Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018:

This year you let go of rigid thinking patterns and learn to understand where others are coming from. Your sense of humour and ability to identify a problem quickly add to your popularity. Nevertheless, you frequently wonder whether to do what you feel or what you think. See what works best for you.

If you are single, developing a steady, normal relationship might be close to impossible in this volatile and changeable period. Avoid making a commitment until you stabilize. If you are attached, the two of you enter a period where you seem to be on opposite sides of a see-saw. Express your compassion. Pisces often grounds you.
