Your Horoscope for the Week of September 18

1. Virgo You dislike unpredictability, but you may have to stomach some excitement this week. A chance meeting or encounter could give you a financial opportunity you have been dreaming of. But consider the long-term consequences carefully. Likewise in your love life, consider if you are truly ready to commit to a certain situation for the long haul. But wait to make moves until after Thursday when your ruler, clever Mercury, finally becomes more clear-headed after going direct. Take some much needed me-time to recharge this weekend, preferably with members of your old, trusted crew. 2. Libra A lot of change is catalyzing this week. Your ruler, alluring Venus, makes some major aspects Sunday and Monday that will have you reconsidering the viability of a personal or professional relationship. If you get a bad feeling about a situation, now is the time to step away and move in another direction. You will have the clarity you need after Thursday when verbal Mercury goes direct, and the sun moves into your sign. You will have the energy and momentum you need to stand up for yourself and get the results you want. So focus on your own priorities this weekend, rather than going along with others' plans. 3.
