HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): If we thought it happened a certain way and it happened another way instead, that will matter little today. What matters is what works.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your giving nature is obvious, but what’s not so obvious is that the one who most needs it today is you. Be generous to yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Strong people do what’s right even when they don’t feel like it and it becomes easier and easier for them to do so with every repetition of the right thing.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Self-image is so tricky and much deeper than an opinion you have about your mirror reflection. Others see you in a more favorable light than you see yourself today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): No other creature has on earth has a voice so complex. Enjoy yours today. It will be your signature.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Avoid accidentally giving your power away, for instance by letting someone else handle what you really should be handling yourself. Or by asking for permission when you don’t need it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Meeting strangers is important to your sense of community and overall trust in society. Where can you go for this to happen?

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There’s a psychological effect going on in your life, and it’s creating a certain result. The question is how can you make this work for you?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The ideas that won’t let go of you? Share them. They matter. They may seem random, personal. They matter.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When you pursue your own enjoyment, your friends will get some too.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your heart speaks a language that sometimes you can translate and sometimes you can’t. You can appreciate a good mystery.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): One of the most attractive qualities a person can have is the ability to make other people feel attractive.

Today’s birthday (Oct. 4): One of your great pleasures this solar return will be in connecting the people you know with one another and watching what comes of it -often a blessing that returns full circle back to you. More highlights include a secret you’re honored to know before others, and a very lucrative way to apply your education. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 38, 22, 12, 2.
