Horoscope: Tuesday, Sep 8

Misinformation is likely to spread like wildfire today, causing a lot of unnecessary upset either among your neighbors at home or your colleagues at work. Don't accept at face value any gossip or rumor you hear, Aries. Check the accuracy of the information yourself. If it does turn out to be false, as is likely, you'll feel sorry if you've had any part in perpetuating it.

You will be put to the test this week and that’s good because you have a lot to prove to those who doubt your abilities. Today’s Sun-Jupiter link will give you the confidence to tackle problems that once upon a time you would have tried to avoid.

You have more than enough work to keep you going for a while, so don’t agree to take on extra responsibilities today. Even a Taurus has limits and you need to be aware of what you are capable of, and what could damage your health.

Today could bring a lot of physical activity, possibly including workouts, sports, and dancing, as your energy, enthusiasm, and stamina are all high, Leo.

You could be exhausted but satisfied with everything you've done by the end of the day.

Sometimes you can take your tendency to make up your own rules a bit too far and what happens today will teach you that what you say and do can affect other people just as much as it affects you. It may be a painful lesson!

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.

Have you bitten off more than you can chew? Do your desires run ahead of your abilities? The answer to both those questions is a resounding “No!” You’re a Libra, a cardinal sign, and nothing is ever too much for you. Believe it, it’s true.

If you are thinking of changing your job, or even your career, you would be wise to leave it a few days before making a final decision. The grass may look greener on the other side of the fence but there are plenty of weeds over there as well.

Make an effort to reach out to those you love today, and those you would like to love but for one reason or another have not had the chance to get close to – until now. Venus in your opposite sign makes you all but irresistible.

It is not enough to assume that other people know what you are talking about – follow up on what you tell them and make sure they have got the message. If necessary spell things out for them in plain and simple language – the simpler the better!

Misinformation regarding money could come from someone who has a stake in your believing whatever you're told. This could be a banker, creditor, investment counselor, or even a close friend or relative. Whoever it is, Sagittarius, don't accept what this person says at face value. Look into the facts of the situation yourself before making any decisions about what you need to do.

This isn't the best day for get-togethers, Capricorn. What starts as a friendly lunch could wind up a gossip-fest. No one wins in that situation. You could fear leaving the table because of what they'd say about you. There's no upside to the situation, so your best strategy might be to stay home and work on chores. At least you'll have the satisfaction of feeling that you've accomplished something.

You tend to keep your feelings under wraps but today you need to be more outgoing. A hugely beneficial Mars-Jupiter link cuts across the most dynamic angles of your chart, so even the most aloof of Aquarians will find it easy to be sociable.

It may be true that not everything is going your way at the moment but it could be a lot worse, so cheer up and look forward to better days. It’s still a beautiful world out there and you can make it more beautiful still by being happy.

If you don’t know how to do something yourself then you must get expert advice. The planets warn if you try to muddle through you may make the situation far worse than it was to begin with, so spend a little money and get it sorted out today.

If you have fallen out with a loved one then today’s full moon will make it easy for the pair of you to sort out your problems. But you must be honest about your feelings, and you must try to understand their feelings too. Is that so hard?
