An Exaggerated Opposition
The opposition of Mercury and Jupiter highlights the pull between who we are and who we say we are. It’s only natural to feature what we consider our better qualities to those we would like to impress, and perhaps even to ourselves in moments when we could use the bolstering. In today’s case, we start to grow into this shinier version of ourselves.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll provide something valuable when the moment is right. Until then, conserve your energy. Save your story for the audience who is curious about the subject and can apply the information.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll come up with a fix for the problem that plagues the group. It likely involves a compromise. No one will get all of what they want, but everyone will move forward with a few key benefits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stay aware of cost. At the diner of life, the prices are not always listed on the menu. Even something as mindless as a scroll through social media has a steep price tag that’s wrapped around your precious time and attention.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A principle of advertisement will apply to today’s endeavors: more exposure equals more response. The best ad in the world will fail if no one sees it. Play the numbers game today. Put the message out as many times as you possibly can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Winning the day doesn’t always mean you take home a prize because the victory is not the trophy. If you extract significant value from an experience, you’ve won. Outside acknowledgment is merely the cherry on top.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though at times you’ve felt like a pawn in someone else’s game of life, you’ve always been a royal in your own. And you can keep it that way even while serving someone today.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You gave without expecting a return. Not only that, you were more generous than you planned to be. Fulfilling need brings a rush of joy, which continues in a steady stream — and that’s only part of what’s coming back around.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Involving others enriches your entire experience, and you’ll also get much more accomplished with the extra help. You’ll achieve everything on your list and then some, and sharing the credit will make it all the sweeter.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The universe is a teacher that requires no prerequisites, only a sincere desire to learn. In today’s case, there is no preparing that will help, so just go forward with an open mind and heart and you’ll absorb the lesson.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Recognizing you want something different is the first part of change. Next comes a willingness to mess things up a bit, followed by a stage of encouraging yourself and supporting yourself through a new behavior. You’re ready for this.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you’ve tasted sweet inspiration, it’s hard to go back to arrangements that are merely “workable” or “tolerable.” Sometimes you don’t have a choice, but today, the choice is there but subtle. Tune in. There’s an eject button — you just have to look for it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s by digging into a dull situation that you really gain craft and the discipline of champions. Champions don’t wait for things like inspiration or motivation. Instead, they develop the skills to bring it.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25). Without meaning to, you cultivate a mysterious presence, drawing close those you’re interested in without even focusing on them, as yours is an indirect allure. Your connection with the natural world is highlighted in travel, animal encounters and art. More highlights: the key to a new kingdom, and ink on two significant deals. Aquarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 33, 28, 5 and 32.
