Your HOROSCOPE
For Thursday, September 24
We would do well to impose a bit of cautious self-restraint today, precisely because it is likely to be absent under the influence of punchy Mars’ opposition to intellectual Mercury at 6:53 a.m. EDT. We may be prone to blurting out exactly what we think, whether or not it is flattering, helpful or polite. We may also be in a blatantly combative mood. Still, it is better to own this aggression and put the energy to good use than to let it manifest as resentment.
ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19
Circumstances may require you to work on an important project or undertaking collaboratively, but this could prove easier said than done. Even if you butt heads repeatedly, it is still probable that you can accomplish more together than alone. Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em!
TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20
You are constantly in your own way today as you try to make everything work out perfectly. Attempts to assert yourself may unfold awkwardly. Even if it seems like the problem is that everyone else is against you, it is actually you who needs to have your own back more fully.
GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20
You are excellent at expressing your plans and opinions today. Your intent focus on your goals may make you somewhat insensitive to the needs of your group. Be careful not to unwittingly bulldoze right over the legitimate concerns of people who are trying to help you.
CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22
You may feel pulled in opposite directions today, as though your body is in one place and your mind is elsewhere. Important matters in your personal or family life pull your attention inward to the home, while willful action is required at work or in your outer life. Try not to lash out.
LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22
You are especially effective as a communicator, able to render complex topics intelligible. In your enthusiasm and fervor, you may come off as aggressive, as though you are beating others over the head. Beware the tendency to overly identify your whole personality with one idea.
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22
Today your attention turns to what you value most — intellectually, spiritually or materially. You may be taking stock of your life, poring over details of your plans, schedule or contracts. Your appetites may be at odds with your best interests, so let the dust settle before proceeding.
LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22
For once, you may feel like figuring out everything by yourself, especially since a collaborator is difficult to work with. You could find it hard to appreciate what this person is offering, not so much because you fail to value their content but because you find them rough.
SCORPIO OCT. 23-NOV. 21
You may feel withdrawn, yet in your attempt to hide what you think, you make your true opinions more apparent. You have a great deal of energy for finishing your work, but beware that others could sense aggression or egotism underpinning your words and actions.
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21
You are not in a mood to restrain yourself. Your focus is called to your future today, and you feel the need to rationally analyze your goals, ideals and social circles with which you identify. Make room for supportive allies without censoring or stifling your strong sense of self.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19
It is important to be conscious of what you are doing, for otherwise, you may act in petty and irritable ways that put off those around you. You are objective, critical and analytical in your career, and if you can manage the fiery energy within you, you may be highly productive.
AQUARIUS JAN. 20-FEB. 18
Life appears to be one big war today, and you are somewhat aggressive or defensive about proclaiming the rightness of your opinions to others. You are less open to philosophy, religion and unconventional ideas now, instead craving fact, science and empirical data.
PISCES FEB. 19-MARCH 20
You are able to grasp subtle truths about yourself now and may feel a strong need to do so. You could be very effective at negotiating on your own behalf today as long as you are in touch with a healthy sense of self-confidence rather than a compulsive need to prove your own worthiness.
