For Saturday, Sept. 2

Those with birthdays today: You have the wherewithal and the strength to come through when the chips are down. Close associates might think you are unusually argumentative, one-sided or tough. Rather than look at these allegations as negative, use them positively. The quality of your personal life and a key bond demand attention. If you are single, you still might opt to buy a home or change your living situation. Could a new person play into this decision? If you are attached, it’s likely that you need change in your domestic life in order to work with a partner’s needs. SAGITTARIUS might slow you down this year.

Use the daylight hours for getting together with friends or to clear out some shopping. You are the happiest among friends and crowds. Why expose yourself to anything else? Tonight: Wind down.
