YOUR horoscope

Monday, Sept. 11, 2017:

This year you often wonder whether to resort to the tried and true when hitting an obstacle, or to jump into a new approach. You most likely will try both ways. An innate creativity emerges from within you. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance in your day-to-day travels. The two of you will enjoy living your lives to the max. If you are attached, you and your sweetie often toss ideas back and forth between you. Your communication warms up, as does your bond. TAURUS helps you understand someone else’s perspective.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Opportunities come forward. You might have to do some digging in order to find out why someone is acting out of character. At the last minute, this person might reverse his or her tracks. Your frustration could come out in anger. Tonight: Try to let go of what is aggravating you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Use the early part of the day to push toward a long-term goal, or to make an important call. Your magnetism speaks for itself, and others might be hard to hold back. An offer that could have financial implications might require some consideration. Tonight: Out and about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

As the day progresses, you feel better and better. You might wonder what you need to do in order to get the reaction you want. Open up to more authentic ways of communicating, and give up an urge to manipulate others to get the results you want. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The first part of the day allows greater success. You flow from moment to moment. Extremes and nervous energy could encourage you to back off. You don’t need to deal with anyone’s temper tantrum. Try to keep your frustration from mounting. Tonight: Not to be found.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A lot could be dropped on you early in the day. You can handle what comes down the pike, but schedule your more-social interactions for later in the afternoon. Allow a loved one to vent. This person needs your support, so listen carefully. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pressure builds by late afternoon. Your nerves could be wound tightly, and as a result, you could lose your temper. You are a force to be dealt with, but it appears that others are making heavy demands. You might feel the need to be overly responsive. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

One-on-one relating allows your morning to flow smoothly. Work on understanding where others are coming from. When you come to terms with others’ stances, you’ll find a solution that will work. Anger pops up from out of nowhere. Tonight: Get some R and R.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Others make the first move. You might find it easy to respond, but since you are likely to be approached by more than one person, some diplomacy could make the situation easier. Loosen up. Work on improving your listening skills. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others seem to work with you, but ultimately they could become challenging. You might need to make sure that you are on the same page when speaking with someone else about making plans. Confirm all meeting times and places. Tonight: Defer to a friend or loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your creativity surges when speaking with others. Some of you might be enjoying time spent with a loved one. In the afternoon, focus on keeping the lines of communication open. Try not to become angry when dealing with a touchy or difficult individual. Tonight: Do for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Handle an important matter in the morning, when others seem to be more peaceful. Your imagination emerges in the evening, allowing you to prevent a problem from becoming any worse. Don’t make this more of a hassle than need be. Tonight: Time for some fun and games.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Communicate what is on your mind, no matter which direction that takes you. Try to understand where others are coming from. In the afternoon, you will be more focused on a domestic issue than you have been. Listen to feedback from a loved one. Tonight: Head home.
