For Monday, Sept. 9

This year you will want to communicate more, but you often might feel as if something is holding you back. A sibling or someone in your daily environment could be difficult. If you are single, you do not need to look for anyone. If you are attached, the two of you seem inclined to break past some of your barriers.
