Born today, you may not be recognized for your excellent contributions to the world until long after they have been made, but you should be able to maintain your overall confidence and positive outlook anyway. When you are finally acknowledged for all that you have done, it may spur a renaissance of sorts for you -- personally or professionally -- and you may find yourself bursting onto the scene to take the world by storm once more. You know how to work harder than most, and you also know how to enjoy hard work -- from the moment you rise to the moment you retire at the end of the day. Indeed, you wouldn't want things to come easily to you, as you wouldn't believe that you are truly worthy of such rewards. You want to earn what you get throughout your lifetime.

You have numerous personal assets that are likely to bring you a great deal of attention and admiration, but you're not the kind to take any sort of adulation very seriously. You know how fickle the public can be, and while you will take the accolades that come your way, you won't be too mournful if and when they cease.

Also born on this date are: Freddie Mercury, singer; Michael Keaton, actor; Rose McGowan, actress; Raquel Welch, actress; Bob Newhart, actor and comedian; George Lazenby, actor; John Cage, composer; Jesse James, outlaw; Cathy Guisewite, cartoonist; Dweezil Zappa, actor and musician; Chip Davis, musician; Werner Herzog, filmmaker; William Devane, actor; King Louis XIV of France.

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 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You don't want to be dealing in falsehoods. Take care that no one is able to get the better of you by bending the truth at all.

Born today, you are a highly creative individual, and you have been driven to excel from an early age -- with your first notion of what was possible for you in life, both personally and professionally. You're not the kind to fear failure; indeed, you understand that you are going to fall short of the mark many times in your pursuit of excellence. What you also understand, however, is that when you get it right, it's likely to be recognized as top-notch by most who have the privilege of observing your work. When you put your stamp on a thing, that stamp is sure to be recognized as a mark of excellence. You have many talents in many different areas, but it may be quite clear to you from childhood just what you want to do with yourself and those talents, and what goals you wish to reach in life.

You're not about to sacrifice personal contentment for professional success. You will always want to be happy in your home life while you work hard to get to and remain at the top professionally. This will take some careful balancing, but it's something you can surely do -- and others will certainly see you as a role model.

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; Mark Ronson, DJ and producer; John DiMaggio, voice actor; Max Greenfield, actor; Mike Piazza, baseball player; Khandi Alexander, actress and choreographer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The difference between what you want and what you need will become clear to you before the day is out. Don't deny yourself the essentials.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to set aside your own work in order to help someone who is in dire straits. This crisis can be solved quickly, however.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be shown something that will affect you in a far more personal way than anyone might have anticipated. A new phase is beginning.

Your Birthday for September 03, 2017

Born today, you are a team player at heart, but there may be times in your life when you stray from a social lifestyle and let yourself indulge in more solitary pursuits. Is this good for you? It is neither good nor bad, inherently, but the decisions you make will determine whether you are engaging in something self-destructive or not. As in all things, you can choose the good or the bad that comes with virtually every opportunity; the difficulty is that you're not likely to know which is which until the decision has been made and going back is impossible. Fortunately, you have been endowed with tremendous inner strength and staying power; you are able to stick with a thing, for better or worse, until you have opened doors to new and ever more exciting opportunities.

You are not always quick to learn from what happens to you; there are times when you will have to relive an experience more than once before you are able to make the right choices for yourself and those under your care. Once you have seen the light, however, you are not likely to repeat yourself. Instead, you will continue to do only what is good 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; Malcolm Gladwell, journalist and author; Nick Wechsler, actor; Costas Mandylor, actor; Kitty Carlisle, actress and television personality.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know just where you stand on certain key issues, but others may consider that stance to be soft in some respects. You'll prove otherwise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't want anyone to think that you are engaging in certain activities simply for personal gain -- but that may well be the truth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An error from long ago will come back to haunt you -- but not for long. As a result, you'll think twice about taking certain actions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your strong feelings may be cause for concern as you try to set forth on a journey that requires a great deal of objectivity at the start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A personal discovery has you thinking that maybe, just maybe, you can do that one thing you've been dreaming of for quite some time. Try it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This is a fine day to finish what you started just yesterday. Something so important needn't last forever, as you well know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It may be time to put away certain toys -- if not for good, then certainly for the duration of the phase in which you now find yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Time and wisdom go hand in hand. The more you have of the first, the more you will gain of the second. Your thought process is unique.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be waiting until the last minute to address an issue that could prove to be a major sticking point. Your confidence is high.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What is so apparent to another may not be at all clear to you -- or vice versa -- and this development makes certain interactions difficult.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you are planning may not be entirely conventional, but perhaps it can serve to shake things up in just the right way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to hear both "yes" and "no" -- each from a different source. Can you get them to meet in the middle and compromise?
