Born today, you do not always have a tight grip on the reins of your emotions. They may often run away with you and endanger you both physically and mentally if you're not careful to pull them up short and regain control of them once more. It is perhaps unavoidable that you will succumb to depression now and then in your life, but you will find that humor is perhaps the greatest single antidote, and if you find an occasion to laugh -- any occasion at all -- you are actually quite likely to avoid sinking into one of your darker moods. What is it that you laugh at? Anything and everything, to be sure, for someone like you does not hold anything so precious or sacred that it cannot be the object of irony or fun. Indeed, your life may be a constant battle between astonishing highs and abysmal lows.

Once you find your way in the world and discover what your true calling really is, you're sure to rise to a place in which you are so comfortable and so fulfilled that the danger of depression is avoided for good -- almost. And once you find the one job to which you are most suited, you're likely to hang on to it through good times and bad.
Also born on this date are: Sylvia Plath, writer and poet; Nanette Fabray, singer; Roy Lichtenstein, artist; Simon Le Bon, singer; John Cleese, actor and comedian; Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. president; Dylan Thomas, poet.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 28
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Natural impulses don't all have to be squelched today. Let yourself explore options in a manner that feels more expansive than usual.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not yet have run out of options, even though you feel like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. Wait a moment, then reconsider.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pay attention to that which comes to you in a manner that defies expectation or convention. This can prove useful almost immediately.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't even try to proceed today as if nothing of import happened yesterday that affects your abilities or intentions. Deal with it head-on!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have a secret that you are eager to share with a friend or loved one, but that's not how you should proceed. Keep mum -- for now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- As long as you truly believe you're doing nothing wrong, you can proceed with impunity today. However, you may soon want to explain yourself!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you want and what you need are two very different things, and the day will fall out according to which you pursue. Involve no one else.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) –- As you let yourself gravitate toward someone who seems to share many of your own values, consider how a real collaboration could look.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must have your ducks in a row before you go sailing off to explore new territories. You mustn't leave a mess for someone else!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll enjoy the opportunity to show someone else what it is you do best -- and enjoy most, too. This may open a new door at work.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Moderate your output today so that you don't exhaust yourself and prove unable to perform at a key moment. How many can do what you do?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you interpret messages today will make all the difference, and you want to be sure you give everything that arrives its due.
