HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 30, 2018:

This year is especially exciting. At times, you choose to respond impulsively. You seem ready to take off at the drop of a hat. You also will learn a lot, as you naturally seem to absorb information through osmosis. If you are single, you will want to be with someone who is willing to take risks and greet adventure with a smile. You could meet this person this year. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other's company more than ever. Boredom between you will not be a problem. GEMINI cheers you on and encourages you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Speak your mind, and allow more creativity into your life. Others appreciate your authority. You could be overthinking a conversation. Relax more. Use some of your innate charm and wit, and success is likely to follow. Tonight: Try not to let a reversal get to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might be close to someone who feels as if he or she is quite the authority figure. This person can get stubborn and stuck on having his or her way. Walk away from controlling people, and you'll be much happier. Curb a tendency to overspend. Tonight: Treat someone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Reach out to someone you really care about but often don't make time for. Reverse that tendency,

and you will be much more content and easygoing. You share many common interests with this person, yet you live different lives. Open up more. Tonight: Only as you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might want to make an effort to turn around a story that keeps repeating itself. You might be confused by what a friend says. Are you getting mixed signals? Understand what is needed to clarify the situation. A partner could become controlling. Tonight: Accept an offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have the magnetism and energy to bring others together for a fun, spontaneous get-together. Do not hold back; instead, open up to new possibilities. You might be surprised at what the energy

between you and a partner can create. Tonight: Only where your friends are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could be in a pickle, as you deal with a problem regarding communication and a boss. You certainly don't look at life the same way. Rather than create a problem, decide to understand where this person is coming from. Others appreciate your efforts. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be willing to make an effort to break with some of your conventional ways. Those around you will enjoy witnessing this transformation. Conversations become easier as others realize that you are trying to understand them. Tonight: Call someone you care a lot about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be more direct and surer of yourself. You might not like what comes up for you when dealing with a partner. In some ways, you are very different from this person, yet this difference allows you to get to know each other better. Tonight: Go with the flow, and smile! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others seek you out before you can even get on the phone. Be appreciative that those around you are so assertive right now. You will have many choices to make. Do what you want to do, and don't be intimidated into doing what someone else wants. Tonight: In the limelight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might need to adjust your plans so that you don't miss out on a fun time. Still, you cannot ignore your obligations. Enjoying some lightness and frivolous fun helps you energize. Worry less. You will get a lot done after your break. Tonight: Call it early, if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your innate playfulness and childlike spirit emerge. You will enjoy laughter and being around lighthearted people; you also need an outlet for your high energy. Take a walk or get into a preferred hobby or sport. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

If you feel anger bubbling up, take a break and head in a different direction. If possible, avoid expressing your strong feelings until you know where they're coming from. Avoid a big problem by distancing yourself. Tonight: Happily at home.
