October 20 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Mentally sharp and with the gift of persuasion, you are a Libra with charm and excellent people skills. With a need to be different, you are likely to project an attractive appearance and be drawn to original individuals. Being expressive and a shrewd observer of human behavior, you shine in social situations. Appreciating art, music, and creativity, you need to be surrounded by beauty, style, and luxury.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Gemini, indicates that you are intellectually quick and able to impress people with words, either verbally or in writing. Being a good speaker and enjoying a debate comes from your ability to be decisively outspoken, yet diplomatic. You may have to be careful, however, that your humorous and cutting wit does not turn into sarcasm.
Having much to gain from cooperative efforts and partnerships, you particularly profit from personal contacts. Being provocative or manipulative, though, can lose you the many benefits of creating harmony and balance in relationships. Very determined when you have a goal in mind, you are capable of inventive and original achievements. However, you may need to protect your highly tuned nervous system to avoid becoming irritable or stressed.
From very early in your childhood, your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, emphasizing your growing awareness of emotional change and personal power. A turning point occurs at the age of thirty-three when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, indicating that you may wish to expand your horizons or travel. If education becomes a focal point, study of philosophy, psychology, and law can be beneficial. You are also likely to have more contact with foreign people and places. After the age of sixty-three, when your progressed Sun enters Capricorn, you become more practical, sensible, and prudent.

Your Secret Self
A tremendous inner power ensures that with dedication and hard work you can achieve almost anything. An active social life can be either a source of lively activity and entertainment or a distraction from achieving your outstanding potential-sometimes both. Whether socializing or working, you can project a warm and caring consideration for others that may even extend to humanitarian interests and activities.
Having a sixth sense about what motivates people, you can be highly intuitive. If you become too serious, however, you can be stubborn or moody. By staying independent and continually initiating new projects, you strengthen your sense of purpose and determination. Being dramatic and possessing a potential for leadership, you have the ability to effectively benefit from your outstanding potential.
PRIMARY STAR’S INFLUENCE
Arcturus imparts artistic talent and success in the world of fine arts. This star can bestow riches, honors, and acclaim, and bring prosperity. Arcturus may also bring success in foreign lands and through long journeys. This star warns against restlessness and anxious moments, which create instability in your life.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, Arcturus imparts wealth and a good reputation. This star brings success after early setbacks and grants intuitive, psychic, or healing abilities. An inclination toward the legal profession or public office may bring success. Alternatively, you may find an interest in writing on philosophical, spiritual, or religious subjects. This star suggests guarding against becoming too apprehensive-and discontented by learning to accept calmly the ups and downs of life and staying detached.
• Positive: religious contacts, good judgment, long voyages, glamorous
• Negative: overindulgence, overly enthusiastic, laziness, negligence
Work & Vocation

If you develop your creative gifts, you may choose a career in education as a teacher or lecturer or in publishing as a writer or journalist. Diplomatic and easygoing, with an ability to become involved on a personal level, you are a natural psychologist who can succeed in counseling, therapy, or the health professions. A need to express yourself and a love of the dramatic may lure you to the entertainment and art worlds. Alternatively, your leadership abilities, organizational skills, and strategic planning may place you in the world of commerce, where you can collaborate with others or be involved in large projects.
