YOUR HOROSCOPE
Birthday Gal: Actress Salma Hayek was born in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico on this date in 1966. This birthday gal earned a 2003 Oscar nomination for her performance in “Frida.” Her other film work includes “How to Be a Latin Lover,” “Some Kind Of Beautiful,” and “Savages.” Hayek also has garnered a 2007 Emmy nomination for a guest appearance on “Ugly Betty” and won a 2004 Emmy for her direction of “The Maldonado Miracle.”
Aries (March 21-April 19): Pick a new friend rather than a feud. This is a great time to take up physical activities for fun as well as companionship. You could invite someone along as a swimming buddy or join up with a group for softball.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Go for the gold to reach your goal. Some enthusiasms may be briefly dampened or you may be discouraged, so rally your inner strength to wait it out. Family members may have the answer to one of your questions.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Nothing is ever completely black and white. Don’t stray by getting involved with anything that skirts the grey areas of the law or politeness. Hold off on signing agreements, contracts, or making important investments.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): You should think outside the box when a financial situation demands your attention. Take charge and refuse to be molded by circumstances. This is a good time to give your wildest ambitions some free rein.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Intoxicating chemistry with an ideal partner is impressive. The ties of affection that are forged now might become permanent. Yet at the same time, you must guard against a misunderstanding about possessions or money.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Rest on your laurels. Don’t jump on a high horse and let enthusiasms run away with you this weekend. Under these stars you may feel an urge to start something risky without making the proper preparations.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Enjoy the royal treatment. You might feel like running your household and directing the action like the king of his castle. Roll out the red carpet for guests, or put your feet up and let someone wait on you for a change.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Exert extra effort to be sympathetic and generous. Ignore that little voice that urges you to do the selfish or underhanded thing. Your stamina and ability to cope with emergencies is at its best this weekend.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concentrate on essential subjects. Don’t allow small emotional concerns to cloud your judgment. Pump up the heart rate with exercise or a trip through gorgeous scenery and take a friend along for the ride.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Longrange financial planning might be right up your alley as this weekend commences. Your ambitions and goal-seeking ways won’t interfere with fun or an ongoing romance. Friends may bring benefits.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Spread yourself around like butter. High energy and a happy attitude seem to be contagious, so people will enjoy your company.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Get an itchy finger off the trigger. Avoid showdowns and confrontations. Loved ones or personal contacts could be restless or confusing. Strive to attain a reasonable balance between sympathy and trustworthiness.
If September 2 is your birthday: Focus on business, finance, and material success during the next four to five weeks. Expect smooth sailing with your business and financial affairs while your skillful negotiation techniques pay off with more money in the bank. You may be more romantic and creative than usual as the next six to eight months unfold. You may be recognized for your leadership abilities in January, when your chances of obtaining a new position due to a spectacular interview or finding the soul mate of your dreams are enhanced. Big improvements in your life are possible if you embrace an opportunity for advancement or accept wise advice from a mentor.
