Horoscope: Monday, Sep 7

You will find your voice today and it will be loud. If you have not got anything of a social nature planned for the weekend you really should get on to it because your popularity will be sky-high. Everyone wants to be seen with you.

Far too many people seem to have a say in your future at the moment and that needs to change. Let everyone know that you alone will decide what you are going to do next and if they don’t like it they can join a different team.

You have taken on so many new things in recent weeks that there is no way you can do justice to them all. Which means you need to be ruthless with yourself. Identify the three projects that mean the most to you and give them 100 percent.

The Sun’s move into the career area of your chart today will make you more assertive and ambitious. You have more talent and potential in your little finger than most other people have in their whole bodies and it’s about time you did something with it.

Money matters and work issues will take center stage today and that means you need to be careful with cash and careful what you say to people in positions of power. Don’t rock the boat for the fun of it or it may be you who falls out!

The more others demand that you conform to their standards the more you must insist that you have every right to do things your way. If you allow them to tie you down to a particular program you won’t hit the heights of success that are possible.

Be careful that in your haste to put across your point of view you don’t say hurtful things. It may not matter now but it will matter later on when you need help from the people you have criticized so harshly. Do you think you will get it?

You may be tempted to hit back at someone who has been rather critical of you in recent days but is it really worth the effort? Just ignore them and cut them out of your life if you can. A new feud is the last thing you need.

Are you entertaining tonight, Leo? If so, you might be a little worried about what your guests think of your home and your skills as a host. Don't waste any time worrying. A good time will be had by all, including you. Everyone is likely to have a memorable evening. Just do your best, be your usual jovial self, and concentrate on having fun.

Put that book down and get out of the house, Virgo! You've been by yourself long enough; it's time to start interacting with other people. In addition to having heaps of fun, you're likely to have some encounters that will prove beneficial in the long run. Group situations are great, but don't overlook the pleasures of an intimate one-on-one encounter.

Nothing stays the same forever and according to the planets it will soon be time to move on to pastures new. Make a promise to yourself that you will not allow sentiment to hold you back. Change is good for you, so embrace it.

Yes, some people can be awfully slow, physically and mentally, but getting angry about it won’t solve a thing. Perhaps you should take it slow for the next few days as the planets warn the second half of the week is going to be manic.

There will be times today when you are tempted to believe that secret forces are conspiring against you. That is, of course, nonsense and deep down you know it but you must make a conscious effort to be positive in thought, word and deed.

The more others try to intimidate you the more you will refuse to change. Those who know you well understand that you never give in to threats – in fact they make you even more bloody-minded. Those who don’t know you well will learn soon enough!

Those around you may be wrapped in thoughts of doom and gloom but you have no intention of succumbing to negative thinking. The events of the world are of secondary importance – life is what you choose to make of it, today and every day.

Both Mars and the Sun move in your favor over the next few days and it won’t be long before you find that many of the things you have been worrying about fade away as if they had never existed. In future, try not to be so anxious.

Cosmic activity in the work and wellbeing area of your chart will make it easier for you to get a grip on what needs to be done – mainly by making you realize that very little of it actually needs to be done, at least not right now.

Everyone has a story to tell and if you make a point of listening to what friends and work colleagues tell you today there is every possibility that you will not only hear an entertaining tale but learn something to your personal advantage.

Messages from a distant state or foreign country, possibly through fax, email, or website, might not be totally accurate, Aquarius. If any information presented in this fashion sets off an alarm bell in your head, be sure to do some research on your own and check out the facts. Don't accept any news at face value today. The lines of human and technical communication are definitely out of whack today.

If you can get someone else to help you with your workload today then do so. If you cannot get someone to help you then focus on essentials only. If you try to do it all by yourself you could wear yourself out both physically and mentally.
