HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): While it’s unnerving to lose personal items, it’s also an opportunity to put better organizational systems in place. Hint, hint.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re creative, which will require patience from the more linear-minded audience, but don’t let that deter you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Timing can make or break this deal, but the good news is, you’ll learn either way.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Even interests you are most passionate about can lose their appeal at times. But it’s not a signal to move on but, rather, to spice things up.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today will present a case in which sincerity and accuracy will not match up. Nobody’s fault, and you’re all in the story together. You may just have to work out one

that can be agreed upon.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): While obvious benefits befall optimists, there are powerful advantages that go to the trouble-seers, too.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): To see and deal in objective reality will save you time and money. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You know who doesn’t fuss about being a “good person”? Good people. They know their intentions are benevolent and they don’t have to talk about it. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The link between activity and happiness is undeniable. So, move and smile.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your presence will awaken the intelligence inside others and they’ll show you their brightest insights.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Deep in your heart you feel happy to help. So you don’t need the gold star to tell you that people appreciate

you. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There’s an inf lux of fresh excitement today that will energize your creativity for weeks to come. Don’t worry about keeping anything about this, as trying to hold on to it will be like grasping at water. Just enjoy.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 14): Take on more than you think you can handle, because you’ll grow into responsibilities. Besides, you have been underestimating your talent and luck. A peaceful close of 2018 allows for self-education, solo experience and soul searching. The next turn is in a direction you wouldn’t have guessed. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 16, 33 and 1.
