Horoscope: Friday, Sep 19

You need to trust your own judgment more. You can always find someone to tell you what you want to hear but if you listen to your inner voice today it will tell you what you need to hear – and that is of far more importance.

If you believe that a task you have to undertake is going to be boring then, yes, it will be boring. If, however, you tell yourself it is going to be a lot of fun you just might be surprised by how much you enjoy it. Attitude is everything.

Today you should work to tune into the larger, slower-moving trends in your life, Taurus. Consider making some long-term monetary and emotional investments. There is a great deal of prosperity available to you now, but beware of deception on the part of others. Watch out for fast talkers and people who promise everything yet deliver nothing. Have confidence that you can decipher what's real and what isn't.

With Mercury, your ruler, opposing power planet Pluto today it’s likely that an authority figure will tell you that something cannot be done. They’re wrong, it can be done and it must be done and their negativity won’t stop you from doing it.

You don’t need to change direction, either in your personal life or at work – you need to stick doggedly to the path you are already on. Whatever happens over the next few days keep telling yourself that you are doing the right thing, and doing it well.

What you see and hear today will inspire you to do some truly remarkable things. Don’t listen to those who urge caution, they don’t possess your levels of energy and enthusiasm, still less your self-belief. You know in your bones it can be done.

Other people may doubt your abilities but you know you have what it takes and nothing can stop you succeeding. It’s not often you show this level of rampant self-belief, so make good use of it and start moving up in the world.

Before you start something new, be it a project, a hobby or even a relationship, ask yourself how much it might cost in the long-term. And don’t just think in financial terms. If loved ones don’t agree with your aims there could be an emotional cost too.

If your current environment does not stimulate you as much as you would like it to then do something about it. As Mars, planet of energy, moves into the most dynamic area of your chart today you will find it easy to make meaningful changes.

You need to pay much more attention to your resources. For too long you have drifted along not worrying too much about where the money comes from, and even less about where it goes to, but that will soon need to change. Earn more and spend less!

This is a tremendously expansive time for you, Libra, and there is very little that will stop your momentum once you get going. Your eyes are alive with a spark that says that you're ready to take on the world. Believe this about yourself and others will believe in you. There is a great deal of luck on your side today, so take a gamble in a certain part of your life.

No matter how much you want to withdraw from the world and enjoy your own company someone will demand that you see to their needs first and you won’t get any peace until you do. Make a good job of it, then they’ll leave you alone.

You have a tendency at the moment to see problems where none exist and you need to get over it. Mars in the most sensitive area of your chart as from tomorrow will make the situation worse if you let it – so don’t let it. Always be positive.

If what the so-called “experts” say does not seem to add up then simply ignore their advice and follow what your instincts are telling you. Some people over-analyze way too much but thankfully that’s not usually much of a problem for you!

Try not to get worked up about situations that mean nothing in the greater scheme of things. Everything will even itself out in the end – you should know by now it always does – so stay true to your principles and don’t waste time fussing and fighting.

The amazing thing about your nature is that, like a good politician, you have just the right tone of voice and catch phrase for every situation. You can put on your smile and charm and talk your way out of just about any pickle you get into. Embrace this incredible gift, but make sure that your overall goals are noble as opposed to self-serving or vengeful.

A lot of physical and mental energy could be channeled today into artistic projects of some kind, Pisces. Your intuition is running rather high, so you might know instinctively what friends, lovers, and children are feeling before they tell you. You could also pick up a lot of their anxieties as well. You'll need to relax a little. Go for a workout and then attend a concert or sporting event. You deserve a little fun!
