HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022

You always strive to do your best. You're cool and levelheaded, and you don't shy away from a challenge. You're a good judge of character, and it's easy for you to make friends. You take your commitments seriously, and you stick by your word. Integrity is at the core of who you are. When there's a problem to be solved, you pitch in and help. Though, oftentimes, you take the lead. Because of your charm and your tenaciousness, people are more than willing to follow your cue. This year, don't forget to allow people to help you as much as you help them. Family is the key word. Birthdate of: Sting, musician/actor; Rubi Rose, rapper/model; Annie Leibovitz, photographer.
