A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Aries.

Happy birthday for Friday, Sept. 8, 2017:
Relationships in general become more important than in the recent past. Whether interacting with a boss or a partner, you’ll discover how good you feel with a strong interpersonal foundation. If you are single, you break precedent and become less fussy and critical, which allows several interesting potential suitors to come toward you. You could form a key bond this year. If you are attached, the two of you learn to flow together and to accept your differences as something positive. You experience increased respect and kindness between the two of you, though you are the leader in these changes. ARIES often challenges your logic. Don’t take it personally.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Put your best foot forward. Understand what separates you from an authority figure. You simply might be less conservative and more active than this person. You have a well-defined procedure when approaching a difficult or unknown situation. Know that you can blaze your own path! Tonight: Christen the weekend with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Know when to back down and become less assertive. You are often stubborn and hold your ground despite opposition. This attitude could be the source of a problem right now. Defer and be willing to let others assume a stronger role. Tonight: Do for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Gemini can be quite the socialite. You could find that you might be unusually busy having a conversation about an important topic. Squeezing in other social activities could be hard. Tonight: Decide to lighten up the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Take charge and deal with a problem that keeps rearing its ugly head. You have what it takes to smooth out a rough spot. Be aware of what a parent, older relative or loved one wants. Maintain a sense of humor, as you might hear commentary you would like to erase from your mind. Tonight: Being noticed wherever you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep reaching out for more information and opinions. The bigger the selection, the better your responses can be. You see more options than most people. You are also willing to take a course or two if the experience will open you up to new thinking. Tonight: Start planning a trip or weekend away in the near future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path if you are open to a new type of adventure. How you see a new possibility could radically change given time and space. The introduction to this experience is likely to come through a loved one or close friend. Tonight: Make it your pleasure to be with a favorite friend!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Continue deferring to others. The time to reclaim the pulpit and let others know about your ideas isn’t quite yet. You could learn a lot about others instead. You will know when to move on a certain issue as a result. Tonight: Hit several different TGIFs. The mix and differences might be intriguing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have the ability to read between the lines and notice what was not shared. You also might want to ask a question to confirm a hunch. This activity could involve family, your home life and what you most want from a relationship. Tonight: Invite a friend or two over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might want to reach out to someone you haven’t seen in a while. This person is part of your life, and you often act like siblings when you are together. Don’t take any statements about someone else as fact. There could be some gossip mixed in. Tonight: Catch up on news with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You could go haywire with your spending and not even be aware of the damages you are creating. Use good sense, even when treating someone to lunch. Choose a moderately priced restaurant. The company is what counts. Tonight: Play away stress.
