Your Birthday for September 09, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 9th, 2014

Born today, you know how to combine the real and the unreal in ways that are sure to give you the competitive edge in almost every endeavor. What is most remarkable is that you are always able to keep your feet on the ground while letting your imagination soar to ever greater heights. You are nothing if not grounded, but this never stops you from engaging in flights of fancy. From those flights come possibilities that can lead you directly to new successes and accomplishments, both personal and professional. You have a great many skills, but you do not always want to be the one doing the things you think of; you'd prefer to be the brains of the operation.

You don't always keep mum when you should, and there will be times when you reveal a bit too much about yourself or what you are doing. As a result, you may be threatened now and then by rivals who see you as vulnerable and use the information you share to get the better of you.

Also born on this date are: Adam Sandler, actor and comedian; Michelle Williams, actress; Hugh Grant, actor; Colonel Harlan Sanders, fried chicken mogul; Tom Wopat, actor; Otis Redding, singer; Cliff Robertson, actor; Rachel Hunter, model; Henry Thomas, actor; Goran Visnjic, actor; Joe Theismann, football player.

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 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can share your thoughts more openly than you have in the past, provided you choose your words with care!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone far from home still has a profound influence over you. Today, you will feel it more strongly than you have at any recent time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day to explore options that might not all be available to you; you never know when things will change and doors will be opened!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be able to shake a certain melancholy, but perhaps you can use it to your advantage in a creative way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Proceed cautiously during morning hours. Later on, you'll be able to move forward more aggressively, but only if you heed certain warnings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not the only one who will respond emotionally to a certain piece of news. It's a good time to think in terms of community.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to hear what others have to say about a recent endeavor, though perhaps you are afraid that some will be too critical.

Your Birthday for September 08, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 8th, 2014

Born today, you are quick to formulate ideas, plans, and proposals, and even quicker to get them on their feet! You are never satisfied by sitting back and waiting for things to happen to you; rather, you want to be a mover and a shaker, one of those people who influence the world around them, and are not merely influenced by it. You may have to struggle during your early years to find your niche, not so much because you find it difficult to identify your particular interests, but because you have so many to begin with that it will be nearly impossible to explore them all and narrow the field to those that are most likely to bring you success. You are led by your heart as much as by your head.

You don't always subscribe to the kind of happiness and contentment that motivates others; indeed, you are often after personal joys that are quite difficult to define -- and even more difficult for others to explain or understand. Still, you will pursue your own unique needs and desires, undaunted.

Also born on this date are: Pink, singer; Martin Freeman, actor; Jonathan Taylor Thomas, actor; Patsy Cline, singer; Brooke Burke, actress and TV personality; David Arquette, actor; Sid Caesar, actor and comedian; Heather Thomas, actress; Peter Sellers, actor; Antonin Dvorak, composer; Joshua Chamberlain, educator and military leader.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your efforts are more effective if you involve those who share your outlook. Solo work can only be so successful right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be ready to sever that which ties you to another. Focus on the good things, and you'll realize that all can be well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been going back and forth about a certain issue that refuses to dissipate. Today, you'll make a decision that you think is final.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't want to let others know what you're thinking, but if you don't share with someone, your whole process is in vain.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Those who admire you are likely to do something for you that comes as a complete surprise -- as may their depth of genuine feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to look underneath the surface for the truth that will set you free -- at least for the time being.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- He or she who holds the key to a personal mystery may prove rather stubborn as you try to get the whole thing unlocked for yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone who is more distant than expected may not be aware of the harm he or she is causing you at this time. Speak up, by all means!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've set limits for yourself, but you aren't completely ready to observe them faithfully. You still have some work to do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A friend or loved one may be feeling as though you have been taking the relationship for granted lately. It's time to get things in order.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may realize that you've been under the influence of one who is not always good for you. You can begin making changes right now.

Your Birthday for September 07, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 7th, 2014

Born today, you seem to be wholly normal, but there is an aspect of your complex personality that, when stimulated, causes you to do and say things that others would never expect you to do or say. The results can be hilarious, productive and profitable, or simply unacceptable and in bad taste. You can never really be sure, either, which it's going to be, so you must always have plans in the works for undoing any damage that results from your unusual behavior and for maximizing the good that results when you are in sync with the rest of the world. You are not to be feared in any way, but not everyone knows that, and the unpredictable can be fearful to some.

You are likely to be the center of attention on many occasions. Others are sure to wonder what it is really like to be you, but you are far less enthralled by who you are than anyone else, and the thought that you are admired or imitated only makes you laugh. You know just how down-to-earth and ordinary you can really be.

Also born on this date are: Buddy Holly, singer; Queen Elizabeth I of England and Ireland; Corbin Bernsen, actor; Evan Rachel Wood, actress; Toby Jones, actor; Chrissie Hynde, singer; Julie Kavner, actress; Tom Everett Scott, actor; Elia Kazan, filmmaker.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are hungry for something that only a certain someone can provide. Now may not be the time to ask for it, however.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must resist the temptation to get on your soapbox and regale those around you with opinions and pontifications. Play it cool.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel as though someone has tried to keep you in the dark intentionally, but this is not the case. You can lift the veil.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are eager to share your opinions with others, yet others may not be eager to hear them. A careful balance must be sought.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can acquit yourself well when doing what does not come naturally. Every now and then, it's good for you to think outside the box.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to uncover something that makes a big difference to you when you are able to apply it to your current circumstances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A lighthearted approach, though recommended and embraced by others, will not be as easy as usual because of the prevailing tone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you have matters to you more than it has in the recent past. Developments seem to suggest a change of sorts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're facing a decision that others consider a no-brainer, but there are reasons for you to think about your options carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are able to assist someone who is close to the end of an important personal journey. You'll receive thanks -- in kind, perhaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The truth is something that you are not overly concerned with, thinking that it will take care of itself. You may be wrong, however.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A personal goal remains prominent in your mind, even as you let yourself become enthralled with something or someone else.
