HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020: Enigmatic, purist and performative, you have a powerful effect on people. Puzzling to some, worshipped by others, this year you straighten things out, and in the latter half you achieve stellar career success. If single, you yearn to have one partner when you have several. If attached, you might find yourself especially demanding DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker of your partner this year. Let him or her breathe, and bliss will be attained. LIBRA needs harmony.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Develop patience and use your experience before acting on security mat- ters. Guesswork isn’t a good idea today for exuberant Aries.

SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Today brings a further focus on your individuality. Your person- ality opens doors. Devote attention to goals that really matter. Shop for bargains and pursue ways to add to your earning powers. Your desire to learn leads you to worthwhile discoveries. Tonight: Up late and excited. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords  Keep a sense of humor during social situations. Today is a pivot for tense aspects. A kind word or ignoring a slip-up from another is wisest now.
