HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 Mars Enters Virgo
According to columnist L.M. Boyd, “There are 350 varieties of shark, not counting loan and pool.” Sharks have many excellent qualities, as they groom certain marine populations to the right size, keeping ecosystems intact. Beyond that they are efficient, focused and in nonstop forward motion, just like Mars
ARIESis when (Marchin the realm 21-Aprilof Virgo.19) . If you’re constantly questioning the deal or the relationship, it’s not a problem but a recurring theme and an excellent indicator that change will be beneficial or perhaps even necessary.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re about to work very hard, so take the time to investigate the job beforehand to be sure it’s work worth doing. Mostly this is about excellent communication.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The way you think and feel about someone will be reflected in your actions even when you’re trying to hide it. The extra charge that your feelings add to the mix will infuse the atmosphere with a crackling excitement.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s easy to have a good attitude while participating in leisure, but it’s the people who have a good attitude when fighting in the trenches (or, more likely, waiting in line at the DMV) whom you really want on your side.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This very productive day follows a pattern: You take action then let it go, take action and then let it go. Tonight, you’ll be surprised by what you have in common with someone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To explain things well is to become more powerful. And if you can write down or otherwise record your explanations, it’s like you’re able to be in many places at once.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One way to make something better than it seems to be is, quite simply, to love it. Your attention gives a thing value. And the high value you assign may be only your personal estimation, but something about it will stick.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your purpose is simple. You want to make people happy. You want to see them smile. You’ll achieve the aim, though you should know that in a few cases there will be basic needs to address before this can happen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re a connector of people. The fabulous thing about that is that when you bring people together, you’re the thing they all have in common, so you’ll be the topic of conversation in a good way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The common thread through all of your achievements: You didn’t arrive through pure willpower. Willpower runs out. You were powered by a strong emotional need, a need that can still drive you if you let it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The vision is foggy, but you can clear it up as easily as a person putting on glasses. Your “eyeglass prescription” will come in the form of an objective person with experience.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Getting overwhelmed is easy. All you have to do is focus on everything at once. Give more focus to the things that are going wrong and bam! Instant panic. To be cool and effective, do the opposite. Focus on one thing at a time.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). The universe has reserved some magic just for you. The next four months will open possibilities you didn’t even know existed. With so much to appreciate, you’ll hardly know how to prioritize. With a motto of putting people first and putting gratitude in action, you can’t go wrong. A promotion comes in January. Scorpio and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 14, 28, 11 and 9.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’m an air sign (Libra). Does this mean I’m an airhead?”
Only in the sense that your head is always full of ideas, and ideas have that elusive, ethereal quality to them. The air signs -- Gemini, Libra and Aquarius -- are the thinkers of the zodiac. You may find yourself staring off into space, lost in deep thought as you analyze the solution to end world hunger, but to someone passing by your office you look like you’re just zoning out and goofing off. Well, what is thinking supposed to look like? Alas, to be brilliant is to be misunderstood! Don’t let it get you down, and (SET ITAL) please (END ITAL) don’t overanalyze this to death like you are prone to do. You’ll only drive yourself crazy. This world needs your intellect, eloquence and sense of justice for all. Just don’t forget to come back down to terra firma to ground your ideas in reality. Ideas can only benefit others once they’re shared and no longer the exclusive property of your mind. Today’s an excellent time to stop thinking and start doing so the world can recognize and reward you.
