horoscope
September 2007
By Dan Liebman
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
September finds you branching out — starting a business, taking on a fresh assignment or becoming passionately involved in a hobby. Your timing is great, as is your sense of humour. If you’ve ever dreamed of doing standup, there couldn’t be a better month.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
September offers excellent work opportunities, but it’s up to you to create them. Watch out for someone offering the shirt off your back. You’re a bit too generous around the 15th. It’s a good time for activities that involve craftsmanship.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
You’re eager to take on causes, challenges and bullies, but choose your battles carefully. Your surroundings are chaotic early in the month (plan on last-minute arrivals), but calm returns by the 17th. Your memory for detail proves to be a huge asset as you negotiate a deal.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
You’re intuitive about the people you meet now, spotting their motives a mile away. A family-related impasse ends as one of the holdouts makes a key compromise. As summer shifts into fall, you develop a keen interest in sports. You’re also feeling less closed in.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
The first half of September is a good time for research projects, meditation and yoga. You’re extroverted during the second half, which highlights creative output and entrepreneurship. There’s one hitch, however: holding a grudge can hold you back.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
You’re about to meet a bunch of people who share your quirky sense of humour. Checking the news and being a shrewd observer — or eavesdropper — proves highly valuable. Be wary. A relative’s expectations can easily pressure you into taking on more than you really want to handle.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
Simplify your surroundings and stay away from risky ventures this month. Keep in mind that an authority figure is observing the way you deal with challenging situations. There’s something you’ve been wanting to say for a long time, the right moment appears sometime between the 11th and 26th.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
The emphasis is on joint ventures and shared finances. As well, you and your partner — professional or romantic — are more comfortable discussing subjects that you’ve both been avoiding. Devise a health and fitness game plan for the fall months.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
September marks the start of an extended period of achievement, and you’re more confident in your own opinions. It’s also an important month for catching up on correspondence. In finance, you tend to be too trusting, especially after the 17th.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
Build on recent successes, not in a splashy way but by quietly demonstrating your communication skills. Don’t shy away from public speaking invitations. Late September finds you involved in a family function. It doesn’t matter that it’s someone else’s family.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Life is more structured, but by no means dull. Take advantage of this situation by making long-range plans, seeking out ways to earn money or doing home repairs. Consider running for office or taking on a diplomatic assignment.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Your ideas are large but not unrealistic, they just need to be refined before you present them. Resolve small disputes — domestic or professional — before they’re blown out of proportion. Your nurturing side is revealed late in the month as you tend to someone in distress.
