HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): The faster you react the less you think. Marketers will try to use this to their advantage, imposing a ticking clock on the interaction.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You started out like a groupie, and now you’re more like a critic. Back off for a while.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Be careful about what you praise, because what you praise may grow. Also, what you praise really signifies your values and taste.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your visceral response to music, a visual artwork or another work of art that lands marvelous on your senses will speak to the importance of art in your life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re a powerful creative presence, and no one wants to rain on your parade today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to invest in yourself to move forward. It’s knowing when to stop that’s the hard part these days.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Should you work to enjoy the now you have or the future you don’t? Now is as certain as certain gets; then, not so much.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Hang on through the tense parts of the day in the knowledge that they will pass soon enough.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): So you don’t know what to say. Maybe that’s because there’s nothing worth saying in some situations.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be in an experimental and curious mood. Sometimes the purpose can be just to play around.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re a little all over the place when you tend to the different things you love, but soon it will come together for you in some way.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Roles are assigned, parts are parceled, titles and jobs are handed out, but nobody gives power. Power you have to take.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 17): Success secret: Get scientific on your life. Decide which metrics are meaningful to you, and record the data over the next 12 months. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 18 and 31.
