Born today, you are likely to experience so many highs in your life that it may seem impossible to have ever been at a low point at all, but the fact remains that you may spend a great deal of time and energy through the years keeping yourself from succumbing to the blues. You are prone to darker moods that can threaten your happiness, progress and eventual success in life. It is essential that you learn how to combat such moods and focus as much as possible on the good in life: the potential, the yearnings and loves that really define you. Only in that way can you make the most of what you have been endowed with by the stars and take advantage of the opportunities that life offers up, both personally and professionally. You can surely do this, but it will require continual effort. In this, you are no different from anyone else.

You know how to attract others into your orbit with your tremendous personal power -- and once you have them there, you keep them there. You inspire loyalty and hard work, but you also know how to teach others to be at their best in all things. Because excellence is the only real choice for you, it becomes the only real choice for those around you, as well.

Also born on this date are: Beyonce Knowles, singer; Wes Bentley, actor; Mitzi Gaynor, actress; Dick York, actor; Tom Watson, golfer; Ione Skye, actress; Damon Wayans, actor and comedian; Max Greenfield, actor.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- After a long time, you're ready to accept the fact that you're not a part of the team anymore -- or are you? Maybe your role has simply changed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're working with someone who knows how to get things done, but he or she can learn a lot from you about how to treat people in the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once you see how a certain issue has fallen out among your friends, you'll realize exactly what has been going on behind the scenes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There's no time like the present to deal with major issues that are not going to go away. Don't procrastinate another day!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A domestic upset has you considering an option that only yesterday would never have been on the table at all. Much seems to have changed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A minor squabble turns into something that you need to work hard to control. Not everyone is reacting in an unexpected manner.

Your Birthday for September 03, 2016

Born today, you are not always able to control your appetites, desires, compulsions and yearnings, and there are times when yielding to them can bring you face to face with very real danger -- but there is something exciting to you about dangling from a metaphorical cliff, especially when you have put yourself in that position. You seem to be quite fearless, and your behavior in high-risk situations is often bold and aggressive, where others would be far more cautious -- but that's how you live your life. You like to dance on a very high ledge and challenge fate by doing what others would never do. There is a method to your madness, however: In taking such risks, you are striving to be the best that you can be.

When it comes to love, you are a complicated individual indeed, for you do not force yourself into any accepted mode of behavior. At the same time, you expect others to satisfy you in certain ways that you dictate quite clearly. Some may think this is unfair -- but then, they are clearly not for you.

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; Garrett Hedlund, actor.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A friend's promise remains in your heart and mind even as you realize that much has changed that may prevent it from being kept.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can offer assistance all you want, but as long as a certain friend doesn't want to accept it, there is little you can do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may choose to invite someone to take part in a project you know you cannot complete entirely on your own. He or she can open doors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can fix a problem that others have been working on for quite some time with little or no luck. What do you have that they don't?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can face almost any situation with a positive outlook and good humor. When you feel threatened directly, however, all that may change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The skills you demonstrate can win you a great deal of admiration from others, but you won't derail a rival's competitive designs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A reunion of sorts is in the offing. You must be ready to talk about things you have wanted to avoid for quite some time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can do much to honor someone important to you without attracting any undue attention to yourself. A tradition is in the making.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself facing down a major threat before the day is out. You have what it takes to hang on and do what must be done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're at a crossroads of sorts, and you must be sure that you know where you've been before you can think about where you are going.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will have chances to experiment in a number of ways, but a friend may warn you about a danger you don't yet recognize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone you know is on a roll, and you mustn't stand in his or her way. The outcome will tell you much about your immediate prospects.

Your Birthday |

Born today, you may not always be the best, but you are likely to enjoy a long and lucrative career that sees you rubbing elbows with people of every caliber on your way up the ladder. From each of them, you will learn a great deal about yourself, your work and the world at large. Indeed, you are more interested in what you can learn from your work than any sort of tangible reward it may offer -- though you are perfectly happy to take any rewards that come your way! You like to be involved with projects that seem important -- either within your field or to the world on a larger scale -- and you will always do everything you can to apply yourself fully, heart and soul, to ensure that you are supporting the team. Collaboration, to you, is what it's all about. You're not really into solo efforts.

You feel compelled to reach as far as you can to challenge yourself both professionally and personally. You recognize your limits, and while you accept them, you will never simply sit stagnant and let those limits control you. You will even try many things you are sure you cannot do -- if only for the fun of it!

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just when you thought you would enjoy smooth sailing ahead, clouds appear on the horizon as a result of a recent misunderstanding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is a good day to consider altering your approach at home, as family members are expressing dissatisfaction in a new way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to be content with watching from the sidelines -- and why not? What happens on the playing field should be quite entertaining!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Though you're unlikely to ask for help, it is available to you should you need it. It's important that you maintain your autonomy, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to face a critic who clearly doesn't understand what you've been up to. Set the record straight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be targeted by someone who has been gaining on you for some time. A face-off is likely to result. Don't tip your hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A meeting of the minds is in order, but you may have trouble collecting everyone under one roof. Make clear what's at stake.
