Born today, you will realize at a rather early age that you have one, two or even more significant roles to play, both in your private affairs and your professional life. As a result, you will do little in life that is not carefully conceived and executed, the result of plotting and planning and measuring the affect you are having on others very carefully.
You have a way of shocking people out of their complacency -- and whether this is a good pattern of behavior or one that can prove hazardous to you can only be revealed to you over time. But until you begin to see signs of danger, you're going to use the element of surprise to your advantage again and again.
Also born on this date are: Buddy Holly, singer; Corbin Bernsen, actor; Evan Rachel Wood, actress; Toby Jones, actor; Chrissie Hynde, singer; Julie Kavner, actress; Tom Everett Scott, actor; Elia Kazan, director.
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 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be embracing a pet issue to such an extent that another key belief is being sacrificed in its name. Is this really intentional?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your knowledge of what stands between the haves and the have-nots will serve you well today -- and it will serve others well very soon.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone may challenge you in such a way today that your ideals are being threatened in some way. You'll want to temper your response with care.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Information that comes to you more easily than expected today must be examined closely, as it's not likely to be completely current.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may choose to loosen your ties with someone who is doing things that rub you very much the wrong way -- but this need only be temporary.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can generate a great deal of excitement today, but you may not be able to take full advantage of all that results. It's a trade-off.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- This is a good day to take stock -- especially of all the emotions that have been roiling over an issue that has finally subsided a bit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- If it's more money you want, you can certainly have it -- but anything you do to fill your purse must be lawful and legitimate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be trying to do a little too much all at once -- and today's a very good day to limit yourself to the essentials. Get some rest.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can recover quickly from any ailment you may be suffering from, provided you recognize its cause and work to distance yourself from it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take care that what you do today doesn't make you a cause for worry among friends or family members. Keep them apprised of your progress.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is no time to compromise, especially when it comes to the care you -- and a friend, perhaps -- are likely to require right now.
