Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 18, 2017: This year you might be unusually driven yet not open to seeing the other side of an issue. If you are single, you are very attractive to the opposite sex, but you have a tendency to be very me-oriented. Don’t be surprised if potential sweeties opt to walk away. If you are attached, remember that a relationship is a two-way street. Include your sweetie as much as you can. A fellow Virgo can be very critical.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A surprise involving a child occupies your thoughts. You are fiery when dealing with your normal workload. You’ll want to take a timeout to demonstrate your affection. Try not to lean on your intuition too much today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your instincts have awakened you to a new possibility. You might be more insightful than you realize which is likely to cause someone else to back away. Don’t worry, you know how to make this person feel relaxed and understood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Tension surrounds you. Perhaps you and a loved one don’t see eye to eye on a home project. One of you might want to handle the matter yourself, while the other would like to take a more expensive approach. You need to decide whether the friction is worth it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You speak your mind in a way that you can be heard. You have a lot of passion for your ideas. Try not to be too pushy, and demonstrate more caring with how you approach the topic with others. A call from someone at a distance is likely to inspire you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be encouraged to spend more money than you had planned to. Your discomfort will be apparent. You might move too quickly and shock someone over a matter that involves both of you. Sharing more with this person shows your compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your strong personality emerges. Others see you as perceptive and direct, yet also caring and maybe even a bit sentimental. You can’t push someone too hard and expect him or her to be easygoing. Be more sensitive to this person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH You wish you had a stronger sense of being centred. Anger seems to emerge from out of nowhere. You might want to figure out when you have felt this same type of anger before. You will gain a lot of understanding as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on what you want. You could feel pushed by someone who is interested in what you are doing. You might be overreacting. Make sure that you are on the right path. A friend seems to be very irritable. Try to share your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could feel stressed out by a situation happening outside your home. This issue stems from work, or a community commitment. You’ll want to get everything done quickly, but you might not be able to. You’ll have to count on someone else’s goodwill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You have a lot to do, some of which is not your usual type of errand. Listen to your instincts if someone who seems to have more expertise pushes you too hard. You know when enough is enough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be deep into a meaningful conversation. Hopefully, the other party is as enthusiastic as you are. Express your trust and compassion, as it is likely to be returned. Use care with your funds; a mistake easily could happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Others seek you out, and you need to respond. You could be overwhelmed by someone else’s request. You might not know this person’s intention for a while. Even if he or she is forceful at first, know that you have his or her support.
