Born today, you live your life as if you are always in a hurry -- either to get to something or to escape from something. It's anyone's guess which is more accurate, but it's likely that each is true to a certain degree. You are compelled to reach for more at all times, to bite off more than you can chew, to experience all you can grab in life. You are also always dodging situations and circumstances that seem to be conspiring against you -- either because the stars have it in for you in some way, or you simply keep making the kinds of mistakes that get you into hot water again and again.
You may be blessed with fame and fortune in your lifetime -- or perhaps you might call it "cursed," for there are aspects of being in the public eye that you simply will not be able to handle well. The loss of privacy, and the inability to do what you want when you want without attracting attention is not something you will always enjoy.
Also born on this date are: Charlie Sheen, actor; Shaun White, Olympic snowboarder; Ferdinand Porsche, engineer; Alan Ladd, actor; Valerie Perrine, actress; Eileen Brennan, actress.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Issues revolving around your sense of self, independence and autonomy may be unavoidable today. A friend offers an answer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Trust your instincts today, and let yourself express thought and emotion with unfettered clarity. You can surely get what you want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Information comes to you today that seems to "change everything," but upon further examination you'll realize you are overreacting.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have reason to examine a very important friendship very closely today. Something is going on that you can't quite fathom.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care today that you don't start mulling over things that cannot serve you well; if you begin to spiral, it's going to be a long way down.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself full of anxiety today over an issue you thought was resolved long ago. A loved one can help sort out these feelings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are more than willing to help someone else through a difficult period that begins today. How long is this commitment likely to last?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will likely do more than is expected today, but your reasons may not make a lot of sense to those around you. You needn't explain.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An issue arises today that reveals a certain vulnerability of which you have not been aware. You'll want to remedy this as soon as you can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can resolve a central issue today, but peripheral questions remain. Others are likely to point you in many new directions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your admiration for someone must not be allowed to distort the truth when you realize that he or she is guilty of some wrongdoing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not know how to make someone else feel better about an issue that you don't fully understand. Just try to "be there" when you can.
