Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19):

There’s a fine line between a heavy load that builds muscles and one that injures you. To avoid getting into too much, take what you think is the right amount and then back it down two notches.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Since you want to do and be the best, you’ll notice what’s working against that goal. You’re not looking for problems, but seeking opportunities for improvement leads naturally to the question: what could be better here?

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

Being too careful makes muscles tight and rigid, which is a fine way to stumble. So, you’ll relinquish a little control and keep it loose. You’d rather learn to sway and catch yourself than topple and land hard due to inflexibility.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

Don’t stress too much over domestic problems. They’ll get solved. Things needn’t be perfect in order to be livable in the short term. Those who visit are there to see you, not your home. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Logic is your weapon against false hope, stupid ideas and other wastes of resources. Just make sure it doesn’t also arm you against creativity and innovation. You’d be surprised at how many illogical journeys lead to logical places. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What makes a house a home can’t be bought. Style choices that represent you, keep you comfortable and surrounded by visuals that delight you require more creativity than money. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The answers are not in the attic of your mind, so there’s no need to crawl around in cobwebs. The answers are easily seen around you; just slow down to look.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):

Fascinating trends are part of the fun. Before you know it, you’re on a treadmill of social expectation. It’s harmless entertainment as long as you remember who’s in control. You can step off and do your own thing at any moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Happiness is understanding what matters most and spending your best energy there. The day holds victories with noble pursuits such as mastering a soup recipe or helping a child make peace with their bedtime.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Expressing yourself clears the way for you to live in better alignment with your values. You’ll somehow say things you didn’t even know you knew how to say — things you didn’t even know you were thinking.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Balancing work and play gets challenging when all you want to do is play and all that’s before you is work as far as the eye can see. This is where your creativity kicks in, and you have plenty of that too. You turn work into fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Questioning authority is a tenet of some cultures and in other cultures it is seen as disrespectful or even dangerous. As every group has a unique set of unspoken rules, seek understanding first and proceed accordingly.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 8):

Wonder what you could accomplish with a little emotional and financial support? You’ll soon find out. Relationships uplift and fortify you. You’ll know the thrill of accomplishment, the gratification of making a difference and the satisfaction of fulfilling your goal. Also, a professional move is highlighted. Gemini and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 12, 4, 44 and 18.
