Born today, you embrace the unusual, the bizarre and even the controversial as your preferred milieu, and the full expression of who you are, combined with what you do, is sure to result in a lot of mixed feelings directed at you from those you encounter in life. For the truth is that no one outside of your inner circle of family and friends really understands you at all.
You are aware of how things are "supposed" to be done, and you can do things that way at times -- but it is frankly quite exhausting for you not to do things in a natural, organic way. Still, you must do so occasionally, if only to collect a paycheck and support yourself and your family -- but you needn't do so all the time, for the real you wouldn't allow it anyway.
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.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are better off using subtle means today to effect the changes you and others want at this time. Don't be too insistent or aggressive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A minor error may have major repercussions today, so you must be ready to step in and do whatever is in your power to minimize the damage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself looking up to someone who is really no different from yourself. Perhaps you've been underestimating yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is no substitute for being ready today; preparedness is really the whole ball game. Take no shortcuts, and heed all official warnings.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you see ahead of you today is likely to give you pause, but once you've gotten over any first impressions, you'll know what you must do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are looking for something that will give you a boost once it's in your possession, but someone may be standing in your way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have made up your mind about doing something that others have warned you against -- but doing things your own way builds confidence, surely.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have little time today to do or say what must be done or said, so you must not hesitate when it's your turn. Be direct and honest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There's nothing wrong with the work you're doing at this time, but someone may find fault just to test you in some way. Don't be rattled.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must not take any risks that are avoidable today -- and you'll know which those are well ahead of time. Stay on your chosen path.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will feel the force of someone's personality today, but that doesn't mean you have to fall under their spell. Keep a safe distance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a decision to make today that will determine the direction you take. Nowhere does it say you cannot ask for help.
