Born today, you are able to plug away at a task no matter what the obstacles may be or what hardship you may have to endure -- such is your dedication, your tenacity and your confidence. You honestly do not feel that there are very many things that you cannot do if you set your mind to it. This may seem like cockiness, or at the very least a fantasy -- but there is something in it that is the truth, for you have a knack for proving yourself again and again over time, doing the very things that others -- critics and supporters alike -- may be certain that you cannot do, or that cannot be done by anyone.
You're not all that interested in personal gain, notoriety or fame -- though you will accept anything that comes your way with gratitude. You are more interested in keeping busy, in broadening your range of experience and in learning how to do new things. You're not a glory hound.
Also born on this date are: Eileen Brennan, actress; Valerie Perrine, actress; Charlie Sheen, actor; Ferdinand Porsche, inventor; Alan Ladd, actor.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Forces beyond your immediate control will surely have an effect on the results of your own efforts -- but this will not be permanent.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be sending mixed signals and not even know it. Someone else is wondering if you really mean what you are saying.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new idea is likely to be met with approval -- but not in all quarters. Some will object simply because it is your idea, and not theirs.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You cannot fool those who know you best -- and one person in particular will seem to know exactly what you are really up to, and why.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- He or she who plays an important role in your affairs today will be deserving of special favor when you have a chance to give it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be after something that is, for whatever reason, prohibited or simply unavailable. It's time to reshape some of your desires.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not feel as though you can win the game, but that judgment is premature. Your staying power can surely serve you quite well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A certain project may not be going exactly as planned -- but is that because of a personnel problem, or a misuse of available resources?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Communication will be made easier today as a result of proximity, if nothing else. Clarity is enhanced at this time, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's important that you have something to fall back on if your primary plan doesn't work as expected. You mustn't simply stop!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to tend to more than expected today -- but you have what it takes, and can work long after others have called it a day.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel as though things are being said in a way that is designed to be impossible to decipher. This may simply be a delusion.
