HOROSCOPES

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 29):

You’re attractive on all the levels. So who do you want to know? Your clarity of purpose brings them in and your people skills keep them there. More highlights: adding to your collection in a remarkable way, a come-uppance in a group that’s important to how you think of yourself, and a settlement in your favor. Leo and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 5, 44, 31 and 28.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

It might feel like you’ve said something a dozen times, but that’s how many it takes to get people to listen even once. So keep repeating. Your message is worth it and will soon catch on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

People will connect with what’s valuable to them. You increase your value, and you’ll increase your connections. Just know that being useful also has its drawbacks. The useful get used.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):

Your environment is a huge factor in your success. Anything you can do to align your surroundings with your goals will give you a leg up. What needs to change? How can the environment nurture your desired direction?

CANCER (June 22-July 22):

The reason the brook sings? It’s the rocks. Take those out and the song goes with it. As for you, as long as you’re finding a way around the obstacles, you’re winning (and beautifully by the way.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

The leader is the one who most owns the problem — who makes sure to get the result. This isn’t always the one who is technically holding the title. Recognize who the true leader is and operations will go more smoothly for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Don’t hurry. It only makes life go by faster than it needs to. Better to make a new arrangement and give yourself some wiggle room than to rush around.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

Today’s work looks harder than it is. You won’t know the answer to all of the questions, but address the easy ones first and you’ll get into the groove. Before you know it, you’ll be nearing the finish.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):

Change can be painful, exciting, joyous, scary, deeply fulfilling and all of that at once. Whatever feelings you might have about a change, they are not right or wrong, they are just yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Today’s results reflect both your successes and mistakes. There’s beauty in this. You’ll appreciate how far you’ve come and clearly see where you need to go.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’ll improve your skills through a structured and scientific approach. Focus on getting the small things right and later you’ll string them together for substantial growth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You’re like a spotlight in the world. You’ll bring focus to the things that people really should take notice of, either because it will make them better and happier or because it’s something that needs to be addressed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

People around you will root you on. And yet, it is your competition that is more important to your success than any friend or supporter. No one will be quite as motivational as a formidable opponent.
