HOROSCOPE

Courage Moon There’s a way to interact with people without necessarily agreeing with them, belonging to their clubs, subscribing to their ideologies and the like. It’s called tolerance. It’s what the world needs more of, and not so hard to come by now either. The Leo moon rules the heart, which is where courage lives. Don’t be afraid of every little way we differ. ARIES (March 21-April 19). If we thought it happened a certain way and it happened another way instead, that will matter very little today. What matters is what works. Do what works even if it doesn’t make sense. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your giving nature is obvious, but what’s not so obvious is that the one who most needs it today is you. Be generous to yourself. If you’re not, the rest will be robbed of your generosity, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The voice of higher morality gets fainter every time it goes unheeded. Strong people do what’s right even when they don’t feel like it and it becomes easier and easier for them to do so with every repetition of the right thing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Selfimage is so tricky, and much deeper than an opinion you have about your mirror reflection. Others see you in a more favorable light than you see yourself today. If only you could know your own beauty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Strangers rarely sing together. That’s why it’s so powerful when it happens – a reinforcement of our shared humanity. No other creature has on earth has a voice so complex. Enjoy yours today. It will be your signature. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Avoid accidentally giving your power away, for instance by letting someone else handle what you really should be handling your-

self. Or by asking for permission when you don’t need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There once existed a sense of neighborliness that has been since replaced with aggressive anonymity. Meeting strangers is important to your sense of community and overall trust in society. Where can you go for this to happen?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a psychological effect going on in your life and it’s creating a certain result. The question is not whether or not beliefs make a difference. They clearly do. The question is how can you make this work for you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The ideas that won’t let go of you? Share them. They matter. They may seem random, personal, too whimsical to likely connect with many of the types of people you know... share them anyway. They matter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you pursue your own enjoyment, your friends will get some, too. This may come in the form of a game, or some intellectually stimulating entertainment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your heart speaks a language that sometimes you can translate, and sometimes you can’t. All will not be revealed in time,

but at least you can appreciate a good mystery. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While attempting to make a personal connection, don’t forget that one of the most attractive qualities a person can have is the ability to make other people feel attractive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). One of your great pleasures this solar return will be in connecting the people you know with one another and watching what comes of it – often a blessing that returns full circle back to you. More highlights include a secret you’re honored to know before others, and a very lucrative way to apply your education. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 38, 22, 12, 2. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’m a Leo. I read my horoscope almost daily and I think it really is quite accurate for me. People have asked me what my rising sign is, and I never admitted be- fore that I don’t know what that even means. Is Leo my rising sign?”

Leo is your sun sign, also referred to as your birth sign, natal sign or simply your sign. Your rising sign is different; it is the astrological sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. Figuring out what your rising sign requires that you know the exact time and location of your birth. Whereas the sun sign determines how you perceive yourself, your rising sign determines how others perceive you. It is your personality, in essence – how you look, and how you impress others. This is the way the world sees you. If your rising sign and sun sign are the same, you have few personality conflicts, as your outer and inner natures are similar. There are many free online tools and apps that will determine your rising sign from your exact birthday time and place, just type “find my rising sign” into the search engine.
