Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024:
You are focused and thoughtful. You are observant and have strong opinions. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory of your life — past times and foibles. Let go of whatever has been holding you back.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★
Today it’s important to follow rules and regulations, and certainly the law. After all, ideally, the law protects our society and prevents it from being utter chaos. Pay attention today at work and also when travelling. In fact, if travelling, respect local customs. Tonight: Pay attention.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
You will have to be serious about financial matters today and anything to do with shared property, inheritances or insurance issues. There is no room for a margin of error. You might feel boxed in by rules and regulations. Demands might be difficult to meet. It is what it is. Tonight: Check your finances.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Tread carefully when dealing with family members today, especially parents, older relatives or a boss if you’re dealing with a family business. People are not particularly easygoing or forgiving today. Therefore, it’s good to know this so you don’t try to steal second base. Tonight: Cooperate.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★
For those of you at work today, be respectful and follow the rules. This is not the day to ask for permission or approval for anything. Instead, look busy and efficient, and be cooperative. Some days you can take a chance and try for the Moon, but not today. Tonight: Work.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Children might be an increased responsibility today. Likewise, details pertaining to vacations and social events might be a strain. Or perhaps you’re dealing with sports events or something related to the arts. Whatever the case, you’ve got enough on your plate today. Tonight: Relax.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★
You are powerful now because the Sun and your ruler Mercury are in your sign. Nevertheless, your relationships with family members, as well as partners and close friends, might be challenging today. Knowing this ahead of time, tread carefully. Listen before you speak. Test the waters. Tonight: Cocoon.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Although you feel communicative today and keen to learn new things, you might feel restricted in some way when dealing with someone older or more experienced. You’re smart to be aware of the demands of others and play it safe. Tonight: Listen.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
You might encounter a squeeze play when dealing with finances, cash flow or your possessions today. Someone or something might stop you from doing what you want to do. Money might be withheld. Be reassured that these restrictive influences are applying to everyone in different ways today. (Bummer.) Tonight: Check your money.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Be accommodating when dealing with parents, bosses or authority figures today (including the police), because this is the kind of day where you have very little leeway. You have to walk the line and pay attention. People are judgmental today, and that’s the way it is. Tonight: Observe.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Don’t worry if you feel a bit anxious today or down on yourself. These feelings are rampant with millions of people today. Each one of us has reasons why we are apprehensive and worried. Many people feel cut off and depressed. Fortunately, this is a fleeting thing that is strong today. Tonight: Privacy.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Some kind of financial squeeze play might oppress you today. Someone might owe you money. Conversely, they might do something that costs you money. Someone might demand money from you. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Tonight: Be friendly.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
It’s important to know that you are high-viz today, because at the same time, you will be dealing with some challenges as you relate to partners, spouses and close friends, even members of the general public. Cope as best you can and be aware that people notice you more than usual. Heads up. Tonight: Show respect.
