Horoscope for Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 7 to 10 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You're keen to roll up your sleeves and work hard today; nevertheless, something might take the wind out of your sails. Information in the media or contact with someone from another culture might confuse you or make you question what you're doing. Get as much done as possible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be careful about financial decisions today because you might not have all the facts or someone might deceive you knowingly or unwittingly. However, your creative energy is strong. Trust your creative efforts and enjoy playful activities with kids.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Even though you want to tackle home repairs and engage in family discussions today, you might find yourself dealing with misunderstandings and confusion with spouses and friends. This could throw a wrench in things for you. It's a distraction from your efforts to be productive. Aaggh.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You have a lot of mental energy today, which is why you're full of bright ideas. Nevertheless, think twice before you act on these ideas because something related to your health or your job is unclear. And if you think there is no confusion, perhaps you can't see it? Tread carefully.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have moneymaking ideas today, which makes you feel pumped. Or you might want to buy something? Be careful if these purchases are related to romance because romantic encounters, as well as dealings with kids are not clear. Be leery of financial investments and speculation, as well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

When talking to others today, you'll be direct, forthright and ready to take charge. This is a busy day for you. Therefore, be aware that issues related to real estate, family and home or a family member are unclear. Make no assumptions. Keep your eyes open.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your powers of research are critical today, which means you might dig for answers and come up with excellent solutions. However, you are handicapped by a mental distraction. It might even be daydreaming. Something hazy is getting in the way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You'll be enthused talking to friends and groups today. In fact, you might take on a leadership role because people are willing to listen to you. (You're convincing and enthusiastic!) However, do be aware that financial matters are subject to confusion and even deceit. Beware.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures will go well because you look good to others. You're ready to display some initiative and get the ball rolling. So far, so good. The problem is the moon in your sign is at odds with fuzzy Neptune, which means all is not as it appears. Tread carefully.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You're keen to learn something today because you feel mentally alert and alive. However, if someone disagrees with your ideas, especially if they are political or religious, you might end up in a dispute. Unfortunately, it will be tough to win because feelings of self-doubt might nag you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A friend might confuse you or even deceive you today. (Do be aware this deception might be unintentional.) Fortunately, when it comes to banking issues or anything to do with shared property or debt, you're on the ball. That's important.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're high visibility today, which means people notice you. Unfortunately, you might not create the impression you want because someone might give you misinformation. This is a shame because discussions with partners and close friends are lively and energetic. Be careful.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, actor Harry Connick Jr. (1967) shares your birthday. You are opinionated, independent and often unconventional. You are also caring and compassionate.
