HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19). You can access great contentment through your senses, emotions and detached observations.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Avoid getting stuck in an unhelpful brain loop that includes a lot of time jumping.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). To meet today’s challenge, it will help if you ratchet up your power in the situation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). When it comes to winning your affection, the people you don’t know have an unfair advantage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Not everything has to be assessed. In fact, overanalyzing can be tedious, and if done publicly, doubly so.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ideas can appear to be solid like mountains and continents when they are really more like changing weather. Ideas have an effect. But like a cloud crossing the sky, it’s an effect that passes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your feelings are not the enemy. Emotions are messages that connect you intimately to the adventure of being alive.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes the strongest response is nothing at all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you treat today’s social opportunity as if it were the first and only time people are going to get to hear what you have to say, you’ll likely deliver the message and overall impression you most want to get across.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wanting things to be different seems like the start of making them better, but it isn’t necessarily so. Acceptance is more powerful than wanting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A little surprise will wake you up, invigorate you and stimulate your curiosity.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Empathy and appreciation will go a long way toward helping you get comfortable and learn as much as you can about a new situation. When people sense that you feel and respect them, they’ll let you in.

Today’s Birthday (Sept. 9). Regardless of your relationship status, life is made better through happier and more equitable agreements with others. You’ll sharpen your communication skills and apply those skills to creating a better home life. You’ll execute a masterful performance in October. Awe-inspiring events happen in December and May. Aquarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 30, 14, 28 and 22.
