Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011: This year, often you are digging and questioning about the real meaning of life. Other times, you are detached, light and easy. If single, romance could wing in from a distance or be very different. If attached, focus on a mutual long-term goal, which could involve a trip. Taurus helps you detach and understand. A baby born today, after 12:25 p.m. Pacific time, has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Taurus. Before that time, the baby will have a Moon in Aries.
