Friday, September 4, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your mind will be racing with all sorts of ideas. Expect to hear some interesting news. Listen to the people you love and care about and you will be able to ward off a problem before it has a chance to swell. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider the changes you can make to improve your life. Put greater emphasis on getting back to your roots and rediscovering some of the people, places and pastimes you used to enjoy. Don’t let a disgruntled individual ruin your day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control. Don’t let situations get blown out of proportion. It’s important to stay focused on the facts if you want to avoid a scene. Opt for affection instead of criticism and suspicion. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take care of any problems that could affect your reputation. Expand your interests and friendships by taking more time to listen. Keeping your personal life a secret for now will benefit you later. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Show off a little and you will gain interest from someone who likes your style and shares your vision. Discussions will lead to opportunities to begin something new. A journey will lead to greater knowledge and wisdom. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share your feelings and take care of matters that have left you feeling uncertain about which way to go. You have more options than you realize, so don’t let anyone deter you from fol- lowing the path that brings you the most satisfaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pursue the changes that will make you feel good about yourself. Love and romance are favored and will help you improve your current personal situation. Following through on your plans will lead to happiness and victory. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Concentrate on doing something you en- joy. Set up a space at home to develop a hobby or idea you have. Don’t let an argument surface and disrupt your plans. Try not to indulge in anything that could lead to a costly mistake. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A realistic point of view and moder- ate, efficient plans will bring you the success you are looking for. Make plans to celebrate your accomplishments with someone who loves you dearly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Follow your heart, your instincts and your savvy business sense, and you will avoid interference from some- one who doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Don’t act impulsively or feel pressured to make a snap decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Host an event or invite people you share interests with to discuss future plans. An opportunity to use your skills to bring in extra cash will arise, and a service you offer could turn into a moneymaker. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Use your talents to get ahead, and you will attract attention from people with similar interests. Keep in touch with old friends or colleagues who might be able to help you out. A reunion is a good idea. Consider hosting the event.
