Horoscope: September 18, 2016

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Long ago you learnt that while certain individuals will offer to give you a hand with plans and projects, and that they’ll sometimes try to be helpful, it’s usually best to be self-reliant. However, now that fortunate Jupiter is accenting those plans and projects, you’ll be pleased and surprised what others contribute.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Recent exciting ideas or offers are forcing you to rethink arrangements you regard as settled. Changes will be disruptive but it’s clear that they’re in your best interests and, equally, that others will benefit. Knowing that, waste no time on debate but, instead, take things to the next stage.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Although everybody is influenced by the increase in minor errors triggered by your ruler Mercury being retrograde, as it will be until the 22nd, for you, it’s another matter. Often those errors or, equally, misunderstandings raise unsettling but crucial personal questions, issues you’ll benefit from tackling swiftly, and head on.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Since early in the month, you and everybody else have been wrestling with the unruly and, often, disruptive events triggered by September’s dramatic planetary activity. Unsettling as what’s taken place has been, hopefully, by now you’re also beginning to recognise the fact those changes are leading to exciting, and significant, progress.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Planning ahead may be a virtue. However, even at your most optimistic, it’s unlikely you could conjure up the fantastic ideas, offers or opportunities about to be triggered by the encounter between your ruler the Sun and fortunate Jupiter, on the 26th. Until then, be open-minded and keep your plans flexible.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Every once in a while it’s important to pause, and celebrate life as it is, right now. As somebody who plans, and often well ahead, you’ll put off any such celebrations until everything’s been done and dealt with. But it’s been a long haul. Take a break. You deserve it.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



This Thursday, the 22nd, is a big day for everybody but an especially important one for you. While Mercury ending its retrograde cycle will be celebrated by one and all, you’ll be delighted to learn the Sun moves into Libra on the same day, beginning a month of renewal and joy.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Although the Sun’s encounter with the fortunate Jupiter isn’t until the 26th, you could already be benefiting from its bounty. This could take the form of people you meet or ideas that come from out of the blue. Whomever or whatever is involved, what’s heading your way is worth exploring.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Be wary of those who deal with dramatic developments or sudden events by analysing everything in detail. While this works for them, it would drive you crazy. And if they’re family, loved ones or a close colleague, so you can’t escape, don’t dwell on these. Simply change the subject.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Don’t be surprised if, over the coming week or so, you both hear and, bizarrely, are forced to state differing versions of the facts. While under ordinary circumstances that wouldn’t be possible, with Mercury ending its retrograde cycle on the 22nd, and meeting truthful Pluto twice, that’s exactly what will happen.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Long ago you learnt that arguing with somebody whose already made crucial decisions achieves little. Although it’s unlikely you’ll change their opinions, you can learn a lot from asking about the sources of their views and their current thinking. You’ll learn a lot, and have an illuminating discussion.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Although the powerful Pisces eclipsed Full Moon was a few days ago, you’re still dealing with the fallout from it. While much of what arose was unsettling, possibly upsetting your status quo. But, then, that’s what eclipses are all about. You’ll soon realise those seemingly disruptive events were actually breakthroughs.
