YOUR horoscope

FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 2016

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Gemini if born before 4:33 a.m. (EST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Cancer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year you often feel as if you need to move, whether it is by jogging, dancing or cleaning your house. You work through tension by participating in physical activity. A controlling person’s behavior could pose an issue for you, but you will learn to bypass his or her willfulness. If you are single, you attract many admirers, but most of them aren’t as grounded as you would like. Be patient, because someone who is appropriate for you is likely to appear. If you are attached, you discover that you often move your significant other to a new perspective. Listen to your dreams for ideas. PISCES could make you forget about everything else!

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)

Your efforts need to be directed toward your personal and/or domestic life. Your ability to develop a clear interaction could be confused by the moment and by what is coming down the pike. A partner might make an unusually caring gesture. Tonight: Head down the right path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You could be open to having a conversation with a partner, but you’ll need to honor your differences instead of arguing about them. The two of you clearly come from different points of view. Touch base with a friend and brainstorm together. Tonight: You do not need to go far.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you have been. Self-discipline and spending might be conflicting words to you at the present moment. What is happening could force you to take more control of your budget and financial life. Tonight: Do not fight the inevitable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have a smile that draws people toward you. Today you exhibit the best of your sign. A discussion with someone who tends to be rigid will allow him or her to open up to a new way of thinking. Do not push so hard to make an impression. Tonight: Be spontaneous!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Honor a need to be less available. Examine what is happening between you and a loved one. You might be best off staying out of the social whirl of the moment. A family member could make a gesture that makes you comfortable. Tonight: Invite loved ones over to join you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Listen to news that could have an effect on your plans. You have a way with a child or loved one that encourages him or her to evolve to a new level. You’ll express a great deal of encouragement, and this person is likely to respond in kind. Tonight: Where your friends are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Don’t push too hard to get someone else to respond. Your ability to make this person feel good will be dependent on his or her mood. Understand that others need to feel good about themselves without your help. Indulge yourself a little more. Tonight: Paint the town red.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Take an overview of what is happening with a loved one. Be willing to break a pattern and head in a new direction. Your ability to touch someone you care about on a deep level is likely to emerge. Indulgence seems natural to you. Tonight: Meet friends at an offbeat spot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

One-on-one relating becomes more important than you originally had thought. You are able to get to the bottom of a problem that has caused some distance between you and a friend. Still, you might choose not to reveal your vulnerable feelings. Tonight: Make it a cozy night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Defer to a partner or a group of friends. Your caring might be more important to an emotional loved one than you realize. Zero in on your priorities. Make time for this person later in the day. A meeting also might need to be scheduled. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be concerned about a project and can’t seem to pull yourself away. You might have triggered a lot of strong feelings, not only around you but also within yourself. Take time to think through your decisions. A cohort could be instrumental in the process. Tonight: Out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You refuse to be reined in. You’ll want to enjoy yourself with several close friends. Take care of what you must, and handle certain key responsibilities. Make it OK to take off for part of the day. You likely will need some downtime. Tonight: Be a little naughty and nice!
