Happy birthday for Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017:
This year you see many opportunities appear, but you will have to decide quickly whether you want to act on them. Many of your choices could cause discomfort in other areas of your life. You need to know your priorities, so review them frequently. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance closer to the second half of the year. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, you and your sweetie might experience some tension from the demands in your life together. Make special time for each other. CANCER could feel odd around you, as you aren’t expressive with your emotions.

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)

Return calls, emails and texts. Your fiery side emerges when dealing with someone who does not agree with you. You actually might get the cold shoulder as a result. Use your impulsiveness to your benefit. Tonight: Think carefully before you try to clear up a problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be willing to allow others to express their thoughts about a project and/or an investment. You will do well relating on a one-on-one level. One person might have difficulty responding, but that has more to do with him or her than it does with you. Tonight: Visit with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’ll be close to unstoppable in the morning. By the afternoon, you will sense a change that could be stemming from fatigue. You are likely to become involved in a project that you might not be as enthusiastic about as you would like. Tonight: Buy a treat for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You will go from being introverted to being rather expressive. Others might not know which side of your personality will greet them. You could have difficulty getting to the bottom of an unanticipated change involving an authority figure. Tonight: Be whimsical and fancy-free.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Use the daylight hours to the max. You will feel as if you cannot be stopped. By mid-afternoon, you will want some downtime in order to complete a project or get a snooze. You project much more positivity than you actually feel. Tonight: Feel free to vanish into the night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be more sensitive to stress than you realize. Not until you have cleared out some of your work will you be able to gain a fresh perspective. Someone around you might be expecting a lot from you. Remind this person that you are only human. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You step up to the plate. A conversation or an unexpected twist could hold you back temporarily. Your determination separates you from others, and promises that you will complete what you need to. A friend or loved one could be jealous. Tonight: Make it OK to be a little late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Handle the particulars of an agreement as early as you can. Field calls later in the day, responding only to those who have relevant information. You might need to share a project more openly to gain the type of feedback you want. Tonight: Where you can hear or play great music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others challenge you, but try not to be defensive. Incorporate what seems like a good idea or valid point. Compliment those who accept other points of view. You might opt to work on a one-on-one basis. You find this style of interacting more productive. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Refuse to take someone else’s words or actions personally. You could find that task hard to carry out, but it will be worth it. In the long run, this person already knows how you feel anyway. Do not ignore an issue around your home. Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pace yourself, and use your imagination to clear out as much work as you can. A friend can be very negative or difficult. You are not responsible for changing this person’s mood. An unpredictable call or event will make you smile. Tonight: Go until you are too tired to continue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel bogged down by a domestic matter in the morning. If you can handle the issue early on, do; otherwise, it could haunt your day. As the day ends, your creativity surges. You might get a surprise involving money, too. Just be careful. Tonight: Out with a friend.
