Happy birthday for Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017:
This year you enter a phase of greater clarity and potential. You might not be as effusive as you have been in the past, but you certainly have a great personality and an ability to manifest your desires. Others often enlist you in helping them fulfill a goal or dream. If you are single, you will not have to go far to meet the right person: You might run into this person even pulling out of your driveway! An unexpected element could be involved. If you are attached, the two of you proceed and follow through on a major goal. You seem to be on the verge of creating much more of what you want. Respect your differences. TAURUS often uses your practicality to strengthen a plan.

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)

Someone could let you know how much you are valued. This person has no expectation that you respond in kind; this simply is how he or she feels. Others start to share and be more vulnerable than they have been in months. Get into this moment. There is little guarantee that it is forever. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You express a willingness to get into the moment this afternoon. Others often expect you to hold back and decide to do what you want. You flow with the moment and what is occurring. Others appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. Go for it. Do not hesitate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You could be ready to take a stand, but it appears that you, of all signs, don’t have a receptive audience. Lie low and remain prepared to handle any hassle that might come forward. You don’t need to share a plan, but you might want some help or a brain-storming session. Tonight: Make it early. There is always tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You could be full of get-up-and-go. Focus on accomplishing what you must in order to free yourself up. Midday, you notice a change in your tone. Friends seek you out, and getting together with others seems to be highlighted. Let go of a recent hassle and get into the fun of the moment. Tonight: Where the action is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Make calls in the morning. You are likely to get an interesting response. Stay on top of what is happening; don’t sell yourself short. You have the ability to think and sift through different ways of understanding. In the afternoon, you assume your natural role as a communicator. Tonight: Be aware of someone’s expectations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have a hard conversation with a loved one or dear associate. This person could be very important to you, but at the moment, he or she could be quite demanding. Detach and understand what is really ailing this person. Tonight: Go exotic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Others see you in a different way once you break out of your current mood. Someone’s sudden action or impulsiveness sends you into a state of concern. You might want to come to terms with the volatility that hanging out with this person brings. Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You could be more uptight than you realize. An unexpected development stemming from someone’s actions could set off an argument. Study the situation for what it offers. You might want to loosen up some and get some exercise. Tonight: Go for an escape.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your fiery spirit and willingness, at times, to charge into a wild situation comes out. Whether learning a new sport or getting to know an interesting new group of people, it offers excitement and a lot to consider. Anger could pop up from out of nowhere when reflecting on your past. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Reflect on the possibilities and what you would most like to do. An unusually creative person intrigues you. If you can, make plans around this person and spend more time getting to know him or her. Tonight: Pretend you are a kid again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Allow more feedback and suggestions from a friend or neighbor. Approaching a situation from a new point of view produces unusual feedback. Catch up on errands and phone calls in the morning. You could be surprised by some friends in the afternoon. Tonight: The action surrounds you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Balance your budget and pay bills before you think about a purchase or planning a major expenditure. You want to build from a strong point of security. You have much more to offer than you realize. Tonight: Join friends at a favorite haunt.
