Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012: This year you often feel as though you cannot get certain elements of your life under control. You won’t want to leave anything to chance. By learning to detach, you will gain many new insights that could make a big difference in the choices you make. If single, the romance you think you are attracting could be very different in reality. Your ability to grow and transform within a relationship will be tested. If attached, you will have control of your finances. You will display considerable talent in that area. Curb a tendency to be possessive around Taurus. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Aries if born before 8:41 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Taurus.
