Stylish optimist
Your birthday indicates that you are independent and friendly, possessing great creative potential, and are socially inclined. With a need to express yourself, you are usually good with words, but you may have to guard against scattering your energy on too many interests or wasting it on worry and indecision.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Taurus, love and affection are important to you. Practical and articulate, you possess a thirst for knowledge and can be very charming. An appreciation of beauty and form bestows good taste and an ability to enjoy art, nature, and the good things in life. Although you have excellent communication skills and the ability to pay attention to detail, you may have to avoid continually going over the same small issues and thus becoming overcritical or anxious. Fortunately, this influence also bestows a natural business sense that can help you succeed in your rise to the top.
At times you can be extremely warm and optimistic, and at others you can become cold and irritable, especially if you do not have positive goals. Although naturally intuitive, you may have to overcome a skepticism toward spiritual matters. Your intellectual brightness, however, is likely to lead you to explore many avenues in your quest for wisdom.
Your progressed Sun moves into Libra during your early childhood, accenting a need to be appreciated. Your relationships are likely to play a particularly important role in your life up to the age of thirty-one, when there is a turning point as your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio. This influence increases your personal power, making you more determined and in control. After sixty-one, when the progressed Sun moves forward into the sign of Sagittarius, you become more philosophical, freedom-loving, and adventurous.

Al Kaid imparts an active mind, a need for creative expression, intuitiveness, and an ability to adapt easily to new situations. You probably enjoy exchanging thoughts and ideas but may have a tendency to change your mind easily. This star indicates an aptitude for business and a fondness for power; and may grant opportunities for success, luck, and wealth.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, Al Kaid’s influence imparts a talent for business and points to success in dealing with the general public. You are inclined toward dealing with data, research, or exacting work that requires attention to detail. Al Kaid also tends to make you restless and ambitious and, at times, ruthless in your desire to reach the top. This star also gives a talent for criticism, which should be used in a positive way.
• Positive:active mind, good grasp or perception, sympathetic, kind, work with children
• Negative:criticism, gossip, worry, sensitive, nerves, propensity for lying, impatience, moody, overcritical
Although you possess a good sense of values, you may need to overcome recurring doubts that undermine your confidence. By learning to use your intuitive powers, you can develop your faith and depend on your inner resources. You have an inner dignity and pride that cause you to dislike failure, but if afraid to take chances, you can reduce the likelihood of fulfilling your potential. As you can get bored easily, you need to find something that challenges and stimulates you. It is through perseverance and persistence that you can achieve your goals.
Usually versatile and successful, you can be impulsive, with an extravagant streak. If you take this into account, you will be able to control the fluctuations in your finances. A need for change and a desire to get away from restrictive circumstances can spur you to investigate many paths in your quest for satisfaction. This can include travel and work that can widen your horizons and provide you with new opportunities.
Since a major part of your life centers on your work, it is important to make the most of your outstanding potential. Your consummate skill with words can help you excel as a writer or salesperson. Similarly, you can prosper as an agent, lawyer, actor, or politician, or in publishing. The creative abilities shown by your birthday can also find successful expression through music or singing. Alternatively, your natural business sense can help you in the world of commerce, where you are likely to take a creative approach to your work. You need to avoid monotonous occupations and may fare better when using your people skills. A desire to help others may manifest through counseling or teaching.
Famous people who share your birthday include authors Stephen King and H. G. Wells, singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, writer/journalist Shirley Conran, actors Bill Murray and Larry Hagman, and composer Gustav Hoist.

The stellar influences that govern those born on this day endow September 21 people with an unusual combination of characteristics and tendencies. On the one hand these intellectually progressive people are fascinated with the unusual and innovative, and are therefore drawn to the exploration of novel subjects at which more conventional types might balk. On the other hand they are sensuous types, who possess a highly developed aesthetic sense, as well as receptiveness to others. Not only do they feel compelled to seek out new experiences, but their appreciation of the potency of artistic media as powerful means of expression gives them the potential to make their highly original mark on the world as writers, composers, artists or movie-makers. They are aided in their quest to realize their extremely original ambitions by their strong practical and organizational skills, qualities that also equip them well for more technical or administrative careers.
Although their overriding preoccupation with their private visions inevitably sets September 21 people apart from the crowd, their ultimate aim is to share their discoveries or viewpoints with others. This con- cern often takes a spiritual or intellectual slant, so that while they may communicate their ideas simply, their messages are often extremely profound, (and even more so if they were born in the Chinese year of the pig). Nevertheless, they are frequently misunderstood, causing them either to withdraw further into their solitary world or to become discouraged or depressed. The unconditional love and support of those closest to them is therefore of great importance in bolstering their self-confidence.
