed, surely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll enjoy more than one sign of good things to come -- but that doesn't mean a simple mistake can't derail everything. Use caution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The depth of your knowledge of a certain topic is likely to be tested in some way today. Take care not to make any careless errors.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to study the difference today between what is evident and what is not -- and how they both affect you, independently and together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may get the chance to review certain key issues with a friend or partner today before you are required to put your knowledge to the test.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Much depends upon your ability to see all sides of a certain issue today. Others will be sure to argue, and you'll want to argue right back!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can create far more today than you have in the recent past, and your efforts are sure to be noticed. This will prove a step up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will want to give a little less and get a little more today, which is very different from your pattern the past days or weeks.

Your Birthday for October 20, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 20th, 2019

Born today, you are always going to do the things you want to do, regardless of whether it is appropriate or expected -- or whether you will be properly rewarded for your efforts. You never do a thing because you will get something in return; rather, you do it simply because you want to -- and if the pleasure in that is all the reward you get, so be it! You are quite adept at working with other people, despite your preference for doing the "big" things on your own.

You can be surprisingly sensitive -- this, despite your reputation for being, at times, rather hard. The truth is that your thin skin allows you to feel what others feel, and that gives you a tremendous advantage over many in things both personal and professional.

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.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can expect a certain encounter to knock you off balance for a time, but you may be able to put a conflict behind you for good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others are eager to know what you're doing -- and why. You needn't explain yourself; let your actions speak for you. A mystery is solved.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't let your own mood get in the way of a productive collaboration today. Keep things light and positive, no matter what happens.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Some may find you very persuasive today -- and so you can be. There are those who are immune to your charms, no matter what you say or do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are eager to free yourself from a certain highly restrictive situation today, but it may not be in your control. You'll have to wait your turn.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may want to hang back and let others go on ahead, as you've been considering changing course -- and that needn't involve everyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Some may not react as expected to your accomplishments today, but those closest to you know just how much you've done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel increased pressure at this time, but you're not sure where it's coming from -- or what you're being driven to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your motives are pure, but that's not enough to see you through a difficult situation if you're not willing to do your homework.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are willing to do more for someone else than he or she is willing to do for you -- but eventually today things will be even Steven.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're trying to keep things moving, but your own enthusiasm may not be what it was. What is it that is dampening your spirits?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have extra time on your hands today -- but will you be ready to take advantage of it as you should? You don't want to fritter it away!
