Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Sept. 8, 2016

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

People are serious today, especially about issues related to foreign countries, religion and politics. Meanwhile, you are dealing with delays and mixed-up communications at work. (The upside is you can use Mercury retrograde to finish projects at work.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are in a serious mood today, especially about shared property, shared responsibilities and inheritances. Whatever you try to do will be blocked. Since timing is everything, postpone important discussions about shared finances for another day. Just coast.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Relations with partners and close friends are difficult today because the Moon is lined up with Saturn. When that happens, life seems hard. Things look dour. So you have a choice: View your glass as half empty or half full. What’s it going to be?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your ruler the Moon is lined up with stern Saturn today, which is sobering. Duty and obligation come first. Fun and frivolity ain’t in the picture. In fact, some people feel depressed. (“I’m navel lint.”) Don’t be a wet blanket, especially at work. Keep things light.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Children might be an increased responsibility today. In fact, sports, social diversions, the arts and romantic relationships all are tough. Things that should be fun are work! Don’t get your belly in a rash. It’s one of those days. Keep looking for ways to boost your income.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Sun, lucky Jupiter and retrograde Mercury are all in your sign. However, because the Moon is lined up with stern Saturn, you have to deal with obligations at home either related to family or something to do with home repairs. Just get the job done.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid worry mode today. Remember that saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Make an effort to consciously smile before you speak to anyone or before you answer the phone. This will counter the serious vibes.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You probably feel broke today. Suddenly your finances, cash flow and earnings look bleak. But this is a temporary influence! Very soon, things will look different. This is a tough day for business and commerce. Keep the faith and keep on trucking.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with Saturn, which makes you feel lonely or cut off from others. You might feel guilty about a past event. The thing to know is that life looks much worse than it really is, so don’t succumb to these feelings. Stay upbeat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Many people feel isolated or cut off from others today. They feel lonely and depressed. Perhaps you can relate. It’s important to know that this is a fleeting thing. This is based upon the Moon and the Moon moves very quickly because it moves through all 12 signs every 28 days.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Someone older, and probably female, might rain on your parade today. Don’t take this seriously. And don’t take it personally because a lot of people feel this way today. Some days are just easier than others and that’s all this is. Use today’s energy to work hard.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is not the day to ask for permission or approval from a parent or boss because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand.” Postpone these discussions for another day. Fortunately, relations with partners and close friends are warm and supportive.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer-songwriter Pink (1979) shares your birthday today. You are calm and composed and have an outer confidence that hides an inner sensitivity. You use humor to inspire and guide others. Great news! You are now heading into one of the most powerful years of your life — a time of accumulation. Whatever you have done in the past will now ripen because it’s your time of fruition. Good year to buy and sell.
