For Thursday, Sept. 13:

This year the unexpected has become a theme in your life, especially as a partner or loved one tends to express an unpredictable energy. You often feel like you have to start over at square one and crawl your way back up to the top. This struggle is more symbolic than realistic. If you are single, you could meet someone very special through your work. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy making public appearances together.
