HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009:

This year, your actions make a difference. Kick negativity out of your life; lose the word “no.” You’ll discover that the end results are far better. Many times, your knee-jerk reactions prevent you from getting what you honestly deserve. Learn to hold back some, and respond accordingly. You find others exciting and dynamic; they find you to be their pillar of stability. What a nice combination. If you are single, your allure is unique. You have many more choices than you think, especially in 2010. If you are attached, with acceptance, the two of you will develop a more exciting bond. PISCES has the same issues as you, but a different approach.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

HH You might want to sound off. If you really feel this emoting will help, by all means, do so. Later in the day, you’ll see life with renewed interest and more excitement. Use your present mood as an excuse for a nap or some other pleasurable activity. Tonight: You might want to redo plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

HHHH A child’s or a loved one’s actions or attitude could set you on your haunches. Understand what is going on. If you don’t get a straight answer, observe. Good feelings return with excitement. Tonight: Go for quiet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH A must-show situation could get you past negativity. Somehow you feel as if everything always lands on you. Whether you like it or not, that seems to be the case. When all’s said and done, you might want to revise that thought at the end of the day, or in a few days. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

HHHHH Keep breaking through a problem and searching for a new way of looking at things. Your sense of humor opens many doors. Flex more and let go of preconceived opinions. Happiness surrounds you. Tonight: A force to be noticed!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHH Close relating draws others into your thinking. Suddenly they get it. Up till now, you have not been able to instill your ideas in others. The element of surprise plays a significant role. Don’t let insecurity be the source of a response. Tonight: Take in a movie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHHH You might not be so sure of yourself. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? When dealing with a problem, try a new attitude or approach. What you have been doing isn’t working. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities, then decide.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHHH Dig into a project, and just get it done! All the negativity surrounding you needs to be dispelled. You feel surprisingly renewed by events and what occurs. Once you get past this “burden,” nearly everything looks like a piece of cake. Tonight: Join friends or throw a party!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HHHH What you say has an impact. Though you might not be as empathetic as you would like or see the whole picture, you ferret your way through a puzzle. Others prove to be unpredictable but responsive. Complete a project in the p.m. Tonight: Make it early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

HHHHH Others prove to be highly responsive, even if they find you a bit too spontaneous. You help shake another person out of his or her mood. Use your combined energy and magnetism. Everyone might be most happy with the end result. Tonight: King or queen for the day.
