Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 14: This year your relationships become a higher priority than they have been in the past. You could experience a lot of tension around the domestic part of your life. You might be supporting a change in your immediate environment. Curb a tendency to be feisty. If you are single, you are likely to attract someone quite exotic. Boredom is unlikely. If you are attached, being diplomatic will help the two of you to jump over many of the hurdles that pop up. Your sweetie adds extra snap, crackle and pop to your life. Pisces does not mean to challenge you. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You can count on a partner. You energize others, though at times they find you unusually quirky. Listen to your inner voice. You have always been independent and forthright; nothing has changed. You have unusually high energy, even for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You demand a lot from yourself as well as from others. You might find it difficult to detach from a partner who is actively pursuing one of your mutual goals. Don’t be surprised by what is happening around you; just observe for now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Reach out to someone at a distance. You might not be as sure of yourself around this person as you would like. Make the appropriate gesture, and be willing to run with someone else’s idea. A friend is likely to surprise you. CANCER ( June 21-July 22)

Highlight one-on-one relating. Understand what needs to occur in order to follow through on an associate’s great idea. You might want to ask more questions, but you are unlikely to have the time, and the other party is unlikely to have the patience. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22)

Defer to others, and make sure you can go along with their ideas. Not only are you looking at a change in how you relate to and communicate with others, but by being less dominant, you also allow them to show their true colours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Use the daylight hours to complete as much as you can. Some of you might want to catch up on emails, whereas others might want the solitary time to complete a project. Know that others are likely to make it difficult to stay focused. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your playfulness emerges and you are full of get-up-and-go, whereas others seem to be very serious. A situation could push you into fifth gear. A close associate or loved one might distract you with a surprise of sorts. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tension mounts. When you reverse course, know that you will stun many people, perhaps even a close friend. Taking responsibility for an impending potentially uncomfortable situation might feel better than you initially had thought. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are driven to achieve more of what you want. A friend or loved one will support your ideas — not because he or she is close to you, but because he or she sees real value in them. Listen to critiques; use them to tighten up your project. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Security remains a high priority at the moment. You could be confused about the details of a project, but a meeting is unlikely to help you clarify them. Go through all the information and write down questions, then approach the appropriate person. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be quite assertive with a friend, or vice versa. Don’t allow negativity into a discussion. Accept this person’s point of view rather than attempt to change his or her mind. Understand the liability of being too open. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Take some private time away from an authority figure in order to reflect. You need to establish your priorities in a way that this person will understand. The first reaction you get will not be the final reaction. Use caution with money dealings.
