HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): A special friendship is gathering momentum. It is bigger than the sum of its parts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re an integral part of this web of life. You may not feel that all of the time, but never stop believing it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Symbols of good times and bad may be scattered around your psyche and/or your house, and if you can proactively manage them, you’ll be better off.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Friends will offend and disappoint. But the good will far outweigh the bad if you stick with it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There are power-ups in life. They come in the form of uplifting people and tools to give you special powers. Seize the opportunities.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If anyone can smooth things

over with charm, you’re the one to do it. You’ll ease tensions before they get out of hand. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you’re not sure whether you can do it or not, you’re smart.

yourself over to it and let it lift you like a magic carpet into worlds unknown.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It is sometimes necessary to be critical of the world, though too much analyzing may cut you off from the carefree joy that is your gift today.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 8): This solar return comes with emotional complexity. You won’t always understand why you feel the way you do, but it’s how you channel these strong feelings into action that matters. Your actions will net you your heart’s desire in many categories. Let logic rule the tail of 2018. Then, in the new year, go with your gut. Scorpio and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 3, 5, 28 and 35.
