Born today, you know how to organize, rally the troops and stay on task. You make your efforts more efficient and effective with each passing attempt in order to maximize rewards for yourself and others. You are only truly content when you are using these talents to the fullest, as head of a group that is personally challenging, forward-moving, forward-thinking and important. Indeed, this last is probably the key element: You want to be involved with things that are meaningful -- not only to you, but to others -- and you want to be remembered for that. However, if you are given the choice between doing something with real meaning that wins results without fanfare or being remembered for your efforts in less critical matters, you'll choose the former, surely.
You don't always approach your personal affairs with the same organizational aplomb that you bring to work and business, with the expected result that not everything is likely to go according to plan. You have a way, however, of adjusting to changing circumstances in order to avoid too much personal upset or disappointment.
Also born on this date are: Lauren Tewes, actress; Mahalia Jackson, singer; Jaclyn Smith, actress and model; Cary Elwes, actor; Pat Sajak, game show host; Bob Hoskins, actor; Jackie Coogan, actor; Dylan McDermott, actor; Natalie Merchant, singer-songwriter.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have every reason to stay the course, but you are on the verge of changing your mind -- and your immediate future, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have misremembered something recently, with the unforeseen result that you are not where you are supposed to be right now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have a run-in of sorts with someone more powerful than you, but you should be able to hold your own when it counts.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may think that you've positioned yourself ahead of the pack, but someone else is gaining on you very quickly. Keep up the pace.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have trouble mustering enthusiasm for something that doesn't suit your fancy. Someone close to you thinks he or she knows what's best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're getting closer to your destination, but not everyone sees the progress you've been making. You know how important every step has been.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Plan your day carefully. Not everyone needs to know what you are doing at every moment. Some things are best kept under wraps for now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to find some way to announce yourself, and the best method may be staring you right in the face! Take advantage of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have more options available to you than you had supposed. A friend yields to your suggestion. Give someone a second chance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can actually gain a great deal by doing something in a very conventional way. Events point to a sea change later; are you ready?
