Born today, you have been endowed with a positive spirit, tremendous creativity, and the ability to appreciate all that comes to you in life. Still, you are also able to spot and identify those things that are not as good and bright as what surrounds them, and your natural optimism never gets out of hand because it is always tempered by a realistic awareness of the shadows that exist in everyone's life. This is what keeps you an even keel most of the time.
You can work well alone but you are also able to adjust your overall approach to make the most of teamwork and collaboration. Still, when working with others, you are likely to shine more brightly than the rest, and perhaps receive more credit and accolades than anyone else. Fortunately, you are more than willing to share all of these with other members of your team.
Also born on this date are: F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer; John Marshall, U.S. chief justice; Jim Henson, Muppeteer; Linda McCartney, photographer and musician.
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 25
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are thinking about certain situations in a way that proves rather opaque to friends and supporters. Share your concerns more freely.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The more you try to get permission to do a certain thing, the more others will suspect you of something fishy. Adopt a new approach.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not benefit as planned from doing things a new way, but those around you will almost certainly be better off. This is a plus.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your attempts at simplifying your approach may actually do just the opposite. There's nothing wrong with your current methods.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have a sense that something is coming your way that will demand attention -- but that doesn't mean it will be something bad.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not have the advantage today, but you can certainly have the lead by day's end -- if you pace yourself and trust your instincts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An unusual strategy has you turning a sure thing into a game of chance. Is this really what you were trying to do? Think again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Those who are worried that you're on the wrong track may not fully understand what you're trying to do -- but they surely have a point.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have trouble ensuring that what comes in exceeds that which is going out -- especially where today's finances are concerned.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have imagined a great deal that can very well come to pass, and today you must begin working on the first of many viable ideas.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time for you to recognize that a current fascination is more than a passing interest. Take the time to assess all possibilities.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Though you usually find every way possible to make a new situation pay off, today you'll have good reason to turn down an unexpected offer.
