YOUR HOROSCOPE
BIRTHDAY STAR: Actor Dylan Baker was born in Syracuse, N.Y., on this day in 1959. This birthday star earned three Emmy nominations for his role as the devious Colin Sweeney on “The Good Wife,” a role he also played on “The Good Fight.” He’s portrayed Johnny Carson on “I’m Dying Up Here” and Senator Paley on “Homeland.” Baker earned a 1991 Tony nomination for his performance in the Broadway production of “La Bete.”
Aries (March 21-April 19): It is usually commendable to be spontaneous, but spontaneity won’t be welcomed under these stars. For now, refrain from acting on your latest whims. You may find you’re best served overall by blending into the crowd.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Color inside the lines to earn the most respect. Using unorthodox methods may give you a leg up on the competition, but you might not earn recognition for your efforts from those who expect you to follow the rules.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Exercising your talent for precision and paying attention to the tiniest details can save you numerous problems later. You may be distracted by phone calls and interrupted by co-workers.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Blurting out whatever you think can cause some pain. You might have some excellent ideas or crucial information, but people may not be receptive to hearing them right now. Bring up sensitive subjects another time.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of your health with diet and exercise. Preventative medicine is always preferable to doctor visits and pills. Let go of any aggravation you might feel about rules at work. Stay positive and tend to your mental and emotional well-being.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Tempting as it may be to indulge in a bit of gossip, steer clear of rumors and hearsay. Save major decisions about acquisitions for a later date. Focus on positive subjects.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Though you are measured and fair, it may be better to simply be quiet right now and allow others to have their way to avoid hard feelings. Loved ones could be hypersensitive to implied criticism today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be perfectly attuned to your surroundings but that won’t necessarily make you exempt from criticism. Get to work on time and be sure to fulfill your duties to the best of your ability.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Consider ways to cut back or economize that won’t cramp your lifestyle. With restrictive Saturn in your solar house of finance, it’s no wonder you’re feeling the pinch.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t take chances or get away with excuses under these stars. If you lack the proper credentials, you won’t be able to slip in beneath the radar. Right now, following the rules and regulations is essential.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have a knack for finding practical solutions, so use your head to cut through a pile of red tape. Save the heart-to-heart discussions and wait for a while to bring up new ideas under better stars.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may groove along without a care in the world, but be cautious because the world might care. Although you have some great ideas and plans, it might be wise to wait to put them into motion. Focus on good health.
if October 7 is your birthday: Your competitive streak is at a peak, making the next three to four weeks an ideal time to try a new sport or test your prowess at games of skill. Avoid implementing new financial strategies in November and December. Take a weekend excursion or head to a vacation destination where you can relax and enjoy. January is a good time to chill out with friends or join a club that explores wider horizons. In late February and early March, your insight with money will be at a zenith, so follow through with moneymaking ideas. In March and April, you will shine in public as well as private venues. That is a good time to put plans into motion for longterm success.
