Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Sunday, Sept. 23. This year you often feel as if you are in the middle of some crosswinds. You can see reasons to go in whatever direction you would like. Perhaps you need to base your decisions on different criteria than you have in the past. If you are single, you could meet someone quite endearing. You frequently experience a push-and-pull effect with this person. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy change and are willing to take risks. You both also are likely to make some changes to your dayto-day life. PISCES encourages you to dream.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★ You might have planned today as a day for some solitude. You could get lonely by midday, though suddenly you are off in dreamland experiencing nirvana. Whether this state is real or in your imagination makes little difference. Keep the pace relaxed. Tonight: Enjoy the quiet.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

★★★★★ You will zero in on a friend. You also will be eyeing a long-term goal. Someone might not agree with you, but that hassle doesn’t seem to bother you! You have the strength of personality to be independent. Inspiration leads you down an intriguing path. Tonight: Out late.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★ Tension revolves around you and your long-term desires. Touch base with an elderly family member or a wise older friend. This person’s feedback helps you clarify and put words to your ideas. Feelings might be intensifying with a loved one. Tonight: You are full of energy!

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★★ Reach out to someone you care a lot about. This person might be at a distance, but when you speak, you feel as if you live next door to each other. Discuss getting together in the near future -- the sooner, the better. Tonight: Go where your mind can wander and be free!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★★★ One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. At first, you might be cautious or resistant, but the grass is green on this path, and you’ll soon begin to move quickly. Others will appreciate it if you keep conversations on an individual level. Tonight: Be part of a duo.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★★ Defer to others for now. You might have some strong feelings as to how you need to proceed. Still, get feedback from a close personal friend. If something is as good as it seems, go with it. A loved one might need your support. Tonight: Wherever you are, a party erupts.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★ You cannot put off a project any longer, even if you want to. If you don’t want someone’s flak, you need to handle a situation or project around your home. Be smart and clear it out, adjusting your plans if need be. Tonight: Relax in a bubble bath, or schedule a massage.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★★ You could be tied up in a personal situation that you find depleting and perhaps debilitating. You normally handle such matters with ease, but a recent bout of de- pression or feeling less than great could be coloring your perspective. Tonight: Get into a fun game.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★ Don’t push someone too hard and think that you can get away with it. Stay focused on the big picture, which could involve work as well as friends. The people in your life might be difficult. Remember the importance of staying on track. Tonight: The only answer is ‘’yes.’’

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ Your perspective could change after you move away from the rainy cloud that’s above you. Whatever turned your thinking toward the negative can be identified and eliminated. Avoid someone who creates hassles for you. Tonight: You could find yourself suddenly overspending.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★ Keep to your budget at all costs. You have gone through a lot of changes, and it appears that you have several adjustments to make. You know what feels right, and you realize when you go overboard, even if you refuse to admit it. Tonight: Please tame yourself, for your own sake.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★★★ No one questions that you feel on top of the world; you make it quite apparent. Your magnetism, smile and energy draw people toward you. You might wonder what it would be best to do under the present circumstances. Don’t overthink this issue. Tonight: Embrace the moment.
