Horoscopes: Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll speak carefully, not because you want to please anyone but because you know words have the power to shape you inside and out. You’ll think what you say, say what you think and wield your influence well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You notice what people are good at and you encourage them to do more of it, not in a pushy way but in a way that makes them feel seen and appreciated. It’s no wonder people want to be around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll become a fan and get invested in understanding in depth what someone brings to the world. You’ll loyally go along for the journey, through wins and losses, vicariously experiencing the highs and lows.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not like you think your life should be problem-free — no good life could be! You just don’t want to waste your time on problems you’ve already seen. You’ll move along to challenge yourself with fresh complexity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). “Stay ready and you won’t have to get ready,” they say. But what exactly are you ready for? The answer has changed for you. Get clear about your current position and ambition. What is the opportunity you’re looking for?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know your motive. You’re not trying to hide it necessarily, rather you delay coming out with it until you know what the other person wants and has to offer. By seeking the right fit, you save everyone some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For competitive children, the fight over who gets the back seat or the pink cup or the tallest ice cream cone can seem like all that matters in the world. Some never grow out of the mentality, as you’ll witness today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re good with strong personalities, some of which won’t back down even when clearly in the wrong. This doesn’t mean they are not affected by the interaction. You’re patient, kind and gracious. Change takes time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today, you have to go narrow to go deep. It’s not hard to figure out which options aren’t worth focusing on, and cutting out all that’s superfluous and distracting won’t be hard at all. In fact, it will be a relief.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re in a vigilant mode. Make a rule and you’ll follow it without fail. To take the best advantage of your current strengths, make one rule that, when followed, will affect dozens of other factors.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You seem to be experiencing a scene differently from the others. No one’s way is more correct, only more or less fitting for what they are trying to get out of the situation. You’re looking for fun, and you’ll certainly find it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re well aware that each person operates inside their own mostly invisible territorial lines. You’re sensitive to subtle reactions, and if you go carefully enough, you won’t have to cross a line to understand where it is.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25). You’ll make good on financial opportunity and subsequently have fun in sensible and silly ways. Your collaborations will contribute to the common good. Your team’s success will thrill you on three occasions. One partnership will be particularly fulfilling as it brings out surprising sides of you. Aquarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 44, 37 and 19.
