HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): How would you feel if nothing changed about your situation — not in five years or 10 years or ever? If that thought is intolerable, make the necessary adjustment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The activities you’ve chosen for the day require a certain degree of hardiness. Bouncing back is as much a skill as not falling.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Create a plan for what to do if the worst should happen. Doing this will help you to stop worrying.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll make choices that bring you closer to the people you want to be close to and distance you from negative influences.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): What you do to make the environment more pleasant for yourself will improve things for others, too, so don’t hesitate to speak up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It won’t take much to capture the imagination of those around you. Once you have their attention, you’ll do something useful with it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your advantage today will be your ability to adjust to how others perceive things.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): An intellectual approach may be appropriate for the situation, but the wisest decisions get made when you also involve your emotions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): There’s really no such thing as pointless chatter today. Listen carefully.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Accept yourself for who you are, flaws and all. This helps you to accept other people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The answers you’re looking for can be found in your immediate environment. Slow down and look.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Honesty and integrity are important in all of your relationships, especially the romantic ones. You would like to know the real person and not the person the other person thinks you want to see.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 9): This year is one big talent show that invites you to perform over and over. The improvements to your environment this month will favorably affect relationships. It will be especially difficult to balance work and play when the end of the year brings such a wonderful playmate. Money months are March, May and July. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 14 and 1.
