Born today, you don't always need a lot of input from others to provide you with encouragement, instruction or inspiration -- but when you do need it, you must have it, and you usually know just where to go to get it. A few chosen individuals, your "soul mates," are the people you trust with your true self, and you will strip yourself bare to reveal all there is to know about you -- but only to them!
You can be quite competitive, but not outwardly so; you keep those fires burning deep within, and only you know how much you want to "win" at this, that or the other thing. But the desire to be No. 1 is genuine and resides deep within your soul -- and it will be satisfied, come what will!
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.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been given a second chance of sorts today, and you don't want to bungle it. Start at the beginning, and be sure to fact-check yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to work harder than usual today to protect yourself and your loved ones -- but this may not be something unique to Taurus natives.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) -- Listen to what others say about you. You'll feel better about yourself after enduring a rather lengthy period marked by self-doubt.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can lend your support to a friend or partner without risking too much of your own money -- or other resources. You're feeling lucky today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22 -- Decisions today may have to be made much more quickly than expected, and you may not have the benefit of updated information. Someone has your back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An obstacle rears up before you quite suddenly today, but you're ready to respond almost as quickly. Remember: Turnabout is fair play!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're waiting for things to evolve at this time, and you may have to combat your own impatience in the process. Someone can take the reins.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in the mood for something special today, but what? You can have some fun exploring all the options available to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are mixing things up today in a way that can be hazardous. Now is not the time to combine business with pleasure in any way at all.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are eager to be noticed today, but you're not about to do something that's going to put you in the public eye. What can be done?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are feeling somewhat out of sorts today perhaps, but by staying on course, you can convince yourself that all is well -- and so it will be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- In no mood for small talk today, you will want to steer clear of gatherings that do not seem to have a clear and definite purpose.
