Born today, you can be a rather caustic, strident and, at times, ill-behaved individual. This is almost certainly because you insist on being yourself in all situations, and you don't readily put on a false front simply to satisfy protocol -- or another's expectations. You understand and appreciate the importance of good manners, yet you don't let those manners get in your way when you feel compelled to express yourself openly or do something that simply must be done. Some find you rather offensive at times; others find your unwillingness to conform to convention a breath of fresh air.
When it comes to love, you have very particular tastes. Because you know what you want -- or, often, whom -- you are not the kind to compromise or settle for someone who is not the full embodiment of your tastes and desires. You may remain single for quite a long time as a result.
Also born on this date are: Andrew Dice Clay, comedian and actor; Bryant Gumbel, sportscaster and commentator; Lech Walesa, Polish labor leader and president; Madeline Kahn, actress and comedian; Jerry Lee Lewis, musician; Anita Ekberg, actress; Stanley Kramer, filmmaker; Greer Garson, actress; Miguel de Cervantes, author.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even the smallest error can have a major impact, so take care to cover all the bases as you progress through a current project.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Another's money may be a primary concern. You are in a position to give sound counsel, and you may want to follow your own advice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A certain disappointment needn't last long. You are in a position to recover quickly, especially if someone else is ready to play.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A certain someone is ready to give you more than you have asked for, and this is a good sign! Negotiations progress apace.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're willing to take more of a risk, primarily because you're feeling more confident about your own personal affairs.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make your money go further than usual if you look for bargains and pass on any offer that seems too good to be true.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not get the help you were expecting, so be ready to carry on by yourself. Later in the day, the odds of success increase.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're going to have more questions than usual. Those in charge must be ready to answer honestly and in a timely fashion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be knocked off balance for a time, but you can recover your equilibrium quickly once that certain influence has passed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may see something approaching that requires a great deal of preparation. Fortunately, you have the time you need to get it done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone you trust is likely to offer you a piece of advice that, for a moment at least, seems to be quite out of character.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good time to think about the power of money -- your own more than anyone else's, of course. You're in the mood to splurge, perhaps.
