Born today, you are a highly motivated individual with creative tendencies that surely became evident at a very early age to all who knew you. Though you tend to be rather understated, others will always be keenly aware of you -- you have a knack for making your presence known without so much as lifting a finger, and your silence often communicates far more than any words you might use. You know how to take advantage of any situation, and you can often turn a disadvantage into a golden opportunity. This in itself will give you a leg up over others, both at work and at play -- as will your ability to remain friendly and affable even when things heat up and the competition between you and others becomes quite fierce.
You can look at a situation and see very quickly what needs to be done to minimize hazards and maximize rewards -- and others will often seek you out for advice and assistance in this regard. You understand that it's the little things that often matter most. You never mind doing a menial task, as long as it leads to something big!
Also born on this date are: Kevin Kline, actor; B.D. Wong, actor; Drake, rapper; F. Murray Abraham, actor; Moss Hart, playwright.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Follow instructions to the letter, and you should be able to avoid any and all delays -- provided you are equipped with the right tools.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have questions, and someone close to you has the answers. If you work together, you can surmount almost any obstacle.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your ability to express yourself clearly must not fail! Say what you mean, and don't let others off the hook when their words are vague.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You already have a good deal of knowledge about a certain hot topic, but you may have a bit more to learn before being truly effective.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Not everyone is willing to follow your rules. Make it clear that there will be a price to pay for drifting from the current course.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have a good ear and a keen eye, so you can be quite discerning when you have to be. These traits will certainly come in handy today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have solved a problem quite effectively, but you'll realize that there are side effects that are not wholly desirable.
