Horoscope: Sept. 2

Aries (March 21-April 19): Staying focused on your own work is often a good idea. But right now you might be enriched by peeking at what others are doing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Relationships change: expand, contract and shape-shift. Treat love like it’s a living and breathing thing that needs sustenance.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Take a break from trying to understand or improve things. The answer will come when it’s good and ready.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It would be a mistake to theorize on the topic before all the facts have come in. What you assume might prove in the end to be false.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Be assertive. Inaction can cause more harm than willfully taking negative action.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Though you’ve been trying to think bigger, you still believe deep down that little things are most important. And you are right.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Know who you can trust, and keep your business completely away from anyone you cannot trust.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): What do you need to be happy? Your requirements have changed through the years, yet essentially remain: loving companionship and a nice bit of work.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As your sign mate Mark Twain said, “Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Advertising is a part of life. You’re in the business of selling you. You compose the “ad” as you get dressed and open your mouth to talk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You walk around with a greater sense of personal responsibility and change environments just by entering.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You will make a difference. Declare it to yourself, and the message will come through in all you do.

Today’s birthday (Sept. 2): You will follow your principles straight to financial success this month. A wayward loved one comes around in November. You’ll find a partner in creativity in December. Leo, Capricorn people adore you. Lucky numbers are 6, 2, 50, 12, 30.
