Born today, you will always benefit from having a rich and sometimes unusual sense of humor. The truth is that you can laugh at anything at all, at any time, but you must take care because what strikes you as funny is not always funny to others. It would be inappropriate, certainly, for you to indulge in unfettered laughter at the expense of others at any time, so you must always strive to focus your humorous take on life so that you are laughing at the right times.
You are a proponent of all the good things in life when it comes to human dynamics: love, generosity, kindness, encouragement, support -- all of these are very much a part of who you are. Your overall outlook is positive and forward-thinking.
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.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can afford to do a little more than you had planned today; the only real consideration is how much time you have to do it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be tempted to try something new today -- but you mustn't do so entirely on your own. Connect with someone who will have your back.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have been devising several strategies by which to further an important cause. Today you'll learn which is the right one to implement.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will want to communicate very closely with someone whose affairs are akin to your own; do so in his or her language if you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You needn't interpret messages literally today. In fact, those that can be read in more than one way are the most important to you right now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Something about you is attracting other people into your orbit at an accelerated rate. This is something you'll want to exploit, surely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're going to have to make your desires known today -- and the most direct way is certainly the best way. You won't be misunderstood!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to navigate some tricky terrain today. Someone you know is leading the way, but he or she may not always be visible to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you don't simply take what you are offered without examining it for defects today. You surely want to get your money's worth!
