HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010: This year, get into your thoughts more often. Some of you might try yoga or therapy, while others will volunteer for a cause. In a sense, you are changing, and you need more downtime. A partnership could become far more rewarding. If single, be very careful, as someone might not be all that he or she projects. Leo reads you cold.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Let your enthusiasm out with a child or loved one. You are more than aware of your responsibilities. Don’t forget the role of play in your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Remain anchored when dealing with family. Everyone gets triggered sometimes. Learn to detach, and maybe hop in the car for a drive. Choose relaxing activities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Keep communication flowing. You might not understand why someone in your immediate circle is dour. Make calls, reach out to friends and catch up on news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Be aware of a need to make yourself feel more secure. Work on yourself rather than play games. Join friends, and lavish attention on your pals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You note a quality you haven’t felt in a while. Someone at a distance calls. Go along with his or her plans if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Recognize that a partner often needs your attention. Use wisdom with your finances, even if it’s just pitching in and getting a few items for a party.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Accept an invitation to where many of your friends could be. Even if you drop by a party or two, you like being around friends and people in general.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Assume the lead, whether it is bringing friends together or organizing some other happening. You have more energy than you are aware of; therefore, you could take on too much responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Take off and join friends, even if it could mean an hour or two of driving. Just getting out of your local surroundings helps you recharge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Someone close would prefer to have you just to themself. Perhaps it’s time to let go of a plan. This person is very instrumental to your life, as you are to him or her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Others make demands, and you meet their requests. You could be taken aback by everything that is going on around you. You witness a rare get-together, be it of minds or people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Pitch in with a holiday party or barbecue. Do make it a point to break away and take care of certain priorities. You might want to indulge a close friend or loved one.
