For Monday, Sept. 1, 2003:

Whatever you do or focus on works. A special goal might be very important to you. You can and will achieve it with hard work. The liability here is that you might not want it once you get it. Another scenario could be that once you decide to get rid of the item — for instance, a house — you could have difficulty selling it. You start a very lucky life cycle this year, where you will expand. If something doesn’t happen naturally, don’t force it. What you want could be inappropriate. If single, there is no reason to maintain that status if you don’t want to. You could have several suitors to choose from. If attached, a relationship will flow because of your good will and ability to communicate your essence. SCORPIO understands you.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

• You relax with a friend or associate more than with groups. Keeping this fact in mind, you could enjoy a leisurely day enhancing your relationship and ultimate desires. A child or loved one would like you to come out and play! Tonight: Don’t push it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

• It is clear just how many options you really have. Pick and choose your activities with care. Truth be told, you cannot be everywhere all of the time. Make several calls to wish friends a happy Labor Day. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• A phone call delights you and heads you in a new direction. You might not be sure what kind of plans you want to make. What might be best for you is spending a leisurely day visiting with a pal or two. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

• Express your adoration for someone close to you. You tend to go overboard and to go to extremes with your feelings. In some way, you are like a mood ring, as you experience so many moods. Color yourself pink today. Tonight: Add to the heat of the night.

• Your dreams might be significant. You might get an inkling of how someone feels or why he or she is acting in the manner that he or she is. You will have a tendency to go overboard with a loved one, but that is what makes you so special. Tonight: Make it an early night.

• Don’t feel pressured to do anything, even if others are off celebrating Labor Day. You might need a timeout from others. Evaluate a special relationship. You might be unusually touchy. Tonight: Catch up on news via phone or e-mail.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

• You have a tendency to go overboard when you care about someone. Why would today be any different? Join friends for a celebration. Remember, not everyone judges you by what you give or how much you spend. Others could just care about you. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

• With the Moon in your sign, the world revolves around you, at least today. Make plans that delight you. Wherever you appear, others beam from ear to ear. Don’t be surprised at another’s proposition. Tonight: The only obstacle that could tumble in your way is you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

• Continue to take some time off. Don’t feel obligated to do anything. If you follow that prescription, you will renew and gain a new, vital perspective. Tonight: Yawn. Get some extra zzz’s.

• While you might want to take a break like many other signs, somehow you’re called to action. Possibly you might throw a party or bring others together. An older relative might need some extra attention. Tonight: In the limelight.

• Walk in another’s shoes and understand what might be ailing this special person. Recognize, as well, that you might have been more bellicose or touchy than in the past. Your nurturing actions do make a difference. Tonight: Do the untraditional.
