Your Birthday for September 09, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 9th, 2017

Born today, you are not the kind to devote yourself to anything that doesn't mean a great deal to you. You may therefore have exhibited a great deal of boredom and laziness when younger, before you stumbled upon that one thing that lights a fire within you and compels you to work hard to excel. Once you have found your niche, you may prove to be the hardest worker born under a sign known for hard workers! You're likely to maintain a strong sense of self and a very tight and orderly set of principles that guide you no matter where you may go or what you may run into on your journey through life. While you may have been rather aimless in your youth, as you age you may prove to be the very picture of inspiration as you apply yourself to your various endeavors.

Personal relationships may prove rather difficult for you, as you are not the kind to pursue what you want -- or whom you want -- in any aggressive manner whatsoever. You need to receive a clear sign from someone that your interest is requited and your actions will be well received; otherwise, you will simply sit back and wait for a connection that may never be made.

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; Leo Tolstoy, author.

Your Birthday for September 08, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 8th, 2017

Born today, you don't like doing things that others tell you you must do; you don't like doing things because someone says it is the "right" thing to do; and you don't like doing things simply because others have done them before and met with success. All of that means very little to you, for you are such an original that you're not likely to do anything that isn't uniquely your own in virtually every respect. You will make a point of learning as much as you can about what others have done before you in your chosen line of work, but you're not the sort to copy them in any way. Indeed, you study your forebears not to emulate them, but so you can avoid doing anything at all like them! That is how completely original you are.

There are times when you may seem rather outrageous to those who see you only from a distance and who do not know you well, but those in your inner circle would describe you in terms that are much more conservative and down to earth -- for that is what you are like when you are enjoying the comforts of home. You're not a "wild thing" when behind closed doors.

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

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You aren't likely to get everything you feel you deserve, but you can certainly finish the day ahead of the game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A demonstration of skills quite different from your own may have you considering a change that could someday yield an increase in profits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're trying very hard to figure out just who is responsible for what, but this may put you in a vulnerable position. Use extra care.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Whatever is crucial to you is also going to be crucial to others. You may find yourself in a race to the finish line as a result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to put your desires on a back burner or to try to conceal your exceptional knowledge. Step up and make a difference!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may wake to find that you have precious little time available in which to get a certain thing done right. You must make a fast start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Surprising events will have you doing something you never thought you would do -- but there are some who knew you had it in you all along.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone from your past will point you in a certain direction that may prove rewarding to you in the future. Be ready to move swiftly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't have to act as quickly as someone else, but you certainly have to keep him or her in sight as you move carefully along the path.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You and a friend can enjoy working toward a shared goal for a time, but by day's end you may find yourself moving in different directions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know how to follow in another's footsteps without sacrificing your individuality. You can do this with great style.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel as though things are not lining up just right, but as the day comes to a close, you are likely to get your way after all.

Your Birthday for September 07, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 7th, 2017

Born today, you know what is right, you know what is wrong and you know when you have crossed the line from the former to the latter -- and what to do about it when this occurs. Though you are certainly not a hardliner or prudish in any way, you do expect to live your life according to a certain set of principles that have been handed down to you from those who have gone before. You're never likely to forget who they were, what they did and why they are so important to you. You will always have your heritage firmly in mind as you try to break new ground and do new things; you take what has been done before and make it better simply by putting your personal stamp on it. Of course, this stamp is the product of much study and hard work -- you're not the kind to think you can do a thing well without fully applying yourself.

No matter how confident you were in your youth, after a taste of success you're likely to go through at least one period when you want to shake things up a little, to change who you are and what you do. This will be only so successful, for you cannot change completely -- nor would you want to!

Also born on this date are: Buddy Holly, singer; Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain; Shannon Elizabeth, model and actress; Eazy-E, rapper; Jennifer Egan, author; Diane Warren, songwriter; Michael Feinstein, singer and pianist; Corbin Bernsen, actor; Evan Rachel Wood, actress; Toby Jones, actor; Chrissie Hynde, singer; Julie Kavner, actress; Tom Everett Scott, actor; Elia Kazan, director.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are seeing things in a new way -- just when certain negotiations are heating up. You may soon play a very important role.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Are you properly equipped to deal with what you know is coming? You'll have just enough time to ready yourself if you act now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're not in any mood to state things unequivocally. It's important that you have some wiggle room, no matter what transpires.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Events are likely to involve you in ways you had not anticipated. You may find yourself redoing something you first did long ago.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The role you play depends in large part on your ability to think on your feet and maneuver as necessary when circumstances change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Things are likely to become much more fiery than usual after you share a certain opinion with someone who wasn't ready to hear it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Watching someone else do what you could and should be doing can be disheartening, or it can inspire you to get things moving!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are not likely to respond as expected when treated to something that is enjoyed by almost everyone around you. What's wrong?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself between a rock and a hard place as you attempt to make a decision that has been forced upon you by others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Avoid implications as best you can, and try to deal only with what you know to be direct and honest. You want others to come to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are eager to see things come to rest in a way that benefits your home life. Recent decisions have upset things in unusual ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to promote your ideas, but you may not know quite where to start. Someone will emerge from your past to offer help.
