Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009: Focus on family, security and possible investments this year. Review your priorities, and act only then. You relate with ease through December. Many unexpected developments could occur from March on, encouraging you to think in new, dynamic ways. If you are single, don’t consider any budding relationship committed until it is. Do count on excitement. If you are attached, honor your differences, and be ready to ride the wave of change. Encourage your partner to do the same. Life becomes exciting. Capricorn serves as an anchor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Take the lead, and others will follow. Someone who cares as much as you do states his or her feelings. The unexpected opens up unthought-of doors. Use these insights when relating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Take off for the day. Opt for a different setting. Others enjoy you when you are detached and centered, like you will become today. You cannot underestimate the role of a different setting. A child or loved one might want to talk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) •••• You cannot avoid a talk. You might have tried very hard to avoid certain vulnerabilities, but perhaps it is better to put all your cards on the table. An older relative or friend could head in a new direction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Defer to others. Choosing where and who you want to be with is your call. Surprising news heads in your direction, encouraging perhaps a change of plans, if not opinion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Complete a project. A partner could be touchy. Take your time deciding just how to work through this person’s issues. If you feel as if you cannot make a difference, then let it go. A walk or going out for an early movie adds to the afternoon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• Let your creativity come out in whatever you are doing. A child or loved one lets you know how much he or she appreciates your time and caring. Feelings come forward. Open up to those close to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• Stay centered and close to home. You might have a project or two you want to complete. People could lose their temper out of the blue. If you can, defuse the situation. A talk with a dear friend is the perfect time to share news.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Call friends and family, and catch up on their news. A neighbor might share some gossip! Your ability to draw many together emerges. Look at what you want in reality. Stop hedging.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Be more contained and conscious of your financial standing and what you need to do and not do. Think in terms of growth and a newfound flexibility. A partner could be out of whack. At what point do you just let it be?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Your high energy attracts many. Make plans that allow for greater flexibility. Surprises head in that require you to make a decision. Be careful expressing your frustration toward a partner. You just might light a fire that could be difficult to put out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• Don’t take a comment personally. Someone might be testing your limits or finding out more about your feelings. A partner could feel as if he or she is shut out of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Zero in on what you want and head there. Friends want to join you, no matter what type of plans you have. Loosen up and just enjoy. It is possible to be too responsible. Let go more often. A partner tends to be critical.
