Quiet change-maker
Your birthday suggests you are practical and friendly, a sharp and determined individual with strong willpower. An amiable companion, you are socially inclined and good company. As you possess the desire to constantly expand and improve yourself, you need only be clear about your goals to achieve success. This birthdate points to creative power as well as a capacity to overcome obstacles and perform record achievements.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Capricorn, you possess good concentration and a mind that assimilates and discriminates. Realistic and hardworking, you are methodical and a good organizer. Possessing a natural business sense, you have a no-nonsense approach and communicate in a clear and precise manner. Although reliable and thorough, you may have to avoid fault-finding or becoming stuck in a routine.
Ambitious, active, and productive, you are not apt to feel like a victim of destiny. Although you are persistent and enduring, avoid tasks that leave no room for new experiences. Being proud, you may have to refrain from being condescending to others; if tense, you may become irritable and frustrated. Luckily, you are also talented and quick-witted and can be the life and soul of the party. The more inspired among those born on this date often find self- expression through a love of art, music, or literature.
From childhood you are likely to be interested in analyzing situations in order to better understand and improve them. After the age of nineteen, as your progressed Sun moves into Libra for a thirty-year period, you gradually become more aware of the importance of your social relationships and partnerships. Your creative abilities are enhanced, and you may be drawn to develop any latent musical, artistic, or literary interests. At the age of forty-nine you reach another life turning point as your progressed Sun enters Scorpio. This brings a strong emphasis on a deeper need for change, transformation, and personal power.

Alioth endows good judgment, a zest for life, and love of ease and comfort. Often you are broad-minded and inclined toward liberalism. This star imparts ambition to win, a competitive nature, and a constant need for activity. Alioth also imparts a talent for criticism and suggests that it should be used constructively.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, Alioth’s influence indicates an aptitude for business, sport, government posts, and dealing with the public. It can also stimulate thoroughness and the ability to exploit every situation, but warns against irritability and overconfidence.
• Positive:genuine, frank, endurance, can overcome disappointment
• Negative:ruthlessness, egoism, destructiveness, obstinacy, overcritical
Your assertive and confident front often hides your sensitivity. Although at times you can be very concerned with material issues, it is through trusting your intuition that you can overcome a doubting or skeptical outlook. Although you need regular periods of rest or retreat, you may have to be careful not to isolate yourself. If you feel emotionally down, there is a danger you may become cold, obstinate, or domineering in your attempt to keep control of outside circumstances. When inspired, however, you are daring, fast, competitive, and spontaneous, truly able to express your sharp insight in a fun and creative way.
Your innate wisdom can manifest as natural authority, and your razor-sharp mind and love of knowledge endow you with an ability to deal with any situation. Possessing a strong personality and the potential for self-mastery, you have a power and strength that can uplift others and help you achieve your inspired dreams.
You enjoy power, structure, and efficiency, and you can excel particularly in business as an organizer, manager, or executive. Possessing a gift with words, you may also accomplish through law, writing, education, or politics. Communication in all forms, however, is likely to be part of your natural work experience. An amiable charm can also be of great assistance in your dealings with others and guarantees your success in people-related careers. Being very thorough and painstaking in your approach may attract you to research, science, or technical work. Since you are very independent and do not like taking orders, you may prefer being your own boss or delegating to others. A straightforward, matter-of-fact attitude may guarantee that you do not waste time but aim straight for your objectives.

An inclination to get bored easily, however, may cause you to become indecisive or spread yourself thin. Nevertheless, you are usually artistic and charming, with a good sense of humor. A talent with words may manifest through speaking, writing, or singing. Since you may need to develop self-esteem, guard against tendencies toward worry and other emotional insecurities. The subinfluence of the number 9 month indicates that you have good reasoning powers and are highly intuitive.

You are often a tower of support for others, and your own need for love is not always obvious from your confident personality. Though you are usually attracted to powerful yet creative individuals, avoid martyring yourself. Since you are independent, at times you can be ambiguous about love, but once you settle down you can be faithful and caring.

Those born on this day are remarkably determined individuals, a quality that those who do not know them well may not recognize until particular situations arise in which they demonstrate their readiness to adopt combative methods. Generally, however, they prefer a conciliatory and affable manner, believing that more will be achieved by communication than by confrontation: this personal style, however effective, may lead others to misjudge their strength of purpose. Blessed with mercurial and independent minds, a highly developed sense of natural justice and empathy for the downtrodden, and enormous technical and organizational talents, September 3 people are especially interested in finding practical solutions to the problems that beset humanity. They may thus gravitate toward professions where they can help others to make tangible progress, or at least live their lives more happily, and careers as engineers, scientific researchers, artists and in sports are particularly well starred.
Those born on this day bring to all their endeav- ors their astute perceptiveness, tolerance, patience and tenacity, as well as their desire to set everything—or everyone—that they encounter on a smoothly run- ning path. This propensity is especially pronounced within their personal lives (and even more so if they are women), and their friends and family members appreciate the support and understanding that they readily offer. Yet despite their typically quiet and understated manner, these people are no pushovers, a caveat that applies as much to their private as to their professional liaisons.
