Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Sept. 1, 2016

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The New Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t be pushy about issues at work today because you will meet with obstacles, especially difficulties with authority figures or the law. Perhaps you have to lose a battle in order to win the war? Or consider: If you change your goal, a retreat can become an advance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a tough day for romantic relationships. Likewise, it’s a tough day dealing with the children — their needs, their education, whatever. You might find that someone blocks your way with whatever you want to do. Difficulty in getting funding from someone else could be your challenge.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Whatever you try to do at home today might meet with a challenge from a parent or an older family member. Something will definitely block your way or delay you somehow. Maybe you need to rethink what it is you really want to do?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be careful and conservative in all your discussions with others, especially with siblings and relatives, because today people are too quick to contradict what you say and block your suggestions. Don’t take this personally. It just means that it’s not easy to get things done today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Increased financial expenses, especially related to children, social events, sports and vacations, could be a problem. It’s time to pull in your reins and stop spending money! This is a good day to take stock of your debt and your assets. Know what is happening because information is power.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It seems like whatever you try to do today, something stops you. Even if you try to break free of barriers or restrictions, it will be difficult. That’s why you feel a bit world-weary and apprehensive. But this is a fleeting thing! Don’t let it get you down.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel lonely or cut off from others today. The funny thing is that sometimes we build fences to protect ourselves, but in fact, the fences that we build actually become prisons. And guess who is in the prison? You got it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a poor day to ask someone older or more experienced for their advice because whatever they say will rain on your parade. People are not cooperative today. Quite the opposite. Someone will likely tell you why you cannot do something instead of why you can.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do not expect easy cooperation when dealing with parents, bosses and VIPs today. In fact, this is a poor day to ask for permission or approval for something you want to do. Postpone this kind of request until tomorrow, when your chances for success are much better.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Controversial subjects might get you in hot water today because when you open your mouth, someone will shout you down. Don’t ask for favors from professors, teachers and anyone in medicine or the law. Wait until tomorrow to do this. Timing is everything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It will be tough to achieve any kind of agreement about inheritances or shared property today, so why even try. Postpone important discussions about shared property until tomorrow. Today whatever you attempt to do will meet with refusal or discouragement. “Talk to the hand!”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In all your relationships, you have to know when to hold and when to fold. Today is the kind of day when you need to fold, regrettably. But not for long because tomorrow is much more promising. (Work with astrology to make your life easier!)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Open any door because your future is in your hands.
