You are more than willing to forgive another's transgressions, provided you are not in any way materially affected by them and can trust that the individual in question understands what he or she has done and can ensure correction of some kind. In other words, you know that mistakes happen -- but you believe they can and expect they will be fixed!
Also born on this date are: Eleanor Roosevelt, U.S. first lady and U.N. delegate; Joan Cusack, actress; Jerome Robbins, choreographer and director; Lester Bowie, jazz trumpeter.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to lay down the law for someone who thinks he can do whatever he wants with impunity. You must correct this thinking!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The questions you ask today reveal much more about yourself than they do about the topic at hand. Realize that this is indeed about you!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must keep track of all expenditures today -- especially those that are unplanned. Very soon you may have to report all financial activity.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have said something recently that comes back to haunt you today. Instead of trying to backpedal, simply fess up to it and apologize.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're searching for something that has been tempting you for some time. It may be within reach today, but are you ready to take possession of it?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A loved one reveals to you something about yourself today that changes the way you have been thinking about a certain tricky situation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Pay attention to those who seek you out for special counsel today; don't simply brush them off. You'll benefit as well from advice you give.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- While waiting for someone to give you what you've asked for, you'll want to make alternate arrangements just in case. Be prepared!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The unusual seems quite ordinary to you today -- and vice versa. Your entire perspective is changing. Can you keep up with yourself?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in no mood to fight against invisible enemies today. When you are facing a "clear and present" threat, you can mount a defense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are trying to do what others have already done -- but by bringing up the rear in this way, you're giving yourself a certain rare advantage.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your day will be filled with surprises, and the more you allow yourself to embrace the uncommon, the more ready you'll be for a new challenge.
