HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Learning to manage those who accept and embrace you can be even more tricky than managing the ones who turn you down.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Cut down the middle. State your truth. Speak your feelings and intentions honestly.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): As for that person who rubs you the wrong way — well, this may never change. Directly following your encounter you’ll need to recalibrate yourself back to the goodwilled, empathetic person you usually are.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The trick is to apply emotion where it should be applied and leave it out of everything else.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s a treat to be around you now. You make people feel good, as you listen and respond warmly because you’re genuinely interested.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let nothing diminish your confidence. You’re giving your best and can be proud of that, regardless of the result.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your day will be enhanced by the break you get when things don’t go as planned. It’s up to you to see the opportunity in this. It’s the follow-up questions that open doors.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You think you know how you really feel, but you don’t until you write about it. Your way will be made smoother through the increased selfknowledge.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The outer signs point to life on the up and up. Inwardly there’s some turmoil.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You feel like you’re a different person from who you were last year, so it’s a little surprising when history repeats.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You usually don’t care what people think of you, but this time your loved ones are also being assessed in your reflected light.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): As for the obstacle that lands in your road today, don’t go overthinking this — the solution is not clever. Likely, the best way is just to put on your metaphorical climbing shoes and get yourself over it.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 11): You’ll build on the work of the last three months to create what no one was expecting, least of all you. Delighting people becomes somewhat of a hobby for you. November brings a victory. Highlights of 2017 will include teaching the inexperienced, protecting the innocent and adventuring with the worldly. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 42, 3, 28 and 33.
