Happy Birthday for Friday, Sept. 27, 2024:

You make a lasting, favorable impression on others, even though privately you might question yourself. You are complex and set high standards for yourself. This year your accomplishments will be recognized. Expect power and leadership. Seize opportunities and act on them. Awards and acknowledgement will be yours.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
Today you need to be yourself — exactly who you are. This is why it’s hard for you to hide your feelings from others. You might be a bit more emotional in your personal relationships, especially romantic ones. You also might feel protective or nurturing to children or someone who needs care. Tonight: Rest.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Grab any chance to retire by yourself to your own private place. You will welcome this. It’s a good time to search inside and look at your attitudes, feelings and your emotional take on the world around you. Or you might prefer to relax at home among familiar surroundings. Tonight: Get organized.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
Today you have a strong urge to talk to others and communicate your ideas. However, you want to find someone who will listen to you in a genuine way. You don’t want to waste time with superficial chitchat. You need a meaningful communication. Tonight: Socialize!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Today it’s easy to identify with what you own. This might be why you’re less willing to let someone use something you own. You also might find yourself in a position where you have to defend your values or defend why you choose to buy something. (I hate that.) Tonight: Cocoon.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
Today the Moon is in your sign, which happens for two and a half days every month. This brings you good fortune; however, it also makes you feel more emotional than usual. You will also feel a great need to belong and relate to friends or loved ones. “Wait for me!” Tonight: Conversations.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
You might not feel like socializing today. Instead, you prefer privacy in beautiful surroundings with good food and drink. And why not? It’s also a good day to explore some kind of mystical or spiritual discipline, because you will understand these ideas at a basic, gut level. Tonight: Check your money.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Friendships will be important to you today. Perhaps a friend has something personal and meaningful to share. Possibly a friend from the past is once again prominent in your life. You might feel jealous if a friend pays attention to someone else. (We’ve all been there.) Tonight: Talk to someone.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Today your professional and business concerns take priority. However, in a curious way, some people will know personal details about your private life. Or you might have a public argument that others witness. (Hissing in an elevator. Everyone can hear you.) Tonight: Solitude.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Today you want to get away from all this. You need a change of scenery. Stimulation and adventure! If you can’t travel (which would be ideal), then go someplace different. A new coffee shop, a different store, a new park or take a different route home. Shake things up a little. Tonight: Be friendly.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Today your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. You might feel jealous. Or you might envy someone and desire what they have. This is a never-ending loop because there is no end to better. Wrap up details with bills, taxes and shared property. Tonight: Be courteous.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Today the Moon turns your attention to your personal relationships. Close friends and partners will be more important to you than usual. However, conflicts with these people will also be more emotional! Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Tonight: Explore!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Today you might do a favor for someone or work for the benefit of someone else. You’re not a martyr; it’s just what it is. You also might focus on ways to improve your health and your hygiene. “Every day in every way I’m getting better and better.” Tonight: Check your finances.
