People adapt quickly to new rules and routines — much faster than you’d think. So don’t be afraid to change the game. In fact, a new game is very much needed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

You’re picking up skills, not all at once, but little by little over time. So don’t allow yourself to become impatient or bored or to think that life isn’t progressing fast enough. This timing you’re experiencing is rather perfect.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 2):

The solar return brings abundant health and vitality. You’ll do what you set out to do, so make sure it’s a terrific fit! Trial runs and tests are favored in the next six weeks. There’s an advantageous financial arrangement in December. You’ll advocate for someone in 2020; the karma you build with this will serve you later. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 2, 11, 18 and 40.
