Your Birthday for September 04, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 4th, 2024

Born today, you are going to have it your way, or not at all -- but that doesn't mean you're going to run roughshod over others as you pursue your goals. On the contrary, you're far more likely to forge long-term alliances that are mutually beneficial in order to make your dreams come true, for you are always eager to foster positive relationships with those whom you encounter both personally and professionally. Not for you are the kind of rivalries that make enemies of people striving for the same things in life! You'd much rather make friends with those whom you can share your successes with than succeed in a manner that alienates you from others -- and that's very likely how your professional life is likely to pan out. You are a proponent of the positive in all things, at all times.

You are a powerful and vivacious individual; the kind others look to as a role model -- and this is something that you take very seriously indeed. You know that people are watching you almost all the time, and because of that you will always do what you can to present yourself in the best possible light to inspire and encourage others.

Also born on this date are: Beyonce, singer; Wes Bentley, actor; Mitzi Gaynor, actress; Dick York, actor; Tom Watson, golfer; Ione Skye, actress; Damon Wayans, actor and comedian.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may begin to pick up signs that your own stress levels are rising. Do what you can to keep yourself from overreacting to routine stimuli.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to expect a favor from someone in charge -- though it may not be done in the manner you anticipate. Still, it will do you good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be growing tired of a certain circumstance that is keeping you away from someone who usually plays a leading role in your daily life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't let anyone tell you that something you did before can't be done again. When the time comes you can prove you're more than capable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't expect anyone to bend the rules for you today, but if you have to do something questionable, you shouldn't be punished for it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to be called upon today to do something that everyone knows is in your wheelhouse -- but today you may be facing a new challenge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your well-laid plans may have to change today as soon as others become involved. You cannot control all variables, so you must simply react.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be feeling like yourself today, but what that means exactly, and how it will play out, is uncertain. Heed your inner voices!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may receive a warning today that is difficult to take seriously -- until you find yourself in the situation it was meant to help you avoid.

Your Birthday for September 03, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 3rd, 2024

Born today, you do things your way, and that's that. You aren't the kind to subscribe to anyone else's notion of what you should do or what is "supposed" to bring you contentment, but rather you pursue those things that you know for a fact feed your mind, body, and soul -- even if they are things that most other sane people would avoid given the chance. Indeed, the more unusual a thing is, the more likely you are to give it a try -- and quite often you find that it's something you're willing to try more than once, and even make a habit of in some way. There will surely come a time in which you realize that being a faithful follower of your own desires wins you a great deal of attention -- and you'll no doubt learn to use that to your distinct advantage both professionally and personally.

When you look back on your life, you're likely to track several different paths that defined you in some way, and as a result you may actually have trouble determining just what mold you fit into -- so you can just imagine how much trouble others have in trying to do the same thing. You are certainly not one to be easily pigeonholed!

Also born on this date are: Charlie Sheen, actor; Shaun White, Olympic snowboarder; Ferdinand Porsche, engineer; Alan Ladd, actor; Valerie Perrine, actress; Eileen Brennan, actress.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your unique perspective will allow you to see things in a new way today -- and you'll be able to make a new and exciting plan as a result.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others may not understand why you're doing what you're doing, but you have a plan that seems to be working for you at this time. Keep it up!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not have time today to break down instructions into small, more comprehensible parcels, so why not just do the job at hand yourself?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll have the chance to revisit something today that usually restores both your energy and your inspiration, and you mustn't pass it up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A slower pace doesn't necessarily mean that things will be easy today. Indeed, you may have to take things slowly because they're hard.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to rearrange your schedule today to ensure that everything can get done as assigned. Don't let any loose ends trip you up!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A slow start doesn't have to put a dent in your progress at all today. You'll be able to pick up speed once you've faced a new challenge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel fatigued as the day begins, and this should serve as a warning that you'll soon need to carve out some time for a little rest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- While exploring something new today you'll be reintroduced to something that you've long valued. It's time to get reacquainted!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Money matters may not be at the fore today, but you'll be thinking about ways to stretch every dollar as you address your current needs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take care that your expectations are not unrealistic today. Others will surely remind you of what can be done given time and resources.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be able to put every plan in motion today, but you can surely have an impact if you do one particular thing at the right time.

Your Birthday for September 02, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 2nd, 2024

Born today, you are one of those somewhat mysterious individuals who, for reasons that are entirely your own and not often shared with others, tend to do things in a manner that inspires far more questions than answers, for you let your actions speak for you and do what you can to avoid explaining yourself to anyone at any time. It is almost as if you fear that letting other people in on the secrets that drive you would be tantamount to sacrificing your own autonomy, and while that is only a somewhat mistaken notion it is true to you -- and that's what matters. Another reason why you keep your motives to yourself more often than not is that quite often you don't really understand them yourself! You follow your instincts where they will lead you, hoping that all will turn out right in the end.

You are a naturally curious individual, and while you may enjoy the simple things, you also enjoy learning all you can about the kinds of things that are as far removed from your own immediate reality as possible. Whenever possible, too, you'd rather get your hands dirty than learn about something in a book.

Also born on this date are: Mark Harmon, actor; Salma Hayek, actress; Keanu Reeves, actor; Terry Bradshaw, football player and commentator; Christa McAuliffe, teacher and astronaut; Jimmy Connors, tennis player; Linda Purl, actress; Billy Preston, singer and musician.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Showering others with gifts and praise is one way to win allies, but there's a better, more honest and down-to-earth way to do it, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself immersed in a situation today that others have done their best to avoid. By day's end you'll surely be in control.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take a look back at the last few days -- or weeks, even -- and you'll see what it is you have to avoid, and what you'll want to repeat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll see much around you today that sparks interest in the unusual, and you'll be tempted to drop what you're doing to explore something new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You certainly want things to turn out your way today, but for a time you'll have to focus on someone else's progress instead of your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may encounter something rather mysterious today which sidelines you for a while as you try to get to the bottom of it. Be patient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If your plans are not solid and clearly laid out, how can you expect others to follow them faithfully? Be sure to be clear and explicit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're ready to go off in a new direction perhaps, but take care that you think of this excursion just as seriously as another endeavor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're after something today that isn't likely to come to you of its own accord, so active pursuit will be necessary at times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The complaint others may have about you today is that you are less than clear in your expectations. This is only part of a temporary phase.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If you want things to be constant and uninterrupted today, you're likely to be disappointed. Be ready for some stop-and-start progress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Situations that evolve today are best addressed one at a time as they arrive. Don't wait until you have too much on your plate to handle.
