Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Sept. 20, 2013: This year you will pull white rabbits out of a black hat – you are that lucky! You can transform any situation you choose to. Your friends provide a lot of support. If single, you could attract a close-to-perfect suitor. Take your time getting to know this person. If attached, the two of you benefit enormously from spending one-on-one time together. Learn to express your feelings more openly, too. Aries likes to have intense conversations with you. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Aries all day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Choosing not to respond to someone’s power play will take a lot of self-discipline.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You’ll want to distance yourself from a very controlling individual who creates a lot of pressure and tension wherever he or she goes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You know what you want, and when obstacles appear one right after the other, you easily will find a way to bypass them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Stay focused on what you want. You might be told that you seem to be oriented in one and only one direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You can be impulsive, especially when you are detached. When you feel so free, trouble easily will find you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Deal with a partner or key persons in your life directly. Someone might cop an attitude, but it won’t be for long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You’ll want to head in a different direction, but someone could exhibit a provocative and controlling attitude that might restrict you more than you realize.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • You see no other course but the one you currently are on. Your instincts are to throw yourself 100 percent into this chosen direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • You’ll come up with novel approaches to difficult situations. You are likely to surprise those in your immediate circle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You might not have intended to be a roadblock for a lot of people, but it appears as though your stubborn ways contribute to that perception.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • Stop and think before you engage a difficult person in conversation. Are you really ready to end the workweek on a sour note?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Keep conversations moving. You might want to avoid a controlling person. Don’t worry – you’ll be so busy that you won’t cross paths unless you choose to.
