Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 3:

This year you open up to a new realm of ideas and a different way of thinking. If single, you tend to meet people in odd ways. The One could walk up to your door to ask a question or do some work for you. If you are attached, you are likely to have a new addition to the family. Don’t stress — it could just be a puppy. Gemini often introduces you to new people.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You could find today confusing, yet the confusion stems from you. You can’t seem to get a strong sense of what to do and when to do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ You can save the day with your ingenuity. Rustle up a flirtation that will be long remembered by both parties or have fun with an old friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ You could be hard to stop, not that anyone really wants to anyway. You appear to be more instrumental on the home front than you originally had thought.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★ The real issue might be stopping you from speaking your mind. If you are too bold or too abrupt, you can expect to hear a strong response. Be careful, as the other party knows how to jab you and hurt your feelings. Shield yourself from hostile comments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You seem to be distracted by a specific person. A get-together proves rewarding, as you see people you have not been around in a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Understand what is pushing you to react so strongly. You might not be seeing a loved one clearly. You could be distorting who this person is and ignoring some negative qualities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You could be daydreaming more than you are aware. When interacting with others, make an effort to ground yourself. You might like what you hear and discover.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You could be off-kilter in the morning. By the afternoon, a partner, friend or loved one makes an effort to make you smile. Remain responsive; this person means well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21 ★★★★ You might need to handle a personal matter differently. Understand what is going on with the other party involved, and listen to what he or she has to say.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You might want to take off and feel free, yet somehow obligations flow into the moment. Don’t make this a big deal. Others will appreciate your light and easy attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You could be off-kilter, but not for long. Your playful inner child emerges. Though you might be silly at times, you give permission to others to indulge in such behaviour as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Your imagination will allow you to do the impossible when working with an idea. Others enjoy your ingenuity and how it helps in various situations.
