YOUR HOROSCOPE

Birthday Gal:

Actress Monica Bellucci was born in Umbria, Italy today in 1964. This birthday gal played Persephone in two films of “The Matrix” franchise. Her other film work includes roles in “Spectre,” “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” and “The Passion of the Christ.” She’s also worked as a fashion model since she was 13. Bellucci has two children from her marriage to actor Vincent Cassel.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

The New Moon is in your opposite sign, switching the focus to relationships. You may become aware of how others influence your thoughts and ideas. Purchase only timeless classics.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Be poised to accept applause for your originality. If you are willing to test out something new or to experiment with innovations you might strike the right chord with your admirers.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Spend your spare time with family or trusted friends. A desire for something more exciting might nip at your heels but you really shouldn’t engage in a romantic fling under these stars.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Loyalty is better than luck to lighten the load. There is a comforting sense of security in the tried and true. Enjoy community gatherings or lectures or visit an old friend or elderly relative.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Play ball. An inspiring pep talk can be just what is needed to get an idea or project out of the locker room and onto the playing field. Family members will be rooting for your team.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Redefine your roles, not the rules. Embrace any opportunities that come your way. An understanding partner may inspire you or encourage you to stretch your wings further than usual.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Today’s New Moon occurs in your zodiac sign. Your willingness to please others may be accentuated, but blind you to business pitfalls. Scrutinize documents carefully before signing them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

To win the lottery first you must buy a ticket. Something beneficial can be put in motion to improve your finances. Back up words with deeds to ensure that plans run like clockwork.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Don’t take good luck for granted. Be sure to follow up on agreements and show gratitude for support. Widen your network and a new idea will easily grow wings and fly.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Stick to the plan so you don’t lose traction. The harder you work the more you will profit. Become educated about the good things in life or hook up with people who broaden your viewpoint.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You may fear being vulnerable. You might ignore a financial drain because you have already set a goal. Revaluate your objectives. Focus on financial resources that are lasting.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Don’t fix something that isn’t broken. Passing spats may not be really as important as you think. Put the “r” back in romance later this evening. Your hopes will be realized if you don’t intervene.

If September 30 is your birthday:

Lady Luck is on your side throughout the next six to eight weeks. Use your best judgment or ask for expert guidance as you make major decisions or positive changes. You might be invited to join a group, but it is possible that the members are not aligned with your most important guiding principles. November might be a good time for a pleasant vacation or a romantic getaway for two. In January concentrate on getting your finances and career in tip-top shape so that your bank account will be able to withstand scrutiny.
