A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 2014: This year you will make the right choices for you. You also will be able to mend a relationship by experiencing it through someone else’s eyes. As a result, you will be more sensitive when dealing with others. Focus on your long-term goals. Clear out what does not work in your life. You will be able to land on your feet, no matter what happens. If you are single, you could meet someone through a friend, or perhaps a friend becomes more. If you are attached, know that the friendship is as impor- tant as the romance. CANCER is a loyal friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5- Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH A smile says a lot, and it adds to others’ willingness to approach you. You are known for having a hot temper. You could be stressed out by a new demand. Perhaps you want to consider say- ing ”no” to any new responsibilities. Tonight: Join a friend for some munchies. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Your ability to express yourself clearly will emerge. A loved one is likely to be quite touched by your caring. Know what is necessary to make a situation workable. Allow greater creativity to flow through all aspects of your life, not just a few. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You might worry a lot about a family member and how he or she relates to a mutual friend of yours. Even if there is some kind of fric- tion, you need to accept both people as they are. Demonstrate caring, and the gap will be bridged. Tonight: Your treat. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You’ll beam despite someone’s un- predictability and ability to shake things up. At this point, this behavior is becoming predictable. Main- tain a sense of humor, but don’t laugh out loud. Tonight: Invite an older friend or family member to join you for dinner. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You might want to delay a conversation, as you will want to reflect a little more on your re- cent choices. Treat a friend or loved one to a late lunch. Let this person know how important he or she is. Your indulgence makes this person feel cared for. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH In a discussion with a friend, focus on the friendship instead of a minor issue. Your car- ing is likely to evolve to a new level. One-on-one relating draws excitement and unpredictability. Your smile could save the day in a tense situation. Tonight: Among the crowds. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You are in the limelight, and are enjoy- ing every moment. Understand that responsibilities naturally team up with this type of visibility; be ready to accept them gracefully. A partner or asso- ciate might not be as steady as you might like. Keep smiling. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Let your imagination play out, espe- cially in a project involving others. Share more of your feelings and thoughts with a close loved one. This person adores this part of your personality. Others might be overwhelmed. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You could be experiencing a lot of dif- ferent emotions, and might not know how to ex- press them to others. Don’t worry -- they probably already know, as they are very sensitive and pick up on your vibes with ease. Accept their caring. Tonight: How about dinner for two? CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You could be responding to someone’s strong stance instead of assuming control. You might need to learn to be as receptive as you are assertive. Understand that this experience might be more important for you than you realize. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You might feel the need to accomplish a lot, and you will. However, expect a certain amount of disruption from others. Choose to let calls go to voicemail right now to avoid getting entangled in a long conversation. Tonight: Off to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Look within before trying to manipu- late an associate or loved one. Why would you even need to do this? Let others make their own choices. By letting go, you will allow greater give- and-take between you and this person. Tonight: Make it romantic. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don’t embarrass myself. Especially around guys, I feel awkward and self-conscious. I feel OK about myself, but I still get nervous. Other girls find things to talk about to each other but not me, and guys never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too care- ful. I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I order it? — UNPOPULAR IN SACRAMENTO DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you from trying to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is NOT being pushy. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people of all ages. To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor- ris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips for be- coming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to know bet- ter. (If parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.) The key to being well-liked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give someone a compliment if you think it’s deserved. If you think you’re not beautiful (or handsome), be well-groomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project self-confi- dence.) If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are smarter than most, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask other people what they think and encourage them to share their opin- ions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport. Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your fam- ily values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, THANK God! ——— DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-year-old male, and I have no clue how to read women’s subtle in- terest cues, if they ever display any.

Since you are a woman, could you please be so kind as to give this man a clue what to look for?
