Your Late Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, Sept. 16

Although you want to shout your plans from a mountaintop today, everyone seems too distracted to hear you. Their lack of interest may be annoying and can even make you angry enough to prompt unnecessary risks as warrior Mars aligns with bombastic Jupiter. However, your hot temper could interfere with an otherwise workable solution. You are better off remaining silent until your feelings settle down. Channeling your enthusiasm into direct action is your best strategy for now.

Confronting an overly intense situation head-on today sounds like a smart idea, but you could make matters worse by coming on too strong. Although it’s wise to turn down your volume, it’s not helpful to just let the issue slide. However, if you’re overbearing in your approach you might complicate things by projecting your anger onto the current situation. Instead, be gentle but firm as you share your concerns. A little diplomacy goes a long way.

You may be feeling insecure about your job today, prompting you to overcompensate and try to take on too much extra work. Displaying your competence is a wise strategy as long as you don’t overdo it. However, putting on a show without substance won’t solve anything because others will see through your facade. Even if you try to hide your worries, you still have to face the music in your own head. Performing to the best of your abilities is the simplest solution now.

You may have to perform in the spotlight today even if you prefer working behind the scenes. You would like a chance to express your deeper feelings, but in a more private setting. The problem is that you don’t want to bury your emotions by putting a positive spin on everything. Thankfully, you don’t have to deceive anyone if you are working for a higher cause. Instead of wasting energy trying to hide now, imagine what can happen when you shine your truth for all to see.

You’re really busy, but it doesn’t seem as if you’re getting much accomplished today. Your frustration could provoke risky behavior as you attempt to plow through the resistance that seems to be preventing your progress. But impulsive actions won’t be rewarded now; it’s better to keep your rebellious attitude under wraps and adopt a steadier pace for the next couple of days. Find a healthy physical outlet to work off any extra stress.

You could push yourself too hard today as you attempt to reach a lofty goal. But finishing what you start may be less important than doing your best, even if it feels as if you’re running in circles. It’s crucial to stay on course; veering off track might be rather confusing because the closer you get to the finish line, the farther away it seems. Relax; you have more time than you think.

Relationships seem too intense for you today, especially if you get into a serious disagreement with someone. Your nerves are on edge now and you may quickly grow annoyed by comments that you would normally just let pass by. There’s no need to struggle, even if you get hooked by your own drama. Don’t exhaust yourself by overextending your energy worrying about things you can’t control. Spending time on your own gives you a chance to gather your thoughts and listen to your heart.

You are ready to begin a new project as optimistic Jupiter aligns with enterprising Mars in your sign. However, you may not be able to convert your intentions into direct action as quickly as you wish. Unfortunately, your chances for success will diminish if you try too hard at this time. You might be better off retreating now in order to make your final preparations. Even if your imagination is racing ahead, taking a more methodical approach is your best bet.

You might feel as if you are driving through a minefield as action-hero Mars energizes your key planet Jupiter. You want to slow down but Mars revs up your engine and takes you for a wild ride. You may realize that you’re moving too fast and talking too loudly with no solutions in sight. In order to make the journey successfully, you must figure out how to decrease your speed and tone down your rhetoric. Apply the brakes gently and listen to the advice of someone you trust.

It’s a challenge to stick with your regular routines these days as adventurous Jupiter moves through your 6th House of Habits. However, once you are sure that your recent changes are really improvements, be ready to explore new territory. Don’t try to spin your wheels too fast because you are already doing better than you realize. Fortunately, your cool competence enables your talents to shine wherever you choose to go next.

It’s a very busy day as action-hero Mars aligns with your key planet Uranus. Career-related pressures are already motivating you to think about next week. But you also crave the sense of adventure that comes from going on a long trip, engaging in a course of study or committing to a spiritual practice. You may reach a point today where you think you’re ready to jump over the edge. Instead of visualizing your future, get busy and make it happen.

You have been in a long-term planning mode for a while — more concerned with next year than with tomorrow. Fortunately, you have the determination to succeed even if there’s a long way to go to reach your goals. Nevertheless, a sense of urgency may overtake everything else now, requiring you to deal with an immediate crisis. It’s time for you to swim in the pond of the present moment. Trust your intuition to lead you in the right direction.
