HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s harmony in your relationships now — a happy but fragile condition worthy of your protection. You understand that good times are too precious to take for granted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can be spontaneous when you feel like it, but the opportunities don’t always arise. They will today, though, and it will be lucky to say “yes” to unexpected invitations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s easy to tell who the poor listeners are. They may turn their heads toward a speaker, but their bodies are inclined away, seemingly blocking the message.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In regard to your special project, you’ll need just a little more faith to accomplish a desired result. Go forward as if you already had the funding in place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be a sort of teacher today, and you would do well to make it a policy to grade on a curve, holding others to standards relative to the current situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A financial win is in store. This has little to do with math skills; rather, it’s your high emotional intelligence to credit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t worry about what to say. If you’re fully there, you won’t even need words. Your presence will say everything.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Avoid bribing people. Don’t pay for what should be given to you naturally. Payment has a way of supplanting people’s intrinsic motivation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have no interest in getting people to buy into what they don’t need. Herein lies the secret to today’s success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Those overly concerned with their correctness will miss the point that you understand perfectly. Some things are never going to be all that great.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Even though you’re smart to assess what’s in it for you, don’t assume you’ll figure it out. Some things are just worth it, even if nobody really knows why.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While you honor sacred things, you love ordinary things, too, seeing them as worthy of your attention and care.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9). You know your value, and you’ll set standards that reflect it. Libra adores you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 3, 22, 28 and 49.
