Horoscope: Monday, Sep 14

You want and you need to be the center of attention and you will get your wish today both at home and at work. Do whatever it takes to grab other people’s attention, even if it means acting outrageously. You can’t help it, it’s who you are.

When was the last time you used a pen and paper, Taurus? The keyboard has all but replaced these wonderful tools. In the same way that walking provides more than fresh air, the kinesthetic value of writing's rhythmic motion is far more soothing and healing than people realize. Moving your hand across the page can feel good. It unlocks places within that typing can't access. Try it.

If you sense that someone is not being entirely honest with you then you must pursue the matter and find out what is really going on. If you ignore the issue and hope it goes away you could leave yourself open to further betrayal.

You must have the courage to follow your dreams. The current cosmic set-up promises that the bigger the prize you reach for the more of an impact you will make. Yes Gemini, you can change the world, and have fun while doing it.

The thing that has been bothering you the most of late is the thing you have least to worry about and Monday’s eclipse will in some way or other change your luck for the better. Money issues especially will resolve themselves to your benefit.

Take yourself on a mental adventure today in which you explore new aspects of your world. Discuss philosophy and religion. Get to the core of a matter that seriously interests you. Now is a good time to consider taking classes or engaging in some form of higher learning. Your emotions come from a point of great power and you should use this energy wisely.

A friendship that has been through a tough time of late will start to come good again over the next few days. But if you want it to stay good you must rein in your ego a bit and not try to micro manage every little thing they do.

Nice surprises of one sort or another will come thick and fast over the next few days. It’s not often that a lucky streak of this kind comes along, so make the most of it and don’t start thinking there is some kind of catch – there isn’t.

Daydreams full of adventure, perhaps involving travel, could take up a lot of your time today, Libra. You're probably bored with your situation and longing to do something to break your routine. You might have no idea how you can escape from everything right now. Don't force it. Spend the afternoon in a place you don't usually visit. You'll come up with a workable idea in due time. Go for it!

There will be a few surprises for you over the next 48 hours and most of them will be good. News concerning your career will make it clear that you are valued by the people you work for and with, even though they don’t always show it.

What you start this week could either make you a lot of money or lose you a lot of money, depending on how well you have planned things. For best results, join forces with people who share your ambitions. You’ll have to share the profits too, of course.

There's extra aggression in your world today, Sagittarius. Realize that this is probably due more to your reaction to a situation than to the situation itself. It could be that you're in conflict with someone just because he or she wants harmony while you have a propensity to fight. This paradox is likely to be detrimental to your psyche unless you make an effort to change it.

You seem to be out of favor with someone on the work front at the moment but don’t let it worry you. According to the planets the problem is not with you but with them. Give them time and they will remember what an asset you are.

You may be practical by nature but some things in life require a more idealistic approach. Put family relationships and affairs of the heart at the top of your list of priorities and don’t worry that you may no longer be thinking straight. It won’t hurt.

The only danger today is that someone may persuade you to work so hard for them that you have no time and no energy left to work for yourself. Don’t let that happen. Your needs must always come first. It’s not selfish, it’s just common sense.

Mars in your sign gives you the courage to take risks but don’t go mad and do something rash. Also, don’t get carried away with your own brilliance and refuse to listen to your inner vice, the part of you that knows all the answers.

Be wary of people who look and sound as if they know what they are talking about but refuse to offer firm guarantees that your money will be safe. Today’s Jupiter-Pluto link warns you could lose big if you take too much on trust.

Because you are dwelling on negatives rather than positives there is a danger that you could let your emotions get out of hand. Focus on what makes you feel good about yourself and take life’s setbacks in your stride. Most of them are minor in the extreme.
