Your Birthday for September 03, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 3rd, 2014

Born today, you are often very hard to pin down. This means that others had better be ready to react in any number of ways to the things that you do, for those things are not likely to align completely with any given point of view, agenda or expectation. There are some who would call you a loose cannon, and that term can certainly be applied to you in moments of stress. When the heat is turned up and things become complex and contentious, you can be wholly unpredictable, mercurial or even downright dangerous! You might want to choose a line of work that allows you a great deal of personal freedom, for like many Virgo natives, you don't like to be tied down.

When it comes to your closest relationships, you may at times ask a great deal -- so much, in fact, that few are likely to maintain a coveted spot within your inner circle as many will tire of your unusual, unpredictable ways. What they don't know, however, is that you are fiercely loyal, in spite of it all.

Also born on this date are: Charlie Sheen, actor; Shaun White, Olympic snowboarder; Ferdinand Porsche, engineer; Alan Ladd, actor; Valerie Perrine, actress; Eileen Brennan, actress.

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.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The advice you've been getting lately may seem contradictory, but not when you look at it closely and examine hidden meanings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be unaware of what lies ahead, but you do sense that whatever it is may change you profoundly -- and perhaps only temporarily.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you're not putting all your eggs into one basket today. Diversify to ensure that something, if not everything, will pay off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know what is required of you, and you feel as though you are somehow getting the short end of a deal you have worked hard to strike.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Include those around you as you consider your next move. Don't neglect anyone who has been helpful to you in the recent past. Be creative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You needn't talk openly about everything that you are feeling, but you'll want to share certain impressions that are truly relevant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to be surprised by another's willingness to go along for the ride. He or she adds a lot to the proceedings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Don't let your own insecurity rub off on another. You have signed on to protect him or her, and you must do so in every way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can make a smooth transition from what was all-consuming to something else that will soon take up just as much thought and time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll receive some assistance from someone who originally blazed the trail you are currently on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- When you've completed all tasks scheduled for the day, you should call it a day and focus on something fun and recreational for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can sow seeds that will eventually grow into something big, beautiful and memorable. Your timing must be right, however.

Your Birthday for September 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 2nd, 2014

Born today, you are defined by limitations, but you are able to turn this to your advantage more often than not. You understand and appreciate just what you are and are not capable of. By sticking to what you know, what you do well, and what is squarely within your comfort zone, you are sure to make a considerable success of life -- professionally, personally and recreationally. You love to play, and you will do anything to see that the career you choose allows you the freedom to play; you're not the kind to be chained to a desk all day, surely! When you become unhappy and glum, you need only to turn to your current circumstances to find the cause. You're not difficult to figure out in that way.

There may come a time in your life when you are tempted to hang it up and do something else -- but what? When this happens, you must not make the mistake of thinking that anything else will bring you contentment, for that is not the case -- and you should think twice before making a permanent change.

Also born on this date are: Mark Harmon, actor; Salma Hayek, actress; Keanu Reeves, actor; Terry Bradshaw, football player and commentator; Christa McAuliffe, teacher and astronaut; Jimmy Connors, tennis player; Linda Purl, actress; Billy Preston, singer and musician.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're fine-tuning a project that you have been working on for quite some time. Now you're eager to see if that work will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be feeling like a second-class citizen because of the treatment of someone in a position of authority. You needn't take it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can provide much that will exceed the expectations of those who have solicited your help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may be more interested in what you are saying than you are, and you have every reason to be guarded when night is approaching.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting to hear what someone else has decided. Don't let yourself be put at a disadvantage because you've had to be idle for too long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to consider several issues that were never all that important to you in the past. Today is different in many interesting ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are getting started on something that can prove quite interesting to others in little time -- but much depends on how you spin it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You cannot be certain about everything, but one thing in particular will make you feel confident and capable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Mind your manners. Keep doing things in the right way -- and in the right order. Follow the rules, and you'll be rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The right questions yield the right answers, but coming up with them in the first place may require a great deal of consideration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you have to say can be put directly, or you can follow a winding, indirect course of logic and persuasion. You know which is right!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If you're given a choice between what is easy and what will last, you will soon realize that it's not a choice at all. Think long term!

Your Birthday for September 01, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 1st, 2014

Born today, you are likely to know much, but no one can know it all. You must always guard against saying or doing anything that might suggest to others that you are capable of more than you actually are. Having your two feet solidly on the ground is essential for you; once you lose the stability of a firm footing, you risk much -- personally and professionally. You seem to understand how the world works, at least on a basic level, and this will give you a certain advantage in life. But again, you mustn't make the mistake of thinking that this knowledge will see you through every situation, for this is not the case. Danger can be extreme when you find yourself in over your head.

You have a vivid imagination, but you do not always apply it in practical ways. Indeed, when it comes to your own life, you can be quite dull in your thinking at times! You are often able to think outside the box when talking about another's affairs, but not when it comes to examining your own.

Also born on this date are: Dr. Phil McGraw, TV personality; Gloria Estefan, singer; Conway Twitty, singer; Rocky Marciano, boxer; Barry Gibb, singer; Lily Tomlin, actress; Yvonne De Carlo, actress; Padma Lakshmi, actress and TV personality; Edgar Rice Burroughs, author; Alan Dershowitz, lawyer; James Rebhorn, actor.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A certain key decision is worth examining. You may realize -- again -- that with the good comes the bad, and vice versa.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you're dealing in absolutes today, you're dealing in that which is only imaginary. Nothing is absolute, one way or the other.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be compelled to look closely at something that is usually taken for granted. A loved one holds up a mirror in which you see yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The meaning of a rather cryptic message is likely to be quite clear to you almost immediately. It's up to you to spread the word to others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone may be treating you in a manner that you feel is completely undeserved, so why are you willing to take it? It's time to speak up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The decisions you make today aren't likely to be long-term in reach, but you must take them just as seriously, nonetheless.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An obstacle requires more than you are ready to give in order to overcome it. Take some time to prepare fully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Time may seem to speed up and slow down as if by magic, but it is all your own perception, of course. What is making the difference?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A job well done doesn't mean that you have fulfilled all your responsibilities to one who is truly relying on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can make a game out of almost anything, but today you will be required to think long and hard about what you are trying to accomplish.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is no time to feel sorry for yourself, even if things are harder than expected and a certain problem goes unsolved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A strong start puts you ahead of the game, which is good in both the short and the long term. You can use any advantage you get at this time.
