Born today, you are not always as straightforward as you might be. You have a great many thoughts swirling in your brain at any given time, and your mind is a wellspring of ideas -- many of which can prove quite beneficial and even profitable, and some of which will never come to fruition. The difficulty, of course, is in the communicating of those ideas, for your habit is to make things far more difficult to understand than they have to be -- and that in itself can stack the odds against you as you strive for success.
When you keep things simple, you are able to get to the heart of things more swiftly -- which will enable you, in turn, to work from a more instinctive and emotional place. The more “organic” you can be in all that you do, the more you will be able to break new ground and prove that you can -- and should -- be at the forefront of much that is exciting and progressive.
Also born on this date are: Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York; Penny Marshall, actress and director; Linda Lavin, actress; Emeril Lagasse, celebrity chef; Lee Iacocca, automaker; Mario Puzo, author.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your quick judgment of someone isn’t likely to pan out today. He or she may very well win you over completely before all is said and done.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to resign yourself to remaining in the dark about a certain issue that surrounds you and a loved one who is being secretive.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Those who are at cross purposes today may look to you for some guidance. You can see things in a way that they can’t -- and that helps!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The verdict is in and you’ll have to do whatever is required to make amends, if the decision is against you and your position.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone gets in touch with you and reminds you of the “good old days” -- but don’t be fooled! There’s no reason to go back in time, surely!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A secret you’ve been keeping for quite some time may have to be shared at last before a certain key relationship can progress.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Just when you thought that something was over and done with, you’re likely to have to start all over again. Today brings several such surprises.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are likely to recognize a link between yourself and someone you thought was very different. Together, you can accomplish much.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to be a little more explicit as you give instructions to others today. Not all of your intentions will be clear at first.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Giving someone else “one last chance” isn’t likely to have the effect you desire. You will want to try a more conciliatory tone, perhaps.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is the time for you to make crystal clear the meaning behind your more “mysterious” behavior. You’ll win a lot of support.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’ll benefit from someone else’s good ideas today -- and together you can make something happen that benefits others.
