Horoscope for Sept. 1

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *** Rethink a personal matter. A conversation yields a positive benefit, especially when had with lightness and caring.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **** You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully. Understanding evolves if you are open to a co-worker's or friend's suggestion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ***** You could be slow to move into action, but once you do, your creativity flourishes. Listening to someone might be difficult, as your mind has many flights of fancy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** Conversations move with ease in the morning, yet by the afternoon, different concerns arise. Getting feedback dulls in the evening, when you want to reflect on the issue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *** Communicate your intentions in the afternoon, when others seem to be more adaptable and easygoing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **** Investigate an offer in the morning. You also will have the most influence over others and situations during this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *** You have been in a period of deep thought when you wonder about the possibilities. Express your thoughts in the afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) **** Focus on important goals or situations that you feel must go your way. A meeting could play into the situation as well. You know your limits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) **** Take charge, and others will follow you. Do nothing, and you might not like what happens. You are better off anyway when you are proactive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) **** Make it a point to get more facts. More information can only help. If you want something done your way, you will have to do it yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **** Deal with a partner directly. Quite clearly, you don't need to push this associate or partner, as he or she works well with you.
