HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Dare to slow down for a minute to observe less obvious options.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When someone near seems a little blue, you hope to overturn the trend with your compassion and maybe a little levity.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You believe that what’s worth having is worth working for. Try to set an unfair situation right.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There will be absolutely no benefit to sacrificing your plans for the sake of entwining your life with someone else’s today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): By seeing both the big picture and the small (perhaps bothersome) details, you’ll get an accurate view of the emotional landscape.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It will be rather easy to see the difference between bravado and bravery, and between the poseurs and the performers.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): In order to stay inside your own power zone today you’ll need to be aware of the subtle forms of control that people may try to assert.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Lately you’re conscious of trying to be laid-back about relationships. This will be much appreciated now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Filmmakers aren’t the only ones who benefit from knowing when to go close and when to back up for the wide angle.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the name of wholeness, you’ll be pulling together polarities within you — strengths and weaknesses. There’s power in accepting it all. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You realize that any business you get into is going to have a certain outlay that

you’ll have to recoup before you make a profit. Go for the sweat-based instead of the cash-based investment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll go out of your way to create fun and excitement. Just keep it positively focused!

Today’s birthday (Sept. 14): There’s a rebelliousness that accompanies this solar return, and you’ll overturn the status quo to get more control over your destiny. A flight of fancy will turn into something lucrative at year’s end. You’ll form a tight team for a victory that serves all in January. Something you lost will return to you in 2018. Leo and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 18, 45, 22 and 37.
