Though last Monday was Labor Day, astrological omens suggest the award for "Most Industrious Monday" will be handed to today. The moon, Saturn and Neptune are all in on the agenda, lending fortification to the projects and purposes we feel will progress things in a healthy direction. These Virgo sun vibes meet the warrior energy of the Aries moon and it's full throttle focus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's a busy day, but you'll win it if you don't let time boss you around. Control the tempo without showing the strain. Even with tight timelines, you set the rhythm. Show that you can calmly deliver, no matter how fast the clock ticks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Somewhere in the blur of activity, eyes will meet and hold. Steady, magnetic dynamics don't need words. Let silence work for you first. Then, when you finally use words, they land lovely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With the decisions on your plate today, you'll only take direction from people who have firsthand experience. Those who've actually been through something similar and succeeded will be the allies who fortify you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You've a mindset of openness and possibility today. Instead of defaulting to "no" out of caution, habit or fear, you begin from a place of yesand look for ways to make things work. You'll find them, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tiny tweaks to your tools, environment or process will lead to tangible improvements in how you feel and what you get done. Today isn't about trying harder; it's about designing a world where things go smoothly because you set them up that way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What feels like magic is really networking. Timing and connections line up fortuitously, and it's not something you could have engineered by yourself in advance. But you're doing the work, so this kind of "luck" will keep coming.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll see 10 possible solutions to a problem you used to think had just one. In a way, it's a relief. But it also could tip into the realm of being overwhelming. And choosing is a job, too. Luckily, you'll have help.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's hard when you don't get the assistance you need in the moment. But if you manage to succeed anyway, that struggle becomes a source of pride -- proof of your character. In short: Today it's a challenge, and tomorrow it's bragging rights.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Three things line up to speed along a transformation: You'll have a real break with old rhythms. New inputs such as friends and projects will feed a different part of you. And you'll have time in these spaces so new things gel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've noticed a paradox: People's attempts to correct wrongs can sometimes create new wrongs. And even when you realize this risk exists, you're still the kind of person who tries to fix things anyway.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The role that used to be a challenge for you is now easy enough to be boring and repetitive enough to feel like a grind. Now what? The answer lies in something you've been curious about or hungry for.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be intentional about what you say -- and what you communicate without words, too. Sometimes not responding at all is the most powerful move, because the golden silence creates room for others to fill the space. You'll like what is revealed.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 8). Welcome to your Year of Unshakable Standing. Your position and reputation become solid and undeniable. Expect career breakthroughs and flattering attention, and just when you get the evidence that you're ready for more, it coming to you on a silver platter. More highlights: You'll receive a letter or message that hits the soul. A commitment made in joy becomes a cornerstone. You turn talents into income. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 50, 21, 35 and 5.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: On tour promoting her latest album, "Trustfall," P!NK confesses she's been performing with a torn bicep and torn meniscus in her knees. The can-do spirit is no surprise from the rebel nonconformist with the power vocals and breathtaking aerial choreography. The Virgo pop star was born when Mars was in maternal Cancer and four luminaries were in meticulous Virgo. Add the fiery unpredictability of an Aries moon to the mix and lucky planet Jupiter in Leo, in the sign of entertainment.
