Your Birthday for September 15, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 15th, 2021

Born today, you are more misunderstood or misinterpreted than most individuals born under your sign because you do not make a point of advertising yourself and your work, beliefs and opinions to others as so many do. Rather, you let your actions speak for you, and if others cannot come to understand you by observing what you do -- rather than what you say -- then that certainly speaks more to their own shortcomings than it does about you in any way.

When it comes to the personal, you are a no-nonsense individual who makes it clear that you are who you are, come what may -- and others are certainly entitled to their opinions of you. And in your professional affairs you are just as uncomplicated. When you accept a job of any kind, you can be counted on to see it through to the bitter end.

Also born on this date are: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex; Tommy Lee Jones, actor; Marco Polo, explorer; Dan Marino, football player; Agatha Christie, mystery writer; Oliver Stone, screenwriter and director.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You deserve credit today for something you did yesterday, but if it doesn't come your way, you must still be ready to move forward quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be unwilling to laugh at yourself today, and you must make sure no one takes advantage of this on a psychological level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your strength comes from an understanding that things will get better when the time comes -- and what you do today can make it happen sooner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have trouble sharing your ideas in a clear and effective way today -- but someone who knows you well can help you tremendously.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not have covered all your bases recently, which means that today someone may be taking advantage of the weaknesses in your defenses.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't sit back and let others hog the spotlight today. There's plenty that you can do when you get the attention you deserve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't let others push you around today -- even if only in fun. Things can get out of hand very quickly if you overlook certain rules.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll likely respond to things on a deeply personal level today. Your perspective may be skewed by the memory of a past experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can make accelerated progress today but find yourself no closer to a certain key goal. Someone may have changed the rules.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You mustn't let yourself be caught up in the kind of heated competition that has attracted others today. You'd much rather go it alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your view of things may be threatened today by someone's surprise performance -- and, more to the point, the surprising results they get.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be able to agree with a rival on all points, but on one in particular you are of like minds. This allows you to make progress.

Your Birthday for September 14, 2021

Your Birthday | September 14th, 2021

Born today, you are never afraid to speak your mind -- especially when your beliefs or opinions are likely to rock the boat in some way. You are never one to compromise when you feel that to do so would be to cause harm -- and as far as you are concerned, the most harmful thing in all the world is ignorance. For this reason, you are compelled to learn all you can about other people and the world in which they live.

Your behavior can be erratic when your feelings become more powerful than your thoughts -- and when this happens, it is safe to assume you are grappling with that oldest of human emotions -- love. While you are usually consistent and reliable, when you are in love you can be far more unpredictable -- though no less productive -- than usual.

Also born on this date are: Amy Winehouse, singer; Michael Crabtree, football player; Sam Neill, actor; Clayton Moore, actor; Emma Kenney, actress; Walter Koenig, actor; Faith Ford, actress; Margaret Sanger, civil rights leader.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can make amends with someone from afar, and if you do, you'll be able to free yourself from something that's been holding you back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are rules to be followed today, and though they may not have been established with you in mind, they can serve you well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must ensure that you are truly ready today before trying something new. Reading about it in books is certainly not enough to keep you safe!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Follow your instincts today, and you'll be on the right path before you know it. Is this the direction you want to go? You know the answer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have good reason to tally a number of past "firsts" that you've enjoyed -- but now is the time to look forward, not back, if possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be able to explore something new and different, and though you may not want to take it on permanently, today it gives you a certain high.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- That which others find exciting and inspirational today isn't likely to do it for you -- and this is something you'll want to examine further.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your sense of humor may get you into hot water today; the lesson you learn is one you can apply to all manner of situations moving forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to let someone in on a secret -- but before you do, you'll want to ensure that you have pertinent, up-to-date information.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to spend some time alone, but today may not afford you the opportunity -- and you mustn't insist on it, either.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll come to understand that the difference between the old and the new isn't all that expansive today. Indeed, where do you draw the line?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You understand another's motives better than most, but that doesn't mean you're in a position to insert yourself into the situation directly.

Your Birthday for September 13, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | September 13th, 2021

Born today, you can be counted on to do things first, as you are one of the motivated, forward-thinking and proactive individuals born under your sign. Where others see obstacles, you see opportunity, and you will charge forward knowing full well that you will have to tackle many difficulties in your pursuit of excellence and achievement -- especially in those situations in which others are more likely to hang back, turn back or avoid engaging altogether.

You have a way of reaching other people on an emotional level, and you speak to them in nonverbal ways that are far more impactful and important, over a much longer period of time, than any words you could possibly utter. Because of this, you are the kind of person to influence others based on mere acquaintance; you don't have to know people well to inspire them in some way.

Also born on this date are: Roald Dahl, author; Milton S. Hershey, entrepreneur; Ben Savage, actor; Fiona Apple, singer; Stella McCartney, designer; Michael Johnson, Olympic athlete; Jacqueline Bisset, actress; Nell Carter, actress and singer.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be able to deflect blame for the time being, but someone is going to know the truth -- and challenge you to face the whole truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An accident leads you in a new direction today, and once you figure out just exactly what went wrong, you'll be able to overcome a new challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What goes around comes around, if not right away, then later, surely, and today you will enjoy a clear demonstration of the truth of the adage.

CANCER (June 20-July 22) -- You may be underestimating someone's power right now, and it's likely you will find yourself at a professional disadvantage as a result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may discover that you have less in common with an old friend now than you once did -- but this is no secret. It's time to explore options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to give a little extra today in order to prove to a critic that you haven't reached your limit. This is easier said than done!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Some kind of public display is likely to strike you the wrong way today -- but it's not something you should try to talk about just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- An announcement is made today, and a promise kept -- but then something happens that sets you on a strange, alternate course temporarily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be part of bringing people together under the banner of a common cause today. Your powers of persuasion are at an all-time high.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An apology might not be enough at first, but when you and a friend have talked through this misunderstanding, all will be well once again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You and a co-worker may explore more than cooperation today, whether or not you want to. You'll have to address the chemistry between you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is no time to make empty threats -- or empty promises. You must dig deep right now to make sure you're being entirely genuine.
