Your Birthday for September 09, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 9th, 2015

Born today, you are a champion for the little guy, one of those individuals who represent all that is grand and heroic in common, everyday people and their endeavors. This is not to suggest, of course, that you are likely to enjoy only ordinary success in your lifetime; on the contrary, you may be destined for greatness! But at the same time, you're not ever likely to forget where you came from, or who your family and friends really are. You will always value everyday people and down-to-earth endeavors over anything that your own success might afford you. You know, too, that nothing lasts forever, so you'll be ready to return to the world of the normal when the time comes.

You have an easy, low-key style that is widely admired. You rarely let your emotions get the better of you, and you are not one to indulge in any sort of behavior that is not tempered by thought, judgment and good manners. You know how to keep things real.

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.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can communicate well, passing on information in a manner that makes it almost immediately accessible and usable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Things are changing in subtle ways, and though you may not have a firm grasp of where they are headed, you know you must get ready.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something will happen to change your attitude about a situation you have been taking for granted. Finally, you can put two and two together.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Additional help comes your way, but you must accept it in a way that allows you to continue at a good pace and according to plan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The path ahead of you may be threatened in some way, but you're ready to face whatever comes -- provided you suffer no physical ills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may require a reminder or two before you are back on track. Information you receive has you making parallel plans very soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Speed is a factor, but take care not to move so quickly that you cannot accurately assess approaching obstacles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be feeling quite stubborn -- and you're likely to meet the proverbial immovable object before all is said and done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're going to be allowed to do something that you've long wanted to try. But don't think this permission is open-ended!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can give someone a gift he or she has been waiting for, but in a form that may not be immediately recognizable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You were expecting yesterday's efforts to pay off more handsomely, but not everything goes according to plan. Make adjustments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's certainly not too late to change your mind. A friend offers something that is more valuable than anticipated.

Your Birthday for September 08, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 8th, 2015

Born today, you are always concerned with the well-being of those around you, and you will work tirelessly to ensure that the less fortunate in your company are treated with respect, dignity and fairness. You are not a believer in any sort of hierarchy; you think that everyone comes from the same place, deserves the same chances and should benefit equally from the same rewards. You are clever and quick to act. You aren't the kind to dig in your heels and refuse to do something that can and should be done; instead, you can be counted on to be first out of the gate, racing headlong toward whatever the desired goal might be. You are daring and, at times, perhaps a little foolhardy.

Your sense of humor is rich and varied -- and, at times, even a little odd. Not everyone sees things your way, of course, and you may find it hard to get others to laugh at the same things you find funny. Still, you would rather see things through a humorous lens and laugh, even if others do not laugh with you.

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

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone else is working on a project similar to your own, but don't let yourself become defensive. It is, in the main, quite different.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be fully recognized for work you put in only yesterday. This is an unintentional oversight, most probably.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The social scene may not have much to offer you, but if you can make someone else happy by tagging along, why not go ahead?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to let a friend have more of you than you've been giving recently. What are you holding on to so jealously? Let yourself go!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have what it takes, but you may not be in the best frame of mind to be as productive as you normally are. Take tasks one at a time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're waiting for news that may quite possibly change everything. Be patient, and don't stop doing what you must do in the meantime.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're not in the mood to follow the rules, but breaking them is certainly out of the question. Maybe you can bend one just a little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may be up to you to come up with a plan that sounds good to everyone, and to implement it in a way that is safe and fair.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not feel emotionally stable, but you're not really in any danger of falling off the tracks at this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You and a friend know that something has to be done about a third party who is well-known to both of you. Use the element of surprise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be ready or willing to give up what is being asked of you, and this is likely to result in a rather serious conflict.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's not that difficult to put your best foot forward, even if you find that you're not in the best of all possible moods!

Your Birthday for September 07, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 7th, 2015

Born today, you are rather reserved and isolated, one of those individuals whose energies are most often directed inward, giving you a full, rich and vibrant emotional life that is not always reflected outwardly. You may learn to compensate for this, however, with behavior that is far more extroverted even though you will never genuinely become such an outward person. Still, circumstances may demand that you move in public circles either socially or professionally -- or, more likely, both -- and you will do well, though it will always take extra effort on your part to do so successfully. You are, deep down, a fiercely private individual.

You have a great deal of moral strength and courage, and when your own beliefs differ from those of the crowd, you will stand firm, confident that your way is the right way -- at least for you. You're not the kind to let the winds of change affect you in any serious, ideological way.

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

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be able to assess a strange situation in a way that is helpful to others as well as yourself. Some things come naturally!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your pessimistic attitude about something you cannot avoid is only keeping you from seeing the positive side of it. Lighten up!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have several more options today than you did yesterday. Someone close to you knows just what magic has been done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're after something that someone else isn't going to want to give you, but after some careful negotiation, you may well be satisfied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can cope with the stress resulting from an unavoidable situation as long as you remember to keep your primary goal firmly in mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A warning is received, but you may have to go in search of further information to secure your safety.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to strategize very carefully in order to be fully prepared for a challenge that is soon to come your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in no mood for anything meaningless, no matter how much fun it may be. Today, it's important to make the right choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know how to ease tensions, but you also know that you may first need to raise them in order to be most effective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself apologizing for something that you didn't do. This isn't the end of this particular issue!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone who isn't fully aware of your potential is likely to make a mistake that has you springing into action almost immediately.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have something to celebrate, but not everyone will be in a festive mood, mainly because of something you recently said or did.
