Horoscopes 9-5-2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's no way to tell which of today's setbacks will be absolutely the luckiest thing that could have happened, but you can be sure that one of them falls into the category. Stay open to hidden possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Purposeful energy is attractive. Perhaps that's why you're drawn to someone who is on a quest. You may even suspect that you have what this person is looking for, and you'd be right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may share common beliefs with your neighbor, but the way you express and act on those beliefs isn't the same at all. You're getting a chance to exercise tolerance and you're a happier person when you do.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A friend offers you an opportunity to test the unknown. The change will do you good, especially if it's the one suggested by a Sagittarius. You will be surprised what you enjoy when you give it a chance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Offer the benefit of the doubt wherever possible. When you think highly of someone, they react to you using their very best etiquette, resources and abilities. Tonight, don't try to solve people's problems. Just listen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Attention to aesthetics will forward your business as well as your romantic interests. There is nothing phony about making an impression. Taking the time to be stylish is just plain good manners.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take a break from being the group mastermind. You don't have to be “on” all of the time. Back up and be a relaxed observer of the dynamics around you. You're learning and growing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are some arguments that you can never win, and you actually wouldn't be any better off if you could. Know when to walk away. Say your final piece and leave it at that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The things you really want are interconnected. Make health your top priority, and other unrelated personal goals are attained in the process. It's a cheerful, high-energy night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When it comes to your customers, clients or boss, you're not content to have merely their approval. You want their respect, loyalty, and undying affection would be nice, too. That's why you work harder.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Leading the pack is no small feat today. If you can get anyone to follow directions, stick to your plan or see your vision, consider yourself a major success. Tonight, your charisma is off the charts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead of wondering if someone loves you, figure out how to love yourself. Part of your self-care is making sure you have enough challenging and interesting work to keep you creatively stimulated.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). You have the attractive habit of reinventing yourself this year. Because of this, your friends may accuse you of finding the fountain of youth. For work or love, you are best suited to partners who enjoy and collaborate with your experiments. In January, a teacher imparts exactly the knowledge you need. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 39, 2 and 16.

Horoscopes 9-5

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You would like to be able to surrender your own will to the will of the heavens, but faith doesn't always come easily. So it's nice when you find out that what you want is also best for everyone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Where there's a spotlight, step into it. If the forum is open to questions, ask one. When there's a need for volunteers, be one. Making yourself more visible to others will help you identify or hone your talent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel a little bit lost. When you ask for guidance, you get it. And you'll probably find out in the process that you're not as bad off as you thought you were. You're pretty close to the goal now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Somewhere along the line your creativity was squelched by the practical sort of person who simply didn't understand you. Now you're inspired to use your imagination and make up for lost time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's the perfect time for wandering. Go off purpose. See places you're not particularly interested in. Communicate with people you have no business talking to. Bring on your own awakening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In these mercurial times, being merely adaptable simply isn't enough. Why be amenable to change when you can fall in love with it? Seek pleasure in the knowledge that everything is becoming something different.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Oh, the shenanigans you'll get into. It looks like a barrel of laughs to an outside observer; however, your experience is probably different. You may even wonder whether this kind of fun is worth the work involved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You were the one to start a project. Someone else has taken over and is leading things in a different direction than the one you would have chosen. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Keep an open mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Prayer comes in many forms. Today, your thoughts are your prayers and so are the questions you ask yourself. You're deepening a union with the mysteries of your own heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Who can do it better than you? Probably no one. Still, you can't do everything. Sooner or later you have to delegate. Your choice of candidates isn't perfect, but it's certainly adequate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stay in control. Go cautiously into new situations. Promise nothing, but don't say you promise nothing. Use only a few choice words to convey where you're at and your intentions for the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've been keeping it together for a long time, and it's coming easier to you. You never lacked brains, but you must admit that you're now smarter than you ever were. You solve today's problems in a snap.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4). You're so well liked that over the next seven weeks your pals might actually fight for your exclusive attention.

Relationships go to the next step in January. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 50, 21, 43 and 6.

Horoscopes 9-3-2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It doesn't matter what you do, it's the spirit in which you do it that matters. So whatever the task before you may be, it's the perfect task for you to exercise the playful, clever, tender and mischievous parts of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your tenacity makes the difference. You not only succeed where others have succeeded, but you'll succeed where others have failed. Take a break or a breath, but keep it to the minimum. And then keep going.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's easy for you to be caring because you genuinely cherish your loved ones and act accordingly. However, you do have a lot on your plate now, which is distracting your attention from those who normally get it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're recovering from a past loss. This may have happened ages ago, but there are still raw spots that come up now and again. You're ready to deal now, and so you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Let go of the little bothersome details and you'll start to see what really matters. You have more control over a situation than you realized. This afternoon brings the perfect opportunity to exercise your power.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Obsessive thought patterns get a bad rap. You find a way to positively channel those thoughts you can't let go. You get what you think about, whether you want it or not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). That perfectly neat stack of work gets ruffled by a breeze, the freshly washed car gets sprinkled on – things happen. Therefore, spending too much time on details is futile. Leave what's good enough alone for now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is luck in the form of an unexpected opportunity. New distractions happen for a reason – there's something perfect for you. Allow yourself to explore what interests you even if it's not in the plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's extremely tempting to overexert your influence, perhaps by interrupting, talking too loud or overtaking a situation that is not exactly your business. Instead, choose silent power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is asking for a relationship that is rich in both love and money an impossibility? No, as long as you have your priorities straight, you can throw in a request for happiness, too, while you're at it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As yoga enthusiasts know, “Prana” is a force of vitality in the air. You're breathing it in and letting it activate your mind and body with very little interference. What was difficult yesterday is now done in a snap.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've lately fallen into the habit of putting someone else before your own well-being. Devote extra time to taking care of yourself. This might mean preparing a proper meal or soaking in the tub. Do it just for you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3). Instead of following conventional wisdom, you follow the wisdom of your heart and find a deep and resounding fulfillment. A new soul drifts into the picture this month – someone you will never tire of. Play your hunches in November. Your psychic powers increase as you act on them. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 32, 4 and 18.

Horoscopes 9-2

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're known for having the right thing to say and expressing it in the perfect moment. Others may ask you to handle important details. Your memory is excellent and your ability to concentrate is unsurpassed.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are things you know, but you don't know why you know them. This knowledge is important, essential and quite loud in your head this afternoon. Of course you should act on it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have the power to move people, except that it doesn't feel anything like power. It just feels like you being natural, honest and vulnerable. There's nothing required of you other than just to be yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone has some mean self-definition they boot down to in moments of insecurity. So when you find yourself internally calling yourself names like a naughty 8-year-old on the playground, know that it's a human thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The people, things and situations that would be normally seductive to you are now more enticing than ever. It's fine to do some wandering in the areas that interest you; just don't wander in too far.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're so private. You could be a spy if you wanted to be. So it's a rare day that you're willing to give up a secret – someone else's or yours. But you'll do just that today and be met with rapt interest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being successful is about timing now and your most successful quality is just that – fabulous timing. You'll be in the right place at the right time by the right person. All you have to do is speak up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don't want to rock the boat. However, it's better not to bottle your feelings up. Express yourself quickly, clearly and briefly. This type of communication sets the stage for many happy hours of together time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Nothing bonds you with loved ones like a big project with an impossible timeline. Share the mission with any and all capable people around you. You'll have funny stories by the end of this quest.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 2). Your playfulness knows no bounds. A joyful spree raises your energy this month. Romance is the natural byproduct of your zesty approach to life. Your team spirit is rewarded and you'll be put in charge of important projects in November. In January, you get even better at what you do best. Pisces and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 24, 31 and 18.
