Though All Saints' Day is a Catholic observance, it spotlights a dilemma common to all: Many people who deserve to be honored for the good they do go unsung. Some of the most useful work happens without fanfare and receives little credit. Who in your own realm deserves more recognition than they're getting?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've shown up where you didn't have to. In fact, your dedication was not advised, but you can't help yourself. You see a need, you fill it. To do so anonymously will give you a rush.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's an energy in the air, and you're just the person who's sensitive enough to notice, interpret and react first. You'll set the tone and your calm, measured and reasonable response will bode well for the best possible outcome.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one who's caused a considerable amount of trouble has also been the source of much joy. They've taught you things, though perhaps unwittingly. They've been an adventure you wouldn't have chosen, but it's still pretty cool.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know people who are terrifically empathetic and others who are so practical you wonder if they are part robot. Both help you today, and you'll appreciate what different styles can bring to the problem at hand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're sly with your social graces. So sly that sometimes you even fool yourself. Before you consciously understand what you want out of a situation, the part of you that already knew has started working on it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're still wrestling with an issue when an angel steps in and nudges everything in an inspired direction. Give this person plenty of credit and more people will seem to come out of nowhere to help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's something almost childlike about your fascination, and that innocence will lead you toward discoveries an expert would miss. It's enough to just observe for now. Your natural reactions teach you plenty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Technical details could slow your progress. Seek the one who knows precisely how to handle them, and pay this person well. You'll solve the immediate problem and establish a relationship you'll be very glad to have later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone gives you a tip that seems almost too small to matter. You try it anyway and get an outsized result. Be sure to report back. Your success will delight the person who helped you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know how much effort goes into creating an easy experience for others. You'll notice who does the invisible work that keeps an operation running. Your acknowledgment means something because it's specific.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Niche interests will be very lucky for you now -- if not yours then someone else's. You'll uncover a fascinating pocket of knowledge and give someone the rare pleasure of discussing a favorite subject.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Today the opportunity to help will land right in your lap. A gesture that takes very little from you will make someone's day. You'll barely think twice about it and they'll be thinking about it for weeks.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1). In your Year of the Grand Future, the "someday" you once gazed wistfully toward will be a reality. A big obstacle disappears overnight, and you immediately know what to do with your new chapter. More highlights: Fun social experiments, developing a skill you'll use every day and creating a domestic routine that supports you on every level. Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 13, 3, 20 and 28.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Penn Badgley closes one remarkable chapter with the final season of "You" while opening another with his new book "Crushmore" and a starring role in the film adaptation of "You Deserve Each Other." The Scorpio actor has built a career around characters rich in contradiction and emotional complexity. His Mars in humanitarian Aquarius indicates a desire to pair creativity with purpose and use his talent to do good in the world.
