Your lookahead horoscope for the week of September 8, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A sun-Saturn link on your birthday means you will have to work harder than expected over the coming year. On the plus side that means your successes, of which there will be plenty, will taste even sweeter, because you know you have done it all by yourself.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

The fact that you cannot explain why certain events have occurred does not mean you should ignore them. As Mercury moves back into the work area of your chart this week you need to talk less and listen more. What is the universe trying to tell you?

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

As one of the zodiac’s Fixed signs you have strong opinions about just about everything, but no matter how strong they may be they can never replace the facts. Avoid wishful thinking and don’t reject ideas just because they do not fit into your worldview.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You could find yourself under some serious pressure this week from people whose authority is greater than your own. Be smart and take a step back rather than a step forward, because if there is a confrontation you will almost certainly be the loser.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You should be making plans now to explore further afield than usual. New places and new faces will be a lot of fun and, for once, money should not be a problem. Don’t worry if it costs you a dollar or three along the way.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You need to start looking at ways to give your cash fund a boost. As mind planet Mercury moves into the financial area of your chart this week you won’t lack for ideas to build up your reserves. Don’t let them run down so much in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Your commitment to a partnership or relationship has been tested of late but you came through the challenge okay and now you are closer than ever. Whatever it is you are minded to do over the coming week, make sure you do it together.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts

You appear calm on the surface but deep down you are raging about some sort of injustice. Hopefully you will be sensible enough to realize that allowing yourself to get angry is not the answer. How can you improve the situation in practical ways?

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

The good times just keep getting better and with Mercury moving into the friendship area of your chart this week you won’t be the only one with a smile on your face. Get together with people who share your sunny outlook on life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Someone who is a bit emotionally volatile could rub you up the wrong way over the next few days but try not to let your annoyance show. If they think that they are getting under your skin they will act in even more outrageous ways.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You have no alternative but to confront a friend or loved one with evidence that they have been up to no good. Their specific misdeed is probably not too dramatic but don’t let them get away with it or they may take even bigger liberties in future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

If you have been living beyond your means then what happens over the next few days will bring that fact home to you in ways that cannot be ignored. Take the hint and get your finances back on an even keel. It shouldn’t be too difficult.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You are feeling good about yourself again and because you are in such a positive frame of mind those around you will feed off your upbeat outlook and feel good about themselves as well. Make it your mission to spread a little happiness.
