Your Birthday for October 10, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 10th, 2024

Born today, you are often eager to take everything you know and everything you've done and put it through a process very much akin to alchemy in order to change it all and transform it into something entirely new, different, challenging and no doubt very exciting -- at least for you. What is the motivation behind this kind of behavior? You are so easily bored by yourself and by the world around you that you are always very eager to change things dramatically at the first sign of dissatisfaction or ennui, and you almost always find a way to do so in a manner that not only benefits you, but those around you as well. Indeed, you will spend much of your life leading others into new territory -- whether you or they know it or not!

You are always interested in what makes people tick and you will study human behavior intimately throughout much of your lifetime -- in a manner, of course, that is not always mainstream or even recognized by the world at large. You will accumulate knowledge in your own way, at your own pace, for your own reasons, and no one else but you can determine whether you've been successful or not.

Also born on this date are: Henry Cavendish, chemist, mathematician, and astronomer; Thelonius Monk, jazz musician; Harold Pinter, actor and playwright; Giuseppe Verdi, composer; James Clavell, novelist; Helen Hayes, actress; Harry "Sweets" Edison, jazz trumpeter; Oom Paul Kruger, South African statesman.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Reach out to a friend today and ask for the help you need. You're likely to receive a quick response that surprises both of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to examine your methods. Are you doing things that will get you what you want in the time allowed? Be honest with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can provide something special today to those in need, so long as you trust yourself and take advantage of an unforeseen opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take the time to chart your anticipated course with care today. The more prepared you are, the more effective any needed adjustments will be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't make the mistake of submitting your work without checking it for errors. Even at your best, you are capable of making very small mistakes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time to carry a grudge. Reach out to those who may have offended you in the past and let them know that you're very much over it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to give someone else a wide berth today in order to avoid a conflict that will threaten more than your peace of mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have trouble understanding the rules today, but if you follow another's lead you should avoid a run-in with any authority figures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A problem you encounter today isn't going to solve itself, so you're going to have to make ample time to give it some serious thought.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are likely to need more than luck today in order to meet another's expectations. Be ready to work harder than expected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take a closer look at what appears to lie ahead of you today and you'll come to realize that your plans for the future require adjustment.

Your Birthday for October 09, 2024

Your Birthday | October 9th, 2024

Born today, you were likely born with a great deal of talent and the desire to do great things with it -- but how you get started may be the problem you have to address through much of your youth, until either through sheer will or because of the assistance of others you get your big break. Once you get that, it's practically a foregone conclusion that you will achieve everything you wish to achieve and even perhaps reach the very pinnacle of your chosen profession -- provided, of course, you choose one in which you can use your remarkable talents and not simply fritter them away. You are quite confident, even to the point of cockiness, but that's really a part of your charm; others love you because you seem to love yourself so much!

You very much enjoy communing with others, and if you can do so through your work, all the better. Communicating new ideas, especially those that are challenging or even controversial, is one of your great talents, and you always desire to reach people in a manner that touches them deeply, often in ways they may not truly understand.

Also born on this date are: John Lennon, singer, songwriter, musician, former Beatle; Camille Saint-Saens, composer; Jackson Browne, singer and songwriter; Jacques Tati, actor; Alfred Dreyfus, embattled French military officer; King Charles X of France; John Entwistle, rock musician of The Who fame; Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It may be hard for you to keep everything straight in your head today, especially when it comes to facts and figures. Write things down!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel responsible today for something you really had little to do with yesterday. You must shake this off before moving forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do what you can to understand both sides of an issue that has become far too divisive lately. You can soon bring people back together.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Now is no time for gilding the lily. You must do what you are called upon to do in the simplest and most straightforward way possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to get to the heart of even the most complicated issue will come in handy today as you address a problem others simply cannot solve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do what you can to clear your schedule of anything that doesn't serve your most immediate purpose at this time -- and avoid busywork!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Pay attention to all instructions today, especially those designed to get you where you’re going. Avoid shortcuts you know little about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your desires are worth some close examination today, as what you want isn't really in sync with the way things are currently progressing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be overthinking something that should be simple and straightforward. Let someone else guide you if possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to make a change that you think will improve things both at home and at work -- but you may be overlooking something obvious.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself in a tight spot today, and getting out of it is going to require you to negotiate carefully with an apparent rival.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- While things are certainly not the way they were before, they are also not yet the way you want them. There's work to do today.

Your Birthday for October 08, 2024

Your Birthday | October 8th, 2024

Born today, you don't always go about your business in the most efficient way, in part because you are so energetic that it is almost impossible for you to control yourself completely when you are working toward what you know intellectually is an achievable goal. You will sometimes scatter your shot simply because you fail to focus keenly enough to get your work done in the manner in which you had planned, and there are times when you must rely on others to help you clean up the mess you've made. That said, the fact is that you often do things that are so remarkable, and accomplish things that are so important to yourself and to others, that your occasional misfire is almost always forgivable.

You have something of an adventurous spirit, and though you will usually do things only after studying them carefully, you have been known to jump into the unknown simply for the fun of it -- and for the adrenaline rush that almost always results. Indeed, you can be something of an adrenaline seeker at times!

Also born on this date are: Jesse Jackson, clergyman, orator, and political figure; Eddie Rickenbacker, top American World War I flying ace; Sigourney Weaver, actress; Cesar Milstein, Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist; Matt Biondi, Olympic swimmer; Chevy Chase, actor and comic; Paul Hogan, actor; Juan Peron, Argentine dictator; Rona Barrett, gossip columnist.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are eager to relive the fun you had some time ago doing something that others had warned you against. Dangers are fewer now than then.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be pulled in several directions at once today, and the best thing you can do to protect yourself is to learn how to say "no"!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You and a partner may disagree about how to improve your current situation at this time. Why not try both ideas, one after the other?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your options may not thrill you today, but they are worth exploring -- at least on paper. You may discover you've overlooked something.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may finally have to do something about the dissatisfaction that's been slowly growing beneath the surface. Make a change -- any change!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you do on your own today may not reach the same level as a job you can do with a partner, but you're not in the mood for a group effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is no time to start believing your own press. Indeed, you are best to look at your own recent accomplishments through a critical lens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll not find every moment as easy as you might wish, but if you push through those early in the day, you'll build a useful head of steam.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be more comfortable having something to fall back on at this time, but don't assume you'll have to do that -- for any reason.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A strong start today will send a signal to your competitors that you're still in the game. You can follow it up with some surprising gains.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be the one to determine how fast -- or slow -- certain activities must progress today, but your reasons may not always be clear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Encourage collaboration today, and you and your partners can very likely get more done than you had planned. Concentration must not wane!
