Horoscopes: Monday, September 26, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's something you want to tell a crowd today. If you can build rapport with one person you can build rapport with many at one time. Use social media, a soapbox or a mountaintop.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't mind standing out in some way: In fact, you benefit from it, even if it's a bit controversial. Better to raise a few eyebrows than to be invisible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because they love you doesn't mean they understand you. You long for an intellectual connection, but affection comes for different reasons and from other directions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Does it frustrate you to know there is nothing you can do about the outcome? Hopefully, you can find a way to let this liberate you instead. Trust in the work you've already done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is this anticipation or apprehension you're feeling? Maybe both, but figure out the dominant emotion. If you're apprehensive, it means there's still a little more preparation to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No relationship is all sunshine and rainbows. Hopefully, there is quite a lot of sunshine and the occasional rainbow - but of course, such a phenomenon usually occurs after a rainstorm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You won't find friends today; they'll find you. The people who have a similar vibe can feel you. They can see your inner light, and they'll want to claim you for their own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People need constant encouragement. You can't just give out pats on the back at the end. Whatever your usual reward system is, today you'll need to triple it to see results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Before you make a big effort to demonstrate your love, take measures to get reasonably sure that the gesture is one that the other person is likely to see as love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Privacy is a requirement of every relationship. Close relationships need even more of it. Instead of feeling guilty about this, revel in your right to experiences that are yours and yours alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're an antennae for important information and especially helpful to those around you who have trouble discerning that from the dreck. You'll help all stay on track with priorities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). News feed clutter abounds. You have to wonder about the people who feel compelled to tell the whole world what a fantastic time they are having with the loved ones who are, presumably, within talking distance.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). Your cosmic birthday gift is a superpower: You can often think about what you truly want to think about and with great intensity of purpose. Everything you want can be obtained through focused action, which starts with a thought. You'll be elected next year. A purchase will change your scene in February. Aquarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 17, 22 and 18.
