Horoscopes: Monday, Sept. 19, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A hypochondriac will read a list of symptoms and start to identify with a number of them. Then again, so will most people. It’s human to be impressionable. You’ll amp up the critical thinking to ward against easy influence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel frustrated that you’re not already where you wanted to be. Could you build some leeway into these requirements you made for yourself? Because it’s not about where you are but what direction you’re heading.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re better off moving quickly, especially through the landscape of your personal life. Don’t allow yourself too much time for making decisions. If you let it drag on, your interest will die out before it’s satisfied.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Negotiating well depends on how realistic you can be as you project yourself into the future. The less caught up you are with what you want out of the situation, the more you’ll be able to see what the other person can really offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is possible to busy oneself with a million tasks and still have a million left. For just a moment, slip into the sublime state in which there is nothing to do, and no one to be. When you come back, ask, what is necessary here?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be involved in the sort of busywork that never actually gets done, and therefore it will behoove you to impose artificial checkpoints in which you can stop, experience the satisfaction of working, reward yourself and rest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Mutually pleasing arrangements absolutely depend on knowing the preferences of others. Though your intuition is on today, you’ll still make the most effective bid when you begin with a discovery mission.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Prioritizing gets a little tricky today because many valued things will seem to need your attention at once. Take a breath; write it all down. You’ll see a logical structure rise from the calm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Asking for feedback is not the same as wanting validation. You’ve a strong enough sense of yourself that you can collect opinions without taking them personally or putting too much stock in what others think of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Blame is toxic because it renders the blamer helpless. When the problem is someone else’s fault, that person has the power to fix it. A person who claims responsibility also claims power.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your body talks to you in its own way. If you ignore its nudge, the push will be forthcoming. Whether it’s good nutrition, human touch or exercise you need most, focusing your care on the physical will lead to intellectual clarity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It seems everyone is rushing to get in line, but you’re no follower. It will benefit you to be more strategic. First, take the time to position yourself well. A firm footing and a posture of readiness will make all of the difference.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 19). You’re strong, capable and driven toward a particular desire. Something you’ve struggled with will finally be resolved or integrated to the point where it becomes a strength of yours and a point of connection. Through your work you will find interesting friends, play fun games and launch exciting adventures. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 5, 33, 41 and 18.
