Horoscope: Sept. 16

Aries (March 21-April 19): However strong-willed you are, you’re not entirely inflexible. You will adapt to the needs of your loved ones.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Do what’s right, even if it’s hard. Sort out situations reasonably, and don’t be led or even swayed in the slightest by your appetites.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You may not feel obligated to anyone, but it takes only a hint for you to realize that you are. You’ll proudly fulfill your obligation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ve sometimes been the kind of friend who asked for little and gave a lot. But for now, seek a more equitable arrangement.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Before you make a decision that affects another person, really put yourself in his or her shoes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You expect a lot of yourself. Holding another person to this expectation, however, will bring disappointment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Thinking ahead helps you economize both your time and money.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your independence is legendary. You, quite simply, take care of yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don’t smile because you want or need something from others. Not everyone is like you, though. You’ll be wise to give a thought as to their motives.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What others consider romantic, you find silly, false and misleading. You’d rather be spared the melodrama.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you can’t seem to find a moment to yourself, it’s probably because everyone thinks you’re the life of the party.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A rush of feeling will come over you. Why try to stop the emotions from happening?

Today’s birthday (Sept. 16): All will be impressed by your creative drive. You will transform ordinary resources into extraordinary beauty. October brings a mentor and a financial backer. December builds bonds of love and friendship. Gemini and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 1, 14, 28 and 21.
