CRYPTOQUIP/CROSSWORD/HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, October 1, 2017:

This year you express your strong will, and as a result, you create much more of what you want. Your finances build, especially if you don’t get too wild with your spending. If you are single, you are unusually confident, which makes you more of a challenge to wannabe suitors. Later in your birthday year, you are likely to meet someone who gives you a case of butterflies! If you are attached, the two of you might have a disagreement from time to time. Being right is not as important as having this person in your life. AQUARIUS knows how to make you laugh.

A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Aquarius.
