Your Birthday for September 20, 2012

Your Birthday | September 20th, 2012

Born today, you are likely to attract into your orbit a great many people of all different types throughout your lifetime, so essentially attractive are you. Indeed, you are almost certain to be the cause of an almost irresistible fascination to members of the opposite sex, who sense on the one hand that you are someone to get to know better and on the other that a relationship with you may actually prove rather complicated. It's nothing that you do or say, exactly, that gives people this notion; rather, it's a kind of energy or vibe that you give off quite naturally.

You like doing things quickly; once you've made up your mind about something you're not the kind to wonder if it's the right decision or if you had better wait until the timing is just right. On the contrary, if you've made up your mind, then you're good to go as far as you're concerned!

Also born on this date are: Moon Bloodgood, actress; Gary Cole, actor; Taro Aso, Japanese prime minister; Sophia Loren, actress; Anne Meara, actress and comedian; Upton Sinclair, author.

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.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can find bargains, surely -- but take care you are not simply being drawn in by unscrupulous salesmen who have nothing of value to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You and a friend or loved one have been skirting an issue for quite some time -- and today, finally, you can speak about it openly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can lend your support to another's cause at this time -- but you must realize that you're not likely to get the credit you truly deserve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will have to ask yourself, before the day is out, why you are involved in a certain group endeavor. What's in it for you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The cyclic nature of your affairs will be highlighted today, as one thing gives way to another, and so on, in small but significant ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Entrusting yourself to another is not really as hazardous today as it may seem to you at first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find that trust, ultimately, is the key issue of the day. He or she who inspires and earns your trust is worth hanging on to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll have reason to venture into unfamiliar and perhaps dangerous territory today. Equip yourself with navigational equipment!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to concentrate on those endeavors that really allow you to express yourself. Don't let anyone stand in your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be waiting for information that is absolutely essential to your current efforts. Tension may rise during afternoon hours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be accused of taking things too casually at this time -- and indeed, you are able to laugh things off more easily than most.

Your Birthday for September 19, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 19th, 2012

Born today, you are one of those rather mysterious individuals who others may find quite difficult to understand, and indeed anyone who tries to plumb the true depths of "you" is likely to be disappointed, for you're not likely to give up your secrets to just anyone! In truth, you are not consciously secretive or reluctant to share yourself with others; rather, you are simply so complex, and seem to have so many facets, that it is virtually impossible for anyone who studies you to learn the whole truth about you.

You are something of an emotional fireball -- but fortunately, you will no doubt have learned to control your feelings in a way that prevents unwanted flare-ups. You understand, too, that your emotional makeup is very much a part of who you are, what you do, and how you will make your way in the world.

Also born on this date are: Alison Sweeney, actress; Jimmy Fallon, comedian and late-night host; Jim Abbott, baseball player; Trisha Yearwood, singer; Joan Lunden, morning TV host; Twiggy, model; Jeremy Irons, actor; "Mama" Cass Elliot, singer; Paul Williams, songwriter; Adam West, actor; Duke Snider, baseball player.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone may accuse you of doing something you did not do. Don't let his or her false testimony derail you; this needn't be a lengthy episode.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find that you are not able to do simple, routine things as well as usual today, mostly because your attention is not as keen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be enjoying a little time off today, but you have much to accomplish before you can indulge in any real downtime.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Talking with friends and allies may enable you to come up with a solid plan. Before day's end, however, you'll have to put it into motion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may sense that someone is trying to intrude on a situation that is yours and yours alone. You must be ready to mount a strong defense.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself in a competition that you had not anticipated today. You'll have to improvise a bit in order to perform creatively.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to wait for machinery to be repaired or refurbished before you can take advantage of what it has to offer. Is it worth it?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be tempted to do something today that you would normally never even consider doing. The reasons are surely compelling.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will want to be honest with everyone today, even with those who are not, or who have not been, honest with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have come up with a sound strategy, now all you have to do is devise tactics that are just as sound and effective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will want to treat yourself to something nice today, after all is said and done -- maybe to something you've always wanted.

Your Birthday for September 18, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 18th, 2012

Born today, you are not always one to do things in a new or revolutionary way, if for no other reason than you appreciate what others have done before and recognize that if it works, why try to fix it? When you do decide, however, to break with tradition and go your own way with a task or project, you can be sure that your ideas will be original, groundbreaking and rather visionary in scope. Others are sure to observe you at your most creative and wonder how it is possible for you to come up with the things you do -- but that is simply the natural wonder of those who cannot match your creativity.

You can work alone or as a member of a team -- but for maximum effectiveness you must be allowed room to work in your own way, even when you are working with others. In other words, you do not respond well to being limited or restricted in any way.

Also born on this date are: Xzibit, rapper; Lance Armstrong, cyclist; Jada Pinkett Smith, actress; James Gandolfini, actor; Frankie Avalon, actor and singer; Robert Blake, actor; Jack Warden, actor; Greta Garbo, actress.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have some serious work to do today, and the sooner you begin, the sooner you will be securely on the right track.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone you see only rarely is likely to offer you a piece of advice that you simply cannot ignore. He or she knows what you need today!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you don't overstep your bounds, for doing so may actually result in your being stripped of certain key duties.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A major conflict is likely to envelop you at this time if you are not careful to navigate the central issues with great care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can minimize any damage done as a result of a careless error -- then, take the time to figure out how to avoid that same error in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know how you want things to pan out today, but there may be one or two obstacles standing in your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's a good day for making a big statement that will in no way go unheard or be misunderstood. It's time that others listen to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Pay attention to various trends that are developing, as they will indicate to you what adjustments you must make in your own behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Quality control may be a major issue throughout the day; you mustn't put up with anyone who is willing to turn in work that is under par.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll get the answers you want today, but you're going to have to jump through a few hoops before you are truly satisfied.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those who remain calm in moments of stress can teach you a great deal about how to behave in certain situations that are unavoidable today.
