Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018:

This year you have very little to distract you, unless you set up your life for chaos. You will want to avoid people who cause upheaval or make you alter your course when you don’t want to. If you are single, you will have a wonderful and special year where you could meet someone who becomes significant to your life. Be open to different types of people. If you are attached, the two of you could experience a new-found depth. You might seek to complete a mutual goal for your relationship. Sagittarius encourages you to be more adventurous in your life.

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)

★★★★ Fortunately, you don’t mind being tossed into the limelight. Your vision and interpretation will be valued. You also delegate well, which you will do when you feel the timing works. You see the benefit of allowing someone else to take the lead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ A loved one goes out of his or her way for you. You clearly see how much you mean to this person; you feel cared about and you enjoy his or her attention. When you detach and eye the big picture, you will understand what is really being offered.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ Others seek you out. You might feel cared about on a level that you can barely acknowledge. Emotion and intensity could mark your interactions. One person could become unusually controlling; he or she needs your time and attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ You might have very little choice but to defer to others. Be gracious, even if one party displays a need for control. You do not need to play into this. You hear a lot of news just by hanging out. Do your best to keep the other party talking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ You want your freedom, even if your choice is to be with one special person. You can be charming and fun when you let loose. Your sense of direction will take you down a new path. Others might be reluctant to follow, but eventually some will join you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★★ You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on. Stay light and easy with a domestic issue. You might not want to commit to a solution unless one is deemed necessary. Maintain an appropriate stance, yet enjoy a child’s naughtiness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You no longer can hold back from expressing your feelings about a hot-topic issue. Honestly, you do not have the type of control you desire, but you must express your thoughts on the matter in question. Accept an invitation to be spontaneous and free.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ Your words make a difference to those in your immediate circle. You cannot avoid a neighbour who has some news to share with you. You might decide to stay mum about what you hear. Reach out to a relative who is often unavailable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Others can’t seem to get enough of you, and as a result they clamour for your attention. Say “no” to someone who attempts to manipulate you purely for his or her own benefit. Use caution with your funds. Count your change with care.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★★ Keep reaching out to a loved one in order to have a long-overdue conversation. This person will be delighted by your efforts. Maintain a low profile, if possible. You could be happy just watching a ball game or playing a game of cards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ Don’t worry about what others think you should do. You might care a little, as some people seem to have good ideas that you hadn’t considered. A conversation could be so off the wall that you can barely even respond.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Emotions run high around you. Whether you know it or not, you might be the most popular person or the one everyone is looking for. You have a way of bringing others together. Friends appreciate your efforts. A project comes to completion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018:

This year you often experience an innate tension between who you are and what your obligations are, especially on the home front. You often feel conflicted in the sense that you want to be somewhere other than where you are. If you are single, you could be a little more scrappy than usual. Creating a bond could be difficult, so give yourself some time. If you are attached, your sweetie might enjoy your moodiness because you become more adventurous as a result. Sagittarius encourages you to get more exercise to stabilize your ups and downs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Hop into the car for a day trip or just a drive to explore a new area. You will be relaxed and up for a get-together with loved ones when you return. Your responses are different after your personal outing. Do not get uptight about a misunderstanding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ One-on-one relating proves most rewarding for you. Give much more to a partner who dotes on you in his or her own style. Your communication becomes wild. Do not stand on ceremony. End the misunderstanding with compassion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ Given a chance, you could play the day away. Holding back might cause a problem where you least expect one. Consider being more flexible than you are right now. Adjust your plans accordingly, and make an effort toward a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You might want to visit with a loved one. Return calls and catch up on others’ news. For various reasons, you will want to remain close to home. You have a quirky sense of humour, which a family member seems to enjoy. Get together with this person soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Be clear about your expectations of a loved one. This person could be sensitive, so express your thoughts in an easy, relaxed way. A child could be acting up. Maintain a sense of humour. Do not let confusion build into a misunderstanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Stay centred and deal with a financial matter. You might not be able to make a difference or connect in a special way with a family member. Go for what you want, and don’t allow someone else’s mood to affect you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ Investigate what is going on with a neighbour or relative. All you need to do is be more sensitive to those who play into your interactions. Examine what is happening between you and someone who you care about. Be sensitive to complaints.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You might not be on top of your game. You are willing to pull back and allow others to play a major role. You might feel relief from playing a lesser part and probably having more time for yourself. Understand what is going on with a money matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ Your ability to come to terms with a challenging situation will benefit you. Someone else might see a situation differently from you how you envision it, but that’s OK. Look at the matter from both perspectives. You will know what to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You might unintentionally challenge others. A boss or parent could feel intimidated. You know what you are going to do. Discuss it less, and just act. You are likely to get a lot of feedback that you’d prefer not to hear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ You want to go out and be around crowds. You would be happiest at a favourite hangout. Where your friends are is where you most enjoy yourself. Do not worry about tomorrow. Know what is happening, as it allows you to make better choices.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Relax and get past an obstacle. You might not feel up to snuff when dealing with a loved one who seems to demand a lot. You might have to make an obligatory appearance. Zero in on what you want, despite the fact that someone is giving you a lot of flak.
