Your Birthday for September 04, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 4th, 2012

Born today, you seem on the one hand to be rather shy and retiring, and yet at times you can be one of the most outgoing individuals born under your sign. That you are both of these things cannot be denied; there are those who know you well who claim that there is even a third "you" -- one which is so very different from the other two that it is difficult to recognize it at all. It is this persona that can actually prove damaging to your future, for it borders on the careless and, at times, even on the self-sacrificial.

You have a great deal of determination and tenacity, and like all Virgo natives, you do not suffer well those who would say "no" to you -- for you will not be stifled, restricted or bound in any way. You want to do what you want to do -- period!

Also born on this date are: Ione Skye, actress; Mitzi Gaynor, actress; Paul Harvey, radio commentator; Damon Wayans, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you do in and around the home can center and settle you, and prepare you for a more hectic time to come. Harmony and confidence are key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your will is quite strong, but you must guard against becoming aggressive or, even worse, combative. Some compromises are surely necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are not interested in being a good loser today -- but still, you will have to take what comes in stride. Begin making plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be rather shaken by the decision another makes -- for he or she has been one to look up to, at least until now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may want to change your thinking with regard to a certain plan of action. You can see certain dangers that are invisible to others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Scheduling your day may prove something of a puzzle, as you may have to be in two or three places at once -- or so it seems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to get something familiar done in a way you haven't attempted before. All things are in alignment, and ready for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are expecting something to happen in a particular way, but there are many ways it may happen -- and a surprise is surely in store.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You shouldn't be held back today, even if you are not feeling physically fit. Today's endeavors may prove more intellectual in nature.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you are able to arrange the time and the place, it will be important for you to do something as a favor for one in charge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want your own needs met, of course, but much satisfaction will come of shared efforts that address the needs of the group.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone who has been out of the picture for a while may haunt your memory in ways that prove unsettling at first -- then inspirational.

Your Birthday for September 03, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 3rd, 2012

Born today, you are able to plug away at a task no matter what the obstacles may be or what hardship you may have to endure -- such is your dedication, your tenacity and your confidence. You honestly do not feel that there are very many things that you cannot do if you set your mind to it. This may seem like cockiness, or at the very least a fantasy -- but there is something in it that is the truth, for you have a knack for proving yourself again and again over time, doing the very things that others -- critics and supporters alike -- may be certain that you cannot do, or that cannot be done by anyone.

You're not all that interested in personal gain, notoriety or fame -- though you will accept anything that comes your way with gratitude. You are more interested in keeping busy, in broadening your range of experience and in learning how to do new things. You're not a glory hound.

Also born on this date are: Eileen Brennan, actress; Valerie Perrine, actress; Charlie Sheen, actor; Ferdinand Porsche, inventor; Alan Ladd, actor.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Forces beyond your immediate control will surely have an effect on the results of your own efforts -- but this will not be permanent.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be sending mixed signals and not even know it. Someone else is wondering if you really mean what you are saying.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new idea is likely to be met with approval -- but not in all quarters. Some will object simply because it is your idea, and not theirs.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You cannot fool those who know you best -- and one person in particular will seem to know exactly what you are really up to, and why.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- He or she who plays an important role in your affairs today will be deserving of special favor when you have a chance to give it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be after something that is, for whatever reason, prohibited or simply unavailable. It's time to reshape some of your desires.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not feel as though you can win the game, but that judgment is premature. Your staying power can surely serve you quite well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A certain project may not be going exactly as planned -- but is that because of a personnel problem, or a misuse of available resources?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Communication will be made easier today as a result of proximity, if nothing else. Clarity is enhanced at this time, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's important that you have something to fall back on if your primary plan doesn't work as expected. You mustn't simply stop!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to tend to more than expected today -- but you have what it takes, and can work long after others have called it a day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel as though things are being said in a way that is designed to be impossible to decipher. This may simply be a delusion.

Your Birthday for September 02, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 2nd, 2012

Born today, you have the ability to do what it takes to get a job done, even if it's something you've never done before. Once you set your sights on a particular goal you can be confident that you will reach it, one way or another, with or without the help of others. Fortunately, however, you may not have to go it alone very often; you have a way of soliciting help that is virtually irresistible; there are very few people who would tell you "no" when you ask for something. Once you have been given even the slightest opportunity, you will capitalize on it and turn it into a highly rewarding proposition -- personally and professionally.

You know how to take praise graciously, and you are able to listen to criticism without becoming sullen or defensive -- usually. There are times when you may be more sensitive than usual, and take even constructive comments more personally than you should -- but this is the exception, not the rule.

Also born on this date are: Salma Hayek, actress; Lennox Lewis, boxer; Keanu Reeves, actor; Jimmy Connors, tennis player; Mark Harmon, actor; Christa McAuliffe, teacher and Challenger astronaut; Terry Bradshaw, football player.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are not wanting to do things entirely on your own, but finding the right partner may be a chore. The answer comes to you suddenly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to take something to the next level -- but another party may have doubts about your true motives. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The questions you ask may mean one thing on the surface, and another thing beneath -- and the answers will have depth as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Hesitation and procrastination can only make things difficult for you and those around you. You can be certain and confident!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone else may be waiting for you to make a decision that is not easy for you to make. Don't feel pressured; he or she must be patient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have certain things to do today that overlap with what another has to do; it may be a good idea for you both to pool your resources.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may wake with a start as things around you are already running at full steam. Must you begin at such a pace? It's unclear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're after definite answers, but the "definite" is something that may be in short supply.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are not quite ready to share the things that are going on in your own mind. Let them percolate and ripen a bit first.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can surely lead those who need guidance, and you can follow those who know where they're going. Either role can suit you today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not feel quite right about either of two choices available to you. Why not strive to reshape them?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will have to move from one endeavor to another with swiftness and agility. There won't be a lot of waiting around at this time.
