Born today, you were born with the gift of seeing things as they are without the burden of being trapped by circumstances or the reality that you, yourself, acknowledge. No matter what you do or where you go, you will always have your feet planted firmly on the ground, while you let your dreams and aspirations soar. It's that ability, to be thumpingly pragmatic as well as positive, hopeful and idealistic, that will give you an advantage over others.
Your personal life is nobody else's business -- though it's likely that a great many people know what you are like in private because, ironically, you don't often do anything to keep your personal life under wraps. In this regard, and in many other ways, you are the proverbial "open book," and you are mighty proud of who you are -- usually.
Also born on this date are: Freddie Mercury, singer; Michael Keaton, actor; Rose McGowan, actress; Raquel Welch, actress; Bob Newhart, actor and comedian; Cathy Guisewite, cartoonist.
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.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Idealistic but also realistic, you'll be in a fine position today to call the shots for yourself and a group of allies.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care that you don't get lost in a dream today; focus on that which is clear and real, and you'll avoid disappointment as you reach for more.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you have planned to do today may take more time than expected, especially since it will actually be quite difficult to get started.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're waiting for permission to color outside the lines today while your creativity rises to a new level. Make plans, but be patient.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some things can be done in new ways today, surely, but where others are concerned, you'll want to stick to what has worked in the past.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A lack of confidence you feel early in the day is remedied later on when you encounter someone who knows what you're about. Listen!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's all about fulfilling potential today -- your own, and someone else's too. Working together, you both can achieve something new.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Honesty is surely the best policy today -- but on at least one occasion, you may choose to keep silent on a touchy subject.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be invited by someone in charge to express yourself openly today -- and it may be your only opportunity to do so for quite a while.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others are more willing to listen to you today because of something that has happened that has defied expectations. Speak the truth.
