HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 7, 2009: This year, details and more details could overwhelm you. Honor your priorities. If single, you will want a close relationship.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Is it really business as usual? You discover Murphy’s law, which creates several hurdles. Know that you are entering a period where it might not be smooth sailing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Today you might see the beginning of some mudslinging that you would prefer to avoid. Who wouldn’t? Open up to potential changes, but make no decisions for the next few weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Zero in on what you want, although it might be a twisted route getting there. This pattern will remain intact for the month.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••• You are on top of your game, though it might be difficult for some to tell. Check out the dynamics in a key situation. People seem to misunderstand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Reach out to others, even if you feel slightly exhausted. Watch – someone has the intention of handling a situation one way, yet it probably won’t wind up as he or she believes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Defer to a partner or friend. You might suddenly feel out of kilter. Be careful with plans; confirm them to make sure you are both on the same page.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• You get a sense that not everyone gets what you share, even more so in the next few weeks. Look at your communication, searching for a hidden agenda or need to express some strong feelings you have yet to identify.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• Understand what needs to be done, and do just that. Don’t let others slow you down. Confirm plans, as others have a different idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• Although you might feel playful and have a great sense of humor, it doesn’t mean everyone else does. You could have difficulty understanding what a key friend really wants.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Your actions could come back to haunt you. Stay sensitive to someone else, and you will know how to proceed. Not everyone is as generous as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• You could feel as if you are in the eye of a hurricane. You could be on overload with so many people around you. Just because you say something doesn’t mean you are heard.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Feelings flow between you and others, though somehow the words don’t seem to match the experience. This disconnect will become more prevalent in the remainder of the month.
