Horoscopes: Monday, September 14, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a fear to overcome, and overcome it you will -- first in tiny steps, and then in one big leap. You’ll work your way to a course of action of which you can later be proud.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re looking forward to an event and, at the same time, dreading it. If it weren’t so, it wouldn’t be worth committing to. You’re better for having such milestone markers in your life. Embrace the awful excitement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Emotional growth doesn’t always go with physical growth. While you can see when a person is physically grown, you have to test for emotional growth, which you do in small ways when you’re getting to know a person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tantrums are the communication style of a person who feels powerless. No one who feels powerful has the need for big displays of rage. Your compassion and patience will be called on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfortunately, the busywork does matter; it matters quite a lot. Smooth dealings will be the result of details that are well aligned with the procedures and expectations of all involved parties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is not wrong to seek status, but it is also excellent to recognize the unsustainability of the goal. High-status stations run on cycles and obey laws of relativity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You care about someone and every time you do that, the one you care about gains a little bit of power over you. A key bit of your life is in this person’s hands. It’s scary but part of being fully alive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone is dealing with the same threats, doubts and anxieties. It doesn’t make your own worries any less significant, but it does make you feel a sense of belonging and an impetus to help the others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The world of fiction provides what reality cannot. Escapism isn’t necessarily a vice. It helps you get perspective, as well as lifting some of your perceived limits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ego loss hurts, but it is worth it today as a reduced ego allows for entering into the spirit of another and returning to your own lens with a different and deeper understanding of the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you were small, you got angry and exploded. Also, when you were bigger. But robust self-assertion is now an option to you, not a knee-jerk reaction and that right there is a mark of emotional growth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Take no shortcuts. There will be something deeply satisfying, not to mention necessary, about going through all of the motions. Amidst the details, you will find answers.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 14). You’re not stuck in one way of claiming the life you want. You go boldly into this new era, making fresh connections, adjusting your views and retrofitting the old plans to create a new future. With loved ones, you refuse to coast on your past successes and will have fun working on your relationships. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 3, 33, 18 and 44.
