Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Tuesday, Sept. 8. Enigmatic, purist and performative, you have a powerful effect on people. Puzzling to some, worshipped by others, this year you straighten things out, and in the latter half you achieve stellar career success. If single, you yearn to have one partner when you have several. If attached, you might find yourself especially demanding of your partner this year. Let him or her breathe, and bliss will be attained. LIBRA needs harmony.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★ Develop patience and use your experience before acting on security matters. Guesswork isn’t a good idea today for exuberant Aries. Be aware of how past habits affect your finances. Change what hasn’t been beneficial to you. Tonight: Some deep meditation would be helpful.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★★★ Today brings a further focus on your individuality. Your personality opens doors. Devote attention to goals that really matter. Shop for bargains and pursue ways to add to your earning powers. Your desire to learn leads you to worthwhile discoveries. Tonight: Up late and excited.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
★★★ Keep a sense of humor during social situations. Today is a pivot for tense aspects. A kind word or ignoring a slip-up from another is wisest now. Adapt to the economic cycles or the times and all will be well. Tonight: Contemplate your deepest dreams.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
★★★★ Maintain a positive mindset; your attitude creates your reality. Your emotions serve as motivators. You will have a deep sense of direction. A meaningful love relationship can be a factor. The day brings a great deal of excitement. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
★★★ Today brings a somewhat frustrating career situation. But not one you can’t overcome. Work cooperatively and as a team -- even if you’re not -- for best results. Accept others as they are and use your creative ideas constructively. Tonight: Catch up with old friends.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
★★★★ A sudden travel opportunity should not be passed up. The change of scene could transform your entire life’s direction for the better. Physical activities bring out your best intellectual potentials, so don’t forget to exercise today. Tonight: Go somewhere different.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
★★★★★ Your excellent communication skills serve you well today. Changes and events that began in the early summer provide clues as to what is happening now. Confusion related to cash flow clears. An old work associate contacts you unexpectedly. Tonight: It’s good news.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
★★★★ Today makes good manners and sincerity a must in matters of the heart. Recognize what is and is not real in romance. You may find yourself committing to future plans for a relationship. Tonight: Talk it over with one you consider a mentor.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
★★★ A nurturing and loving relationship with a pet can be very beneficial to your wellbeing. But if an animal is too difficult to care for, a new home might be the wisest solution for all concerned. Tonight: Give yourself a break.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan 19):
★★★★ A longtime relationship may very well reach a turning point. Your romantic needs are going through an adjustment period. New attractions are possible. The sense of disappointment and denial of the past years are cleared briefly today. Tonight: Dare to date.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
★★★ Work on cooperation rather than competition. Relationships can be exciting but not peaceful today. An important turning point affects a long-term commitment. Catch up with a long-lost family member who might need your help. Tonight: Go to bed especially early.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
★★★★ You’re ready to explore and wander. Reflect upon a world map to help intuit the best places for moves or visits. Obstacles posed by communication gaps or ornery neighbors are easily overcome. You can take care of immediate transportation needs. Tonight: Talk it out.
