Even a few unexpected Labour Day weekend visitors fail to throw you. The Full Moon on the 21st unearths a hidden talent. For now, just explore the new options it opens up.

It's lights, camera - yet still no action on the career front. You know how you want the script to go. Getting others to share your vision is another story. Around the 11th, though, you should be able to make a new deal. After the 14th it's easy to get a wire crossed, especially in money matters. Sit down with a partner and get the books straight. Once that's done, set some cash aside to throw an A-list bash on the 24th. You're the star attraction, which suits you just fine.

Labour Day brings firecrackers - which about sums up your energy now. Channel it into lighting a fire under your own or a loved one's financial situation. Don't make too much noise at work, though. Those in charge won't appreciate your critical outbursts. Focus on romance around the 12th. If unattached, a chance meeting could have long-term potential. This person enjoys screening current hopes and aspirations. Just make sure any co-star helps further the plot, not hinder it.
Adam Sandler - Virgo
born September 9, 1966, Brooklyn, NY

Off-the-wall humor is not a usual Virgo trait. Still, on screen and off, Adam can at times demonstrate a certain laid-back quality. He also has the easy-going charm of his sign, much like fellow Virgos Hugh Grant and Sean Connery. But what's with his ability to seemingly portray a hundred different off-kilter personalities at once? Blame it on the planet Uranus, so prominent in his chart, which also gives him the ability to play the perennial outsider. There's a vulnerable quality that makes audiences identify with him, no matter how far out the character he's playing. This comes from his Moon in Cancer. Women will always find him irresistible, and want to mother him. Adam's been having difficulty finding a vehicle for his talents of the calibre of The Wedding Singer. This year marks a
professional turning point for him. Look for the writing skills he honed as part of Saturday Night Live troupe to come out. You'll also find him asserting his vision more assertively in the producer's chair, with some high-scoring box office results.

Charm, the ultimate Libra trait - you've got it in spades this month. Pick up your cues when given the perfect social situations in which to dazzle.

Remember "To thine own self be true" in negotiations.

Summer's over, but the doldrums linger for you. It's a temporary state, though! Mark the 3rd to 10th and get ready to roll.

The black cloud lifts, and you regain your usual serene spirits. Just make live and let live your motto. Then let the good times roll! The 7-12th could be especially liberating, with plenty of impromptu social gatherings. Kick up your heels. If you're free, a few strategically aimed come-hither looks won't go unnoticed, either. The pace quickens even more after the 21st. Be bold, but avoid a power struggle you don't have a hope of winning.
