Your Birthday for September 04, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 4th, 2013

Born today, you are a fiercely determined individual, and you are likely to pursue a single line of endeavor from an early age. Indeed, once you decide what you want to do with your life -- or put more simply, "what you want to be when you grow up" -- you are not likely to change your mind, no matter what kind of challenges or hardships you encounter as a result. Further, it is not likely that you will pick something easy for yourself; you thrive on hard work, and you feel you are not putting your talents to the best possible use if you are not overcoming obstacles, learning hard lessons and really putting it all on the line.

Money is likely to be a major factor in your decision-making process. Though you may well amass quite a fortune through a combination of hard work and discipline, making more money than you can spend is not really your primary goal. Being able to have what you want, when you want it, however, is always attractive to you!

Also born on this date are: Beyonce Knowles, singer; Ione Skye, actress; Phill Lewis, actor; Mike Piazza, baseball player; Damon Wayans, actor and comedian; Tom Watson, golfer; Mitzi Gaynor, actress, singer, dancer; Paul Harvey, news commentator; Richard Wright, author.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll feel a certain gravitational pull when a member of the opposite sex arrives on the scene. Self-control is essential!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can offer the last word regarding a topic that has been argued back and forth for some time. Your reasoning is unassailable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day to trust your instincts, but no matter what your instincts lead you to, there are certain situations that require good manners.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A change of scene works wonders for your mood and your productivity. See if you can't adjust further to suit another's needs.

Your Birthday for September 03, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 3rd, 2013

Born today, you are not always easy to pin down. In other words, you are often so mercurial and inconsistent that it is difficult even for those who know you best to label you as one thing or another. Indeed, though you might appear to be one thing at one moment, you can turn right around and act in a completely different way the next -- surprising others and, at times, causing them to shake their heads in disbelief. You must take care that you never rub anyone the wrong way so much that he or she turns away from you for good. There are times when this may be a very real danger.

What you do and say is likely to be remembered by many, and this may well secure you a place in history. Not everything you accomplish is likely to be on a grand scale, however, so you must learn to find satisfaction in accomplishments that are small, subtle and highly nuanced. Try too hard, and you may well fall on your face.

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

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Minute adjustments can yield major rewards, but take care that you don't get lost in the details. The big picture matters, too!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can't overlook the way things seem to others. Do what you can to allay fears by saying and doing only exactly what you mean.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good time to take a little time for yourself and family members. A gentle reminder of what is most important comes just in time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be more difficult to get your horse out of the gate today than it will be to go the distance once the race is underway.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll discover a great many things that could use your personal touch today. Others are more than willing to let you do what you will.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be able to get a great deal done while you are waiting to do something else. The timetable is more flexible than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You and a friend may be suffering from a misconception that arises from faulty timing. You may have to stand in for another.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be given liberty to do things in your own unusual way, but there are certainly liberties that even you won't want to take.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're likely to get a flat refusal in response to your request for a favor. The reasons are complex, and they may elude you for the time being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A new phase is beginning, but you will want to approach it slowly and subtly rather than jumping in with both feet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Getting everything to work together will be something of a balancing act, and it will be up to you to adjust the dials and knobs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a way of sneaking up on others so that they aren't fully prepared for all you have to offer. It's a glorious surprise!

Your Birthday for September 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 2nd, 2013

Born today, you try your best to be all things to all people, yet even as you attempt this virtually impossible feat, you know that you can never truly succeed at it. It gives you great contentment to know that as you travel through life doing your best to avoid conflict while promoting harmony and good will, you achieve a rare kind of cooperation and communication with all you encounter. You are a strong, visionary individual, and you do your best to project what you value in life by being an example to others. Once you commit to something, you do your best to complete it.

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.

You are eager to do for others what others do for you, but you can sometimes be rather vindictive when you feel you are wronged. You believe that one good turn deserves another, but when good is replaced by something bad, you want nothing to do with it, and you will sometimes lash out against any offender.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to find inspiration in an unusual and unexpected development. It's time to ride a growing wave of excitement.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is no place for any belligerent behavior. Quell any impulses that would bring you face to face with one who misunderstands you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to redirect your energies in order to take full advantage of the circumstances you find yourself in today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not fully understand what you are being told to do, but you can use your instincts and initiative to good effect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What appears to loom before you may be something of an illusion -- to others it is nothing to worry about. Your mind will clear very soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The beginning of a new adventure is just around the corner, but you must be sure to prepare yourself fully -- physically and emotionally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find that some parts of you are not working at peak efficiency right now, but you can come up with a few quick fixes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to be last, but neither do you want to be first -- for reasons that are peculiarly your own. The middle is best!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An interchange with a rival brings you closer to a personal goal -- and has you both realizing that you have much in common.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Never mind what others tell you, it's important for you to discover certain inevitable truths on your own. Explore!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to stop and start more than once before picking up speed. Once momentum builds, you can make some real headway.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Don't let another's peculiar fashion sense affect you; wear what you want to wear, no matter how you may look to others!
