Your Birthday for September 22, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 22nd, 2023

Born today, you have been endowed with a quiet intensity which is often on display when you are working on solitary projects that require the utmost in concentration, focus and stamina. You know how to apply yourself even when faced with tremendous obstacles, and you're not likely to tire when you have set yourself a goal that is clearly within reach. You will do what you must to reach it, come what may, and you will take the time later on to recoup.

You can be rather fiery and mercurial, and while others may think you are often flighty and inconsistent, you are in fact following a path that is straight and narrow, and that leads directly to your intended destination -- and if it works for you, that's all that matters! You give such criticism very little thought at all.

Also born on this date are: Joan Jett, singer; Debby Boone, singer; Scott Baio, actor; Andrea Bocelli, singer; Bonnie Hunt, actress; Tom Felton, actor; Shari Belafonte, actress; Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager.

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.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Changes made by those in charge may disappoint you today, but if you can avoid being discouraged, you can do much to improve your own standing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is not the time to let someone else's errors hold you back. You are eager to collaborate perhaps, but you may have to go it alone today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you send no mixed signals to one who is waiting for a firm answer from you. If you have to make direct personal contact, do so!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A minor adjustment allows you to fit that square peg into a round hole -- or so it will seem, and that's all that really matters to you today.

Your Birthday for September 21, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 21st, 2023

Born today, you are a highly creative and imaginative individual, but it's not for you to simply envision things that have never been and leave it at that. Rather, you have the drive and the skills necessary to make real what you dream up, even in the most unlikely of circumstances, and you're sure to build a reputation as one with an uncanny knack for making the impossible possible.

Though your accomplishments are sure to attract a great deal of attention throughout your lifetime, you do not actively seek out the kind of praise and adulation that others born under your sign dearly love. You would rather be left alone, and you will work very hard to stay out of the public eye as much as possible -- though you do enjoy the rewards your efforts bring you.

Also born on this date are: Bill Murray, actor; Stephen King, author; Faith Hill, singer; Larry Hagman, actor; Luke Wilson, actor; H.G. Wells, author; Jerry Bruckheimer, producer; Nancy Travis, actress; Ethan Coen, director and writer.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must not go at something so hard that you wear away at your own enthusiasm. You want to be doing this for some time!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are entering a phase marked by increased discovery and decreased risk, which can be quite a profitable combination if you use it correctly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can deal with certain difficulties today as if nothing is wrong at all -- but someone who knows you well knows better and can help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Recovery from a perceived slight can be quick today, provided you don't interpret it in any ways that increase the impact it has on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You and a friend may not be in sync as you have been in the past, which may require you to put off doing something scheduled for today or tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to effect the change you are after today, but only after engaging in negotiations with someone who can be difficult.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The reasons you have settled on for certain things are likely to prove false today. You must continue your search for the truth!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know how to make things happen merely by showing up -- but your timing is the key. Don't let anyone rush you into anything today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can be far more generous than most today, even though you may have no more to give than anyone else. It's all in your state of mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The good work you do today may not be remembered by others, but you will know what you contributed and that can take you very far.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be facing a stubborn problem today that was brought about by someone else's ignorance of a situation you've been facing alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is the time to let others know if and how they have crossed boundaries and threatened you in some way. Today's a good day to forgive.

Your Birthday for September 20, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 20th, 2023

Born today, you are likely to make quite a sensation wherever you go, perhaps not when you are very young, but certainly beginning with your mature years when you seem to have every option open to you and appear able to take advantage of all opportunities that present themselves. Indeed, you are an active, positive, goal-oriented individual who is always in pursuit of that which can bring you more success, more notoriety and more praise and admiration from others.

You are able to hold other people in thrall with little effort, so strong are your personality and charisma. You know what you do to others, and you actively try to do it as often as possible. Yes, you can score important gains this way, but you also think it's quite fun to have such an effect on others.

Also born on this date are: Sophia Loren, actress; Anne Meara, actress; Gary Cole, actor; Upton Sinclair, author; Guy Lafleur, hockey player; Kristen Johnston, actress; Dale Chihuly, glass sculptor; George R.R. Martin, author.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want to examine all that happens today very closely, dividing it into equal parcels. What happens in the middle may surprise you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The memory of a tough time can keep you from repeating now the mistakes you made then. Focus on what lies ahead when you've chosen the right path.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can spend some quality time with family members today -- but someone may surprise you by adding stiff competition to the overall dynamic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Timing may not be everything today, but it will likely prove the most important thing, and you can manipulate it very creatively.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Whether you're able to start and finish a certain project all in one day isn't nearly as important as how you treat others who are working with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you do behind the scenes today is likely to be revealed before you have time to prepare for such a development. Keep your eyes open.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you take at face value today can be only so valuable, but that which requires some interpretation will exceed your expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Trust your instincts and you'll wind up in the right place today -- but take care that you don't interpret incorrectly a very simple clue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Quality control may prove a major issue today. You can recognize when something is not up to par, but can you do so when asked?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What someone else does is likely to reflect on you today in a very unusual way. You'll want to explore this further for as long as you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's important for you to please those calling the shots today, but perhaps not as important as you think. What do you really want or need?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be criticized today for something that is not entirely your fault -- but you are better off accepting the blame and moving on quickly.
