For Sunday, Sept. 16:

You’ll make headway this year, especially if you fine-tune your listening and talking skills. Sometimes you might feel despondent, like you have pushed too hard and are not getting the response you want. When you are looking for reactions, center yourself. Though you are very sensitive, you often misread people this year. A change could occur professionally in which you finally greet your highest ideals. If you are single, that special person could appear anywhere from midyear on. This relationship will go into your history book. If you are attached, the two of you discover that the embers of love flare in 2008. Enjoy. SCORPIO helps you look at life differently.

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 might want to use this day of rest just for yourself. Observe a tendency to be too indulgent. Just be aware that there are always ramifications. A conversation with a dear friend or loved one opens up possibilities. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Someone might dominate in your life far more than you would like. Know when to pull back and nicely say enough. Otherwise, you might be avoiding this person. Be direct. In the long run, it will work better. Tonight: Let a loved one choose.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Deferring might be the right action, but convincing others could be futile. Still, you can choose to go in your own direction. Claim your power, and you will feel much better far more quickly. Tonight: Know when to call it quits.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your romantic nature could be stirred easily if you are at the right place in life. Your creativity surges. There is no lack of ideas or suggestions around you. Know that there are answers to nearly everything, if you seek them. Tonight: Fun and games.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Stay centered and invite others over for a relaxing lunch, dinner or barbecue. Get into the role of host or hostess with the most. Your perception of someone might not be accurate. Consider tossing the rose-colored glasses. Tonight: Happy at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Because you are distracted, whatever you start seems to go south. Stop and make time for those you want to be with, and let go of what no longer interests you. Listen to your inner voice and what you want. Tonight: Hanging out is fun.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Once you let go, it might be difficult to rein yourself in. A child or loved one entices you to continue on a recent indulgence or fun happening that might be a touch risky. Stop. Do you really want this? Tonight: Treat someone you care about to dinner.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ You smile, and others respond. With this type of magnetism, ask yourself who you want to be with and under what circumstances. A friend has important news waiting just for your ears. You will smile. Tonight: As you wish.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Know when to back off, and you might be a lot happier than hanging in for better or for worse. Don’t look at this as running away, but more as a situation where you know to cool your jets. Tonight: Get extra R and R.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Your friends push and pull to have you join them. They are so bold, you could scarcely call this behavior manipulation. It is clearly downright assertive. You are happiest with your pals. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Be aware that your choices impact many. Someone might look to you as a role model. He or she barely realizes just how confused you are. Be open about not knowing the right direction. Tonight: In the limelight.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ If you can take off on a day trip, do. Don’t allow anyone or anything to stop you. Remember, this is your day off as well. A friend or loved one meets you halfway. Don’t count on your intuition right now. Tonight: Reach out for someone at a distance.
