Born today, you are a dedicated and hardworking individual. You are always striving to promote some agenda that you feel is important, not just for yourself, but for the world at large. You are quick to determine how your own routine affairs are connected with the affairs of others -- and how your own behavior affects those around you, directly or indirectly. You are highly creative, and though your motives may not be unlike those of so many others, the methods you employ to satisfy those motives may be quite different. You aren't satisfied with just knowing what to do; how you do it is important to you, as well.
You will no doubt have a great many friends -- and enemies, too. How you deal with people directly is almost always fair and honest, but how others deal with you in response may be quite different; this says more about them than it does about you. Face it -- you can't please everyone!
Also born on this date are: Luke Perry, actor; Joan Cusack, actress; Steve Young, football player; Elmore Leonard, author and screenwriter; Jerome Robbins, Broadway choreographer; Eleanor Roosevelt, U.S. first lady.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What makes sense to you isn't likely to make sense to anyone else, even those who are trying to do the same things you are attempting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are several clear and concise steps to take before you can call it a day, and you must approach them in order and at the right times.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be willing to improvise, but you know that you can be much more successful by sticking to a well-organized plan.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your inner compass may not be quite accurate, leaving you vulnerable to moral or emotional confusion before the day is out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to follow your own train of thought for a while, except in a purely instinctive way. Certain developments surprise you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are things you must accomplish that require a clear head and a keen eye; you mustn't let yourself become impaired in any way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A look back at a certain episode from your past will give you valuable insight into something that lies in your immediate future.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to use a little more ingenuity than usual to accomplish something that should actually be quite routine.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can change the way you look, the way you speak and the way you act, but you'll still be recognized by those who know you best.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to get more done than you planned, but it all depends upon making a strong, early start.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others are not likely to be affected by your complaining, so why bother? It's far better to accept the inevitable and work with it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a good understanding of the big issues facing you and others, but some of the smaller details may be too much for you.
