Your Birthday for September 19, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 19th, 2018

Born today, you always have your eyes on what is going on around you, not so much out of self-preservation, but more out of curiosity. For it's true: You cannot resist sharing with others what you think about the world and what happens in it. You are likely to acquire a great deal of knowledge in your lifetime, not because you are studious but because you are observant. While you never feel the need to be at the center of everything, you get a great deal of enjoyment -- and, if you play your cards right, profit -- out of remaining at the periphery, doing what you can to keep the wheels turning and provide others with input, perspective and humor.

You can be something of sensualist, and you enjoy indulging in the best of everything -- when you can afford it. You're not irresponsible with your resources; you know how to save, and you demonstrate a great deal of fiscal responsibility. To you, $1 can have as much value as $10 -- it all depends on the prevailing circumstances.

Also born on this date are: Jimmy Fallon, late night TV host; Adam West, actor; David McCallum, actor; Jeremy Irons, actor; Trisha Yearwood, singer; Daniel Lanois, musician; Michael Symon, chef; "Mama" Cass Elliot, singer; James Lipton, producer and interviewer; Twiggy, model.

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 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are likely to be envious of the kinds of things that you've been enjoying lately. Why not share what you have with those around you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be frustrated with the same old things happening according to the same familiar schedule. You want to shake things up!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The questions you ask yourself are far more important today than any that others ask of you. You know what is most important to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself farther down a rather dangerous path than you had ever intended to go. Is this the point of no return?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are likely to impress someone who is in charge, but you mustn't be overly confident in your assessment of the situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been keeping a certain secret for far too long, and it's now getting in the way of a key relationship. It's time to tell all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can look back and see where you've been, or you can look forward and decide where you are going. You know which is the right choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don't overcomplicate things today by using more words than necessary to get a certain message across. Be honest and straightforward.

Your Birthday for September 18, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 18th, 2018

Born today, you are a strong-willed individual who has the advantage in almost every situation because you have been endowed with tremendous confidence and self-knowledge. You are perfectly comfortable in your skin. You set your sights on goals that are possible, and you go after them in a single-minded fashion. You are unwilling to give up on something until you are certain that success is impossible -- but this is very rare for you. You know what you like, and you're not one to change your mind simply to "fit in" with others. What other people think and say has very little impact on you.

You are physically attractive, but what holds most people in thrall is your mental capacity -- for you are far sharper, intellectually, than most other people. Your mind is always clicking away, working on some problem or another, or simply collecting more information on the staggering array of topics that genuinely interest you.

Also born on this date are: Ronaldo, soccer player; Jada Pinkett Smith, actress; Lance Armstrong, cyclist; James Gandolfini, actor; James Marsden, actor; Frankie Avalon, actor; Greta Garbo, actress; Dee Dee Ramone, bassist; Fred Willard, actor.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Once you get the ball rolling today you can trust others to keep it in play. You can't be expected to do everything -- now or ever!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- In the interest of fairness you'll want to reveal something about yourself before you engage in any kind of competition with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be able to see things more clearly if you get away from the problem you face. Be as objective as possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't want to attract any more attention today than you already have -- but it's likely what you do will be irresistible to some.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't allow yourself to become stressed about what lies ahead -- especially where competition is concerned. Relax!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can put a few finishing touches on a project you've been working on for quite some time. By day's end, your efforts will be most appreciated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're after a few of the "good" things that are available to you at this time, but first there are a few hoops you must jump through today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be able to make your mark today in more ways than one. Those who have been critical of you in the past may actually change their tune.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't want to trust your memory -- or anyone else's -- when it comes to a central issue. Be sure to write things down today!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may want to schedule a face-to-face talk with someone who is difficult to interpret via any other mode of communication.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Little you do is likely to change how things will come out -- but you're likely to be satisfied with much as the day comes to an end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You react in a surprising way to environmental influences all day long. Take the time to prepare yourself for any possible upsets.

Your Birthday for September 17, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 17th, 2018

Born today, you are not always the most affable of individuals, in part because you are so self-absorbed that you do not always connect with those around you. Also, you tend to be a rather serious-minded individual, one who prefers to deal with people to get things done, rather than to enjoy their company. You can, at times, put people off by sharing your more controversial opinions -- but you never see any benefit in keeping silent when you have something to say! You prefer to go it alone when it comes to your work, and it is likely you will choose a profession that gives you a great deal of freedom while providing you with all the solitude you desire.

When it comes to love, you are something of a mystery, and most who find themselves attracted to you find you difficult to get to know. What you require, of course, is someone very much like yourself, who understands who you are because he or she is much the same! You are not a fan of "courtship."

Also born on this date are: Hank Williams Sr., singer and songwriter; John Ritter, actor; Charles Martinet, actor; Roddy McDowall, actor; Anne Bancroft, actress; William Carlos Williams, poet; Ken Kesey, author; Baz Luhrmann, director; Rita Rudner, comedian.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to travel far from home in order to nail down something that has been quite elusive in the past. You don't have to travel alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will want to pay attention to what you put in your body today. The right food and drink can make all the difference at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're eager to prove to someone else that you can be entirely self-sufficient, even when the going gets tough. Follow all clear signs.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even while you are doing what you are told, you may wonder if it's the right path for you. Autonomy is becoming a major issue -- again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have more to offer than most others today, but you may not know right away just when or where to make your pitch. That info comes soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll receive an offer of help from someone who is not normally on your side. This could mark the beginning of a significant change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know much of what is going on today, but one thing escapes you that is going to prove quite significant very soon. Heed all warnings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You and a friend can come together under a new banner. Others are likely to join as well. What happens as a result gives you new hope.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can score an important personal victory today, and no one else need know it -- yet. The time will come when you will want to share.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A minor misjudgment has major repercussions today. You can undo any serious errors before they become permanent, however. Help is available.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The results you are after are attainable only after you put in a certain amount of effort. There are no shortcuts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're able to show off just how much you know about a subject that is not commonly researched by normal, everyday people. You'll have fun!
