Gemini (May 21-June 20): Smiles and warmth can help social events flow more smoothly. You may come off charming without even needing to put forth much effort.

You may have the strength and ability required to face whatever comes if you are willing to be patient and take your time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You shouldn’t need to make grand promises or go to extreme lengths to please someone special. Just be yourself; true partners and friends accept you for who you are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): New opportunities coming your way may be a good fit and could result in your most outrageous wishes coming true.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look beyond the world you know to find the balance you seek. Whatever traditions you follow could guide you on your path and illuminate your inner world. Don’t let daily duties interfere with your quest for the extraordinary. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes, simplicity is the key to getting along with others. Following your deepest impulses might bring you admiration or even a warm embrace, but making significant changes could set off a series of unpredictable events.

If September 8 is your Birthday: During the coming three to four weeks remember it may be helpful to revisit and learn more from past mistakes. This might be a time to exercise self-discipline or handle extra obligations with good grace and efficiency. Consider avoiding taking on long-term debt or starting anything new unless it is inevitable. Your focus may shift to building your social network and participating in community events as October arrives and could give your social life a boost. Late October may be a nice time to put sensible business strategies into action or to make an intelligent reassessment of your finances while you might feel more astute about the ways of the world. You may receive help, assistance, and opportunities in late November and early December, when it could feel easier to be carefree, extravagant, and frivolous without guilt.
