Horoscope: Sept. 18

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 23

Mercury will soon enter under Libra. Whisper softly and the wind will reply. Your words are never wasted in the breeze. 

Scorpio: Oct. 24 to Nov. 21

Venus has recently entered under Scorpio. Remind yourself of the gentle embrace of affection — love doesn’t need to be screamed about in order for it to be true. 

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Don’t let there be “supposed to’s,” only “want to’s.” Wrap the threads of your life ‘round and ‘round your fingers. It’s up to you which strings to pull.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Wake slowly, easing the tendrils of sleep from your hazy mind. You’ll find your clarity well-sharpened, your heart more at ease. 

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Press your nose against the glass and fog up your reflection. Free yourself from the incessant judgment of your own eyes.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to March 20

Follow the relentless tapping of your feet — don’t while away the hours counting the drips of the faucet against the tile. 

Aries: March 21 to April 19

Make haste lest the birds circle low, catching your prize in their talons. Wasted opportunities breed wearying bitterness.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20

You were born in the light — don’t sequester yourself in the shadows. If you do, your smile will begin to dull, your heart will grow less spirited.

Gemini: May 21 to June 21

Mismatch gingham with stripes, polka dots with houndstooth. Life wasn’t meant to be a monotonous churn of monochromatic waves.

Cancer: June 22 to July 22

Nobody has the opportunity to be everybody, so don’t run yourself ragged trying to. Take one step at a time and catch your breath. Come back to yourself.

Leo: July 23 to Aug. 22

Run your hand along a wall of book spines, selecting one at chance. An adventure read, and therefore experienced, is never wasted. 

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Don’t let the dewdrops on the slowly-withering leaves distract you — you have greater things to keep your sights on.
