Born today, you are never one to let yourself be taken in by any kind of deception and subterfuge, and you are quick to spot those who might try to get the better of you -- or others -- in this way. You are always aware of what is going on around you; indeed, you have a kind of 360-degree perception that keeps you safe in situations that might seriously threaten someone else, and that gives you the perspective and knowledge you need to address threats, challenges and problems as they arise so that they don't, ultimately, amount to much.
Though you prefer to remain outside any conflict that might arise, you have been known to take part when issues of great personal import are involved -- and you can put up quite a fight when you or a loved one is threatened directly. Still, you prefer negotiation to outright violence, and your persuasive skills are keen.
Also born on this date are: Ludacris, rapper; Harry Connick Jr., singer and actor; Paul Bear Bryant, coach; Kristy McNichol, actress; Moby, composer and musician; Tom Landry, football coach; Virginia Madsen, actress.
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.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your own needs must take precedence today. Don't let others pull you too far from the path you are determined to take. You receive a gift.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must accept that certain restrictions have been put in place to minimize potential dangers. It's time to play by the rules.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may realize that what you have in common with another may not be quite enough to keep things going along the same path. Change is coming.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll get just as much value from recreation today as you will from work -- and the two may actually be combined in a very creative way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting to hear from someone whose "permission" will relieve you of certain uncertainties that have been holding you back of late.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Assign words to what you are feeling today and you're likely to discover how similar your situation is to another's. You're in this together.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be unusually conscientious today -- and that's saying something! It's a good time to assign yourself a few difficult tasks.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can understand someone's feelings much better, perhaps, than your own. This can actually help you come to terms with personal issues.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know what or who is influencing you at this time, but that may not be enough to allow you to do something about it. Be patient.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You mustn't charge ahead today without considering what others will be thinking and feeling as a result of your actions. You're connected!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to get an earlier start than expected today, and this will allow you to "bank" some extra time you can use later on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't be so focused on a certain task, as important as it may be, that you neglect other things that can be just as important.
