Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011: This year, you open up to new situations more easily than in the past. Your instincts guide you on a level path financially. You will tend to be conservative in this area. If single, you might be surprised by how easily you could meet someone and grow close. If attached, you will both enjoy more time at home. You relax with Sagittarius.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Enough of the same old routine; it’s time to take off for a day trip or meet a dear friend halfway. A change in scenery can do much for your spirit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • You value a relationship, probably much more than many people. Today, make special time for a loved one, whether it is a lengthy meal, a movie or off enjoying a mutual hobby. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Defer to others, knowing full well what you are dealing with. Someone you care a lot about might be off pursuing a special interest. You cannot change this person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Pace yourself and maintain a nice, easy stride. You benefit from a lack of pressure and a more open attitude. Play or let go with a child or loved one.

LEO (July 23-Sept 22) • • • • • Your playfulness emerges early on. Your popularity soars. A serious conversation could help you clear the air.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Honor an obligation, although home is really where you want to be. Evaluate an expenditure involving property or your home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Try not to rain on anyone’s parade. Others really care about your opinions. Use caution. Someone you meet today might not be what he or she projects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Use care with spending. It might not be worth the effort to try to appease someone who simply wants to throw a tantrum.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Your energy attracts many people. Bring family and friends together for a fun holiday get-together. A friend pitches in, but this person takes everything he or she does far too seriously. Help this person relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Step back and let others take charge on this holiday weekend. You might need some downtime to enjoy a walk and perhaps a midday snooze.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Celebrate the last official summer holiday. A close associate’s or friend’s reaction surprises you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Know that many people will look for you, whether you are visiting different Labor Day parties or throwing your own. A partner might be very proud and extremely indulgent.
