Horoscope: Wednesday, Sep 17

Have you made plans to have a romantic interest come to your home, Aries? If so, don't rush to get ready. Your friend is probably going to be late. Events beyond anyone's control have interfered, and you might have to wait. Don't make yourself crazy over it. Don't imagine all kinds of horrible scenarios. Your friend will show up even if later than planned. Have fun!

You may prefer to keep a low profile but the planets indicate you will accomplish more over the coming week if you go all out to show the world what you are capable of. Also, if you get the chance to travel, don’t turn it down.

You seem to have a much more positive outlook on life now and that’s good. You also realize that a relationship dispute of some sort is just one of those things, so put it out of your mind once and for all and get back together again.

Extra money may come your way today as a reward for work well done. Perhaps you're getting a substantial bonus, or maybe you're slated for a significant raise. Either way, Gemini, you're going to be in pretty good financial shape. You're going to be feeling very optimistic about your future, and therefore your relations with others will be warm and congenial. Spend the evening celebrating!

Cancer, instead of digging deep into the barrel looking only for the misshapen, bruised, and rotten apples, concentrate on bringing up the shiny, bright red ones. This way you'll bring laughter and smiles to the company around you rather than miserable frowns. Whatever you bring to the surface will be distributed far and wide, so make sure you reach for the good times instead of the sour ones.

Insights shared by a family member could lead to possible ways to increase your income. Expect to handle a lot of paperwork regarding money, Leo, but this is a positive development and definitely should leave you feeling good about your situation. This is a great day to do in-depth research. Your intuition is high and you're apt to see right through superficial appearances to the heart of any matter that interests you.

You have so much energy at your disposal at the moment, but are you using it in the right way? Whatever else you do don’t waste it on people who are never going to live up to your amazingly high standards. Be selective in your choice of allies.

By all means be optimistic and enthusiastic about the future but don’t rush at your goals without some kind of plan. You have plenty of time to get prepared, so make sure you know what you are doing. And remember, small details are often important.

Having gone out of your way to please others in recent weeks you are now perfectly entitled to do what pleases you. Others may say you are being selfish but only because they have got used to you doing things for them. It’s not all about them.

If you are the sort of Libra who learns from other people’s mistakes you will hold back from taking action today. If, however, you are the sort who rushes in where angels fear to tread you will fall smack on your face. It’s your choice.

You should know by now that you won’t change other people’s attitudes or beliefs by coming on too strong – it just makes them dig in their heels even more. Today’s full moon urges you to be patient, not just with others but with yourself as well.

If certain people push you to act more quickly than you think is safe you should try to work out what their motives might be. Chances are they are hoping to benefit from your actions while you take the risks. You don’t have to play that game.

Do you tell someone what they want to hear or what they need to hear? Being an honest sort of person you most often take the latter route but today, if no other day, that may not be such a good idea. Keep it sweet for them.

The lesson of the stars today is that you should treat life as a game and accept that some games you win and some games you lose. If you can do that then both triumph and disaster are much less likely to distort your view of reality.

You have no reason to feel guilty about something that was in no way your fault. The more others try to pin the blame on you the more you must defend your honor. Nothing is more important than your reputation – don’t lose it.

You have begun many new things in recent weeks while the Sun has been in your sign but now you must decide which of them are worth carrying on with. Be ruthless in your judgment – sentiment can be allowed no part in the decision-making process.

The world around you may be somewhat chaotic at the moment but it will all come right in the end, so don’t get too personally involved and certainly don’t choose to fight on one side against the other. The only side that matters is your own!

Don’t limit yourself to one location or one group of people today – get out and about and experience as much of life as you possibly can. The more you are on the move the more likely it is you will discover something that makes your world fun again.

If you fall out with someone at home or at work you must – repeat, must – make up with them quickly, if possible by the end of the day. The Sun’s move into the relationship area of your chart tomorrow means you cannot afford to let feuds fester.
