Born today, you are creative, active and always youthful in spirit. You are the kind to hang on faithfully to those childhood traits that can -- and do -- serve you well in adulthood. You understand that a well-adjusted and capable adult is one who is always in touch with an inner child. Not for you the kind of selfish, self-indulgent behavior that so many other adult children seem to revel in. You insist on balance in your life, and that means making that child within you a dutiful -- yet playful -- servant of your adult self.
You are able to put your best foot forward in almost all situations, and others are likely to succumb to your considerable charms at the first meeting. You are a hard worker when you have the opportunity to apply yourself to something that captures your interest and earns your lasting dedication.
Also born on this date are: Helen Hayes, actress; Tanya Tucker, singer; Ben Vereen, actor, singer, dancer, entertainer; Brett Favre, football player; David Lee Roth, rocker; Thelonious Monk, musician.
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 11
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something you've always assumed was nothing more than legend or embellishment may well turn out to be the truth.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Information comes to you today in short bursts -- and not all of it when you need it. You'll have to fill in the blanks on your own.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't assume that you know what you are doing just because the situation you face seems familiar; there are hidden differences!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are trying to do something new and different at this time, but someone who is not as enthusiastic is trying to stand in your way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can put your best foot forward without seeming to show off in any way. What comes of a chance encounter defies logic.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Maintaining a realistic outlook when the endeavors you are involved in are so seemingly unrealistic may be tricky today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- There is such a thing as being too clever, and today you are coming perilously close to crossing that line.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Check in with those who haven't been maintaining contact with you of late. They have information that you will surely need by day's end.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to do a little bit more than usual -- and in a little less time than usual -- to accomplish something that is usually easier.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to play games with a friend by concealing the truth -- or any part of it. It's time to tell the tale in its entirety.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Recent development are likely to affect you more than many others -- and the reason should be clear to you by day's end.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Something exciting is in the making at this time, and you'll want to make yourself available to any potentially rewarding new developments.
