Horoscope: September 25, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Some opportunities are expected, others surprising but welcome. While the current link between the Sun and fortunate Jupiter indicates exciting ideas or offers of this nature, others could be so unexpected you won’t initially recognise them for what they are. Knowing that, explore absolutely everything that comes your way.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



For ages you’ve known certain potentially tricky issues involving those you’re close to, at work or in your personal life, needed attention. Now that your ruler Venus has moved to accent these matters, it’s time to tackle these. You needn’t be concerned. Happily, often they’ll pop up in the course of conversation.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



You’ve been in a lengthy, often demanding, but ultimately profitable cycle during which you’ve reviewed your lifestyle and worldly pursuits. This began with your ruler Mercury’s shift to accent these matters in late July and ends, with you much wiser, once Mercury moves into a new position, in early October.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



As much as you enjoy giving others a hand, allowing them to return the favour is something else entirely. However, judging by the current emphasis on exactly such matters, not only are certain individuals eager to return your kindness, they’re making plans to do so. Let them. It means a lot.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



If ever there was a time to be interested in absolutely everything that comes your way, it’s now. While it’s difficult to say the exact form the wonderful ideas, offers or events triggered by the link between your ruler the Sun and Jupiter will take, you can be sure they’ll be fabulous.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Nobody is more thoughtful or supportive when the need is there, which has been the case recently, and in a wide range of situations. Satisfying as being helpful in this way can be, you’ll be relieved to learn life will be calmer, which means you’ll finally get a well-deserved break.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Sooner or later you’ll have to get the facts about certain increasingly perplexing arrangements. While in the past these weren’t that important, recently they’ve become more central to your life or the circumstances of those closest. The more time you invest in learning about these situations, the easier it will be.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Having ‘right on your side’ may be satisfying. However, it’s easy to forget that others’ convictions could be just as powerful. Knowing that, be open about the intensity of your feelings, and encourage everybody else to do the same. The resulting insights could eliminate ongoing tensions, and within hours.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



After a productive but demanding couple of months, you’re enjoying the resulting sense of accomplishment. But you also need a break. Not only is it time to slow your pace and focus on life’s pleasures, in the process you may well discover intriguing new pursuits and people you find fascinating.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



There are several ways to say ‘no’, some of which are firm and unarguable. But now, with so much uncertain, in both circumstances and your own priorities, you may want to express your reservations in a less forthright manner, one that will make it easier to change your mind.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Appealing as the idea of making a single, lasting decision may be, in most current situations, it simply isn’t realistic. Not only are these you’re dealing with shifting, so are your own priorities, far more than you’d have imaged possible, only recently. The more flexible your attitude, the better.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Even the most logical of Pisceans has a deep belief in the power of destiny. At the moment, therefore, it’s worth knowing that with fortunate Jupiter accenting joint ventures, and for a year, there’s no better time than now to get together with others, make plans and, importantly, think big.
