Your Birthday for September 15, 2016

Your Birthday | September 15th, 2016

Born today, you know the dangers of trying to do too much too soon. You are always willing to take a step back and assess your standing and progress before moving forward into the great unknown of a new endeavor. You have been endowed with tremendous skill, keen instincts and perhaps even a valuable pedigree. Indeed, you may well start out much better off in life than those who have to make their own opportunities at the very beginning. This will certainly be an advantage to you, but it can also be a liability: You may not have a full understanding of the importance of personal struggle and hardship in the development of resolve and commitment. Cultivate this kind of understanding, and the world can be your oyster.

You know how to mix and mingle, how to speak with authority and ease on a wide variety of topics, and how to open doors with a smile. Still, you must never rely solely upon your social skills or native charm. You must develop all of your talents and abilities if you want to fulfill your true destiny -- professionally, if not personally.

Also born on this date are: Prince Harry of Great Britain; Tommy Lee Jones, actor; Marco Polo, explorer; Dan Marino, football player; Agatha Christie, author; Oliver Stone, filmmaker; Heidi Montag, actress; William Howard Taft, U.S. president; Gaylord Perry, baseball player; Merlin Olsen, football player and actor; Nipsey Russell, actor; Danny Nucci, actor; Jackie Cooper, actor; Fay Wray, actress; Josh Charles, actor; Tom Hardy, actor.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're interested in doing something a little bit fancy for yourself -- even though you know you're going to have to pay a pretty price.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Though you may have heard rumors to the contrary, you're likely to enjoy a boost as events transpire to increase your chances of success.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The trick is not choosing what to say, but choosing what NOT to say. Judicious editing is not the same as self-censorship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your perspective is one that takes in possibilities for everyone around you. Others can learn something from you, so share liberally!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You won't be able to enjoy a completely smooth ride, as someone traveling with you has a few surprises up his or her sleeve. Be ready!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to see yourself advance in a new situation -- though there is more going on than work, and you mustn't neglect issues at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A sacrifice on your part needn't leave you holding the bag. Indeed, you're likely to come out ahead when all is said and done.

Your Birthday for September 14, 2016

Your Birthday | September 14th, 2016

Born today, you are no stranger to hardship and adversity. Indeed, there may be times when you seem to attract them! You crave experience of all kinds, and you are always willing to face the challenges that are most difficult if you feel that you will either learn from them or benefit in a tangible way -- if possible, both! You long for the time when you can look back on earlier days and consider yourself lucky to have come so far -- but you will know better than anyone else that luck had very little to do with your eventual success. You are tenacious, hardworking and just a little ruthless; you will do almost anything to make the most out of an opportunity.

You think that success is one of the most irresistible and effective aphrodisiacs, and you are drawn to those who appear strong, confident and capable. When it comes to love, you certainly know how to please, and this aptitude will make you a very special partner to anyone who has the good fortune to be with you for any length of time.

Also born on this date are: Amy Winehouse, singer; Michael Crabtree, football player; Sam Neill, actor; Clayton Moore, actor; Walter Koenig, actor; Faith Ford, actress; Margaret Sanger, civil rights leader; Jon "Bowzer" Bauman, singer and actor; Melissa Leo, actress.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It may take considerable bravery to tell someone something you've waited months or even years to reveal. Today's the day!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're after more stability than you have ever enjoyed. A loved one knows what you need to make this a reality -- and comes through!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Step outside your door, and you're likely to be confronted with choices that you're not yet prepared to make. You'll have to educate yourself!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You mustn't let anyone separate you from your money without knowing exactly what you're going to get for every penny you spend!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some may tell you that opportunity is expensive, but you can uncover a few bargains as you make alterations to your personal life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not about to follow orders, no matter who gives them. You want to do things your way, or not at all. This may be dangerous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must strive for relaxation and harmony, though some may come at you with guns blazing, for reasons you do not understand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've had enough of those who want you to do things their way without any consideration for what you really need. Draw the line!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- This is a good day to take a stand, even if your position may be an unpopular one. You have to listen to your own conscience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Despite the validity of your views or your position, some may simply choose not to get on board. A good friend is with you, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can accomplish many things, but perhaps the most important will be those that other people do not even notice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have been quite patient waiting for someone else to catch up with you, but that patience may soon wear quite thin.

Your Birthday for September 13, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 13th, 2016

Born today, you are one of the most loyal and reliable individuals born under your sign, but there may be some who do not respond to this as you would wish. They are your "target audience" in life, those whom you must reach out to and influence in some way in order to win their admiration and, eventually, their commitment to whatever cause you are striving to support. You understand that you must work hard to impress those who are resistant to your charms, for they are the ones who have it within their power to make a big difference in your life.

There is a danger inherent in this, however, and you must always strive to avoid it: You cannot afford to drift too far from your core, to stray from the real you as you attempt to mix and mingle with those who have bigger names than yours. You must always remain true to yourself, your ideals and your heritage.

Also born on this date are: Roald Dahl, author; Milton S. Hershey, entrepreneur; Ben Savage, actor; Fiona Apple, singer; Stella McCartney, designer; Michael Johnson, Olympic athlete; Jacqueline Bisset, actress; Nell Carter, actress and singer; Claudette Colbert, actress; Yma Sumac, singer; Mel Torme, singer and actor; Bela Karolyi, gymnastics coach; Anne Geddes, photographer.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't think that because you're being recognized for what you've done that you can stop doing it. You've only just begun!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll feel the influence of someone who seems to know better, but you'll soon realize that your way is the best way for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Any assumptions you make about the possibilities that lie before you may fall short when put to the test. It's time to get the facts!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can get your work done in record time, leaving you with a few extra moments in which to address an issue that has been sneaking up on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can better yourself both inside and out -- particularly if you engage directly with a certain friend who knows you better than most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Working closely with those you know well can surely benefit everyone involved, but working with someone new can lead to a major discovery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be surprised to learn something about yourself that many have already known for quite a while. Forward motion picks up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're ready to take a certain risk at last, but someone who has your back is likely to raise objections. Your reasoning is sound.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must take care not to squander any resources. Try to conserve; spend only what you absolutely must.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something you think about a lot is likely to become much more than theoretical before this surprising day is out. Be ready for anything!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may feel as though you are being blown about, willy-nilly, by the winds of fate. In truth, you are shaping your own destiny.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're looking for something extraordinary, and you're likely to meet someone who makes things much more interesting for you.
