Born today, you are something of an up-and-comer, for you are continually finding new opportunities that require you to change course and start from the ground up. Like so many Virgo natives, you love to learn; you must absorb new information almost daily in order to maintain a positive outlook and a true understanding of yourself and the world in which you live. You insist on being treated fairly and will work tirelessly to ensure that you and others are in no way being shortchanged or undervalued. You may pursue a career in the law, but it's not a vocation that will consume you or keep you interested. Indeed, even when you are "the best" at something, it's not likely that you will always do it.
You try to keep your complaining to a minimum, for you recognize that mere complaints -- without any accompanying problem-solving -- are just a waste of time and an emotional burden. Those around you fall under your spell very quickly, and your positive outlook is contagious.
Also born on this date are: Nick Jonas, singer; Marc Anthony, singer; B.B. King, musician; Amy Poehler, actress; Jennifer Tilly, actress; David Copperfield, magician; Lauren Bacall, actress; Peter Falk, actor; Richard Marx, singer; Allen Funt, TV personality; Ed Begley Jr., actor; Anne Francis, actress.
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.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been spinning your wheels lately, and today you'll want to feel like your efforts are producing results. A helping hand is offered.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may want to write things down today in order to organize your thoughts before expressing them to someone who may not take them well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Friction develops today when you and a rival come into close proximity with each other. It may be time to settle this score in a new way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll understand the significance of an encounter that didn't mean much when it first took place. Today you can answer in kind.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Safety and community count for much today and are worthy goals. You know whom you can trust to have your back -- and you must have his or hers.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not understand yet that you are the butt of someone's joke -- but when you do, you can defuse the situation by laughing as hard as others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be picking up the pieces after someone else makes a mess of things, but it's not the disaster you had feared. Progress is quickly made.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- How you think about certain things may surprise you today; you are getting yourself stuck in an unproductive pattern of behavior.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The powers that be are watching you at this time. You must be sure that everything is in place before you begin a new project.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may enjoy parallel experiences today -- those that are closely linked but that offer you very different pleasures. Answer an invitation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're nearing the point of no return where a certain someone is concerned. Make your desires known, and you'll no longer be in charge.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The difference between what you know and what you only think you know becomes plain to you before the day is out.
