HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Septe. 18): Spiritual illumination and peace are the sublime offerings for your solar return. There is a physicality in your approach to life that will be key to mental freedom and transcendence. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 9, 12, 20 and 16. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Relationships occur in places that later become landmarks and symbols for all that has happened between people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might be doing a job better than you ever have, but it’s still taking the same amount of time. This is part of mastery. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The same environment has a way of making you loop back on the same thought patterns, which is only good if it’s a fantastic set of thoughts. If not, find a way to keep moving. CANCER (June 22-July 22): If it is true what the Zen master says, and all suffering springs from unmet expectations, then adjusting your expectations on the regular is the skill to master.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Intuition doesn’t strike from the sky; rather, it comes up from the ground, connecting with you mid-pursuit, when you have some information, though not all you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll accomplish your aims with enough style to get an Instagram filter named after you. People will want to do it just like you did and have the same results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Some people will grab attention in the way of lightning bolts — loud and bright, fast, flashy and then gone. The effect is fearsome, entertaining and oddly addicting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Wounds of the heart are the same as all of the other wounds. Healing time varies depending on the injury and the injured.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can ask for clarity, and it will ask something of you back — acceptance. Clarity and acceptance fold together like fingers in the hands of a prayer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The world is a backdrop to every relationship. It takes a context for people to experience one another as remarkable. You can make alterations in the relationship, but you can’t alter the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your capacity for uniqueness is so vast that you sometimes lose track of the connection points between you and the “Muggles” you live among.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your leadership persona is in good form these days, although you long to be a part of a group that doesn’t need it. It’s less fun when you have to tell people what to do.
