HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19). Your motivation grows with every small win, and with every small loss, so you really can’t lose.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). People who are comfortable in themselves are easy to be around. You’ll have talks with friends where nothing of note gets said and yet so much gets shared.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Wherever possible, handle things up close and in person. It’s the close range where misunderstandings get cleared up.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). It’s OK to expect a certain tone from people and distance yourself from lesser behavior. You’re right to protect yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Welcome the unknown. Make friends with fear. Ideally, a comfort zone is ever-expanding.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is a little like grammar today. You don’t have to know why a thing is technically wrong to know that it sounds wrong, doesn’t read well and that you probably shouldn’t use it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Improvements aren’t always done with action. Sometimes what helps things along is more of an understanding.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t want to disrupt others, upset the status quo or risk the decline that could happen after a shakeup. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The bigger the group, the more anonymous people feel, the more likely some will be to heed baser instincts. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not every relationship has to be a love story. People connect in different ways. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When should you do what you don’t want to do? This question will keep coming up. Gently encouraging yourself to do the bigger thing is better in the long run than letting yourself stay small.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You ask more of yourself than you ask of others and also more of yourself than others ask of themselves. Are you being too hard? Today’s birthday (Sept. 15). An early theme of this solar journey centers around peace, knowing what it means to you and creating more of it. A state of tranquility allows you to do something productive with all the learning and circumstances caused by past trials. Taurus and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 25, 17 and 4.
