Happy Birthday Libras and Scorpios!
"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October." — Nathaniel Hawthorne
October is your month! The cool air has settled in, the leaves are beginning to turn, and birds are high tailing it south for the winter. On the sports fronts, football is dominating the scene, hockey season begins and the World Series closes the baseball season. We get to enjoy an extra hour of sleep when the clocks are turned back on the 26th, not to mention a day off for Columbus Day on the 13th- that is, if you are (un)lucky enough to be employed by the government. And best of all, you were born! However, besides your birth, did you know many other important things took place in October?
