Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011: Your precision and emphasis on details allow unusual depth and perception, if you detach. You could become well known for your ability to sleuth out an issue and come up with several viable alternatives. If single, a newfound intensity draws potential suitors. If attached, don’t turn a magnifier on your partner and indulge in criticism. Rather, accept your sweetie. Sagittarius can be an emotional weight. A child born today before 2:03 p.m. Pacific time has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Scorpio. After that time, the child has a Moon in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Have that important discussion. Midafternoon, once you get something off your chest, you naturally open up and see another perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • A partner commands your attention, like it or not. You might want to try one of his or her ideas and see if it is workable. An abrupt “no” simply won’t work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • You finally complete a project that has taken way too long. Join a friend or loved one, even if this person is in the midst of his or her plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You might want to try another approach with a wayward child. Pressure builds outside your home, whether it is checking on an older relative or some other matter involving responsibility.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Complete a task that might involve your home. Once you wave goodbye to certain responsibilities, you feel carefree.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Remain direct in the morning, and you’ll get a good response. Know what is happening on the home front. Pay attention, and you’ll get results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Deal with others directly. Handle your finances on your own. Don’t delegate, if possible, as others are not predictable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Pressure builds. You might have more to say in the morning; by the afternoon, it appears you toss care to the wind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Once you get going, you could be a force to stop. Your high energy and charisma help design your plans, as well as several others’ plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Use the morning, when you naturally energize, making nearly anything possible. Your smile and winning ways draw quite a few people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • You don’t need to prove anything. If someone is taken aback by you, possibly it could be the result of this person not really understanding you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Touch base with an older relative who means a lot to you. In fact, be spontaneous when making plans. Let go of money concerns, just for a little while.
