Horoscope: Thursday, Sep 10

If you come across as too assertive or aggressive today you won’t get the deal you are hoping for. A lot will depend on your ability to meet others halfway, especially in areas where there is serious money at stake. Charm people, don’t provoke them.

You can be a bit of a control freak at times and that could cause problems over the next few days if you insist that everything is done to your specifications. On the work front especially you will accomplish more if you let fate guide your footsteps.

You seem to be Mr or Ms Popular at the moment and that’s very nice, but don’t get carried away and start thinking you can do as you please. You still have responsibilities to take care of, and you won’t be popular for long if you neglect them.

There will be times over the next few days when you feel out of your depth, but that’s okay. Others may know more than you but that does not mean you are inferior in any way. Learn from them and add it to your own experience.

This isn't a good day to invest in anything. Don't spend much time working on speculative projects, Gemini, and don't put your money into anything but gold, land, or blue-chip stocks and bonds. You probably wouldn't lose everything, but it would be a long time before you saw a profit. Concentrate on what you know is secure now. There will be better days to wheel and deal.

A situation that you find funny may be no laughing matter to friends and work colleagues, so be careful what you say and do. It might be a good idea to at least pretend you share their serious outlook, even if you want to laugh out loud.

You're likely to go to extremes today on many levels, Cancer. The problem is that you may encounter opposition everywhere you turn. There's an incredible stubbornness to the day that is evident in everyone's mood, especially yours. Keep in mind that if you want cooperation and resolution, you will need to compromise. Try to see other people's needs as well.

Today is going to be a great day for you, Leo. You aren't one to embrace rules, constraints, or restrictions of any kind, preferring instead to reside in a fantasy world where no limitations apply. Have you considered that it's possible for you to join the rest of us here on Earth and still retain your liberty and ideals?

A number of children could cross your path today, perhaps at a social event. You might get caught up in their games and momentarily experience being a child again yourself. This could increase your appeal for love partners, Virgo, so don't be surprised if you're the recipient of admiring glances from the people around you. At some point, you might be the center of attention, perhaps telling stories. Enjoy!

You have so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to, so why do you look so worried? Whatever the reason you have to get over it because with your ruler Venus so strong at the moment it would be criminal to waste opportunities.

An older visitor might come to your door today, Libra. You aren't likely to be too thrilled about this, but you will be able to play the good host anyway. Romance and sociability may be a bit limited by obligations to family, particularly parents, but don't let it get you down. You may be stuck at home tonight, but you will be able to let loose later.

Something that has been worrying you for as long as you can remember will fade from memory in a matter of days, maybe even hours. Your fears were completely unfounded and now that you can see that so much more becomes possible.

Communication with those closest to you might prove difficult today, Sagittarius. You might end up playing endless phone tag. This can be a bit distressing, because you're feeling especially warm and loving toward them right now. You might even worry that perhaps they're angry and don't want to talk to you. This isn't the case. Keep trying. You'll eventually reach them and receive the response you want.

Do not, repeat not, reveal any personal secrets today. You may be tempted to come clean about certain matters but the planets warn that may not be such a good idea. Others don’t need to know what you’ve been up to, so don’t tell them.

Capricorn is a cardinal sign, meaning you have the drive and the ambition to make things happen, but you can at times be a bit timid in your thinking. The most important thing now is that you believe in yourself and follow your star.

Make it your business today to let partners and relatives know how much you appreciate their efforts on your behalf. Don’t just say the words – back them up with deeds. And remember: whatever the question, love is always the answer.

Someone you have dealings with on a daily basis seems to believe they have the right to order you about and the sooner you put them right the better it will be both for them and for you. You give orders, you don’t take them.

Have sympathy for those who need to vent today, Pisces. Don't be surprised if people line up outside your door for a chance to bend your ear for an hour or two. Your mind is sharp. You will be able to see to the core of any issue brought before you. More than likely, you will understand things intuitively. People will do well to take your advice on any issue they have.
