Horoscope: Sept. 19

Aries (March 21-April 19): What you think about your friends may have been true, but it’s time for another look. Everyone in your circle is evolving, maturing and becoming more interesting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your random recollections add color and spice to your current scene. Fall in love with the way your mind works — other people have.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): There is no denying that you have been shaped by your physical body, your relationships and your socioeconomic circumstances. Yet you feel certain that your life will be as you create it.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Happiness begets happiness. Mustering up the first moments of joy will be the hardest part — but so worth the effort. Once you do it, you’ll open up an avalanche of good feeling.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You care deeply, and sometimes that makes life painful for you. But more often, it makes life grand. Besides, it’s better than not caring at all. Embrace your own passionate sensitivity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The problem with being as conscientious as you are is that there are times when your head spins with so many responsibilities and possibilities that you don’t know what to do. Empty it all onto paper.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are an expert in relationships, but that doesn’t mean you like to be around people at all times. Right now you need space to gather up your energy.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The way you decide who is on your side and who isn’t may not be entirely effective. More people are on your side than you realize.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have paid a fair price — maybe even a steep price — for help or goods received. Look around: You can get a much better deal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The bustle isn’t for you — not now. You’ll amble along at a leisurely, strolling pace because the wise are also unhurried.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let your loved ones do and enjoy things in their own way, instead of stepping in and trying to “improve” the experience today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ve seen this situation before. But it’s not too late to change the outcome if you don’t like the direction it’s going.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 19): Loved ones celebrate you. Over the next 10 weeks, you’ll work on polishing distinct skills, and when you apply yourself, you’ll be paid handsomely. November and January are lucky times to make a move, renovate or invest. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers: 40, 1, 23, 41 and 3.
