Born today, you are no stranger to adversity, but you never let any kind of challenge get you down. Rather, you are the kind of person to find the greatest strength under the most formidable of circumstances. A situation that might crush others is just what you need to compel you to be your best. You are likely to know precisely what you are meant to do in life, and you are very comfortable with the idea of having a destiny to fulfill. Though you are not one to enjoy doing what you are told simply for the sake of it, you will surely do what you know you must in order to prevail in good times and bad. You are never daunted by difficulty! This doesn't mean, however, that you cannot enjoy the easier times; on the contrary, you work all the harder to earn them.
You know how to solve all kinds of problems, and your ability to remain flexible in all kinds of situations will surely prove advantageous to you throughout your lifetime. You love feeling the wind in your hair -- figuratively, if not literally. You enjoy doing good things for people -- but especially those in your inner circle.
Also born on this date are: Olivia Newton-John, singer and actress; Serena Williams, tennis player; James Caviezel, actor; T.S. Eliot, poet; Linda Hamilton, actress; George Gershwin, composer; Kent McCord, actor; Jack LaLanne, fitness guru.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just because you are taking a leaf out of someone else's book doesn't mean you are a cheater; this is a legitimate way to learn!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Focus on the things that must get done right away; the rest will wait until you are free to give them what attention you can.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to receive a great deal of valuable information that you can put to use almost immediately. Don't overstate your case, however.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A minor shock has you off balance throughout much of the day -- until someone who knows you well is able to get you back on track.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone who has figured prominently in your affairs in the recent past will resurface today, and possibly make an unusual demand.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will want to get routine tasks out of the way first today, before tending to those issues that will likely take up the rest of the day.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to report on a recent experience. Be sure that you are honest and straightforward, and resist the temptation to elaborate.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can come up with one or two ideas today that will really get people's heads spinning when they consider the ramifications. What are you up to?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You don't want to reveal too much at any one time today; some of what you have to say can be simplified. Trust in traditional methods.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be surprised to learn just what someone has been doing during your time away. Now you must get back in the saddle -- fast!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that your complaints aren't merely interpreted as "crabbing" today. You have a legitimate beef that deserves to be heard.
