HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 21): Over the next five weeks, a healing power soothes your sensitive soul. In November, you’ll be ready to play a bigger game professionally, and this affects lifestyle choices, too. The chance to commit yourself contractually comes in January. March amplifies your passion, and you’ll race to a finish line in May. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6,1,3, 24 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You don’t need to branch out to strangers now. Shake down your current circle of friends first, and get personal recommendations. Also, your friends will recommend you to others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Problems spin in your head for a reason: so that you can experience them from all angles. Your subconscious is magnificent, and there’s no reason to make it conscious at this point. Trust.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There will be very few instances in which it will be appropriate to share your opinions — e.g., not in someone else’s house, nor in general assembly. Share in private.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Even the most adamant rules followers will thrill to the reckless way you abandon constraints. You act as if you don’t care what anyone thinks.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can talk about your experiences and gain insights from others, but when all is said and done, you learn best from experiencing life firsthand.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be made more aware of what brings you down and also of what brings you up. An air sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) will live up to the reputation, bringing lighter spirits.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Each person you meet is a world connected to the world of other people on an endless chain. You’ll work to keep your reputation in line with who you really are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Wholesome aspirations hang low in the air, but so do a few other less than wholesome temptations. As the shorthand version of St. Augustine’s prayer goes: “Oh, God, please make me a saint, but not yet.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Just as nutritional needs are different from person to person, so are other needs. It takes emotional maturity not to impose your requirements on others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You want to be able to help everyone, and yet if you were to try, the people who most need your attention wouldn’t get it. Focus on your inner circle today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s not so strange that other people read your responses before you even realize you are responding. You are unselfconscious today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The universe seems to test your ability to keep your cool, but only because it’s preparing you for something bigger that will require the utmost patience.
