Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018:

This year you make a difference through your ability to relate on a personal level. Others hear your message loud and clear. Be careful not to lose your temper. If you are single, you relate best on an individual level, though a relationship could have a volatile beginning. You might meet someone of significance. If you are attached, the differences between the two of you could be pronounced, yet those same differences add vigour to your bond. Taurus might be a little too stubborn for your taste.

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)

★★★ You might have an unexpected reaction to a financial issue. This matter could launch a quarrel that is difficult to move away from. The pressure builds. Choose to be active and positive. Extremes mark a decision you make.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Notice that your anger level rises for no apparent reason. You could discover that you are picking up on a boss’s annoyance, perhaps with you. Focus on what you want, and don’t allow this feeling to take over. Give yourself a day before you revisit the issue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ Don’t worry about making a presentation until you are ready. Someone could be reaching out to connect with you. If this person seems hot under the collar, think before responding. You can choose not to react. Listen and sympathize instead of making judgments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ Touch base with someone you find to be critical and/or difficult. Just listen. You need to know where this person stands and what his or her opinions are. Know that you do not need to let his or her negativity affect you.

Make it OK to walk away for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Follow through on what needs to happen. You can’t help but flourish. Your leadership somehow puts a signature on any project you take on. Others appreciate what you do, with the exception of a loved one who wants more of your time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You beam, and others respond in kind. Be as forthright as possible. Discussions seem to be animated and full of information. Listen well. Use caution against overindulgence. You will be a lot more upbeat than you have been.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ One-on-one relating makes a difference. You could feel as if someone would prefer to do what he or she wants rather than be reasonable. You like your indulgences, too, so you can understand where this person is coming from.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Being sought out by others reminds you that you are cared about. You can be your own worst enemy.

Open up to a fast change on the home front. Touch base with a loved one at a distance whom you care about. Be more direct in a conversation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Pace yourself, and don’t allow pressure from a neighbour or loved one to get the best of you. Try not to lose your temper when facing others’ demands. Open up to a new idea that could help you get past the doldrums you often face.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ You are passionate about whatever comes your way, especially if it involves another person. Your creativity soars as a result, and you find unusual yet effective solutions. You might be inclined to take a risk or overspend. Proceed with care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You could be fuming, so be careful about expressing your feelings while in this state of mind. Look within yourself for more answers about what is irritating you. Read between the lines. After you have done a personal inventory, start a conversation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Your feelings come out despite an attempt to sit on them. You could be tired and somewhat irritable. Without being touchy, have a long-overdue talk. Keep the door of communication open. If you are angry, do not hit below the belt. Discuss your feelings.
