HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19). Sometimes the more you learn about something, the more you want to learn.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Work-life balance is a common buzzword these days, and yet it’s a moot point when you’re involved in enjoyable work with people you love. This is something you’re creating for yourself with the actions you take. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Young people require your tenderness; elders require your compassion; and all the in-between people mostly just need respect and a little attention.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). Nothing will give you more enjoyment than adding to your skills and your knowledge base today. There are more ways available to you than ever for this. Even top universities offer free courses online. Shop around. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Remember that closed minds and hard hearts are softened by small, weak, vulnerable things.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is weird. You live it forward, but you understand it backward. With that in mind, don’t stress yourself over the minor choices of the day.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The weak will require your tolerance, and the strong will take even more of it, if you’ve got it. You should be able to muster some, and if you’re having trouble, apply the golden rule.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The success of this day depends on simple sorting. It’s about matching what you have to give to the people who most need it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to connect, but it will be hard today, as the people around you are so different from you and not in a good way. Stop judging, and just observe for a while until you feel a little more comfortable.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone who intends to look out for your best interests may instead be unintentionally holding you back from getting the very best education you can be getting. Don’t let your love for a person cloud practical judgment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps you don’t quest for fame, but you’ll definitely see the benefit of good publicity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re the leader — maybe not officially, but you’re the one everyone is following, so… close enough. Keep driving the action with your subtle, genial ways. Do you really need the title? There are many benefits to not having it.

Today’s Birthday (Sept. 19). The start of 2018 will serve your highest good — piping hot and delicious, too. Even your accidents will have happy results. Next month features a surprise visit. Also there’s a key investment opportunity before Halloween. Physical training in 2018 will lead you to make other lifestyle improvements. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 50, 5, 24 and 17.
