Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Monday, Sept. 3. This year you open up to a new realm of ideas and a different way of thinking. You could find this change invigorating and exciting. Your domestic life becomes more important as well. If single, you tend to meet people in odd ways. The One could walk up to your door to ask a question or do some work for you. If you are attached, you are likely to have a new addition to the family. Don’t stress -- it could just be a puppy. GEMINI often introduces you to new people.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★★ You could find today confusing, yet the confusion stems from you. You can’t seem to get a strong sense of what to do and when to do it. You’ll want to be more nurturing, efficient and of service to others. However, you also will want some time just for you. Tonight: Give in to a whim.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★★★ You can save the day with your ingenuity. Rustle up a flirtation that will be long remembered by both parties or have fun with an old friend. No task seems too hard for you to take on. You could be instrumental in bringing others together. Tonight: Tap into your creativity.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
★★★★★ You could be hard to stop, not that anyone really wants to anyway. You appear to be more instrumental on the homefront than you originally had thought. Make an adjustment. You could be distorting some very important news. Be realistic. Tonight: You don’t need to go far.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
★★ The real issue might be stopping you from speaking your mind. If you are too bold or too abrupt, you can expect to hear a strong response. Be careful, as the other party knows how to jab you and hurt your feelings. Shield yourself from hostile comments. Tonight: Among the crowds.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
★★★★ You seem to be distracted by a specific person. A get-together proves rewarding, as you see people you have not been around in a while. Your gift of bringing out the fun and spontaneity in others makes the day special. Tonight: Make an impulsive gesture if you want.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
★★★★ Understand what is pushing you to react so strongly. You might not be seeing a loved one clearly. You could be distorting who this person is and ignoring some negative qualities. Putting someone on a pedestal can only result in him or her falling off of it. Tonight: Accept an offer.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
★★★★ You might have some difficulty staying in the present moment. You could be daydreaming more than you are aware. When interacting with others, make an effort to ground yourself. You might like what you hear and discover. Tonight: Make an effort to visit with a loved one.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
★★★★ You could be off-kilter in the morning. By the afternoon, a partner, friend or loved one makes an effort to make you smile. Remain responsive; this person means well. Stay upbeat, knowing full well that an unusually strong connection lies between you. Tonight: Flirt away.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
★★★ You might want to take off and feel free, yet somehow obligations flow into the moment. Don’t make this a big deal. Others will appreciate your light and easy attitude. Honor a fast change that could make you feel unsure of how to respond. Tonight: Let the fun continue.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
★★★★ You could be off-kilter, but not for long. Your playful inner child emerges. Though you might be silly at times, you give permission to others to indulge in such behavior as well. You note an unusual connection between you and a new friend. Tonight: Keep it easy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
★★★★ Your imagination will allow you to do the impossible when working with an idea. Others enjoy your ingenuity and how it helps in various situations. Though it might be difficult to verbalize your thoughts, keep trying. You eventually will break through. Tonight: Close to home.
