A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Sagittarius.

Happy birthday for Monday, Sept. 25, 2017:
This year you are more optimistic than you have been in many years. Sometimes you experience a brief moment of insecurity, but you manage to cruise right through it. Supportive friends surround you. If you are single, you easily could charm the socks right off someone. You might opt not to settle down, as you seem to enjoy the process of dating. If you are attached, the two of you share many mutual interests and always have something to share with each other. You both can enjoy a day just chatting about this or that. SAGITTARIUS takes a lot of risks.
