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

Happy birthday for Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017:
This year you tend be rather feisty, but you might prefer to be more caring and peaceful. You’ll do your best to respect others’ views and avoid power plays. Don’t lose your focus, as you will create a happier environment with these values. If you are single, the issue is not drawing someone in — the issue is recognizing that not everyone you attract is right for you. Trust that you will know when you meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you relate with unusual caring and openness. You prefer to spend a lot of one-on-one time with your sweetie. TAURUS might be stubborn, but he or she has a soft, caring side.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You will want to recognize the confusion surrounding a financial matter. What you hear does not seem to make sense, at least as of this moment. Your instincts prove to be right-on, though you might not want to take any risks right now. Tonight: Meet a friend for dinner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

A close friend often expresses unusual creativity through his or her wild ideas and propositions. In a sense, this person is otherworldly. Tap into his or her energy when you are feeling weary. Avoid a tendency to be so rigid. Tonight: Say “yes” to an exciting offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Listen to the whispers around you. Be smart when choosing whose opinions you choose to side with. Value others’ ideas, even if you do not agree with them. Touch base with a close loved one, and make the best of a situation that seems to be confusing. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have the desire to break past a restriction. Look at where you want to be and imagine that you are there already. Assess which thoughts restrict you from making your goals possible. Know that you will achieve what you desire. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Others admire how you handle pressure. Your strength comes not only from experience, but also from a strong sense of knowing what you want to achieve. Many of you have friends and/or loved ones who help you bottom-line your priorities. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

One-on-one relating defines your day. You might have a somewhat offbeat idea that you share with a loved one. You are likely to take the risk and follow through on this idea with this person’s support. Tonight: Make sure that wherever you go, good music surrounds you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
