Horoscopes: Tuesday, September 20, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Usually when you "score," it's because you set out to do so - goal in mind. Today you will accidentally get your proverbial ball in the right place to make the all the points you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Does this routine still serve you, or is it merely automatic? One new idea presented by someone who inspires you (or inspires you to go in the opposite direction) is all it will take to make you question this lifestyle choice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your high level of awareness would alert you to danger, except there is none. Therefore, your keen senses will scan each new environment for opportunity, fun, novelty, and pleasure.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are loved. Believe it, and act accordingly. Try not to require assurance on the fact; it only tires the others out. Instead, do the things and think the thoughts that make you feel secure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What does it take to be a person of the world? A courageous spirit is a good start. Next comes the open-mindedness that allows you to accept people who are very different - a no-brainer for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your relationships are your business. You'll benefit from keeping things on a need-to-know basis. If it doesn't affect another person directly, you have no obligation to infringe on your own privacy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Creatures of the forest are wild - but in their own social world with structures and rules. You can relate. Today, make your own rules and alert your crew.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As for the recurring issue - you could bring the matter to a conclusion if you wanted to, and there's a reason you don't. Stay objective. Gather more insight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have stories to tell and retell. Test out your ideas. Bounce them off smart people, silly people, and people who have no idea what you're talking about. The latter group will help you the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The thing that helps you grow and develop your interests might seem frivolous at this point, but it's not. Let your curiosity lead. Don't believe anyone who makes you feel that having curiosity is a bad thing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are particularly lucky now, especially in matters of entertainment. You'll feed the hungry and charm the bored. Tonight: Creativity will trump dollars.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The friendship you seek correlates with the friendship you bring. Go into the social scene ready to be a good listener, and give others a quality of attention that will make them feel important.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 20). This is a high-energy year: Your energy is so high that you feel you can conquer anything and everything. Maybe you can. Just keep in mind that some things needn't be conquered so much as cajoled, coddled, or seduced. Financially, your best months will be October, January, and March. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 8, 7, 19, and 40.
