Your Birthday for October 27, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 27th, 2019

Born today, you are realistic, thoughtful, sometimes philosophical and always reflective. You never let a day go by without thinking about how you fit into the world and how the world affects you -- inside and out. You are not, by nature, a social individual; to mix and mingle with others takes effort -- and sometimes it is simply so much work that you may retire from a party quite exhausted. You never react to anything on a purely intellectual level; there is always an emotional component to how you live your life.

You are a hard worker, and it's not unusual for you to push yourself to the brink of either physical or emotional collapse. You must always remember to give yourself the rest you require -- or you may risk all that you have worked for simply because you try to do too much for an uninterrupted period of time.

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.

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 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll recognize that someone else's motives are very similar to your own. This precipitates a thaw in your relationship -- at last!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A disagreement arises today because you are unwilling to recognize when someone is telling you precisely what you want to hear. Listen!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The past is very much a part of your future, and the decisions you make today will make this very clear to you and those in your inner circle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be distracted for a time from the thing you really should be doing, but when you get back to business, you'll proceed at a faster pace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Listen to all that your body is telling you today and you'll avoid a problem that could, in little time, become dangerous. A friend reaches out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be caught between two uncomfortable situations, neither of which has yet become "full blown." A revelation allows you to escape.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- While others may have only one chance to get something right today, you're likely to enjoy two or three. Don't question this stroke of luck.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Following in someone else's footsteps may not be the best way to find your own way, of course, but it can yield other benefits today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec 21) -- A key issue is obscured today, and you're the only one who can clear the air. Focus on what others know, and start from there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be stopped in your tracks today by someone who has only just now appeared on the scene. Small adjustments will have to be made.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to spill the beans today in order to get others to believe other more important things you've kept under wraps. Pick and choose.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- When all is said and done today, you may have negotiated a strong deal for yourself and your allies. Results are not immediate, however.

Your Birthday for October 26, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 26th, 2019

Born today, you are usually a cheerful, affable and friendly individual who seems, time and again, to enjoy almost any sort of interaction with other people. Indeed, you are often the person whom other people seek out in social situations, for they know that any interaction with you will be positive and enjoyable. While all of this is true, however, it overlooks the fact that beneath the surface you harbor doubts and insecurities that can, at times, prove quite self-destructive.

You don't like to share your troubles with others; you much prefer to face them alone, working on them as best you can without pulling others into any sort of conflict that you feel is your responsibility. This can, of course, prolong periods of hardship, strain your relationships and cause you to risk both personal and professional gains.

Also born on this date are: Lauren Tewes, actress; Mahalia Jackson, singer; Jaclyn Smith, actress and model; Cary Elwes, actor; Pat Sajak, TV game show host; Bob Hoskins, actor; Jackie Coogan, actor.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That which is most significant may also be most obscured, at least for a while. You may want to sit back and wait for clear signs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- After a short but intense period of increased effort, you should have an easier time of it today. Others are eager to learn something from you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your learning curve may be rather steep today, but you can make progress in a way that is unique to you -- and that wins you immediate rewards.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your eyes and ears open for indications that not all is as it should be. The unusual will require your attention at all times today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The difference between clear and cloudy is evident today, though you may have trouble when things are supposed to be "routine."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be called upon to advocate for someone who is not in a position to speak effectively for himself or herself. Stick to the issues at hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll welcome the opportunity to join forces with someone who has taken on an important new responsibility. Show what you're made of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not want to attract attention today, but the choice isn't necessarily yours. Things happen that rob you of your invisibility!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can have more fun than usual today simply by doing what comes naturally -- and by involving a friend for whom this may be a new adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be the unwitting victim of someone else's attempts at misdirection today. Soon, however, you'll be on track and advancing quickly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're not willing to accept responsibility for that which was not your doing -- but you can surely help solve the problem when asked.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- An attraction turns into something else today. Danger lies in being unable to identify what is really going on. Seek a friend's advice.

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.
