Your Birthday for October 05, 2024

Your Birthday | October 5th, 2024

Born today, you are easily fed up with that which is not fair, equitable or -- as you would prefer to put it -- simply right, and you will dedicate all of your time and energy to putting right that which you see as wrong. You are sure to make more than your share of friends in this manner, but enemies too -- and you must always be ready to deal with those whose ideas of right and wrong are different from your own. You may poo-poo the very idea, but they are out there, and they're likely to be just as adamant and as passionate about their notions as you are about yours -- so when you are called upon to fight for your beliefs, you had better be ready to bring your all to the contest.

You are highly creative and you find it very easy to think outside the box and come up with new and fanciful ideas where there were none before. What is tricky, however, is getting others to sign on and work hard with you to turn your ideas into reality! Those who will do this are sure to be friends and allies for life.

Also born on this date are: Vaclav Havel, Czech president and playwright; Denis Diderot, French philosopher; Chester A. Arthur, U.S. president; Louis Lumiere, chemist, movie camera and projector inventor, pioneer filmmaker; Bob Geldof, musician and promoter; Mario Lemieux, hockey player; Donald Pleasence, actor; Steve Miller, singer, songwriter, and musician; Richard Gordon, astronaut; Glynis Johns, actress.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

Your Birthday for October 04, 2024

Your Birthday | October 4th, 2024

Born today, you have a way of communicating with others that is all your own, and through your use of words, gestures and body language, you are able to say more, and say it more effectively, than most anyone else born under your sign who tries to deliver messages in their own ways. You have a knack for inspiring others, and for sparking genuine interest within them for the kinds of notions, issues and topics that they may never have even noticed before -- but under your guidance they likely discover that not only is a given topic interesting, it's just the kind of thing that can change their lives! And that's the real magic of you: You are able to make tomorrow different from today, and not only different but measurably better -- for yourself, for your loved ones and for virtually everyone with whom you interact.

You love a good joke, you tell stories well and you love nothing more than spending time with people who enjoy spending time with you. You are a hard worker, surely, but when it comes to playtime, you really hit your stride, and you know how to fill recreational hours with activities that are memorable and impactful.

Also born on this date are: Buster Keaton, silent film star; Susan Sarandon, actress; Charlton Heston, actor; Rutherford B. Hayes, U.S. president; Anne Rice, novelist.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You needn't do everything all at once today; separate your actions to ensure that you can indeed make progress each and every step of the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be disappointed by someone whom you thought you could trust -- but this needn't last long. Fix the problem -- and talk about it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've made plans that are sure to lead you where you want to go, but a good start is essential. Today's actions can set things in motion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You mustn't take criticism to heart today. Know that what you do is going to attract all kinds of attention, including pledges of support.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The choice you have to make is one that no one around you would want to make -- but you should be able to ensure only positive developments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The fear you have for someone else is based on erroneous assumptions. The truth is that you have more in common than you might imagine!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A change of scenery can do you a world of good -- but only if you take the time to look around and enjoy what it really has to offer you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You cannot afford to beat around the bush when it comes to money matters. Ask for what you need, and direct another's helpful efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are working on a plan, but you won't be hurried in any way. Get in touch with someone who clearly knows what lies ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do what you can to make a first chance pay off today, as you're not likely to get a second. Give what you can to someone who reaches out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be torn between two very colorful interests today, and you're eager to find a way to indulge in both. Perhaps a friend has the answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be called upon to settle things down today after a friend's impetuous actions complicate matters unnecessarily. You know what's required.

Your Birthday for October 03, 2024

Your Birthday | October 3rd, 2024

Born today, you very often seem to know better than most what is going on around you, and why, and what you can and should do about it -- and when you do take action, it is most often very effective. What is it that gives you this power over the kinds of things that render other people powerless? It's not confidence, though you are surely confident; it's not timing, though your timing is often impeccable; and it's not luck, though you do consider yourself a lucky individual. Rather, it's the genuine belief that if you don't do something, nothing will get done, and so you jump at any chance to take action when things are going down. You are sure to attract a great deal of attention as one who gets things done.

You can be rather emotional at times, but instead of letting yourself be ruled by your emotions, you likely have learned how to channel your emotions into the things you do. This comes across as passion, of course, and passion is very attractive to others -- which may explain why you are so often drawing others into your orbit!

Also born on this date are: Eleonora Duse, actress; Thomas Wolfe, novelist; Ming Cho Lee, theatrical scenic designer; Chubby Checker, rock singer and musician; Gore Vidal, author; Dave Winfield, baseball player.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to make a certain request several times today before anyone in charge is willing to respond to you in a productive manner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find that you're actually in a better position to get things done today than you were yesterday. Take advantage of this, by all means!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You cannot let a chance encounter surprise you so much that you are unable to use it to your advantage today. Be ready for almost anything!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Why are you hesitant to follow the path that can lead you directly to your desired destination? Are you more afraid of success than failure?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Going nowhere today can be just as detrimental as going backward. You must be willing to forge ahead even when the road looks hazardous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be put to the test today in a personal or professional way, but if you combine the personal and professional, you can surely prevail!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Something you weren't able to do yesterday or the day before may actually be quite easy for you today, after an unexpected change of heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A quick attitude adjustment may be required today before you're able or even willing to jump into something unknown and help another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can try anything today, but take care you don't let your zest for adventure get the better of you. You must be practical again soon!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Talk may run the gamut today between casual, routine affairs and those that no one has been willing to mention. You can be quite influential.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you are trying to accomplish today may run counter to that which those in charge are trying to do -- but you're on the right track.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Give yourself more time to do the things that don't come easily today. You cannot afford, right now, to be hard on yourself or unrealistic.
