HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017:

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

This year offers many opportunities that stem from those you know. Personal exchanges and a better sense of direction help you bond more easily. Be willing to make a dream a reality. If you are single, you will meet someone with ease. But alas, is this the right person? Time will be your friend in the pursuit of your answer. If you are attached, the two of you consciously achieve a long-term goal, which could involve a special trip or travel of some sort. TAURUS could be even more stubborn than you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Opt to incorporate a more mental or spiritual slant into your day. A conversation over a meal or even just walking can root out more of your feelings toward an older or creative person. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your steadfast perspective allows greater stability, making risk-taking more acceptable and less destabilizing. A loved one wants to tap into your perspective. Appreciate this person’s sensitivity while helping him or her support him- or herself. Tonight: Incorporate a favorite dessert.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

One-on-one relating elicits more vulnerability and authenticity. However, be sure to take some personal time for yourself. Building a stronger tie with greater security will be the natural outcome. Tonight: Time for some celebration!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You could be wondering how to bring up a hot topic with a certain group of friends. There might not be a “right” way; just dive right in. Ask for a loved one’s feedback, if need be. Be careful, as others’ responses are not likely to be what you had anticipated. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could see a personal matter in a new light once you start opening up and discussing it with someone who has had a similar experience. Often there is a discrepancy between how we view a personal matter and what others see. Be more willing to listen to what others have to say. Tonight: Your treat.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could see a personal issue much differently from how you have in the recent past. Others discover how much more relaxed and understanding you have become. These qualities were always in you, but you didn’t choose to express them until now. Tonight: Don’t resist a new experience!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relate directly to one individual and understand more of his or her logic. You cannot change what is going on, but you can accept it. You might realize that recent events were not directed toward you. Tonight: Be a duo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Understand the impor- tance of a discussion that someone else initiates. You might not be able to change the conversation, but you can gain insight into this person. Don’t take this relationship for granted. Tonight: Stay centered, but process the topic at hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You could be in the midst of a major change. Others might not be as aware of what has been going on as you might like. Be open, and you’ll gain a better perspective of what to do and when. An older friend could be demanding. Tonight: Someone admires you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Deal directly with a loved one who means a lot to you; he or she often has been a source of unusual yet valid ideas. Investigate new possibilities without committing. Your creativity surges because of this person. Tonight: Break past a self-imposed restriction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A personal matter could occupy your time. You might want to spend more time at home with your family. Some of you will opt for some extra R and R. Whatever you choose to do, you will want to keep matters uncomplicated. Tonight: Special time for a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Others seek you out. Fortunately, you might be more receptive than you have been in the recent past. Once you finish a round of calls, texts and emails, make or confirm plans to be with a favorite person. As social as you are, you need quality time with a loved one. Tonight: Add more spice to a bond.
