Your daily horoscope: September 24

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

It’s okay to let off steam occasionally but be careful who you pick a fight with today because the planets warn they could be tougher than they look. This may be one of those occasions when it’s better, and safer, to turn the other cheek.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

By all means say your piece today but don’t overdo it. If others get the impression that you are being critical for no good reason they may turn round and start pointing out your own faults and failings, of which there are more than a few!

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Although a recent effort went off the rails a bit there is no point beating yourself up about it. At least you had the courage to make a call and follow it through to completion, which is more than most of your colleagues managed to do.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Major cosmic factors are working in your favor now, so stop worrying that the world may be coming to an end and start acting in constructive and creative ways. Your mind creates your reality, so think only good things about yourself and about other people.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The most important thing today is that you make a conscious effort to steer clear of extremes. Just because other people are saying and doing provocative things does not mean you should start talking and acting the same way. You’re better than that.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

If you have something important to say then say it now, because when communications planet Mercury leaves your sign on Thursday others will be less inclined to listen to you. Make it your business to clue them in to the realities of the current situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You have been on an impressive run of good form of late but don’t push yourself too hard. With Mercury about to join the Sun in your sign opportunities will come at just the right time, so why work up a sweat when you don’t have to?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

There is no limit to how far you will go to prove yourself and there is no doubt at all that you will succeed. Just make sure that when you begin a task you see it through to completion before turning your attention to the next big thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

It might be wise to cut back on your spending for a while, at least on the kind of luxury items you find so hard to resist. Plenty of good things in life can still be had for free, so why risk getting yourself in unnecessary debt?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

The more you let friends and colleagues know you are on their side the more they will respond in kind and let you know that your efforts are appreciated. Even when dealing with rivals at work there are many things you can help each other with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You made a commitment and you must deliver on it. It doesn’t matter that you can now see you promised too much, you have a duty to uphold your end of the bargain. Of course, if the other end fails that’s your excuse to bail out too.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Creative and artistic matters are under excellent stars and whatever you turn your hand to over the next few days should go well. Don’t listen to those who say you are aiming too high or taking on too much. They may be well meaning but they are wrong.

BIRTHDAY TUESDAY:

The message of the stars on your birthday is that you must focus more on your own needs and less on the needs of other people. That might sound selfish but you can do more for them in the long term if you look after yourself better now.
