For Monday, Sept. 2

This year you have more drive and energy than usual. You have what it takes to hit a home run! If you are single, make a point to get to know someone well before even thinking about committing. If you are attached, both of you need to devote more one-on-one time to the relationship.

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’ll seem nearly unstoppable, but you might have a difficult moment when an associate challenges you. Don’t take it personally – just respond appropriately. Tonight: Go with the unexpected.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• You have many opinions and ideas. Someone might let you know that he or she has had more than his or her fill of information; not everyone is interested in the same topics you are. Tonight: Hang out with pals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• The need to express yourself is crucial to your well-being. A child or new friend might come off as being rather testy. Tonight: Buy a coveted item that you have been wanting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Listen to news more openly, and don’t get bogged down in a family member’s tale of woe. This person has been a downer lately. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
