Horoscope: Wednesday, Sep 9

Try not to dwell on minor problems to such an extent that you build them up in your mind to major levels. In the greater scheme of things everything is progressing exactly as it should, so stop worrying and start smiling. Find reasons to be happy.

If you are not happy with your current situation then do something about it. Don’t go along with other people’s plans just to stay in their good books – it will simply lead to a bigger crisis and falling out later on. Make changes and make them now.

Before you make your next move you must ask the people you are closest to emotionally what they think about what you are planning to do. If they are in any way negative about it you must ask them why. Their input could be priceless.

Your confidence is sky high at the moment and will remain way up there in the stratosphere for several days to come. Don’t waste your time on petty tasks. Delegate as much as you can and save your energy for the things that really matter.

You would make an excellent judge, Gemini. You're able to consider all aspects of a situation. This is a bit of a blessing and a curse, because it can make it difficult to come to a decision. Today you could face the challenge of reconsidering past decisions. Once-binding contracts need to be reviewed and new ones created. Prior commitments need reevaluation. This is tiring but necessary if you're to move forward.

You may need to be ruthless with certain individuals. The only way you are going to reach the lofty goals you have set yourself is to focus on them to the exclusion of everything else, and that means saying “No” to people, and saying it often.

Approach what you have to do today with energy and enthusiasm, even if the benefits of what you accomplish go mainly to other people. You will do your reputation so much good that it won’t be long before you are the one calling the shots.

Don’t make too many plans for today or tomorrow. According to the planets what you think you should be doing and what you should actually be doing are quite likely two very different things, so hold back and see how the situation develops.

Careful planning on your part is starting to pay off, Virgo, but be careful that you don't alienate others in your quest to be the best. You may not realize how your harsh words affect the people around you. Be more sensitive to the feelings of others. Focus and be brave in your actions. Hesitation may cause you to lose control of the situation. Know your boundaries, but push beyond them.

Something you have tried to keep a secret will become public knowledge this weekend and there’s not much you can do about it. If the information is embarrassing then the best way to deal with it is to own it. Be proud of what you’ve done.

Many people try to avoid thinking about the big issues of the day, but you think of nothing else. The only danger today is that you may think too hard and end up with a massive headache. Rather that though than you don’t think at all.

Is a creative project of some sort worth carrying on with? You won’t know for sure until the end of the month, so give yourself some breathing space and don’t fret about what you must do. The universe will find a way to guide you.

It’s quite likely that you will encounter fierce opposition to what you intend to do today but don’t let that stop you. Keep your eye on the prize and keep moving relentlessly forward. Don’t stop for anyone, not even those you love.

Something you said weeks, months, maybe even years ago will return to either help you or haunt you today. It will certainly remind you that causes have consequences, be they good or be they bad. What goes around always comes around in the end.

What you learn about yourself over the next few days will help you make a success of your endeavors a few weeks from now when the Sun moves in your favor again. Also, try not to dwell on your mistakes – they are not as significant as you fear.

You should be aiming to do something exciting this weekend but it’s quite likely that Neptune is putting doubts in your mind and making you think it’s too risky. The only real risk though is not taking that risk. Go on, throw caution to the wind.

It's possible that the last few weeks have allowed you to become a little bit clearer concerning certain questions you have about your vocation, Aquarius. You may even have a little more clarity about your feelings regarding what you think your destiny is. It would now be better for you to stop thinking about such things and let life take over. You're well armed for this!

You may look at life in terms of black and white, good and evil, right and wrong, but deep down you now it isn’t like that at all. It’s time to admit, if only to yourself, that the world is a far more complicated, and more interesting, place.
