HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014: This year you could feel pulled in two different directions. Many opportunities will come to you through public commitments and outside engagements. On the other hand, you will want to spend more time at home. If you are single, a relationship could be very important to you. Later in the year, you could meet someone quite special. If you are attached, the two of you often might be apart, unless you decide to keep your sweetie more involved in the aspects of your life that have little to do with him or her. In any case, make special time for this person. AQUARIUS often stands up to you; don’t take it personally.
