HOROSCOPE

Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You get a boost this morning from the Fall Equinox. Others likely will be livelier than expected. More and more, you will see a close loved one lightening up. Seize the moment and take off with this person. You want adventure.

Tonight: Check in with an older friend or relative. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might have had an unusual dream or idea occur in the night. Decide to follow through on it; as a result, you could see your energy level rise. Detach from an issue, and you will see a new path. Do not forget a long-distance friend.

Tonight: Where there is music. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to rethink a decision. Invite a loved one to join you. Yes, tension exists between the two of you, but can you imagine how much more stress there would be if you chose not to invite this person? Tonight: Add some romance. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

What seemed effortless suddenly becomes stressful. Take a walk or jog to release some tension. Physical activity is a sedative of sorts for you. News or a call from someone at a distance could be far more exciting than you realize.

Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Put your heart into your communication. You might not be satisfied with the outcome of a personal matter unless you do. You do not need to be overserious -- just be authentic. News heading in your direction could surprise you.

Tonight: If you need a nap, take it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might note an inclination to be more possessive and less direct. Be aware of what you offer and know what your expectations are. You could be surprised by a dear friend or loved one. Until recently, this person was not so quirky.

Tonight: Return home, and see what happens. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are energized by the Sun moving into your sign. Make phone calls in the morning, as complications could interfere with your plans. Once more, you are not an island. Pitch in with a friend’s project.

Tonight: Entertain from home if you must. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sleep in and rest up. You could be exhausted by the recent hectic pace. You know what you want, but you could undermine yourself if you do not get sufficient R and R. By midafternoon, you’ll perk up. Tonight: Out and about. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Use the morning to the max. Focus on a long-term desire. You have the capacity to make it happen. Help an uptight friend relax a little. The experience will help you get to know this person better.

Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are full of energy and happy to share your afternoon. However, you do need the morning for some “you” time. An older person in your life makes demands that you might be overwhelmed by. Think positively or just say “no.” Tonight: As you want. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Use the daylight hours to the max and plan on some private time. You will accomplish a lot in this small window. Getting a perspective on a situation has been difficult for you as of late; perhaps you have been too tense. Tonight: Not to be found. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Clear out heavy responsibilities in the morning. You will want to free up your schedule to spend some quality time with friends or a potential sweetie. You work hard. Now give yourself permission to play equally as hard.

Tonight: Wherever you are, the party is. Born Today Singer/songwriter Joan Jett (1958), baseball manager Tommy Lasorda (1927), musician Nick Cave (1957)
