Solar Squares and Flares
The sun squared with Jupiter indicates status games and other kinds of social stress. This aspect can turn a strong sense of self into an exaggerated one. People will be set off by the strangest, small infractions because it seems so important to be right. Instead of digging in your heels, use them to walk away from what can’t possibly matter tomorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be inspired by those born to seemingly impossible situations that they responded to in such a way as to carve out a good life. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like an athlete who relies on muscle memory and instinct to navigate the game, instinct will guide you in making a quick judgment in a high-pressure or rapidly changing situation, where there’s little time to analyze.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The plot of your life will seem to yield to the best ideas. A pattern gets interrupted by a better idea, which you’ll act on time and again in the weeks to come, establishing a rhythm you’re better suited to.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Balanced relationships roll along while the unbalanced ones wobble and jolt, knocking your ego in the process. But at least they teach you what you’re insecure about, and where to focus improvement efforts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It can feel like you are deciding who you are on a moment-to-moment basis, but the small decisions might be automatic reactions to something you decided long ago. The day shines the light of introspection on the past.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some relationships aren’t fun at all — not even a little bit. Still, you’re happy for the experience because it’s given you skill, experience and wisdom. This is why you’re open to pursuing new ties.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Self-rejection is weakening. Instead, you accept and embrace however you naturally feel and think, as it’s a starting point you can work with. It’s safe to let your thoughts run wild, as they will settle into orderliness.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When people mistakenly believe they have more or less control than they do, that’s when trouble sets in. The power move of the day involves knowing what is within your realm of influence and sticking with it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s said that high art is subjective, so if everyone likes it, it’s probably not very good. In some way you will be an artist today, pushing boundaries and making the bold moves that best express you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s so exciting to think about how the world changes just because you bring friends together. Plan to do it again. When you connect people, in a way it makes you an architect of fate.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Since you have no idea of the scale most befitting of your abilities, start small, get a win or two, and grow from there. And though at this point you’re not performing for the applause, the applause will come.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your inner world can be a stunningly beautiful place, though, like all places, it is subject to weather. Reading is a powerful tool against patterns of thinking that don’t contribute to your well-being.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 12). You’re not fearless, but this year you’ll be friendlier toward it because it comes with taking on the kind of life that expresses you the best. You’ll risk and invest what’s necessary to make your dream come true. More highlights: you’ll gain position, friends and allies. You’ll become passionately interested in a subject that leads you to travel and compete. Sagittarius and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 10, 50 and 1.
