For Monday, Sept. 17:

This year you express your compassion, which you demonstrate through your actions. You often will carry more than your share of responsibilities, and will handle them magnificently. If you are single, you could attract someone who is emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you gain through mini escapes from reality into your own world.
