HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 13): All these years on the planet and you really have little idea of all you can do with this magnificent set of inner and outer powers and abilities you’ve been given. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 33, 28 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What happens in the world will influence you; however, it won’t control you unless you let it. Maintaining power over your experience will require creativity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There are good things about every state of being, even the ones you don’t prefer. “It could be worse” isn’t as powerful an approach as actually seeing what’s good about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Sometimes you feel like you’re a figment of your own imagination. You have, after all, taken an active part in creating this personality of yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): The same lake is defined as “joyous,” “ominous” “raging” and “quiet.” It is not a wonder that a lake can be all of those things, so it should come as no surprise that people are as capable of such mood shifts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An exchange of energy, ideas and feelings makes this day run on an exhilarating mood that will benefit and strengthen each individual, group and, indeed, the spirit of goodness at large.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There will be a focus on your potential as surmised by your- self and others, none of whom are qualified to make a guess, let alone a decision about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Part of you aspires to new heights of spiritual achievement and self-discovery. Another part of you wants to sit on the couch and watch a reality show.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The wolves circle. Matters of integrity and ethics are ignored by greedy people. You’ll be in a position to heroically interrupt this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some days don’t require you to think too far into the problem, and in fact you’re better off for approaching without too much mental gusto.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is very rare that one gets to be the person of the hour, toasted and lauded. But what’s not so rare, at least not for you, is to be quietly admired and respected behind your back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Solitude will fortify your spirit, clarify your mind and be a lot more fun than hanging around with the usual suspects. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The concept of “potential” can be tricky in general, and today it may be a source of frustration. Forget about potential. What’s happening now?
