HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): When loved ones struggle to find the right way to tell their story, your talent kicks in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your eyes may reveal a little more than you intend, if only because there’s so much for your mind to keep track of today.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): If your goal is a very popular one, then it’s a perfect day to assess whether it’s what you really want.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You have a choice to make . Try to determine which decision is most likely to lead to greater happiness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): True discipline, the deep and lasting kind, will be born from education, not punishment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play when you get the chance, try the weird experiment, approach the stranger with a smile and an outstretched hand.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll soon be hashing out the details of a deal. Take the time to get clear in your own mind about what you want and what you’re willing to trade for it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It will be important to meet your own expectations. You want them high enough to help yourself grow, and low enough to let yourself win and stay encouraged.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The ripples that open outward may be gentle yet they affect the distant shore. The same will be true of your words.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be wondering why you agreed to take on a certain responsibility. What it involves is far more than you expected. But what it gives also will be far more.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re feeling somehow more alive. Opportunities will be plentiful, but be picky about what you focus on.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone close (possibly a Capricorn) wants you to do things differently. You will respect their need to offer an opinion while respecting your own need to make choices independently.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 11): Gifts and favors fill the next 10 weeks. You’ll be the resident bon vivant through the holiday season, with everyone deferring to your taste and asking you for pointers about where to go, what to do, etc. After working very hard in early 2019, you’ll hit a rather effortless run of good luck. June brings a promotion. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 39, 2, 11 and 33.
