Your Birthday for October 28, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 28th, 2020

Born today, you are neither wholly traditional nor new and cutting edge, but rather you combine the best of what has gone before and that which is the product of your own vivid imagination. This allows you, for the most part, to remain well ahead of the competition in almost any race you may choose to run; you are able to embrace methods and strategies that have worked so well before, as well as those that are "spur of the moment" revelations suited to the particular task you are performing at the time.

You enjoy being pushed and challenged, but you also perhaps require more than the usual amount of rest, relaxation and nutrition. This is likely because when you are on the go, you are expending a great deal more energy than most other people.

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.

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.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Urgency is the point today; you'll want to tend to business as quickly as possible -- while remaining safe and effective, surely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Errors you correct cannot trip you up tomorrow -- so be sure to clear the path before you by fixing the few things that are broken today!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're not yet ready as the day opens to deal with someone's emotional stance; you must be ready by day's end, that much is certain.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A job well done wins you more than praise today -- but is what you get really enough to carry you through to next time? This is a real problem!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It may not be possible for you to engage in group activities right now, but you can surely maintain contact and share your own progress with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The more you do today, the more you'll be asked to do tomorrow -- but that's exactly what you want, isn't it? Embrace those responsibilities!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You needn't be hasty today when formulating your judgment of someone's activities. You want to be circumspect and truthful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to catch up to someone who has shown you the way for quite some time. He or she is off on a new adventure you want to join.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The difference between right and wrong is made clear to you today when you are forced to guess about something that is not negotiable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not know what steps to take today, nor even what path is currently open to you, but these questions can be answered by day's end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is trying to put one over on you today, but you're not having any of it. This results in a conflict that can be quickly resolved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You cannot count on someone who refuses to make his or her views known. It may be time to move on from this uncertain reality.

Your Birthday for October 27, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 27th, 2020

Born today, you may find yourself balanced somewhat precariously between light and dark, and all you do in life will reflect which extreme you are currently experiencing at any given time. Trouble can come from either end of the scale, of course, and you will learn that when you are flying high you can be in just as much personal danger as you are when you are suffering through one of your low periods. The trick, of course, is to achieve a kind of balance that can be maintained for long periods -- and ideally without conscious effort.

Despite these difficulties, you are capable of doing a great deal -- and indeed, you may find yourself at the top of your chosen profession, at least for a time. You can be quite competitive, but you can also recognize -- and accept -- when you have been beaten by a worthy opponent. But that doesn't mean you'll be down and out for long, surely!

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.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have work to do, though you don't quite know where to start. Someone you know well provides an example of what you want to be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may hear from someone who is delivering nothing but bad news right now -- and your reaction is likely to set the tone for everyone around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seek and ye shall find -- if not today, then in the days to come. You're not after immediate results but, rather, results that will last.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can take action today that puts others to shame -- but is this really what you want? Try instead to work in a collaborative capacity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You unearth a piece of information that has been unacknowledged by others for far too long. It's time to give it the promotion it deserves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You receive more than hints from those who are eager for you to win. Take care, however: You don't want anyone to think you're cheating!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can enjoy far more solace today than expected once you realize a current stumbling block has really only existed in your mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- How you feel and what you think may have to take a back seat today to the feelings and thoughts of one who has greater immediate authority.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Just because your contribution isn't acknowledged outright doesn't mean it has no value. Indeed, yours holds all others together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't listen to those who say that communication is overrated; today, communication is everything! Get that message delivered!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are struggling against restraints that you neither expected nor understand. Take the time to trace their history.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you know comes into play today as others shirk their responsibilities. You'll find yourself doing more than expected right now.

Your Birthday for October 26, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 26th, 2020

Born today, you are honest, genuine and forthright in almost all you do -- and yet you are likely to learn, even when young, that these admirable traits do not necessarily guarantee success, either professionally or personally. You must always assume there is work to be done if you are going to progress and reach your goals; you cannot simply expect to be rewarded for being the kind of person you are -- as positive as that might be. You do not have the most dedicated work ethic, however, and you may find it difficult to motivate yourself at times.

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.

Let no one ever tell you that you are not loyal and generous with those in your own private circle; indeed, despite cries of nepotism, you are perfectly willing to reward those closest to you, especially family members and loved ones, with opportunity and responsibility. When you do make your mark, you're likely to do so in quite unexpected ways.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You want something from a friend or supporter, but you're not being specific. Once you get past that one obstacle, you're home free.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The significance of a certain past development becomes quite clear to you today. You'll know quickly what to do and whom to do it with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You needn't apologize for simply doing your job today. You're going to encounter criticism, but not for that. You must weather a storm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone to finish his or her part of a job before you can even get started. Use the time well!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have more on your plate today than you know how to manage at first. Take the time to assess your situation carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can capitalize on a mistake made some time ago. Until you were reminded of it, you had forgotten you made it -- but that's all changed now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If you ask for assistance you mustn't be taken aback when someone steps in and gives it. Your ability to see things fairly serves you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can help someone choose the right words, the right time and the right place today -- and the results will benefit everyone involved.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more specific you can be today, the better. Don't let yourself get lost in a loop of lofty thought that really doesn't get you anywhere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are able to do more than planned today -- provided you trust your circumstances and the people who are now on your side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Teamwork results in far more today than what meets the eye. If you dig a little deeper, you'll identify what you've really accomplished.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- While tending to your assigned tasks today, you can also participate in something that fills you with a greater sense of belonging.
