Born today, you are a strong-willed individual, but the confidence you display to the world at large often belies an insecurity that lurks just beneath the surface. This insecurity compels you to seek out praise and approval wherever you may be, and to attract supporters and backers into your circle as often as possible. You are perfectly able to achieve a great deal on your own, but you don't necessarily believe that such accomplishments are truly valuable unless someone else tells you so. Still, you are driven by a force deep within that moves you forward at all times; you are never content to rest on your laurels -- or, indeed, to rest at all!
You have much more in common with those around you than you might think. When you finally realize that this can be a source of inspiration to you, the lid will come off, and you will burst forth in a new way, to do a great many new things that are truly memorable -- in conjunction with others, no doubt!
Also born on this date are: Joan Jett, singer; Debby Boone, singer; Scott Baio, actor; Andrea Bocelli, singer; Bonnie Hunt, actress; Shari Belafonte, actress; Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager; Mike Matheny, baseball player; Elizabeth Bear, author; Tai Babilonia, figure skater.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23
SAGITTARIIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- No one need be aware of what is really driving you forward. Your motivation -- and your inspiration -- are your business.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can put things together in a different way and come up with something completely new and exciting to you and others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Let your imagination lead you where it will, especially when you are working with a loved one to solve a stubborn problem.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A picture may be worth a thousand words, but how you express yourself will prove essential to your progress at home and in the workplace.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be party to someone else's progress, and will be able to share in any attendant celebration when the time comes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are never going to be able to do what someone else does in quite the same way, so why not concentrate on developing your own unique style?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to be on call, so readiness is absolutely essential. You must be able to pull yourself away at a moment's notice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be farther from someone important to you than you have ever been before. Keep the lines of communication open, by all means.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your halfway point may have shifted somewhat, requiring you to work a little harder, and a little longer, before taking a break.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's time to introduce a loved one to a new idea you've been playing with for some time. Setting it in motion will require adjustments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your work is likely to expose you to some kind of danger, either physical or emotional. You must protect yourself in any way you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may make more errors than usual, but if you are aware of them, you can also clean up after yourself -- no one has to know!
