Born today, you know how to take people by surprise, and you will no doubt do so throughout your lifetime. Indeed, from an early age you will enjoy the reactions you get when you do that which is least expected; as you grow older, this will translate into a rare kind of professional zeal -- and a fearlessness that will hold you in good stead with colleagues. When you are in any kind of personal or professional rut, you are able to stay focused and work toward higher ground. What you do -- or don't do -- is the product of who you are, and how you position yourself in life; as far as you are concerned, luck has nothing to do with either your successes or your failures.
You are often compelled to pursue the unusual -- and this holds true in love as well. While it is often said that one cannot choose where the heart leads, your choice of romantic partners is sure to raise eyebrows, for you are always drawn to those who are unconventional and different from yourself.
Also born on this date are: Hilary Duff, actress; Ben E. King, singer; Naomi Watts, actress; Mira Sorvino, actress; Ed Sullivan, TV host; Thomas Crapper, inventor and entrepreneur; Marcello Mastroianni, actor; Janeane Garofalo, actress and comedian.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is a risk today of being too forceful as you make your desires known. Try to be a little more flexible, and tone down the rhetoric.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to get in touch with the one person who has the answers you seek. If so, you'll have to do some digging.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Current frustrations may tempt you to give up on something that is actually very important. A loved one is able to help.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have a lot to digest today, as information comes to you all at once. Avoid getting stuck by doing what you can right away.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Routine affairs are likely to compete with one or two tasks that are singular and quite important. There's no question what you must focus on!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're headed in the right direction, but not as quickly as you had hoped. You'll be surprised to learn by day's end what's holding you back.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't try to fight a certain trend that has you moving in a surprising direction. You can discover a new creative outlet.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are willing to share much that you know with a potential rival, but some things are best kept under wraps. Don't give away the store!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be able to get all your ducks in a row as planned, but if you simply avoid complete chaos you can surely be productive today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Steady progress may not be possible right now, so you must be satisfied with making headway in fits and starts. That counts for something!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not encounter any of the obstacles that you were expecting today. As a result, you can enjoy smooth sailing all the way home.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are facing a certain deadline, and you must now give it priority. Everything else must wait until you get this one thing done.
