Your Birthday for October 25, 2019

Your Birthday | October 25th, 2019

Born today, you are never one to shrink from the spotlight, and in fact more often than not, you will seek it out -- or, if at all possible, grab it with your own two hands and train it on yourself! You rather thrive on notoriety, and you will do almost anything to attract attention to yourself or to a cause for which you are dedicating your time and energy. Your beliefs are strongly held, and you will abandon them for nobody.

Though you may come across as quite rough and ill-mannered to some, to others you simply have the unfettered enthusiasm of a child. When you do a thing, you do it all the way -- and when you are in love, there is nothing else so important to you. You lavish gifts and attention on the object of your affection, and you never hide your feelings from those whom you love.

Also born on this date are: Tracy Nelson, actress; Anne Tyler, writer; Helen Reddy, singer; Minnie Pearl, comedienne; Marion Ross, actress; Pablo Picasso, artist; Richard E. Byrd, polar explorer; Leo G. Carroll, actor; Georges Bizet, composer.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you are not unintentionally firing someone up and inviting a challenge that you are not equipped to counter. Play it safe today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can rely on what you know to see you through today, without having to worry about learning something new -- but this will change soon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're ready for a payoff that might not come today. You'll want to keep your disappointment in check, as it will only hold you back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to speak the truth, regardless of what others might think of you as a result. Only you know what's really going on right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be seeing yourself in the wrong light at this time. An adjusted self-image will allow you to move forward more quickly -- in many areas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be able to show off one or two valuable skills today. A rival watches you closely but can't match you just yet. Seek an agreement.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll see things clearly for the first part of the day -- until a surprise event has you doubting yourself. Difficulties arise as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're able to keep certain fears at bay today, but one in particular refuses to lie quiet. You must be willing to face it directly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Sleep and other rest may be interrupted by concerns over that which you have no control. Seek advice from someone in your inner circle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself and a rival going round and round over the same tired issue. Isn't it time to move on to something more urgent?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be able to swing into action today just in time -- and help someone else stay out of a situation he or she will not be able to control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be able to pull off a trick today that others have only tried unsuccessfully to perform. Your secret is safe -- for now.

Your Birthday for October 24, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 24th, 2019

Born today, you are for the most part quite even-tempered, and you deal with all manner of individuals as if they were friends of yours who have known you for years. Your general comfort with other people is perhaps unmatched -- at least among others born under your sign. You are quite tolerant and less critical of others than almost anyone else you know. Indeed, you are far more likely to give someone the benefit of the doubt than you are to call him or her out for some perceived wrong.

Though you may be considered rather conservative by some in dress and manner, you can be quite adventurous -- especially when you are with those who know you well or you are exploring a new professional endeavor. When it comes to your work, you can be quite daring, and you're never afraid of trying that which others say cannot be done.

Also born on this date are: Kevin Kline, actor; F. Murray Abraham, actor; Moss Hart, playwright; Eric Hosmer, baseball player; Shenae Grimes, actress.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be wondering how long you will be torn between that which is good for you and that which is not. Why not settle this now -- today?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time has come for you to answer the questions you are being asked and to stop feigning ignorance. That ruse has ceased being useful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The key to a problem you've long been trying to solve is likely to be right in front of you today. The sooner you try to use it, the better.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not agree with the way someone else is doing this or that, but you can't fault the energy. You could use a little more yourself!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to put up with several interruptions today, but you can keep the engine running even when the wheels have stopped turning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can get more done today than you might have expected -- but only if you know just what must be done and why. You may have to explain yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is no time to try to fool anyone into thinking you can do something you can't, for you'll surely be found out. Be honest -- and realistic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may think you have time only to start something, but the fact is you may well get it completed -- if you stick with it and focus!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Things are likely to fall into place quite nicely for you today, without much planning or effort. This won't continue for long, however!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must keep distractions at bay today, or you're sure to fall short of the mark in several key areas. Your readiness is clear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A situation you are eager to resolve may get out of hand for a time today -- but as they say, it's always darkest before the dawn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Once you get started today, you're not likely to stop -- that's how energized you are likely to be. A friend gets in touch from afar.

Your Birthday for October 23, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 23rd, 2019

Born today, you have certain ways of doing things, and you're not likely to change -- at least not very often. There are those who say you do things in an old-fashioned way, and those who say that your approach to life is quite modern and adventurous; both are, in fact, true! You do have quite an affinity for old-fashioned manners, old-fashioned motives, old-fashioned mores and old-fashioned style; indeed, there are times when it may seem that you've stepped out of a different decade -- or century, even -- altogether. However, you're never one to shy away from a new way of doing something.

You can be rather standoffish, especially with those you don't know well. But this is a product of your particular "style" -- for you are not one to assume any kind of familiarity or intimacy with those you do not know well, so you will maintain an almost "cold" demeanor when interacting with strangers.

Also born on this date are: "Weird Al" Yankovic, singer and satirist; Pele, soccer player; Michael Crichton, writer; Johnny Carson, TV talk-show host; Ryan Reynolds, actor; Ang Lee, filmmaker; Lincoln Peirce, cartoonist.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not want to respond in kind when someone reaches out to you today; there are elements at play that require a different touch.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are capable of wielding some serious force today, but you must take care that you're not doing anything out of proportion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you say and do in response to some surprising queries are likely to impress the powers-that-be today. An offer may be forthcoming.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be more difficult than usual today to prepare for something that you thought was merely routine. A few surprises wait for you, surely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you know will prove valuable to you and to those around you today -- but what you don't know may be more important in a stranger sense.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be on the verge of something that can grow very quickly once you've begun in earnest. Don't hesitate to ask questions of the experts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be required to navigate some unusual ground today; the footing may be stable, but the geography presents a number of surprises.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may get more than you bargain for today when you ask questions of those who are on the periphery. They've been paying attention, clearly!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to travel farther than expected today in order to gather what you need to make things happen back home. Schedule wisely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in the midst of preparing for something that is as yet unclear. Answers to questions lead to more questions, but they'll be answered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't have a lot of time to spare today -- nor are you overflowing with resources. You must be economical on both counts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have the chance to show someone what you're capable of doing, and you're likely to shine under pressure. You attract new fans.
