Horoscope: Sept. 24

Aries (March 21-April 19): Avoid the tendency to be too intensely self-managed. Stay focused on the big picture, and use broad strokes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your people long to hear from you. This makes you feel both happy to be loved and stressed about possibly not having enough time.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you take a risk, you may lose your footing momentarily. But if you don’t take the risk, you’ll lose your sense of adventure.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are naturally beautiful. Instead of hiding the scars, lines and spots, try highlighting them — if not physically, then metaphorically.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Having the confidence to meet someone’s energy level will be an important part of the way your business goes down today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At some point today, you’ll want to ask: Why are you telling me? Ask internally, then observe your subject: You’ll learn all you want to know.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Goals that are too easily attained won’t shape your character or give you the confidence you need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are like a computer today — much depends on your preference settings. Revisit your internal software.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are a bit of a tightrope walker now. You’ll tiptoe a tenuous line that is upheld by two important support systems in your life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You love people, and you use things — never the other way around. Not everyone believes as you do.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be well aware of the give and take in a relationship, especially the finer terms that can go unnoticed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You honor the way that each of your relationships is different and how each one serves a unique purpose.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 24): You’re a dynamo. A single task keeps your attention through the next six weeks, and you won’t rest until you have accomplished it. Bonus money shows in November. Another big deal comes through in July. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 1, 23, 48 and 18.
