Maturity Moon
Getting older requires resilience and adaptation. This is as true at age 4 as it is at age 54. If you cannot (or, for some reason, just don’t want to) do it the same way as you did it before, congratulations. You’re maturing. It’s something to embrace and celebrate at every age. This message comes via the maturing influence of the Capricorn moon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Alone, you’re strong, but you can only do so much. Seek other strong people to add to your network. The first step to accelerated success is to acquire support.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Release control and let the day take you where it will. What ensues will be highly creative. You could stumble onto a path that turns out to be more of a calling.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though the physical you is certainly becoming, someone close is currently being magnetized to your very attractive mind. That said, remember you have nothing to prove, and sharing all you know is not advised.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whether or not you know what you want, you are attracting it. That’s why it’s important to write down your thoughts on the subject. Try to dig deep. You’ll be surprised by what you find out about yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe you can’t always be around the people you admire (because some of them are dead and others are inaccessible celebrities), but you can spend time with them through studying and imagination. Even better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though you don’t want to cause stress by making others wait unnecessarily, the energy of rushing is also stressful. Both states are avoidable through proper time management and planning, which are your expertise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are days when the obstacles are avoidable or easily surmountable or nonexistent. These are the smoother days, but not necessarily the better ones, when you consider that the obstacle is actually the path.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The people who operate under a specific creed will intrigue you and make you question some of your views. Though there is no objective right or wrong here, there are ways of thinking that are more productive than others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Nothing in the forest grows in the wrong place. Every seed finds its way to a useful purpose, whether it’s in the stomach of a squirrel or in fertile soil. Rest assured that the natural progression is working toward the greater good.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Food for thought can be assessed for nutritive value just as food for the body can. You’ll find greater enrichment as you avoid the mental equivalent to junk food.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to go out of your way to find or even create something beautiful today. It’s all there for you already; all you have to do is see it. Loving eyes bring normal things into stunning focus.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Spiritually driven, you’re definitely no money-grubber. However, there’s nothing wrong with your craving for certain material creature comforts or even dreaming of riches as you will do today.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 17). You’ll set a goal that inspires your hopes. Ten smaller goals grow from it, the pursuit of which will culminate in a big trophy or the metaphoric equivalent. More highlights: The love and approval of someone you admire greatly will inspire you to offer yourself the same -- a life-changing shift in your thinking. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 31, 19, 44, 47 and 10.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m retired and looking for something to do with my bountiful spare time. I wouldn’t mind getting a parttime job. A telephone psychic told me to follow my lucky Jupiter in Gemini. Then I ran out of time, and I didn’t want to pay for more minutes. Now I’m wondering specifically what he meant.”
With Jupiter in intellectual Gemini, you come across luck and success through pursuits of the mind. Manual work has little appeal. Also, you are short on patience and dislike routine. People with Jupiter in Gemini would much rather experience a fast-paced scene that changes often with a steady stream of new people and influences.
You have a way with people, and it would be a shame to waste that shut up in a back room. You need to be in the field. You’ve a talent for turning situations in your favor without antagonizing anyone. You can steer the action and make others believe they are making all the decisions. You are a natural-born salesperson, teacher, writer, speaker and diplomat. Also, because those with Jupiter in Gemini are fantastic multitaskers, the restaurant and retail industries offer appealing daily challenges. Best of luck!
